Top 10 Multi-day Tours in Kilimanjaro National Park, Kilimanjaro Region
Centering around massive Kilimanjaro (Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, rising to nearly 20,000 feet), the national park protects the area above 8,850 feet. On ascent, the mountain's foothills morph into lush forests, serving as home to elephants, leopard and buffalo. Further up are moorlands covered in giant heather, then alpine desert land. Higher still come the ice and snow that make Kilimanjaro famous. Hikes to the top (Uhuru Peak) take six to seven days.

Amazing bucket list vacation with an amazing company. We went on an 6 day safari with guide Chris. Saw every animal, stayed in great accommodations, ate wonderful food and had the time of our lives. Could not recommend Kilisa's safari more. Following our safari, we embarked upon a Kilimanjaro trek along the 7 day Lemosho route with guides Rama and Bacari and crew. Everyone was so FRIENDLY and catered to our every need (lots of needs at 15k+ feet). We successfully summited and don't think we would have without the Kilisa team looking after us. Unforgettable trip that really lifted our spirits after no traveling due to global pandemic. Everyone in Tanzania is kind, warm and welcoming. The team at Kilisa is no exception. Please consider Kilisa and guides Chris, Rama and Bacari on your safari and trek!

After friends had told us about their Kili trek we got hooked on the idea of our own trip to Tanzania to climb that famous mountain. The guide of the trek we had been told about also had taken the bold step to create his own company - Kili Land Adventures. So we decided to seize the opportunity and contacted Kili Land Adventures about our tour. Their planning efforts started immediately and we were presented with a tour plan (Lemosho route) that we felt was very sensible and tailored to our abilities. A packing list was provided and many more details via email. The trip itself was very much at stake during the Covid-19 times, but in the end we could travel to Tanzania using Qatar Airways. Our hike onto Mount Kili was an unforgettable experience. Our crew of guides, porters and one cook were the kindest and most supportive people imaginable. They cared for us very, very well; they judged our progress on the mountain and proposed favorable modifications to the tour plan to optimize our use of time and to ensure good progress on our way to the summit. In the end we had some "difficulties" only on the summit day (which was to be expected), but all the other days went very smoothly thanks to the crew's diligent planning of our acclimatization. And finally, we made it to the summit, all four of us, just as planned! It was difficult (I won't lie about that!), but in the end we felt safe and confident, throughout the summit day. The guides were very generous in answering all of our (many!) questions and patiently waited for us to take hundreds of photos. I have the highest respect for the people of our crew, be it the guides or the porters, these guys are some of the toughest persons on this planet. Let me add that after our Kili trip we also went on to some days of safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti). Our safari driver-guide was suggested and hired for us also by Kili Land Adventures (although the guide does not work directly for them). This guide was extremely motivated, kind, and knowledgable, and therefore the whole safari was absolutely on par with our unforgettable Kili trip. So if you consider traveling to Tanzania, do yourself a favor and contact Kili Land Adventures to work out a plan for you. You will be a happy customer ...

The trip to Kilimandjaro was very nice and well organized from the day we took the transfer from Moshi to Lemosho trail. In the first day the trip was very beautiful passing through the farmlands, forests until getting to the shira plateau. In other treks at Moir hut, Barranco, and Barafu camp. Though the way to Barafu had a little challenge unlike other days. The summit night was great with some long ascending hours and descending but it was generally the good experience. We could not make it well if not good cooperation from the Bayango Tours team since we arrived at the airport and transferred to the hotel. In the mountain I also enjoyed the bananas soup mixed with meat it was very nice especially during the cold times in the mountain. For safari also it was a great moment to see Tarangire park, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti park and the Hadzabe tribe. I liked the way little zebras were running, elephants and ostrich. I can generally recommend this tour as we enjoyed it with my friends.
5. 6 Days Marangu Route
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
It is known as the “Coca Cola route” – the Marangu route is one of the most popular routes leading to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Many hikers believe that the Marangu route is the easiest route to Uhuru peak, since it is the route which can be hiked in 5 days (making it a lower budget option). It is also the only route offering accommodation on the mountain, in the huts in each station. It is, unfortunately, a well-known fact, that the 5 days Marangu route has the lowest summit success rates of all the routes on the mountain. If you choose the Marangu route, we strongly recommend hiking for 6 days, to increase your chance to reach the summit successfully as more time on the mountain allows a greater chance for altitude acclimatization.

6. 8 Days Kilimanjaro Hiking Via Lemosho Route
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
The Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low crowds, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate. Most of clients climb Kilimanjaro using this route and they consistently report that they loved it. it approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west. The first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower. . Descent is made via the Mweka route. Burigi Chato Safaris® offers Lemosho as an 8 or 7 day climb. The seven day variation combines days five and six, going from Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp without staying at Karanga. A nine day variation that includes an overnight at Crater Camp is available as a private climb by special request.

We stayed at the serengeti for two nights and it was a very good experience. Couldn't see the big five as it was a huge area (14000 sq km) . We saw a pride of lion of 22 in a group with its cubs , a lot of Cape buffalos and also elephants but from a distance and not many. We couldn't see leopards . Rhinoceros have been kept in a special place in special place because of poachers etc so have to take special permit in advance to see them . We also saw a lot of wilder beest, zebras and impala , warthogs . We also did balloon safari through tanzania miracle experience and it was an amazing experience as it was our first time. The captain of our flight was Jason Addams and he had a great sense of humour and he explained everything so nicely . The landing of the balloon was also very smooth and the service they gave in breakfast after balloon ride was also great as all the staff were polite and respectful .
7. Kilimanjaro trek 8 days Lemosho route

The Lemosho Route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Not too long ago, there were only two main routes used to climb Kilimanjaro - the Marangu route and the Machame route. But as Tanzania's tourism industry flourished, the Kilimanjaro park authority created more trails to African's highest peak. Lemosho, a relatively new route, is preferred by reputable operators due to its beauty, remoteness and success rate. In short, it maximizes the chances that a climber will reach the summit, and enjoy the experience overall. The Lemosho route can be done in as little as six days on the mountain. However, it is ideally tackled over eight days for a better altitude acclimatization schedule. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rain forest. The route heads across the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles

I can hardly put into words how incredible our experience was with Masu, Aden and rest of the Top Climbers team. We were welcomed with open arms, felt like part of the family. The food was amazing, and varied special mention to Chef Daniel and Iddy our waiter. We bought lots of snacks and sweets to share with the crew which they were very grateful for, but trust me you don’t go hungry even if you don't bring your own with you. We chose to have a private toilet, which we didn’t at first think was necessary, but it is a lot nicer than venturing far away to the big toilets, and it also gives another porter a job. Our summit crew were Masu, Aden, Iddy, and Hashim. Each and every porter made a vast difference to our experience. Special mention to Elizabeth our only female porter! Safari with Chris was 4 days, 3 nights with mid range accommodation - an unforgettable experience. We got to know him very well and we made sure to include him in every conversation and every meal. He was so intelligent we could ask him anything and he knew what was happening in each national park. And we had a new safari vehicle compared to the rest at the parks. Coffee and Waterfall tour with our driver Oscar - a day trip that proved to be very interesting. We went to Hillborn Organic Coffee. We spent our time joking and getting to know our crews, they have so much love and honesty to give please be open with them you will enjoy your time so much more! There is a huge difference in the quality of booking with Top Climbers compared to the rest you will see along the way. Don’t forget cash to tip each person individually at the end and at the end of the hike you can give them any old gear. You will want to go above the recommended tip and give them the clothes off your back. Please, please, please book with Top Climbers you will have no regrets! And make sure to mention the names above for the BEST experience. Note we went in September 2019 not 2020
8. Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route 6 Days
The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and moderate. Only the approach to the summit is the exception as it is slightly more demanding. The accommodation on this tour is in simple mountain huts, which might be an advantage compared to the camping routes.
