Best Mountain Trip ever!

I have climbed so many mountains but Kilimanjaro trip was the best. We were a private group consisting of my wife, kids and i, and we felt incredibly safe and supported throughout the trek, especially on summit night. The twice-daily medical check-ins were reassuring, especially for my kids, who had never been on a high-altitude hike. Our lead guide, with extensive mountain medical training, kept everyone calm and comfortable. The way the guides made our kids feel special, accomplished, acknowledged them as young adults and bonded with them meant so much & definitely make this a wonderful experience they will remember forever. I highly recommend this travel operator. They know the mountain inside out, they will take care about you giving you the support where you need and will organize the journey with extreme attention to details.

Kili Northern Circuit

Very enjoyable trip, well organised, friendly staff and beautiful place. Made it to the top of Kilimanjaro for sunrise thanks to help of excellent guides. Food on trip was plentiful and tasty, porters worked very hard and were fast too. Thanks to all.

Once in a lifetime experience hiking through Kilimanjaro's Northern Circuit

The tour company did an amazing job organizing a 9-day tour of Kilimanjaro and a 3-day safari tour. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. The guides, cooks, and porters for both the safari and the trek were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Noel, the coordinator, was very responsive and attentive to all our needs. Everyone in our 5 person group was able to summit Kilimanjaro without any problems, and none of us got altitude sickness. The accommodations at Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel, our place of stay, were also excellent. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to ascend Kilimanjaro or have a fun time in Tanzania.

Absolutely Wonderful!!

This is absolutely the best company with which to summit Kilimanjaro. My wife and I just went in July. We contacted several companies before choosing this one to plan our trip, and we were glad we did. Noel was very, very helpful to communicate with by e-mail and phone. He listened closely to what we wanted, helped us make decisions based on his close knowledge of Tanzania, and responded patiently and promptly to my endless lists of questions...even helped me learn a few words of Swahili. The hiking was beautiful, challenging but not overwhelming. Everyone in our group was able to summit because of the guiding, leadership and support of all the team. The guides, assistant guides, chef, and porters are excellent. Very professional and helpful. We choose this operator because of its reputation for safety and success. The only way to see the real Tanzania is with this company. Their first priority is that you have the trip of your lifetime. They have a wonderful staff of friendly and helpful locals. The food is amazing. The guides are simply the best of the best. Regan and John are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly for Mount Kilimanjaro. We think the company offers some unique insights/experiences into the country because it is owned by Tanzanians. Although I don't know when my schedule will permit it, I am already looking forward to my next trip.
