Kilimanjaro Machame route Tours in March 2026

I would like to thank Stan and his very professional team. Our journey to the top of Kilimanjaro was a success also because Stan has given to us many useful suggestions in order to avoid many mistakes. I highly recommend this tour operator. From the very first minutes of contact with Stan, we met with great professionalism and enthusiasm. We chose Machame Route 6 days trekking. It was the best decision! Fantastic guides perfectly prepared us for the summit attack. Each day was like a separate adventure. We were informed daily about the next stage of the trek. They also watched over our health and created an excellent atmosphere, thanks to which these 6 days were the best adventure! We are full of admiration for the invaluable work of the porters and the cook. Our success on Kilimanjaro is due to the work of the entire team. Are you going to Kilimanjaro? I highly recommend this company. They also organized a 4 day safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongro and Tarangire Park. Each of the parks is completely different and each must be seen. Watching animals in their natural habitat is a wonderful feeling. A big organizational surprise and advantage were the daily delicious and varied lunches and dinners.

I climbed the Kilimanjaro with this tour company and it was an amazing experience! I did the Machame route in 6 days. Stan guided me from the very start to the end. Before we took off he sent me all of the necessary information and was available for additional questions. He's a very helpful and professional guide. As a solo female traveler I asked the company if it was possible to add me to another group and they managed to put me with 3 other hikers. They were really nice people and we had an amazing time together. Even though they were a lot faster, we were all encouraged to do the hike at our own pace and everybody respected that. The hike itself was truly beautiful although challenging at times. But Stan and his crew were always there to support me and make sure I could make it to the top. I have loads of respect for the guides, chefs and porters. They did an incredible job prepping everything to our needs: very nutritional and healthy food (thank you so much Thomas), personal waiter (Pio is such a sweetheart and would always bring us our morning tea in our tents), setting up our tents (everyone had their individual tent) and carrying everything up the mountain... It's truly incredible how they all do it. During the hike my mother was worried because I didn't give her any updates since I had no connection. Stan reassured her, sent her some photos and positive words. She truly appreciated it and shared it with the rest of my family. After the summit, I had trouble walking to the last camp but Jimmy, Leon, Amani, Hanfrey, Alan all showed up help me through those last kilometers. It's in those things that you can see they're all great professionals. The crew took such great care of all of us. I felt 100% safe with them. Tomorrow I'll start my safari trip with them. If I would ever do another trip in Tanzania I would definitely book with this company again. Thank you Stan and crew for the great care, trust and amazing experience. I wish you guys all the best! Asante sana!

I did Kilimanjaro Machame 7 days with my teenage son and husband, and I am still enchanted by the whole experience. I was happy and very impressed when we met the tour company team because they were so thorough and well prepared to host my family. Nothing was left to chance from checking and rechecking to make sure we had everything we required for the trek. No one should deceive you that the trek is easy, it takes good fitness, proper nourishment and a good team to beat the mountain. Luckily, we were paired with Evance and Leon his able assistant. Between them they have completed over 500 successful treks and know everything there is to know about Kilimanjaro. They kept a good pace that we did not struggle with. Both were good company and I rather enjoyed the stories narrated by Evance, he is hilarious and we didn’t seem to tire while we listened. The changing scenery made beautiful viewing leading to the snow cap at the summit. The three of us made it to the summit and I owe it all to the care and support from the company. I have absolute trust that they can get anybody to the summit. They did not spare or cut any corners with us. Food was plentiful and well prepared, equipment in tip top condition and an experienced crew that could handle any issue arising. Even in my future safari I’ll use this company. Asante sana!

Zara Tours did a perfect job of organizing our Kilimanjaro trekking trip. We took the Machame route and it took us six days to get us to the summit. We had an experienced support crew led by Senior guide Moses assisted by Issa. The tents were comfortable and the chef cooked nice food. Thank you for a very well organized trip.

Our guides (Peter and Daniel) amazing guides and very experienced. They checked our gear before the hike to ensure we had everything we needed. They monitored our heat rate and oxygen levels each night. They knew when we needed encouragement and went above and beyond to get all eight of us to the summit. The porters that carried our tents, food, etc were friendly and helpful. The local tour operator knows their stuff. We could not have done it without them. We highly recommend them if you are planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.

This tour was absolutely AMAZING with local tour company, if you're even considering doing it just take the plunge it's worth every penny! I can't say enough about our safari guide Faza and his Kili team & Our Safari Driver guide Hans. FOR SAFARI PART: Hans is an awesome animal seeker and spotter, well informative with a wealth of knowledge about everything in the National Parks. We cant say enough about Brian who organizes this trip from our first email, the choice of accommodation was breathtaking, we had our recommendations but he advised other cozier accommodations which we trusted and was the best. FOR KILIMANJARO PART: is more about the team led by Faza and his team of porters and chef they are story teller and the trip would not have been the same without them. I went into this excited for the physical adventure but I learned so much which was just icing on the cake making the trip that much better. These guys are amazing cooks (I wish they sold a guide cookbook, I ate way better on the trip than I do at home) and made sure each and everyone one of us was well taken care of. We had a group of 7 plus our two guides which was the perfect size and afforded us the ability to split up into two groups on the second day so part of the younger group could trek fast than the older ones. The hike in and out was not as bad as I expected just make sure you are well hydrated and eat plenty of snacks and drink enough water, which the guides make sure you do. All in all I can't recommend this trip enough! I am a professional travel advisor and will be recommending this trip to all of my clients. We are selective about the companies we work with, only partnering with the most reputable companies who will take care of our clients and have them coming back raving and wanting to do another trip. I am glad I was part of this trips
