The Kilimanjaro climb 8 days lemosho is the best for acclimatization.The remote is less used and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau.

The minimum duration for the Lemosho route is 6 days, however we strongly recommend hiking the route in 8 days. The additional 8th day will give your body more time to acclimatize, reducing the effects of altitude sickness and give you more time to rest before attempting the summit.

We had such a great time with Emmanuel‘s Tanzania Joy Tour and all his Partners! Emmanuel and his sister Mary find a solution for everything. Very professional. The Kilimandjaro trek was so great. A huge thanks to the porters, so strong and so nice, Togolai Gerevas Gerard Godefroy Elias Thomas Bon Kolokolo Rashid Mohamed Ali (that's two persons), cook “Mr. Delicious” Jeremia, and guides Patrick and Lennard. They all took extreme good care of us and we managed the summit. Patrick knows his mountain and his team very well, Lennard is the Pacemaker. We chose the 8 Days Lemosho route for best acclimatization of the body, so it was pole pole (slowly slowly) and successful ;) The summit ascension (from midnight to 7am, so at night) was very cold so to any layers you plan to wear, take an extra fleece jacket in the backpack just in case. It was important for us to give the tips directly to each of them, which was accepted by the guide. It was good to see joy in the eyes of each of them. If this is also important for you, make sure to plan it with the guide (he knows who does what exactly - some porters take extra tasks). You may feel some friction, apparently some guides keep a percentage of the porters tips for themselves - remember, this is YOUR gift to each team member, so it is YOUR decision to give it personally to each of them. Now it is important to discuss the best time with the guide, to not jeopardize his organization - usually at the very end, when all tasks have been completed. Make sure to take USD bank notes printed after 2006 as the older ones cannot be used in Tanzania. EURO bank notes are also accepted for the tips. Then we had a great 4-day-safari with guide Roger (he knows so much! And is very kind) and cook Rashid. Thanks TJT for everything!
Loved it

It really was a fantastic trip! Summit day was tough, but once you are on top of Uhuru peak, everything is immediately forgotten, what a view. But all the days before and after Summit day were also fantastic!! Only positive experiences with Tanzania Joy Tours. All my many questions were answered quickly and the team that came along was really great! My guide was Kelvin and he was really very skilled and super friendly. I also felt really safe and comfortable with him. I can only highly recommend Tanzania Joy Tours and a climb to Kilimanjaro to everyone!!!
Oh yeah !!

Very nice experience with our guide Patrick and his team on the Lemosho route. The trek was fantastic and the team is a real family. Mr Delicious, our cook is probably the best cook of the Kilimanjaro !! Thanks for everything !!
Best Tour Company for Kilimanjaro!

Tanzania Joy Tours provided an all-around exceptional experience! Patrick (the Guide) and his "Dream Team" made sure all details were taken care of to ensure a successful summit. Patrick is a very experienced guide, and was able to make adjustments along the way to ensure that I was able to make it to Uhuru. The quality of the meals was exceptional, and there was always more than I could possibly eat. The attention to detail was very good - even though we had rain and snow 6 out of 7 days, the team kept the inside of my tent clean and dry. Exceptional communications from TJ Tours both before and after the climb! I highly recommend TJ Tours - ask for Patrick and his "Dream Team"!
