    Great Lake Expedition's 8-day Lemosho trip was an incredible experience from beginning to end, and it is deserving of more than five stars! From the verdant rainforest to the breathtaking peak views, the journey was full of breathtaking scenery, and the team's outstanding support made every step delightful. The porters and chefs made sure we were comfortable with their excellent service and delectable meals, and the guides were very informed, inspiring, and attentive. A difficult climb was transformed into a life-altering experience by Great Lake Expedition's meticulous attention to detail and sincere concern. I would give them ten stars if I could.

    Great Lake Expedition provided our group with the experience of a lifetime during our 8 day Lemosho-Western Breach trek. Robert and the guides were incredibly patient and knowledgeable and adjusted to the various paces of our group - with their help our entire group of 13 was able to summit successfully. With Kili’s 8 day tour, we not only got to travel at an excellent pace and see amazing scenery, we all got to really enjoy our summit without the difficulties that often accompany this ascent. The porters were superhuman in their efforts and the food prepared by Yonath was nothing short of spectacular . Beyond the incredible staff, Great Lake Expedition provided us with first-rate service every step of the way, from our initial meetup in the hotel to discuss our itinerary, to the quality equipment and tents they supplied. I can’t recommend them strongly enough to anyone thinking about tackling Kilimanjaro.

    We had a group of 3 people did the Lemosho route 8 days with Great Lake Expedition team. Before we arrived at Moshi, Great Lake Expedition team was always patiently answering our queries online (always quick response) which helped us to do the preparation. Great Lake Expedition team also checked whether we had sufficient gears before we started climbing and provided free gears for us when needed. Then we’ve been assigned with the best supporting team to climb the mountain. Our guides Robert were also really experienced and always taking care of us when we were walking. We definitely could not make it to the top without them (also joking with each other all the time haha). Then the chef Yohaneth, who has many years’ experiences working in hotel, provided beyond our expectation meals everyday to us on the mountain The whole trekking was an experience which we will remember for the whole life. And Great Lake Expedition team are definitely the most important part in our memories (everyone cried when leaving on Day 8 haha). Fully recommending Great Lake Expedition to all of you who wanted to climb Kili!

    A truly wonderful and memorable trip. The trek was brilliant, but it was the Great Lake Expedition team that made the experience truly exceptional. Great Lake Expedition were incredibly responsive from the point of booking and could not have been more helpful and welcoming throughout the 8 days on the mountain. The guides and porters were exceptional from start to finish - ensuring that everyone enjoyed the experience as much as possible (but not at the expense of our health and safety, which was taken very seriously). Cannot recommend enough!!

    A once in a lifetime experience, we will never forget. We came with the intend to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and left with an unforgettable experience that was not only about achieving our goal, but much more about the people who created these memories. Thank you, Muntali and his team for carrying everything we needed, setting up the camp and always smiling - you have our utmost respect and we were more than thankful to have you. Thank you, John, for cooking the most delicious meals at an altitude of 3000m and above and for always keeping us properly fueled to conquer the mountain. Thank you, Jackson and Robert, for being the best guides we could have wished for. Thank you, for pushing us all the way to the top, for all the motivation, the professionalism, the dance moves and sharing your knowledge on people, nature and the area with us. We cannot recommend this team more, thank you for making this trip truly unforgettable.

    This was my first trip to Tanzania and I cannot recommend coming to this country and utilizing Great lake expedition enough. From picking us up at the airport, shuttling us around Moshi, and organizing our entire trek up the mountain they had us fully taken care of. We did the 8 day Lemosho route and had a group of 12. All 12 people were fully taken care of and hit their goal on our trip. The food was so delicious and our accommodations , tents, and gear that was rented was of the highest quality. Our guides made sure everyone was safe the entire time but also took the time to teach us Swahili, educate us on Tanzanian culture, and teach us more about the wildlife and going up the mountain. Our lead guides all had dozens (if not hundreds) of summits and were well equipped for any situation. I don’t often write reviews but I will go out fully on a limb to say this is one of the best companies and travel experiences out there. Don’t hesitate and compare with other companies just go straight with Great Lake Expedition and finally come see one of the best countries on earth without any stress or hesitation. 10/10 review.

    THANK YOU Great Lake Expedition for getting me to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro! We climbed the Lemosho Route, which was a very difficult and strenuous 8 day route to the summit which would have been impossible without the motivation and patience of Amiry and the incredible team of guides. The porters are superhuman, always ensuring the entire camp was set up prior to our arrival. They cooked for us daily, and the freshly made soup was always a delight! I will never forget my time on Kilimanjaro with Great Lake Expedition, and I cannot thank the team enough. I will definitely return!

    Our group of 5 completed this journey with the Great Lake Expedition team in october 2024. We were more than impressed with all aspects of the trip. From the moment we made our first enquiry, Roster helped us customise our trip to our needs and provided timely support and information. Accommodation prior to and after the trek was amazing. The Great Lake Expedition drivers who collected us and dropped us to hotel were just the best. During the trek, Aricko and his team were brilliant. They really put our health and wellbeing at the centre of everything we done during our 6 days on the mountain. Food was great. Tents were awesome. The whole crew were fun and supportive. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Great Lake Expedition team for making our journey to the top of Africa one to remember!

    Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route with Great Lake Expedition was a dream come true! I am still in awe of this experience. We could not thank Great Lake Expedition enough for making this the adventure of a lifetime possible. We owe our success to our guides, Amoni, Henry, and Antony along with our chef, Yonathan, and porters, who poured so much energy, encouragement, and care into every aspect of our trek. We took on the challenge excitedly and willingly, but these men made sure our team's collective dream was realized in the most amazing and unforgettable way. Highly, highly recommend Great Lake Expedition if climbing Kilimanjaro is on your bucket list!

    Our 8-day trek on the Lemosho Route to Kilimanjaro was an incredible experience, made perfect by the outstanding team at Great Lake Expedition. The Lemosho Route’s breathtaking scenery, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, was enhanced by the expert guidance of our lead guide, who provided invaluable support and encouragement throughout the journey. The team’s attention to detail, from setting up comfortable camps to preparing delicious meals, made the trek enjoyable and stress-free. The porters and crew were tireless in their efforts, always going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. Thanks to their professionalism and dedication, we reached the summit with confidence and cherished memories. I highly recommend Great Lake Expedition for anyone looking to conquer Kilimanjaro with a reliable and exceptional team!
