FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 11-day Lemosho worth the extra cost?+
Absolutely. The Lemosho 11-Day is suitable for beginners with a reasonable level of fitness. You don’t need prior mountaineering experience — just a willingness to walk uphill for 4–8 hours per day. We recommend starting a fitness routine (walking, jogging, stair-climbing) at least 8 weeks before your departure.
Is equipment rental available?+
Yes, we offer high-quality rental gear including sleeping bags (-10°C rated), trekking poles, waterproof jackets, gaiters, and headlamps. Please let us know in advance what you need so we can ensure availability. Rental costs range from $10–$40 per item per trip.
What meals are provided on the mountain?+
Three meals per day: breakfast (porridge, eggs, toast, tea/coffee), lunch (packed picnic with sandwiches, fruit, snacks), and dinner (soup, stew, vegetables, rice or pasta, dessert). Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available — just inform us when booking.
Can I add a safari after the 11-day climb?+
Yes many climbers add a Serengeti safari or Zanzibar beach holiday. Ask for package deals.
Do I need travel insurance?+
Yes, travel insurance is mandatory. Your policy must cover high-altitude trekking up to 6,000m, emergency evacuation by helicopter, and trip cancellation. We recommend World Nomads, Allianz, or AXA for climbers. Please bring a copy of your policy to the briefing.
Can vegetarians join the climb?+
Absolutely. We cater to all dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and gluten-free. Our mountain cooks are experienced in preparing nutritious and tasty plant-based meals at altitude. Just let us know your dietary needs at the time of booking.
Can I store my luggage in Moshi during the climb?+
Yes, free luggage storage is included. You can leave your main suitcase at our Moshi office during the trek. We recommend packing a separate duffel for the mountain (15kg max per person, carried by porters) and leaving the rest in secure storage.
What is the toilet situation on the mountain?+
On the Lemosho Route, each hut has flush toilets (though simple). Along the trail, there are public pit latrines at designated rest points. We recommend bringing a small pack of tissues and hand sanitiser. Summit night has no toilet facilities — plan accordingly.
How do I pay the remaining balance?+
After the 30% deposit, you can pay the balance via bank transfer, credit card (Visa/Mastercard/Amex), PayPal, or cryptocurrency. Payment schedules are flexible — we’ll work with you to find a plan that suits your needs.
What happens if I get altitude sickness?+
Our guides are trained in wilderness first-aid and carry emergency oxygen and a pulse oximeter to monitor your blood oxygen levels. If symptoms become severe, the guide will escort you down immediately — the best treatment for altitude sickness is descent. We carry emergency rescue insurance for helicopter evacuation if needed.
Can I extend my trip with a safari or Zanzibar?+
Yes! Many climbers combine their Kilimanjaro climb with a Tanzania safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) or a beach holiday in Zanzibar. We offer discounted package deals — ask our team for a combined itinerary quote.
