Kilimanjaro Tours in Fall

A dream come true. Two fantastic weeks of pure adventure. Beautiful sights, nice accomodations, exotic animals everywhere, tasty food, bumpy roads, friendly people, nice weather, dusty scenery, a couple of flat tires, majestic trees, good transportation, experienced drivers, etc. Every day is a new beginning.

It’s beautiful. Trafalgar took great care of us. We had all the best accommodations. The food was great where we went. The guides were very informative. I’d highly recommend this trip with Trafalgar. Nobody does it better

This trip was a long time in the making and this company helped us to achieve this every step of the way. They seem to offer the most reasonably priced package when we searched around but when we finally got onto the trek, we realised just how good the value was for our money. We had a team of 15 locals from the Kilimanjaro Region with us, including two experienced guides, Nickson and Livingstone. With their help we, as inexperienced but reasonably fit hikers, were able to reach the summit. The team could not have been more supportive. In the long buildup, Naick was very patient and helpful in emails and whatsapp messaging, allowing us the time and knowledge that we needed to organise our trip. We got a thorough briefing and help preparing our trekking gear/clothes, at the hotel, on the night before the trek. Each evening we had a briefing about the following day, before getting a wake up call in the morning from our attentive host, Zakayo - who accompanied us to the summit on the final day and will make for a great future guide. We were treated to fresh ginger tea daily, as well as other hot drinks and soup to keep warm and big portioned meals/snacks for energy. The porters in the team have great strength and heart. After we had stocked our smaller bags with the day's essentials, they would pack up the camp, including our remaining larger bags and move the whole camp to our next location - overtaking us on the way! At this point, as others have mentioned, paying for a private toilet for your group/self, to have as part of your camps, is well worth the money from the start. Our guides were more than mere pace setters, pointing the way forward, they were knowledgeable about the local region, flora and fauna. They have vast experience of climbing Kilimanjaro from all the various routes. Also, importantly, they were very humble, friendly, supportive, just generally good humoured company, as well as making for decent photographers for our small group! The trek itself is manageable, as the guides will tell you, it is more of a mental test and taking things "pole pole" - slow and steady will get you to the top, while allowing you to enjoy the journey and some breathtaking views along the way! Finally to emphasise again, this is a locally based company with local employees. They provided our small group of three with a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I hope that spreading the word with this review, will go some way to repaying them for their hospitality and the fantastic memories which they have given to us.

Our Marangu route Kilimanjaro trek last week was incredible. We had the best service from the crew of experienced guides and porters. They were experienced on guiding travelers and knew what to do at all times. Trekking up Kilimanjaro is fun and enjoyable, despite the difficult sections close to the summit, however our crew led us through them. Service was top class, good waterproof tents, comfortable sleeping bags, good food and regular health checks. We had the best of everything! I highly recommend this local travel specialist for Kilimanjaro

I want to say a few words and pass my appreciation to the whole team for the just concluded Kilimanjaro trekking tour. I travelled in a party of five friends and all of us agree that the Kilimanjaro trek is unlike any other expedition we have ever embarked on. We had good guides, Mushi, Kimario and Musa. These guys are the reason we made it to their summit. They set a pace that seemed slow but very important to conserve energy for the later stages of the trip and summit attempt. Food was phenomenal, tents waterproof and comfortable, relations with the climbing team very good, attention to our health and well-being was first class and making the trek enjoyable. Important note: Do not go on the trek without the portable toilet. The public drop toilets are dirty!! We all made it to the summit and are now safely back home. Thank you all for your support!

This local travel specialist organized the perfect Kilimanjaro Adventure in Tanzania. The four of us had fun and enjoyed the hiking experience because Rongai is a beautiful route and the team of guides and porters was amazing. We were treated well by the crew, taking care of our needs (food, health and safety) and also encouraged us not to give up but push for the summit. We summitted successfully and owe it all to the excellent support from the agency.
