Mt Kilimanjaro Trek Tours
So you want to stand on top of Africa? The journey up Kilimanjaro takes you through proper rainforest, across this massive plateau called Shira, past the Lava Tower where the air gets proper thin, then up the Barranco Wall - which sounds scary but isn't really. Uhuru Peak at sunrise though? That's the moment that makes it all worth it.

Our time with World Adventure Tours was amazing. Our guides Issa and John were super supportive and kept us safe the whole time along with the rest of the team of incredible porters and a chef who kept us very well fed with his incredible creations , all done with a couple of pans and a stove. We couldn't have asked for more, and would recommend this trip to anyone looking to successfully climb Kili.

I organized this trip for our group of six Swiss climbers and joined the adventure. Zara Tours in Moshi made it unforgettable. From summiting Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route to the 5-day safari, the team led by Yesse and guide Suleiman with driver Festus provided exceptional support, knowledge, and care, ensuring every moment was safe, inspiring, and truly memorable.

Andrea • traveled in June
I did the Lemosho Route with Kwesa Tour on June 2024 as solo guided by Mariki and it was one of the best experience of my life! Lemosho Route has a wide variety of vegetations and offers a nice path and I think it is one of the best choices to conquer Uhuru Peak. Anyhow the best part was the support received by the team and my guide Mariki: unfortunately acclimatization was not easy for me and I had to face issues from second half of day two, untill the end of day four, nevertheless following the advices of Mariki and thanks to his incredible support I was able to complete the tour in 7 days. Kwesa also offers a cozy and familiar place to stay at killibase, don't miss the opportunity!

Best time to visit Mount Kilimanjaro
- Winter 2025 / 2026
The Lemosho route really shines during winter climbs on Kilimanjaro. It takes 8 days which gives you proper time to adjust to the altitude - you'll start in the forest at 2,200m and work your way across the wide-open Shira Plateau. Our travelers keep telling us how much that extra day helps them handle the winter conditions. The guides come prepared with special winter gear and those essential hot-water bottles that make such a difference during those freezing nights at Barafu Camp (4,640m). Even when temperatures drop below zero at the higher camps, the support teams somehow manage to serve up hot meals that keep everyone going.

Spring climbing on Kilimanjaro is particularly good on both the Machame and Lemosho routes. The 7-day Machame trek really comes into its own with clear spring skies - you get amazing views across the moorland and down to the plains. Our groups love camping at Shira Plateau this time of year since the nights are warmer and you can see countless stars overhead. Taking the longer 8-day Lemosho route in spring gives photographers plenty of chances to capture the mountain's transformation as winter snow melts away and spring plants emerge. The local guides know all the spots where seasonal wildflowers pop up briefly at the lower elevations.

The Lemosho route takes 8 days on Kilimanjaro and comes highly recommended for summer climbs, with TourRadar customers noting how the extended acclimatization helps during warmer weather. As you cross the wide Shira Plateau, the route gives your body proper time to adapt, while guides pay extra attention to pacing throughout summer ascents. Many travelers choose the 7-day Machame path instead, liking how it moves through rainforest, mountain meadows and alpine desert, offering natural shelter from summer temperatures. The mountain teams on both routes have extensive experience handling summer conditions - they pick campsites with good ventilation, and know the perfect timing for summit attempts to catch cooler morning air. Our customers often mention how the support crews keep spirits high through warm days, serving hot meals at elevation and starting spontaneous songs that make afternoon climbs more enjoyable.

TourRadar customers consistently point to four tour companies that really excel at Kilimanjaro climbs: World Adventure Tours, Spider Tours and Safaris, Kwesa Tours and also Migration Venture Africa. The guides from these operators get lots of mentions for going above and beyond - they're patient when you're struggling with altitude, keep spirits up during tough sections and know exactly when to push or pull back based on conditions and group energy. The food gets talked about a lot in the reviews too. It's actually quite impressive what these teams manage to cook up at high camps - hot meals that give you the energy you need for those pre-dawn summit pushes. They bring quality gear as well, which matters enormously when you're dealing with temperature swings and weather changes on the mountain. What really comes through in traveler feedback is how these companies handle the human side of the climb. The guides don't just lead - they create this supportive team atmosphere that makes a big difference when you're tired and the air's getting thin. They're good at reading people too, knowing when someone needs extra encouragement or when to adjust the pace to keep the group moving safely together.
