About Kibo Lantern Expeditions
Kibo Lantern Expeditions is a Moshi-based climbing team that focuses on the two western routes most first-time climbers ask about: Machame and Lemosho. The company was set up in 2014 by a pair of former assistant guides who wanted to run smaller, slower climbs with more time to acclimatise.
Every climb follows a seven- or eight-day plan, with an extra day available on request. Guides carry a pulse oximeter and record readings at breakfast and dinner, and each group travels with emergency bottled oxygen and a portable altitude chamber (PAC bag). Solo travellers can join a scheduled departure or book a private climb with their own guide.
Groups are capped at ten climbers, with a guide-to-climber ratio of one to two on summit night. Before you book, the team sends a written kit list, a day-by-day plan and a full breakdown of what the price covers, including park fees.
