Frequently asked questions

How high is the success rate on the 8-day Lemosho route?

Around 98.5% of our climbers reach Uhuru Peak on this itinerary. The extra days on the Shira Plateau give your body time to acclimatise before summit night.

What is included in the price?

Park and rescue fees, camping equipment, all meals on the mountain, professional guides, cook and fairly-paid porters, emergency oxygen and a pulse oximeter, plus airport transfers and two nights in a Moshi hotel.

Do I need technical climbing experience?

No. Lemosho is a walking route — good general fitness and a few months of hill walking or cardio training are enough.

When is the best time to climb Lemosho?

January to mid-March and June to October are the driest months, but we run departures year-round from Moshi.
