"CK is the best company on the mountain hands down "

Climbing Kilimanjaro made this experience the trip of a lifetime. I will never forget all the people who helped us from the drivers to the check-in staff to the chefs, porters, waiters and guides. Everyone was so genuinely friendly, cared about our journey and checked in on how we were feeling. I would recommend them to my closest family and friends as I truly believe they are the best guide company on the mountain. Their customer service and concern about our safety are unmatched. CK oy oy!!!!!

"Absolutely fantastic from the very…"

Absolutely fantastic from the very beginning of our arrival to the completion of our trip. There are a lot of Trekking Companies for climbing Kilimanjaro and it was obvious from the get-go that we picked the best one! The guides, cooks and porters were all fantastic. Kudos to the Cooks for their fantastic meals! I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro as the only company to employ for your summit!

"Exhausting and exhilarating trip of a lifetime: Summiting Kilimanjaro and Tanzanian Photo Safari with Climbing Kilimanjaro Team"

I am thrilled to highly recommend the Climbing Kilimanjaro team as THE trekking tour group for summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro and going on safari in Tanzania. Our two-part adventure was incredible from start to finish.
Five friends from Northern California (ages 68-77) — along with three much younger trekkers — followed the Machame route from January 3rd to 9th, 2025. The entire CK team of four guides, two chefs and 29 porters was fantastic. Safety was their first priority, and we felt very secure, confident, and well informed thanks to their briefings and updates. Blood oxygen level and pulse were recorded both morning and evening, and we completed a survey indicating our “state of being” (are we feeling any symptoms of altitude sickness such as nausea, headache, lack of appetite, etc.). Our guides reminded us to walk “pole, pole” from our first step in the jungle and through each stage so that we would acclimate to the increasing elevation and successfully reach our summit goal.
A huge shout out to our exceptional guides: lead-guide Frank, Lameck, Janet and Mwana, who were incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout. And it was an added bonus that they were also fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the five climate zones we experienced during the trek. Our two chefs kept us well fed with a fine balance of tasty proteins, carbs, soups and veggies. And enough can’t be said about the hard-working porters who made each new camp a welcome sight after a day of hiking and climbing. Their skill at navigating the trails while carrying 35+ pounds of gear was astounding. They can also sing and dance! And Brian, our US contact, was really patient and prompt answering our many pre-trek questions.
After our summit adventure, two of us went on a tailor-made, 6-day photo safari through four Tanzanian parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara. Our Tanzanian guide, Brycen, found every possible animal we were looking for — even the elusive cheetah with young ones, and he patiently and with great humor indulged two photographers wanting “just one more shot”. He added to our safari by sharing his vast knowledge of the animals and history. The Masai village visit is not to be missed.
Finally, the accommodations for pre- and post-summit and on the safari were outstanding, providing wonderful food and comfortable rooms, which were sorely needed after long flights, the 7-day trek, and after working hard to capture iconic wildlife shots! Watching “bush TV” in our open-air dining tent was very cool.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is the way to go in Tanzania for the adventure of a lifetime. The members of the team all rock stars. The website is super and offers all the information one might require. Not only is C-K is environmentally conscious, but the Tanzanian-based tour group supports the local Tanzanian people and economy.

"Phenomenal Experience!"

Phenomenal, once in a lifetime experience! Our guides Salim, Moshori and Mary were absolutely amazing, their strength and knowledge was very reassuring. I cannot overstate how happy I was with the climbing experience and the 1 day safari afterwards. Highly Recommend!!

"Amazing experience and Climbing…"

Amazing experience and Climbing Kilimanjaro were absolutely amazing. The team were phenomenal. They looked after us so well, really made sure kit was up to scratch, kept an eye on us, kept us fully updated each day and motivated, food was great and genuinely couldn't have done it without the team.... Oh and Solomon the head guide, what a guy. Always looking out for everyone ❤️

"Amazing Experience"

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Climbing Kilimanjaro on the Lemosho Route in January! From start to finish, their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made the entire journey seamless and unforgettable. The guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, encouraging, and always prioritizing safety while keeping spirits high. The porters were amazing, ensuring we were well-fed, comfortable, and motivated every step of the way.

Reaching the summit was a life-changing moment, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help make it happen. If you’re considering Kilimanjaro, Climbing Kilimanjaro is the way to go—highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The excellence of the company Climbing Kilimanjaro."

My daughter found the co Climbing Kilimanjaro when she first thought about climbing kilmanjaro on her own. Both of us ended up going (Mum (59) & Daughter (28)) and we couldn't have been happier with the professionalism that this company offered throughout our 8 day Lemosho route trek. For 8 of us trekkers we had 4 seasoned (highly experienced) guides and around 30 porters looking after our every need. Two porter loos were carried up and down the mountain for our personal use (greatly appreciated) along with all water, food (2 chefs), tents and all the kit required for an 8 day trek. Everyone of the whole team did their utmost to make our experience as comfortable and as happy as possible and are totally responsible for getting us to the summit and then back down. The most genuine crew. The trip ran smoothly from the point of arrival in Kilimanjaro to our departure 9 days later.

If you are contemplating climbing Kilimanjaro, you could not find a better company to go with. The attention to detail was amazing from our own kit checks through to the kit we hired. Thank you so much Climbing Kilimanjaro, we loved the whole adventure.

"Professional, detail oriented and affordable "

I can only speak very highly of the people who made it possible for a family of four (age range 12 a 51) to fulfill a dream. Everyone - staff, guides, porters, cooks was incredibly professional, with great attention to detail. I always thought that I couldn’t afford a trip like this. It turned out that this is not the case. I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro company for your next adventure.

"Excellent mountaineering company "

I’ve had a goal to summit Mount Kilimanjaro for years and was able to make that dream a reality at the end of December with a New Year’s Day summit with Climbing Kilimanjaro. The lead guide, Jonas, was professional and attentive to the team’s needs along the journey. The chefs and porters were amazing as well. It was such a great group of people supporting our journey up the mountain and I couldn’t have done it without Jonas and the team. I would highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro as a guiding company, and a great one to go with to support a Tanzanian owned climbing company.

"Unforgettable experience "

This was an unforgettable experience with an amazing team. The support that I received helped to succeed in trekking all the way to the top. Thanks to all the CK staff!
