Lemosho Route:

Approaching from the west, the Lemosho route is a relatively new route and is one of the best for scenery. It is one of our highly recommended routes, not only for its stunning scenery, but also due to its steady incline and better acclimatization. The first two days of the climb are quiet and have relatively low traffic, before joining the more popular Machame route. Time period is 7days and 8days.

  • Incredible experience with great Service!!!

    Absolutely great!!! I'm totally thrilled. Communication with GoldenSummit was quick and easy at all times. All my questions were clarified in advance via email and WhatsApp. The organization was top from front to back. I was picked up from the airport by the organizer and my guide and driven to a nice hotel. The next day we started to Kilimanjaro. I booked the 9-day Lemosho route with overnight stay at the crater. Thanks to COVID, I was all alone. The team consisted of 7 men who accompanied me on Kilimanjaro. I felt very comfortable as a woman on my own during the whole tour. The Service was great all around and they took great care that I was well. Even after the tour Elly asked again if everything was to my satisfaction. The experience of standing on top of the summit is incredibly beautiful and hard to put into words. I would recommend it to anyone, whether alone, with friends or family. I would book GoldenSummit again anytime.

    Thanks to all Golden summit team they are really good organized all time taking care of us really feel like part of their family. We did the 8 days Lemosho route to the summit, which was perfect for everybody. The trip was amazing and life changing for us all. Our group of 9 climbers all reached the summit on a clear and breathtaking morning, as the sun broke over Mt. Kilimanjaro. Every day we have a delicious surprise from our best and best chef Mapenzi. I was impressed by it. Three times a day a warm healthy and tasty dish. During all day walking our guides Mtei, Laraha, Frenk and Lulu was close to us and be sure we were safe and make our dream came true and read Uhuru Peak. Were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and positive. They really knew the mountain, and took excellent care of us. We’ve learned a lot about the country, Kilimanjaro, vegetation and the culture. Our porters were also amazing. Were all extremely helpful, friendly and funny. Every time we arrived at a new camp, each porter made us feel welcome and at home. One thing that really impressed us about Golden Summit Adventures was having female GUIDE AND PORTERS. We were the only group I saw who had female porters in our crew and 1 of them works as a guide for the company. She was treated very good. A heart-felt thanks to Elly and his most excellent organization Golden Summit Adventures. We will definitely visit them again. The experience was life changing and I recommend them to all who plan on visiting Tanzania and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or going Safari.

  • Anniversary in Tanzania, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Safari.

    Golden Summit Adventures took very good care of myself and my husband from the airport pickup to the top of Kilimanjaro and also in Safari. My husband and I celebrated our 10-years anniversary in Tanzania, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and 6 days Safari. Our international airline cancelled our original flight and we ended up arriving in Dar es Salaam instead of Kilimanjaro one day earlier. Elly suggested alternatives for us; he gave us two options one is to find another flight from Dar to Kilimanjaro or to send the car to pick up in Dar es Salaam to Moshi, we choose them to come and pick up us there; 7 hrs driving we enjoy the trip. I can't say enough good things about GSA and our best best crew we have; they went over and above always making sure that we were comfortable and kept a steady pace during the trek and Safari. The Mountain tents and Safari tents were in best quality. All the equipment we used was in a better condition and we had a small seating area with a table inside filled with condiments. We also slept quite comfortably because the sleeping mattress was thick and of good quality it was unexpected. We were very glad to choose this company because also they are very flexible and were able to accommodate two last-minute changes of plans. There was no hope of me achieving my aim without him. Well done and thanks again Golden Summit Adventures, you were amazing......HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. All the best all team, all the best GSA, We wish to see you again….!!!

    Next day morning we met our guides meet us to the hotel for briefing and check our equipment and for the equipment that we needed which was by the way top notch.I should say we had more choice is colors. Our tent was very clean and always secure. Sleeping bags and mattress pads were excellent. Our crew kept us entertained on evenings as well as on Summit night with his singing. The team took care of all our needs, including providing iodine treated drinking water, hot water for washing and water packs to keep warm in the nights. I have to say massive thank you to Elly and his entire team as well as to Golden Summit Adventure. Elly is very passionate about her company and employees. I have noticed great respect to each other. The trek itself was incredible and made me glad I had chosen Golden Summit Adventures. Our team of 14 did an 8 Days Lemosho trek and summited with 100% success even a woman in her 70s made it. Even more impressive not a single member suffered altitude sickness. I attribute this to the careful management of the guides. Made it to the top only because of Golden Summit Adventures. Would recommend them anytime.

  • Enjoy the amazing adventure!!

    What a fantastic well organized trip, I was led by an amazing team. The route that I did was the 8 days Lemoshu route which I would recommend at all to anyone. Climbing the mountain was the toughest adventure but I had considerate and accommodating staff to assist very professional. Golden Summit Adventures did an extra job in making sure this was a journey of a lifetime. The team that took me up Kilimanjaro was even more amazing, extremely patient, they always made sure that I had enough food, water, and snacks. When my backpack became too heavy, he would help me carry it as well. The sky is my limit, I now feel and appreciate every bit of advice and how all the team give me big support. If you go with Golden Summit Adventures you have nothing to care about, just enjoy the amazing adventure!! Great experience and I recommend this company enough to future climbers:)

  • You Guys are Awesome..!!!

    Golden Summit Adventures team is very professional. Everything was on schedule and I had no problems or inconveniences with them. Our Kilimanjaro climb was a success. Our guides were both friendly and outgoing and knowledgeable not only about the mountain but the surrounding areas too. Nothing was a hassle, everything was possible and the honest open and friendly. We had a guides who making sure we eating and drinking enough along the way and I really needed that prompting. All 4 of us reached the summit despite some challenging conditions. A trip that will never be forgotten. Lovely people doing a great job. I highly recommend Golden summit adventures to anyone considering this hike.
