Tanzania Private Tours and Trips

We recently returned to Germany after an unforgettable trekking adventure in Tanzania with Kilisa Tours & Safaris, and we highly recommend them to anyone searching for a professional and reliable Kilimanjaro trekking company in Tanzania. Our journey included the 7-Day Machame Route on Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a 3-Day Oldonyo Lengai trekking experience, and every detail was exceptionally well organized from arrival to departure. If you are looking for the best Tanzania tour operator for Mount Kilimanjaro climbing, trekking tours, or adventure travel in Tanzania, Kilisa Tours & Safaris delivers outstanding service, experienced guides, and excellent trip coordination. The entire Kilimanjaro climbing experience was smooth and professionally managed. The mountain meals were fresh, nutritious, and well-prepared throughout the trek, even at high altitude. The camping equipment was clean, comfortable, and high quality, making the Machame Route trekking experience more enjoyable and comfortable. The mountain crew, guides, cooks, and porters were highly experienced, supportive, and always focused on safety, motivation, and summit success. Their professionalism and encouragement played a major role in helping us successfully reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro with confidence. The hotel accommodations arranged before and after the Kilimanjaro trek were also excellent, providing comfort and relaxation before starting the climb and after descending from the mountain. For anyone planning a Mount Kilimanjaro trek via the Machame Route, a Tanzania trekking safari, or an adventurous hike to Oldonyo Lengai, we strongly recommend Kilisa Tours & Safaris. They are a trusted Tanzania trekking company offering professional Kilimanjaro climbing tours, experienced mountain crews, and exceptional customer service from start to finish.

We chose this tour operator for our safari, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. The service was outstanding, and our guide was simply fantastic — incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and an amazing spotter. He made every game drive exciting and memorable. What we appreciated most was how flexible and attentive the team was. We planned the itinerary together, and every special request we had was taken seriously and accommodated whenever possible. Thank you so much for turning our dream safari into an experience that far exceeded all our expectations. We’ll never forget it and we’re already dreaming of our next trip with you!

In late November 2025, four friends and I from India did the Marangu Route with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was a great experience every step of the way. In the weeks leading up to our climb, we exchanged many emails with the Aardvark Expeditions sales staff. Their quick responses and thorough explanations were what persuaded us to book with them. While climbing, our guide (Gabriel and Fred) were extremely professional. They adapted their pace to ours, provided encouraging words and advice to help us acclimatise, and made sure we were safe at all times. The food that Erik and Abuu prepared was another highlight. The meals were fresh, filling and served to us with a smile. Aardvark Expeditions made our first Kili attempt feel possible, secure and fun. Highly recommended!

A group of 4 climbers from India, along with 3 friends from the UK, completed an arduous climb via the 7-day Machame Route with Aardvark Expeditions, and they exceeded our every expectation along the way. The first impression we had of Aardvark Expeditions (Philemon Joel) was one of speed in responding to our requests, providing clear directions, and making truthful declarations about what to expect when we booked. Booking our climb was made easy due to the assistance provided by the sales team. During the actual climb, the guiding team of Bariki and Jonathan performed exceptionally well. They were vigilant in their monitoring of climbers, supported us when altitude sickness hit, and continuously provided motivation throughout our trek on the mountain. The summit day was incredibly emotional, and all Aardvark Expeditions staff were there at the summit to celebrate with us for achieving our goal. This is a company that genuinely cares about every person who climbs for them. A five-star rating does not do enough justice for the value provided by the staff at Aardvark Expeditions.

Our 6-day journey on the Marangu Route was handled by Aardvark Expeditions, and we couldn't have asked for better service! As a group of only five people from India, we received excellent personal service and attention from every member of the team. Our guides (Bariki and John) were very supportive, knowledgeable and patient, while the chefs (Erik and Abuu) created tasty meals that energised us every day for the long trek ahead. We were referred to Aardvark Expeditions by several friends, and now we understand why! The sales team is very prompt and friendly, and offers excellent service. The whole experience from booking to reaching the summit was flawless!

I did a 7-day Kilimanjaro trek via the Rongai Route in December and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The landscapes along the Rongai Route were breathtaking, with beautiful and constantly changing scenery at every camp. It was one of the most memorable holidays I’ve ever had. It was less crowded so it felt like absolutely exclusive. The crew was outstanding: Bakari the mountain guide, Mojo created amazing food Mama Africa, and a hardworking, friendly team of porters who supported me all the way to the summit. Thanks to them, I successfully reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and fulfilled a lifelong dream. Highly recommended!
