A Wonderful Trekking Experience Thank you, Moses and your team, at for an incredible experience on Kilimanjaro and in Tanzania in general because we had an extra day after the trek where we went to Kikuletwa Hot Springs.
The trek was well organized and supported by a great team of guides, porters and cook. We use the Rongai trail to climb the mountain which was very scenic and better sheltered from the elements. The weather was excellent which made the trek lovely as we could enjoy great views and it was fun climbing. The crew were led by guide Juma who is very experienced, caring and so professional. He was in charge of the whole group and a great leader. We had regular health checks, excellent food and the sleeping tents comfortable. The crew was friendly and treated us well. There were many things that they did to make the trek easy and comfortable. We even had hot water to for sponge baths and a portable toilet with us.
I highly recommend Kili Team Adventures as premier Kilimanjaro Trekking company. Also they treat their employees very well.

Incredible Adventure with a Perfect Balance of Trekking and Wildlife! I can’t say enough about my experience on the Combo Kilimanjaro and 4-Day Safari trip. From the moment I signed up with Tanzania Trip Service, everything exceeded my expectations. Andrew, the owner, was very involved and ensured every detail was taken care of. You could really feel his passion for the experience, and it made all the difference.

The Kilimanjaro climb was tough but so rewarding. The guides were professional and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone was safe while still pushing us to reach the summit. I’ve never felt so proud as I did when I stood on top of that mountain.

The safari part was the highlight. The guides knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife sightings. I felt like I was living inside a nature documentary. We saw the Big Five and so much more—it was truly magical. Staying in the safari lodges was also a treat, with stunning views and amazing food.

The entire trip felt smooth. Andrew and his team at Tanzania Trip Service handled all the details, so I never had to worry about logistics. If you’re considering this combo tour, I highly recommend it. It was the perfect mix of adventure, challenge, and relaxation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Our climbing experience showed us that teamwork truly makes dreams possible. We just finished our adventure in Mountain Kilimanjaro. The journey was both physical and emotional, testing patience, strength, and focus. We will never forget the sound of our boots crunching on frozen ground before dawn, or the way the sun slowly illuminated the clouds below us. Guide was very helpful and The porters were heroes, carrying heavy loads with endless smiles. Appreciate the Hanta Expedition team, and they were really best as a Moshi's local operator.

7 days climbing experience via Machame Route. Our journey is based on long-term planning and the desire to achieve it. Climbing Kilimanjaro with Waterbuck Expedition was more than just an adventure and a journey of self-discovery. From lush rainforests to snowy peaks, every step challenged our patience and determination. In the early morning, laughter around the campfire and the encouragement of our guides kept us going. When we reached Uhuru Peak, we hugged and cried, proving that even the highest mountains can be conquered with friendship and teamwork. The journey was very emotional for us. We highly recommend Mount Kilimanjaro.

Once in a Lifetime Kilimanjaro Experience Absolutely unforgettable experience with Jerry Hunter! From start to summit, everything was smooth, fun, and super safe. Jerry is not just a guide – he’s a vibe! Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Kilimanjaro with good energy and great organization

Memorable 8-Day Lemosho Route Climb with Tanzania Trip Service My boyfriend and I just completed a wonderful 8-day trek on the Lemosho route up Mount Kilimanjaro with Tanzania Trip Service it was such an unforgettable experience!!! The trip was well organized from the very beginning, and we felt that we were well taken care of every step of the way.

Professional and Easy Service from Tanzania Trip Service:
The team of people working with Tanzania Trip Service made the entire trip simple and smooth. From booking & arranging to airport transfers, gear advice, and obviously the climb—all went very smoothly and they assisted us every step of the way. Communication was clear and prompt, and they made sure every step of the way the logistics were handled so we could concentrate on our trek.

The Lemosho Route:
We chose Lemosho for its beautiful scenery and great acclimatization schedule, and are so glad we did. The Lemosho route has such a variety of different terrain—lush forest, alpine meadow, and bare volcanic rock. Tanzania Trip Services made sure that our trek was a beautiful journey while also making sure we were happy, comfortable, and prepared every day.

Fantastic Kiliamanjaro Trip ! I just returned from an unforgettable 7-day climb up Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, and what an incredible experience it was! All four of us made it to the summit safely and without any issues. I’d love to say it was all because we were super fit and perfectly prepared, but the real heroes of this journey were the amazing Nafika Tours team who made everything feel so easy and well-organized.
We were guided and supported by 16 extraordinary people, our wonderful guides, strong porters, and a talented cook, each of them dedicated, kind, and unbelievably hardworking. Our guides were exceptional: knowledgeable, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and encouraged every step of the way.
The porters were simply incredible. They carried so much with such strength and care, all while greeting us with the warmest smiles and ensuring everything ran like clockwork. Their teamwork, organization, and kindness left me deeply impressed and truly grateful.
It’s clear that everyone at Nafika Tours genuinely cares about giving climbers the best experience possible. I can’t recommend them enough if you’re dreaming of your own Kilimanjaro adventure.
So, if you have ever thought about it go climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s an experience you’ll treasure forever!

Incredible Safari My Visit to Mount Kilimanjaro – A Journey Above the Clouds
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not just a trek — it’s a life experience. Africa’s highest peak, standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 ft), is both beautiful and brutal. My visit was unforgettable, filled with breathtaking views, physical challenges, and moments of pure awesome

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari – A Trip Beyond Comparison! I recently went on a 5-day safari with Tanzania Trip Service and I can say that it is undoubtfully among the top travel experiences of my life. Everything from the shower facilities to the exotic safari was carefully planned, resulting in the ultimate combination of timeless travel and pure excitement. A pure joy to reminisce!

He was well educated, older, and full of zeal when it came to animals and the protection of the ecosystem. It was his fantastic ability to distinguish animals that I and the rest of the safari group would otherwise ignore such as elusive birds and top-leopard cats! As a bonus, we got time with one of the best safari guides from as far as the Serengeti. The guide was a deep lover of nature and thus whole heartedly worked to keep the ecosystem safe. It made the whole safari 10 times better.
The Guide had carefully selected rest stops in different parks such as the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and the Tarangire. It was really a one of a kind experience. It was really a one of a kind experience. Unlike the bustling nature of the rest stops in the areas around trees, we had the ability to see the infinite stars. Our tent was placed so perfectly that we could listen to nature and the magic of the Serengeti. We could and drift into a deep slumber.

The safari vehicle was comfortable, well kept, and had perfect with stock of sufficient water and light snacks. Each day was well spaced with sufficient time for game drives, photography, and more relaxed activities. We spotted all of the Big Five and a lot more, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and a cheetah hunting.

Tanzania Trip Service offered us much more than what we expected.

Beautiful and humbling. An experience of a lifetime. As a birthday trip I done the trek solo through Kilimanjaro heroes adventures. They were amazing. I have been talking with the tour operater for months beforehand who kept me updated at regular intervals, answering all questions and assuring me of the process.

The team I had were otherworldy. Their dedication to my experience, comfort and happiness was beautiful. Shout out to every one of you - Dickson, Babol, Muja, David, Dennis, Junior and Angel. Beautiful, beautiful people. They were friendly, caring, joyous and hardworking. They went above and beyond for me. I will remember you guys forever.

It was the most intense, vulnerable and humbling experience I have ever had. It was truly beautiful and thank you to Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures for facilitating this journey for me.

Peace and love forever. I will tell the world of your greatness.

Kilimanjaro - Machame Route Great experience with the team of Weltweitwandern. They made the adventure absolutely unforgettable, did everything possible to make us feel comfortable and very well cared for. We chose the Machame Route and reached the summet in six days. Our guides made sure to find a pace that enabled all of us to get to the top safely and without any difficulties. It's a very varied route with the climbers passing different kinds of vegetation zones. The daily elevation gain worked very well for us including some additional acclimatisation hikes. Before Kili, we had done Mount Meru which I would recommend to everyone who has maybe concerns about the altitude and altitude sickness. When climbing Mount Meru you spend a couple of days between 3.500 m and 4.500 m so the acclimatisation has already kicked in.

Much more difficult than I imagined This was the hardest thing I have ever done. Prior to completing the route, as part of a group of 15 people (12 of who made the summit) and who ranged in age from 22 to 66 (me!). Not mentioned in most reviews were the tiredness, howling winds, dust getting everywhere, and issues sleeping on a sloping mountain. Our guides were great (see separate review), but please don’t expect this to be an easy experience. It wasn’t for any of us. But there was an enormous sense of achievement in completing it and I am truly glad to have done it

Bonding on Africa’s highest peak This was a trip we had planned for a few years but never got around to executing; we still didn’t get everybody on the trip but four of us made. Our guides were wonderful, answered all our questions. I stopped at the 4km mark, two reached the Mandara huts camp and we agreed not to tell the story of the 4th person. One of the blue monkeys “jumped” us in the truck and made off with some bananas.

An Amazing Mount Kilimanjaro Hiking Adventure. This hike will test you physically but reaching the summit is worth it. My son and I experienced the most amazing adventure this summer by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro reaching the summit on July 1, 2025. The trip was booked through Gerling Travel locally out of Fl. They in turn used Kilimanjaro Adventures and Safari Club.
Our trekking guides Juliud and Faza were great. They ensured that we reached the summit without any issues. Our chef was absolutely amazing. He prepared fresh gourmet meals 3xs a day with limited cooking facilities.
I can't say enough about the porters who carried our gear along with all the supplies needed for the climb. These guys worked so hard to ensure our comfort.
I highly recommend using Kilimanjaro Adventures/ Gerling Travel if you are considering this once in a lifetime adventure.

Amazing Kiliamanjaro Experience Absolutely unbelievable! We hiked the Lemosho route and all four of us made it to the top of Kilimanjaro. We were supported by an amazing team from Nafika Tours: two wonderful guides, a talented chef, and 13 hardworking porters.
The effort and dedication these guys put in is simply incredible. Our lead guide, Inocent, was calm, experienced, and full of knowledge. He always made sure we were okay, checking on our health twice a day as we climbed. His assistant, Diclan, was not just a guide he shared fascinating facts about the plants and rocks around us, making the journey even more special.
And the food? Absolutely amazing! I still can’t believe the chef made delicious Pizza at a temporary lunch spot 4,600 meters up in the mountains. Every day we had three hearty, varied meals with three courses each. It felt like a luxury in the middle of the wild!
I will definitely return to Tanzania for a safari one day. If you’re thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro, book with Nafika Tours and you won’t regret it.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Climb with Zuhura Tours I had an incredible experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Zuhura Tours in August 2024. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and enjoyable. My guide, Emma, was exceptional – knowledgeable, supportive, and always encouraging, which made the entire trek even more special.

The trip was challenging but absolutely worth it, and I truly enjoyed every moment of the adventure. The scenery was breathtaking, and the sense of achievement at the summit was unforgettable. I highly recommend Zuhura Tours for anyone looking for a reliable and memorable Kilimanjaro experience.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Adventure with Kili Team Adventures. I did the 7 day Machame route on Kilimanjaro with Kili Team Adventures, and our guide Amir was amazing he guided us at just the right pace, always encouraging us with “pole pole” to help with the altitude. Rahim, our cook, served up hearty, tasty meals every day soups, stews, rice, pasta, fruit exactly what we needed for energy. And Aman, our waiter, was so kind and warm he made each mealtime feel cozy and cared for. With Amir, Rahim, Aman, and the Kili Team Adventures crew, the climb felt safe, well‑organized, and full of local kindness that made it truly special.

I WISH I BROUGHT EARPHONES ON THE SUMMIT CLIMB I WISH I BROUGHT EARPHONES ON THE SUMMIT CLIMB - so boring for the 5 hours from Kibo hut to Guillmans point, its cold the wind is blowing and nobody is speaking; plus the might just keep you awake enough not to sleep walk (its an oxygen thing not tiredness)
If youre fit and your group reaches the camps relatively quickly its going to get boring so bring a book, tablet or download some things on your phone so you have something to do. Id say 4-5 people for one portable toilet so if there is more of you just get one more

Solo Adventure, Rongai Route Solo Adventure -May 2025 • Rongai Route (7 days) and Mini Safari
In May, I took some days off work and went on a solo trip to Tanzania with Habari adventures. I took the northern Rongai route followed by a short wild safari. On the mountain trek, the Habari guides felt like old friends. We shared a lot of stories, including local Chagga legends which I really enjoyed. I enjoyed their meals after long days of climbing. The summit night was brutal, but the Habari team was always present and very supportive. I never felt alone despite being the only solo climber in the group. Thank you Habari adventures for this wonderful experience. I will surely come back.

Kilimanjaro - what a challenge! That mountain was not a joke. We are experienced hikers but that hike was something thate have not yet done before. All went well thanks to the excellent information that we received and also thanks to the wonderful team that we had. The last 2 days it was raining or better to say pouring and it turned into snow at night. We did not expect that cold wind but we had good gear that we rented on arrival. We booked with Tanzania Horizon Safaris and they did a great job . we highly recommend them

The porters and guides are the true heroes on this mountain Hiking Kilimanjaro has been on my to-do list for a while and finally i got to tick that box. We found Tanzania Horizon Safaris online, a local tour operator that had a lot of great reviews and high summiting success and we decided to settle with them. We met our team before the hike and planned for what was ahead together. Coleman was our main guide and the morale of the group made me want to start the trip right away. The next day wasn't too far anyway and we needed to rest before the big day. Our hike started early in the morning. I was amazed at how much luggage the potters carried and hiked very effortlessly. The hike wasn't a walk in the park but through the guidance of Coleman and the help of the team plus the delicious warm meals from our chef we made it to the summit! A beautiful bright morning it was. The sunrise from the peak felt like heaven.I am glad i chose this team and cant wait for my next adventures with tanzania Horizon safaris.
