Climbing Kilimanjaro is challenging, but with this tour operator it felt safe, well cared for, and truly enjoyable. I couldn't t recommend them enough to anyone planning this adventure!
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.
I was part of a group of 3 hikers wishing to climb Kilimanjaro via the Machame route in 7 days. The experience was great and landscapes so amazing. In fact it was the second time I climbed Kilimanjaro. I wanted to renew this experience because the first time the weather conditions was very cloudy the three first days and also I was not completely satisfied of the company I chose at that time.
As such, I selected Maasai Wanderings for the good reviews I had and also because it is part of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (you can have more details here: http://www.mountainexplorers.org/) that was a concern for me after my first experience. And what I can say is that I have not been disappointed, everything was perfect from the beginning to the end.
We were guided by Julius and his team that I recommend. He is a very nice guy, likable, always calm, encouraging you and giving all information required when you need it. He is adapting to you, and most of the time the first days, slowing you down to maximize a progressive acclimatization. I was interested by flowers and history of Kilimanjaro (snow cover, geology) and this guy is a big library.
Food was very good, varied and always in good quantity. It is surprising to see what the cooker is able to do in such conditions. There was a big mess tent where all meals were taken when it was not possible outside. The cooker is cooking just in front of you. The tent had also two extension rooms on each sides dedicated for staff (relaxing/sleeping). It was funny to see that despite of the altitude, the coldness etc. they were always happy, smiling, talking all time etc.
Everybody was dressed properly and adapted to the mountain conditions, even for the shoes. This is important to note because I have been very sad when I saw few other porters from other companies dressed just with a tee-shirt with holes everywhere or not descent shoes. When we reached the last camp (Barafu Hut) at around 13:00, one of the porter was sick and Julius, the guide, decided to escort him down to the gate quickly. He was back to Barafu Camp few hours before we left the camp to climb the final step and came with us! Everybody in the team successfully reached the top Uhuru Peak and of course everybody was very happy. Once again it has been an excellent trip and experience. I keep a lot of good memories.
For these reasons I recommend clearly Maasi Wanderings, for the quality of the guiding, the food, the tents, the team, all the equipments provided (and in good shape).
As a local tour agency, they coordinated our Kilimanjaro day trips and safari itineraries with precision. If you’re planning a trip to Tanzania’s national parks, this team delivers quality and value
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.
We made a tracking to the Kilimanjaro summit in January 2024. It was the best experience ever! Super professional company, best guides, porters, etc.
Great, very warm service and food. Lead guide Stanford, second guide Osward, and all the team, you are the best. Thank you!
I always dreamed of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and the team has been a great partner in fulfilling this dream. I chose the Machame Route because it's a little more challenging but offers a lot of beautiful scenery. The sunsets of Shira and walking through the mist of the Barranco Wall - all in one word, it was a wonderful experience. Guides and porters were always on hand; they handled everything from the pitch of the tent to the cooking of the food perfectly. I'm grateful to this team.
Certainly, the best agency to take you on this great adventure on the top of Kilimanjaro! The guides and staff were really professional, answering all the questions and constantly paying attention to your needs, so that you just have to focus on the summit 🏔️
Thanks to the team again, we all made it to the top and had a lot of good time with our group and the entire crew.
I would definitely recommend anyone to take this agency!

Embark on a 4-day Mount Meru climbing expedition in Tanzania, ascending one of Africa’s most beautiful volcanic mountains, rising to 4,566 meters above sea level. Less crowded than Kilimanjaro yet more technical in places, Mount Meru offers a rewarding challenge for adventurous trekkers.
The ascent is steep and varied, crossing streams and passing through open parkland, dense mountain forest, and high-altitude moorland before reaching a rugged volcanic landscape. The route demands more technical effort than most Kilimanjaro routes, making it an excellent climb for those seeking a tougher mountain experience.
Mount Meru is also unique for its wildlife encounters, with chances to spot giraffes, buffalo, antelope, and other animals along the lower slopes. The final ascent follows a narrow, exposed ridge to the summit, delivering dramatic views down into the ash cone far below and across to Mount Kilimanjaro rising in the distance.
Embark on a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route, often known as the “Coca-Cola Route.” This is the only route offering overnight stays in mountain huts equipped with solar-powered lighting and is used by nearly half of all Kilimanjaro climbers.
The trek offers beautiful scenery, with each day passing through a different climate zone, from lush rainforest to alpine landscapes. The standout moment is summit day, when you walk from Gillman’s Point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing impressive glaciers and ice cliffs along the way.
On clear mornings, the views are exceptional, stretching across the Rift Valley, Mount Meru, and the Maasai Steppe. Join this classic route for a memorable ascent to Africa’s highest mountain.
