Emmanuel

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!

Excellent experience. This was our second G tour and there is something about these trips that encourages a relaxed atmosphere and causes people to get comfortable with each other. We had many great conversations and lots of laughs. After a short time I knew I was with a group of people I could count on if I needed help.
