Is prior hiking experience necessary for the Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route trek?

While prior hiking experience is beneficial, the Lemosho Route is suitable for both novice and experienced trekkers. However, a good level of physical fitness and mental preparation is essential.

How challenging is the Lemosho Route?

The Lemosho Route is considered a challenging trek due to its duration and altitude gain. Adequate acclimatization and physical fitness are crucial for a successful and enjoyable experience.

What is the best time of year to hike Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route?

The best time to hike Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route is during the dry seasons, from January to mid-March and June to October. These months offer more stable weather conditions and clearer views.

What kind of accommodation is provided during the trek?

Accommodation during the trek consists of sturdy mountain tents with comfortable sleeping mats. Our team will set up the campsites along the route, providing a cozy and safe environment.

What are the meals like during the trek?

Our experienced cooks will prepare nutritious meals throughout the trek, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated with prior notice.

Are there toilet facilities along the trail?

Basic toilet facilities, such as portable toilets or latrine-style facilities, are available at the campsites. During the trek, our team will set up private toilet tents for your convenience.

Is bottled water provided during the trek?

We recommend bringing your own reusable water bottles, as we promote responsible and eco-friendly practices. Our team will provide boiled and filtered water at the campsites for refilling your bottles.

Are there any age restrictions for the Lemosho Route trek?

While there is no strict age restriction, it is important to consider the physical demands of the trek. Children under the age of 10 are generally not recommended, but each individual's fitness level and ability should be taken into account.

Is altitude sickness a concern during the Lemosho Route trek?

Altitude sickness can affect trekkers at high elevations. Our itinerary is designed to allow for proper acclimatization, with gradual ascent and rest days. Our experienced guides monitor participants for any signs of altitude sickness and take necessary precautions.

Do I need to bring my own hiking gear?

While Burigi Chato Safaris Tour Company provides certain essential equipment such as tents, it is recommended to bring your own hiking gear, including sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing, a sleeping bag, and a daypack. We provide a detailed packing list to help you prepare.

How many guides and porters will be accompanying the trek?

The number of guides and porters depends on the group size. We maintain a favorable guide-to-trekker ratio to ensure personalized attention and assistance. Additionally, porters are responsible for carrying camping equipment and supplies.

What safety measures are in place during the trek?

Safety is our top priority. Our guides are trained in first aid and have extensive knowledge of high-altitude trekking. We carry comprehensive first aid kits, monitor participants' health, and have emergency evacuation procedures in place if needed.

I had the most incredible experience on this 3-day Tanzania Safari Tour! From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, offering insights about the wildlife and culture. We saw the 'Big Five,' and the game drives through Serengeti National Park were beyond my expectations. The lodges were comfortable, and the food was delicious. If you’re short on time but want to experience Tanzania’s beauty, this is the perfect package!

This 3-day Tanzania safari exceeded my expectations! The tour was well-organized, and we were able to explore three different national parks. Each day brought new sights and animals, and the guide's expertise made a huge difference in spotting animals like lions, cheetahs, and even elusive leopards. The lodges were cozy, with great food and excellent service. I would highly recommend this safari for anyone with limited time looking for a true Tanzanian wildlife experience
