TRIP TO KILIMANJARO
I recently had a trip on 10th September, 2025 and was one of the most attractive and lovely trip I had ever since, because they are well-organized with well trained, punctual and knowledgeable tour guides. I booked a 4-day travel package to the coastal region through their office and from the beginning everything was handled professionally and friendly. The company arranged my transportation, accommodation and my all daily activities, making my trip more interesting and enjoyable. The journey began early in the morning, with a comfortable tour Bus that was neat, air-conditioned and well-maintained and serviced. Along the way the tour guide shared many interesting facts about the different places we went through, which made the long trip more enjoyable and unforgettable. When we arrived at our destination, the company had already reserved our hotel rooms and check-in was quick and easy. Each day of the trip had a well-planned travel plan. We visited popular tourist attractions, including historical sites, beaches, and local markets that were available there. One of the favorite moments was the visit to a marine park, where we took a boat ride and saw dolphins, shark, Star fish. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, he was making sure always everyone was comfortable and having a good time on the trip. The company also included group activities for example evening beach walks, cultural dances, and traditional dinners, which made experience even more memorable and unforgettable. I was really impressed by how organized everything was because transportation was always on time, meals were delicious and safety measures were strictly followed. What stood out most was the company’s attention to detail and care for their clients. They constantly checked in to ensure that we were satisfied and even provided assistance for anyone with special needs. To be honest I had a wonderful experience travelling with the travel team. Their excellent planning, friendly staff, and commitment to customer satisfaction made the trip unforgettable. I would definitely travel with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable tour experience.
Serengeti Kilimanjaro trip
In May, I took some days off work for vacation in Arusha, Tanzania with Habari adventures. Entry point was Kilimanjaro airport before a visit to Serengeti and Kilimanjaro summit. On our way to Serengeti/Kilimanjaro, the Habari guides felt like old friends. We shared a lot of stories, including local legends which I really enjoyed. I had a superb safari, with well organised tour guides. The journey was tiresome, but the team was always present and very supportive. Every tiresome safari (adventure) was compensated with delicious meals and snacks. Thank you Habari adventures for this wonderful experience. I will surely come back.
Kilimanjaro Summit with my daughter
Together with my daughter, I climbed Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route at the beginning of June 2025 – and what an unforgettable adventure it turned out to be! From the very first contact, the tour operators inspired confidence: excellent communication, clear information, and a warm welcome upon arrival. Our team of guides, porters, and cooks was exceptionally professional, friendly, and dedicated. They not only ensured our safety but also created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the entire climb. The route itself was breathtakingly beautiful. Every day brought new landscapes – from lush rainforest to alpine desert, and finally reaching the summit: a snow-covered Uhuru Peak. The guidance from our guides was invaluable; they constantly monitored our health and acclimatization and kept us motivated during the toughest moments. Thanks to their support, my daughter and I ultimately stood on the summit of Kilimanjaro – an emotional and proud moment that we will both cherish forever. The organization of meals, camp setup, and daily planning was impeccable. It’s incredible how much comfort the team was able to provide, even at high altitude. I wholeheartedly recommend these guys to anyone who wants to take on this special challenge. The combination of professional leadership and warm, personal attention makes all the difference. Thank you, team, for an experience that we – as father and daughter – will never forget!
Book with them for excellent Kilimanjaro experience
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.
Good time with good people 100%
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!
