"Climbing Kilimanjaro"

My Son and I signed up for the Rongai rout of Kilimanjaro with the amazing Climbing Kilimanjaro Company. The guild, assistant guide, chef, and the rest of the team were amazing. They exceeded our expectations on all levels. The attention to details were incredible!!! Thank you CK for making our dream a reality.

"Our Climbing Kilimanjaro Team was Exceptional"

Our entire Climbing Kilimanjaro team was very knowledgeable, professional, hard working and positive!!! Special thanks to Frank our lead guide, assistant guides Samwel and Gerald, and our porters Nor and Calvin for providing very personal and above and beyond assistance. We wish you continued success!!!

"Strongly Recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro"

What a terrific experience working with Climbing Kilimanjaro. This company prioritizes the safety of its guests, customer service that is above and beyond, knowledgeable and hardworking guides, and quality of food at every meal. This was a great company to climb with and whom I strongly recommend for making your own experience memorable.

"CK is outstanding!"

Climbing-Kilimanjaro did an outstanding job in all aspects of our experience in Tanzania. We had a family of 4 of which 2 arrived early to climb the 8 day Lemosho Route up Kilimanjaro and 2 arrived later to join for a 6 day safari and a few final days in Zanzibar. It was a bit unnerving just “sending money into the void “ when we were arranging everything but once we arrived, there were drivers waiting at every transfer to take us to hotel or activity or airport. The climb up Kilimanjaro was so well organized. For our group of 8 we had 4 guides, two chefs and 30 porters. That may seem like a lot, but they all worked so very hard and always had smiles on their faces. There were a lot of people and groups on the mountain but they made it feel like we were the only ones. When we arrived, in Tanzania, each of our pairs of two were taken on day trips, of our choosing, around Arusha and vicinity.
After the climb, they provided us with a guide/driver and private Land Rover to take us around the northern safari loop. We visitedTarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara national parks. We had 4-5 star accommodations in safari lodges and safari camps the entire time. I have never been taken care of so well. Our trip to Zanzibar was a bit too short to really get in all the activities we wanted. One of the issues being that we had planned so late we ended up in a resort across the island from Stone Town. We did have a great time renting a hobie cat and sailing off the beautiful beach, exploring Stone Town and wandering the beach. But, it was an hour and a half from the airport and for our day trip into Stone Town. The resort reminded me of a landlocked cruise ship, so, if that’s your cup of tea…otherwise book early.
Overall I cannot say enough positive things to do Climbing-Kilimanjaro justice. They did an outstanding job. Thank you Omary, Jonathan, Peter, Joseph, Erick, Issa, Robert, Vitalis, Peter, Voomee, Brian and so many more. You are a part of an amazing family.

"Trip of a Lifetime! "

In all honesty, it is very difficult to put into words just how amazing this trip was. I spent an entire year planning, prepping, and working out. The sweat in all of those workouts and hikes leading up to the Kilimanjaro trip was all worth it and then some. Climbing Kilimanjaro Company truly is the best. We had 6 amazing guides: Isaack, Raymond, Saleem (sorry if I misspelled), Mary, Gerald, and David, They were like hiking with professional mountaineers, doctors, historians, and friends all in one. They took care of any and all needs that arose with our group, but I must say there were very few needs that arose because everything was so carefully planned and organized. The porters? Wow, they are the backbone. They do so much work. They are so incredibly friendly and help you whenever you need it. I HIGHLY recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro Company to anyone thinking of a trek on Kilimanjaro. I would be happy to share my experiences and answer any questions someone may have. They also planned my Safari which was also amazing. Another great guide (Bernard) who was very knowledgable and extremely nice and friendly. I left Africa with not only the experience of Climbing Kilimanjaro and seeing the Serengeti, but I also left with new lifelong friends. ALL thanks to the Climbing Kilimanjaro Company!

"Climbing Kilimanjaro Machame Route "

My wife and I completed the Machame route with Climbing Kilimanjaro in July 2024.
The 7 day trek was one of the best experiences we've ever had, and this was primarily due to the hard work and charisma of the CK guides, porters, & crew.
A few things worth mentioning include:
1) Food - it's all freshly prepared, healthy and delicious. You won't go hungry and this is an important factor in successful ascents. (Thanks Suleman and Jared)
2) Guides - highly professional and experienced. Tomaini, Salim, Naomi and Sixbeth were also great fun - they sang and danced us all the way up to Uhuru Peak!
Safety - our guides gave us information briefings each evening and took our pulse ox readings twice per day. They also monitored our progress and constantly reminded us to drink enough water, walk slowly, eat snacks etc.
3) Toilet & washing facilities - we had a private portable toilet for the group of six clients. This was cleaned several times per day and was a far superior option than using the communal toilets (trust me on this!). Thanks Gifty! Warm water is also provided twice daily for personal washing.
4) The trek itself - the daily treks are manageable for most people with a reasonable level of fitness. Above 3,000m, altitude becomes a factor so you need to listen carefully to your guides. (Pole pole and sippy sippy!)
Summit night is long and quite difficult. Descending is also steep and exhausting. The CK guides played a heroic part in keeping everyone motivated with singing, dancing and fun - I can't emphasise enough how important this becomes when you hike through the night at high altitude in freezing temperatures!

The above factors contributed hugely to the constant banter, laughs and chats within the group. Everybody in the group successfully reached Uhuru Peak in summit day without issue.
Thanks Team CK, you were amazing!

"Amazing trip"

Amazing trip, can’t fault anything. Guides were so nice and we had an amazing time all the way to the summit. Thank you ❤️

"8 day lemosho, 10/10 recommend"

Can’t say enough good things about this group. My dad and I did the 8 day lemosho trail circuit and our entire group of 9 people summited. The guides were knowledgeable and attentive. At one point I was having issues with the altitude and they pulled me aside to make sure everything was ok. The chefs and food were phenomenal. The equipment provided (tent, sleeping pad and bag rental) were top notch. 10/10 recommend these guys!

"Amazing trip"

Amazing trip. Great guides, great support team. Good tents and tasty meals. We reached the summit, despite blizzard conditions. If you want to climg Kilimanjaro, would strongly recommend using Climbing Kilimanjaro.

"Amazing!"

This company was amazing and definitely exceeded my expectations! The guides, porters, cooks, etc. were all so amazing, I always felt safe and supported throughout my trek. The guides made the trip very fun with their kind and joyful spirits. I successfully made it to the summit with their help! Definitely would recommend going through Climbing Kilimanjaro!
