Kilimanjaro Tours in August 2027

My friend and I just finished a 7-day Lemosho route trek with this local travel specialist that ended in the successful summit of Kilimanjaro. I cannot praise the team enough and highly recommend them for any Kilimanjaro trek. From our pre-trek communications to our airport transfers and throughout our time on the trek, we were treated and cared for exceptionally well. This local travel specialist seemed to us to be a smaller tour operator. While this meant they didn’t have a fancy bus to drive us around, it also meant we didn’t get a “big tour” experience and received more attention and heart than what we expected, truly living out their mantra “One Team, One Dream.” It starts with our guides, Goodluck and Nickson. As the primary leaders of the expedition and the ones most directly responsible for our wellbeing, they were both exceptionally professional throughout. They were both concerned about our experience, maintaining an open dialog about daily expectations and about any questions that came up. On the health front, they measured our blood oxygen levels and pulse nightly, and we openly discussed our feelings and concerns to ensure we were all on the same page. Importantly, I felt they did a great job picking the right hiking paths and maintaining the right hiking pace for us. We felt this was critical to successful acclimatization, minimizing exhaustion, and ultimately to our successful summit. Lastly, they really encouraged us to enjoy the journey and not just the destination. They were very knowledgeable about the geology, ecology, and history of Kilimanjaro and they freely shared their knowledge. Having the right guides is essential and I feel like we got the best in Goodluck and Nickson. But our positive experience didn’t end with our guides. Incredibly we had 9 additional people (11 in total) supporting my friend and me on our adventure. And they were all wonderfully caring, too (“One Team, One Dream”). Our chef made wonderful, filling meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we had a waiter/water attendant, we had a person who attended our private toilet, and six additional porters who were incredibly hard working setting up, breaking down, and transporting our camp from site to site. To a man, they were exceptionally supportive, friendly, and fun-loving, and it was truly heartwarming to be surrounded by a wonderful group of people who all wanted to see us succeed. A great example: After we summited, my friend and I were struggling to come down the mountain due to exhaustion. Our guides messaged the base team, and six additional members met us 1/3 or 1/2 way up the mountain, carried our packs, and arm-in-arm helped us get back to base camp where they all congratulated us with hugs and high-fives. The Kilimanjaro trip was the fulfillment of a decades long dream, and the exceptional experience with this agency made it wonderful. I highly recommend them.

When we graduated my Beasties and I spent a considerable amount of time reviewing different companies, we found a lot of companies with greats reviews as we went through trip advisor and other sources to look for the best tour agency who will organize perfect trip for us but then we finally decided to go with this local operator. It was funny but really this was the right choice we made. The planning stage went very well with Naick the owner of the company being very responsive to all questions and clear emails on time and professionally. Then, we decided to go with 8 days Lemosho route & 5 days Safari Everything was great when we landed as they took care of everything and we didn't have to worry about transportation, Accommodations and Meals once in Tanzania And during the hike we were set up by amazing guides, porters and cook. team work of Mountain crews helped us success summit Kilimanjaro After a long climb we went to Safari 5 days at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro. Every experience was just incredible I must admit that this was great adventure for our life and all credit goes to the tour operator for Making all that possible I can't say well enough about this but If you're looking forward for Mt. Kilimanjaro Climbing or Go on a Safari, we're definitely coming back at some point.

Great experience with this tour operator. Organization was all perfect. Our head guide Filbert and his entire team were fantastic, they clearly knew what they were doing and that experience shone through the entire trek. Very professional, helpful, knowledgeable and competent.

The African Adventure tour was an adventure every day. The itinerary was well thought about and planned but some areas need adjusting and up-dated as part of quality assurance. The tour guides /drivers listened to us and they made every effort to meet your safari requests. The hotels were fantastic. Native styles and architectural designed. Every effort is made to make you feel welcomed, safe and secure. Everyone smiled and said "Jambo" (hello). The hotel chefs prepared 3 course meals and catered for your dietary needs. There was some entertainment too. The animals seen on safari were in their natural habitats whilst others were part of the Great Migration. The dirt road from Kenya to Tanzania was too much. This dirt road is dreadful and in poor condition. The plan was to get to border Immigration in a certain timeframe and then to our next destination. We needed to stop and have some refreshments which did not happen and we were left tired and unhappy. This was poor planning. On the last day of the Tanzania trip, there was some confusion about where the trip actually finished. This was again was poor planning and left us upset. Written and oral communication needs to improve to make African Adventure tours better.
