Brilliant 8 day Lemosho Route hike!
5/5

I booked the 8 day Lemosho route hike with Almighty Kilimanjaro via The Adventure People. The hike was fantastic, and our guides (Joseph and Muni) were both brilliant throughout. They were kind, keen to answer our many questions, and explained lots to us about the terrain and the mountain along the way. I booked as a solo traveller, and together we were a group of two which worked well. The wider team of cook/waiter/porters were also excellent, and I cannot thank them enough for their amazing efforts, and helping to get us to the summit. They always arrived ahead of us at the campsite, and set up our tents/prepared food etc, and were very reliable and helpful. The hike itself was well planned, and we had plenty of time for rest and recovery along the way. I would highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro, they were great. Thank you!

An amazing 7 days on Kilimanjaro
5/5

Our guides Muntari and Frankie, and the rest of the crew gave us an amazing experience on the Machame route up Kilimanajro. They looked after us every step of the way and made it the trip of a lifetime for our group. The views, the hiking, the local knowledge—they couldn't have done a better job on any of it.

Some great things about the trip:
- The personal comforts given to us each day, like being woken up for tea in our tents each morning, and hot water to wash ourselves before/after hiking, were fantastic
- Massive meals for breakfast/lunch/dinner that tasted amazing and kept us fueled throughout the trip
- Setting up a private toilet for our group at each of the campsites (100% needed)

The best thing they did was the attention and care shown to our safety. Even though several members of the group fell ill with altitude sickness, they made sure we were in capable hands and everyone had a great time.

Lastly, Amani deserves a personal shoutout for doing a fantastic job as our waiter. He was a great laugh and really made the trip unforgettable.

Almighty!
5/5

Had an amazing experience trekking Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route with Almighty! I was traveling by myself and was paired with another traveler for the duration. During my whole visit in Tanzania Almighty took care of everything and were helpful with all questions.

The guides Muni and Joseph were super knowledgeable and helped us enjoy the trip safely! Joseph also had a great sense of how to time our climb on summit day so we reached the peak at sunrise!

Big thank yous to the chef Abu and waiter God Bless and the porter who made our trip possible!

Words can’t describe how amazing Joseph and his team are at Almighty Kilimanjaro. They created an absolutely wonderful experience! Not only did I meet some really amazing people, but lifelong memories were created on this epic trip. I would highly recommend Joseph and his team at Almighty Kilimanjaro.

We were so lucky to see a wide variety of animals including leopards, lions, cheetahs, elephants and giraffes. The lodge we stayed at was superb. The accommodations were very well maintained and very clean. It was great!

Best adventure and experience I've had
5/5

Incredible adventure, the hike is difficult but rewarding however the guide Amiri and his porters and chef really made the experience. They went above and beyond to assist me with my ascent, I would get 3-4 course meals, fresh water, bowls of water for washing and tea or coffee for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Also the hotel which you stay at before and after the hike is of very high quality probably one of the best in the area.

Experienced, knowledgable and friendly.
5/5

Prior to our hike up Kilimanjaro we went on safari for 2 days also organised by Almighty Kilimanjaro. We visited the Tarangire national park and the Ngorongoro crater.

Mohammed was our guide and we could not be more thankful for the amazing experience he gave us. Not only was he friendly and knowledgable about the animals and environment in the national parks we visited but he also gave us so much information about the regions we traveled through to get to the parks including the local culture and tribes we passed.
We were so lucky in our animal encounters with so many close up experiences with elephants, giraffes, zebras and a female lion walking along the road with us.
As we visited in June, just after wet season, the grass was long and some of the animals were slightly more difficult to spot but Mohammed remained in radio contact with other tour guides and if any animal sighting was reported ensured we got a front seat view. This allowed us to have a fantastic view of male lions and hippos.

The accommodation overnight was private and comfortable with an acrobatic and musical performance after dinner.

We were accompanied by a private chef named Abu who always had a smile and made us delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also provided snacks so we never felt without.

Would highly recommend.

Incredible experience, flexible scheduling, & responsive
5/5

We did the 8-day Lemosho route + 4 day safari with Almighty Kilimanjaro. Everything was perfect!

Responsiveness + service:
They met us at the airport, took care of any kind of driving need (including little things like going to the market for a toothbrush or driving us to/from dinner in Moshi). We were given a briefing before Kilimanjaro and another before the safari which really helped answer any remaining questions we had. We had a day off in between & decided we wanted to go to the hotsprings - the company was able to book us a driver to do this the day before & took care of us the entire way. We also did a coffee plantation tour the morning of our ride to the airport and they took care of our luggage, managing our time, getting us there, taking us to lunch, and then driving us to the airport. Anything we needed, they were there to provide, always responding on whatsapp within a few minutes.

Safari:
Our safari guide was Emmanuel and we cannot say enough good things about him!! He's a good driver, knows everything about the animals, trees, plans, landscapes, etc. He will even answer all the hypothetical questions of one animal against another you can think of for you :D. He is always in contact with seemingly everyone in the entire park and knows exactly where to go to maximize our number of animals. We saw the big 5 which included countless lions (right up against our door! :O). The hotels were great especially in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - we saw zebras and giraffes right outside our balconies! Emmanuel would also sit with us at dinner when he stayed at the same hotel as us and learning about his life, views, & country really made the trip unforgettable.

Kilimanjaro:
Our lead guide was Ombeni and he and his entire team of guides & porters were great! He happily answered all our questions, reassured us about conditions on the mountain, checked in on us, and helped us any time we needed it. He also gave us story time during our shorter acclimitization hikes in the evening which was a great time to hear about his views and learn more about Kilimanjaro. There was lots of singing and dancing and this really encouraged us up the mountain and was great on the way down too :).

A few things I think might have made it even better: the guides spending more time with the clients - sitting with us at dinner or drinking tea, some icebreakers so we can get to know each other (I would have expected after 8 days that they knew our names and we knew theirs), the food was great, but after 8 days it was a bit repetitive :), and the final day restaurant we went to - it would have been great to get restaurant food instead of more mountain food (even if we had to pay for it, we really wanted something different at this point).
