7 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking - Machame Route

“it's been a month since we completed our trek up Kilimanjaro and I still can't find the words to capture the incredible experience we had, and it truly all boiled down to the Enosa group. Each and every member of our 14 person team was invaluable. Our group had people of different physical fitness, different comfort levels when it came to camping, to dietary restrictions. Our guides (ask for Willie and Eric) went above and beyond, to helping us tie our shoes, making sure we ate, carrying our daypacks when we were ascending, to literally helping pour water in our mouths when we were too tired to drink ourselves. The porters always had a smile and words of encouragement, and after a long day of hiking, they brought a smile to our faces each day, they were our hype squad, day in and out. I don't think we would have had such a memorable, pleasant or successful experience if it wasn't for us choosing Enosa.”

“Excellent”

“The staff during the hiking were amazing. They were very helpful and the food was amazing! Overall a great trip and unforgettable memorize. I signed up for a 7 days trek but ended up doing it in 6 days. I felt that one of the tour guides wanted to get home early and pushed us a little faster. We had a few in our group doing 6 days and some 7 days, so we were suppose to split during the trek but all ended up doing 6 days. I ended up pretty sick and threw up the whole way up on the summit day. Wish I would have done it in 7 days, due to my reactions to high altitude. Everyone else in my group was ok, minor sickness. Communication prior to the trek was very limited, had to email several time to get questions answered. Wish there was more information sent prior to leaving on what to expect. Please be aware that there was an expected tip around $250-300+ dollars per person after (for 6 days trek and 6 people in the group). I wish the whole tipping process would have been explained better prior so we could have prepared better and knew what to expect. But as mentioned prior, overall a good experience and I would recommend the company.”

“My 7 day climb of the Kilimanjaro with Enosa Expeditions was a great experience!

I booked my climb with Enosa via an international intermediary which worked well for a very decent price.

Together with an another European we formed a group of two climbers, supported by a total of 11 support staff: 2 guides, 1 cook, 1 waiter/porter and 7 porters.

All of them worked with their heart. Their loyalty to you is incredible in allowing you to reach the top. Also the porters worked incredibly hard. Guidance was very professional, while the cooking was magical in what we received every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Through all sorts of ways, the guides follow your physical (and mental) condition closely which gives a good feeling. If necessary, they have various measures they can initiate. I received a packing list from Enosa after booking and had a breefing and gear check with the guide one day before the start. What I forgot to bring I could borrow from Enosa.

Perhaps only thing for improvement is regarding tipping. There is much being said online about how much to tip. Numbers can vary greatly online. Much is also dependent on group and staff size. Enosa, but other operators as well, might help in providing clarity on this so you can better prepare this before getting to Tanzania. It is not so easy to lay your hand on large amounts of dollars in the country itself. Enosa allowed for paying tip with Creditcard which helped!

I will definitely advise booking with Enosa anytime! I want to thank the whole team as well as Noel Ernest for making this never to forget!”
