This non-technical Kilimanjaro camping route is relatively new and one of the most popular routes currently chosen for ascending Kilimanjaro for its scenery, views and route profile. The route starts in the remote west Kilimanjaro area through the forest reserve and generally is much quieter due to it’s distant starting point. The route approaches the Kibo cone through the Shira Plateau and eventually joining the southern circuit passing the small ‘scrambling’ (using your hands and legs) section at the Barranco wall which truly gives you that mountain climbing feeling without any special equipment or experience.
- Not recommended for travelers with lung problems or other known altitude related medical conditions

Thank you Shah and Dennis!!!! - THE BEST WEEK!!!!! Our 8 day Lemosho tour with Shah was absolutely incredible. Shah Tours, and especially Harshil, was so helpful in accommodating our dates (even when they changed a few times!) and ensuring we had a perfectly planned trip from our very first email exchange.
Our crew on the climb was absolutely phenomenal. With Dennis and Harold as our fearless leaders, Joseph making us amazing meals, and Lamek ensuring we were always hydrated and happy, we felt so well supported, safe and taken care of! Our equipment and camp setups were very nice and we could not have asked for more. The Lemosho route was so beautiful and we recommend it so highly! This was a week we will be talking about for many many years to come, and we have already been recommending it to family and friends.
To our team - thank you so much!!! We miss you guys already!!
To everyone considering this break - DO IT!

Highly highly recommend!! - Climbing Kilimanjaro with Shah Tours was beyond amazing!
Our guides, Mathayo and Hamza, were incredible— very knowledgeable, professional, constantly supporting and encouraging us, and very patient especially during the challenging summit hike. Mathayo was very quick to source a water bladder from Moshi to be brought in with restock supplies on day 5 when one of our water bladders broke on day 2.
The whole team’s efficiency was remarkable, from setting up camp, prepping food, setting up coffee stops on top of Barranco Wall and along the way to Barafu camp, to ensuring every detail was handled smoothly.
Chef King David kept us well-fueled with delicious meals, and the entire crew’s energy was infectious - we had multiple song&dance sessions on the mountain. The porters always went out of their way for us - always with a smile on their faces despite having done serious heavy lifting during the day. It really did take a whole village to get us up there and we are incredibly grateful for each member of our team!!
If I were to go back, I would go back with the same team for sure!
Not to forget to mention Michael at Shah Tours who helped plan all the logistics for the climb and ensured everything was seamless from the word go.
Despite being so well-organized, Shah Tours was also impressively cost-friendly, offering incredible value for such a life-changing adventure. We couldn't have asked for a better team to get us to the Roof of Africa!

Way to happiness - Our Kilimanjaro tour was an unforgettable adventure for us (couple + two adult sons). Nature experience, family event, summit happiness and last but not least the intense encounter with the friendly and cheerful lifestyle of our Tanzanian team were an unforgettable adventure for us! The two guides have guided us excellently through all the ups and downs! With their experience, they always had the best tips for us and were able to shine with expertise on the specifics of the Kilimanjaro region. They also organized my (mother) conditional early descent silently and sensitively. I was picked up by the 2. Guide perfectly guided down. The rest of the family was supported very individually and safely brought to the summit at the right time.
Food, equipment and preliminary planning were top anyway!
However, the psychological accompaniment deserves special praise! We felt very well looked after in every second!
Asante, dear Shah team

outstanding adventure organized by Shah Tours - BOOKING
From the first contact to the final booking, I never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a response.
Our tour consultant (Michael Msuya) also realise special requests incl. subsequent customer-specific safari. We are very happy to have him as our contact person.
LEMOSHO ROUTE 8-days-climb
We joined a group for the hike. Shah Tours had thirteen clients at the time, but we were divided into two smaller, independent groups.
Our group was supported by twenty-two porters, a cook and three mountain guides. Everything was perfectly organised under the guidance of our chief guide Calvin Shayo. The other guides (David Mmbando & "Mr Pole-Pole") also had exceptional expertise and dedication. In general, the entire Shah Tours team were outstanding!
On the day of the summit climb, we were also accompanied by three porters to motivate us with songs and provide support when needed. As a result, all clients managed to ascend and descend safely on this rather long day.
Thanks again to everyone who made this wonderful adventure possible!

Excellent Experience with a Fantastic Crew - We trekked the Lemosho route as a group of 5 friends and all mostly first-time climbers and so glad we chose Shah Tours.
From the on-set the team was very supportive and providing the right advise. The owner himself is hand on and was in constant touch with us whenever required to guide us through the planning process.
From our equipment to dietary requirements, they were mindful of every detail and exceeded our expectations. Meals prepared were exceptional, especially considering we were all vegetarians and some even Gluten Free!
I cannot find enough superlatives for the entire crew with a special shout out to Calvin Shayo (Lead Guide) and Kelvin Jr and Anania and the entire team. Be sure to request for them for your hike. This is an incredible team, extremely motivational with keen attention to detail and always going the extra mile.

Unforgettable experience climbing Kili thanks to the guides and wonderful staff at Shah Tours - Climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route 7 day expedition at the end of February/start of March and the experience was unforgettable. Challenging but very rewarding experience that wouldn't have been possible without the incredible team at Shah Tours. Our guides Calvin, Calvin and Joshua were incredible hosts and helped encourage and push our entire group of 7 to the top. All the porters were extremely friendly, helpful and hardworking and the food on the mountain was top notch. Behind the scenes staff made everything easy leading up to the trip and all the equipment we rented was in great condition and well suited for the trek. We had shopped around with other tour companies before landing on Shah and I'm so happy that they're who we chose to go with. My girlfriend and I couldn't imagine a better experience for climbing Kilimanjaro.

Indescribably good experience - I can only say good things about this company. We, 2 women, chose the 7-day Lemosho route. The crew was very good, we had a lot of fun. The food was very good and there was far too much choice. Fresh food was cooked every day and there was fruit three times a day. Thanks to the chef for the good leadership. The guards Hamza and Iddy were charming. They were always there for us and motivated us to keep going. Both are very caring and respond to our wishes and problems. Thanks to the guys for everything.
Thanks also to Alex, who infected us with his laughter every day, I have never seen such a super friendly and peaceful person.
Nochaml Asante Sana to the guys. HAKUNA MATAT

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro - We had an amazing time climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Shah tours. Our tour guide John did a fantastic job making sure we got to the top safely. We made amazing memories on this trip and are so thankful for our Shah team for helping us get there. I would highly recommend Shah for getting you to Uhuru Peak!

8 day Lemosho tour to Kilimanjaro - We decided on the 8-day tour with Shah Tours.
We had never been on such a crazy tour before and were very nervous. The tour guide Calvin, however, took away all our excitement and treated us like his family! The assistant David was also just great, the two of them together were super good and we had a lot of fun and a great experience! The two of them also took us to the top and we reached Uhuru Peak with them!
The chef Emanuel made super delicious food every day and all in a small tent.
We were very happy that we did it with Shah Tours and that we definitely had the best guides!
Thanks to the whole team!

Highly recommend guide Mathayo Sanka and his assistant Calvin - Shah tours had organized the 7-days kilimanjaro trek for a group of 4 people through Lemosho.. The guide Mathayo Sanka and his assistant Calvin and the crew members were very detail oriented and caring. Mathayo was very knowledgeable and ensured that we had a safe and memorable summit.
