"Fantastic trip 10/10 service! "

A friend recommended this company and I can also highly recommend, I had a fantastic group and trip, we all reached the top!
Shadya head guid and her team were fantastic!
For me when researching the various company’s these are some of the stand outs which led me to book with CK..
*TOILETS!!! Being female it was an important to me that this company provided their own portable clean toilets at each camp.
* Price - I felt it was very competitively priced, not the cheapest but mid/lower range which I felt comfortable.
* group size not to large a group we had 7.
* Airport pick up / drop off and hotel the night before and after all arranged by the company and included in the price made the trip very relaxing. They were also able to hold some of our bags at the hotel as we done a 3 day safari before.
* Food was better than expected considering hiking up a mountain. Fresh fruit & veg, cooked breakfast daily, hot lunches and dinners. They feed you up so no need to worry about going hungry but extra snacks for hiking recomended.
* equipment - tents were good quality ours slept 2, and they provide roll out thick foam sleeping mats.
*choice of night or day summit, routes, and number of days to chose from when booking. I chose 8 day Lemosho - highly recommend, plenty of time to acclimatise along the way.
Thanks again great team and service!

"Simply outstanding "

Having done a fair bit of research before choosing CK as the company I wanted to climb with, I found the communication was excellent throughout the whole experience - from the booking process right through to the end journey back to the airport.
Our Head Guide was Omar who was ably assisted by Jackie, Abdi, Dixon and David. These guys were simply outstanding - throughout the 8 day climb they supported us, motivated us, took our health and safety very seriously and were a huge credit to CK. These guys were on the frontline so to speak but the large back up team of Porters, Chefs were simply amazing. They have my utmost respect and admiration for the way they carry out their daily tasks - and always with a smile on their faces.
I must pass on special thanks to Fisor who carried my backpack most of the way on Summit night - without his help I may not have made it as it was seriously tough.
And a special mention to my own porter Lonad who not only carried my holdall from camp to camp but who also came out to meet me a Kilometre or so from the overnight camp to take my backpack from me. He also practically carried me into camp after the Summit ascent & descent as my legs had seriously given up on me.
So, anyone out there looking to climb Kili and are reading reviews, I can assure you that you will not go wrong with CK.
During my 8 day climb I made some great friends and have memories I will treasure forever.

"The best choice for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro "

As a novice hiker and climber, this company did an excellent job with preparing me for the journey, providing helpful tips and pairing me with guides to help make this experience a success. I did the 7 day Machame Route with Frank as the lead Guide, and Janet, Lemeck and Moana as Assistant Guides and I felt safe, cared for, and protected during the entire process. I highly recommend this company as it was a great experience for me.

" Athena G 1 Once in a lifetime trip up Kilimanjaro with Climbing Kilimanjaro"

I hiked Kilimanjaro with my family in December-January 2024/2025. We had an incredible time with Climbing Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Professor Omar, was very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Our assistant guide, Razack, made sure we had a safe and memorable time. Our chef, Obedi, is very talented and always made warm, delicious and filling meals. The whole crew cared for us like family and were such a joy to hike and camp with. We could not have been luckier with our team, nor made a better choice than Climbing Kilimanjaro. The gear we rented from them was top-of-the-line and made the trip so comfortable. We all cannot wait to get back on the mountain with the Climbing Kilimanjaro team! Thank you to them for all their hard work and dedication to making every trip a once in a lifetime experience!

"Climbing Kilimanjaro "

Justin and the rest of the guides were fantastic! They did everything they could and helped everyone make a successful summit. The porters were very friendly. Accommodation and food throughout the whole trip was fantastic as well.

"New Year's Day Summit"

My husband and I successfully summited Mt. Kilimanjaro with Climbing Kilimanjaro on new year's day 2025! This was one of the most mentally and physically challenging experiences I have ever done. All of the staff (guides, porters, cooks, drivers) went above and beyond to meet our daily needs, keep us safe and healthy, and insure that we had a great experience! I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro for this experience of a lifetime.

"Trip of a lifetime!💙"

I couldn’t recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro highly enough. All of the guides and porters were the kindest most genuine people who went above and beyond the call of duty to make climbing Kilimanjaro such a magical experience for all of the people in our group. They shared so much fascinating information and history about the mountain throughout the journey and always kept spirits high on the tough days. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking these wonderful guides if you are considering a mountain or Safari trip. Big love Cah Cahs! Asant Sana ❤️

"Trip of the lifetime"

Trip of the lifetime! Just got back yesterday from climbing Kilimanjaro with family of five and friends, 7d Lemosho route. The company Climbing Kilimanjaro is the BEST! Couldn’t think of anyone better to support us all the way. We had a range of ages (16-49) in our party and they took care of our every need. Their expertise, knowledge, incredible care in the small details, attention to health Ms well-being, building a sense of team unity can’t be beat. I would highly recommend them as your key to success to summit, but also to have a trip of a lifetime. We love your crew, Climbing Kilimanjaro!

"I highly recommend climbing Mt"

I highly recommend climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to anyone looking to challenge themselves and experience an unforgettable adventure. We celebrated turning 40, and kicking cancer’s and a plethora of mental issues ass by climbing. We chose the 7-day Lemosho route that promised success and insane views and it did not disappoint. It was nothing short of incredible and I am so grateful to the remarkable team from Climbing Kilimanjaro.

From the very start, the support and motivation provided by our guides were exceptional. We were a group of 12, and every single one of us successfully reached Uhuru Peak.. Chief guide Abdi Mikine, along with his talented team members Adolf, Masauri, Mamuya, Chiku, and David, ensured that we felt safe, encouraged, and empowered every step of the way. It was especially comforting to have a female guide in the mix, adding an inclusive and supportive atmosphere.

The logistics were seamless, with the entire crew working tirelessly behind the scenes. Our cooks, Manyaro and Steve, kept us well-fed and hydrated with delicious meals that fueled us through our climbs. We were also supported by an incredible team of 42 porters who were instrumental in making our experience enjoyable. Special thanks to Joseph and Kennedy for ensuring we had ample water, and to Julias and Yohana for keeping our facilities clean and comfortable. The team responsible for setting up camp—Betuel, Godfrey, Genesis, and Sam—made our nights restful and our mornings smooth.

The stunning views along the Lemosho route and the camaraderie we built as a group made this adventure truly unforgettable. Climbing Kilimanjaro exceeded our expectations, and I can't praise them enough for their professionalism, care, and commitment to our success. If you’re considering this adventure, don’t hesitate—Climbing Kilimanjaro is absolutely the way to go!

"Epic Kilimanjaro Climb and Safari"

Our Kilimanjaro climb with the Climbing Kilimanjaro agency was an amazing experience! As part of Team "Rafiki," Professor Omar and his crew went above and beyond, providing not only expert guidance but also endless positivity. The food was phenomenal—thanks to Chef Dioniz and Paulo, every meal felt like a feast on the mountain! They continuously surprised us with a fantastic variety, including pasta, eggs, chicken, fish, beef, fruits, and vegetarian options. Who knew we could indulge in popcorn, pizza, and cake at such altitude?

Omar, Adolf, Martiny, and the rest of the crew were always there to lift our spirits, sharing stories that kept us going. Morning tea from Maliky and "maji moto" from Alex, along with the culinary magic from Dioniz and Paulo, fueled us for the journey ahead. Summit day, like the entire trek, was unforgettable. With singing, encouragement, and heartfelt motivation, the team ensured we felt supported every step of the way. "The pain is just for a few hours, but the victory is forever!" - Professor Omar.
Speaking about the pain, the team genuinely want you to succeed and reach the top, but the company's top priority is your health. The team performed health checks twice a day, and ad-hoc consultation, ensuring that we were fit to continue and would get back home safely.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the entire team of porters (special respect to ladies Naomi, Prisca, Rogati, and Chiku) and the crew responsible for maintaining the toilets, setting up tents, and all the behind-the-scenes work. Their dedication and hard work often go unnoticed but were essential for making our journey comfortable and enjoyable. Without their constant support and teamwork, we would not have made it even close to the summit.

After our Kilimanjaro adventure, we enjoyed a relaxing safari with Kefas, who took us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire to experience the incredible wildlife side of Tanzania. He guided us safely close to the animals, giving us the opportunity to see lions, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, hippos, flamingos, hyenas, wildebeests, and more. Kefas provided great explanations about the nature and wildlife, making our post-Kilimanjaro safari the perfect way to unwind and celebrate our achievement.

Overall, being part of Team "Rafiki" made this amazing journey and our seamless recovery after Kilimanjaro truly unforgettable!
