"An experience I will never forget!"
An experience I will never forget. Climbing Kilimanjaro helped make this an unbelievable experience. Service was great. Team was amazing. And the Northern Circuit was beautiful. Some stand-outs from my trip was our guide George. Not only was he an amazing leader for the team, but he was also knowledgeable and confident in his recommendations. During the hike, he recommended we make some impromptu changes to our initial itinerary and helped change our summit plans from a night summit to a day summit. Our whole team was thankful for the that change and we could not have done that without George. I highly recommend asking for him to lead your expedition because he will guide you to success.

"Climbing Kilimanjaro Guides are Incredible"
If you want to successfully summit Mount Kilimanjaro and feel like you are part of a family at the same time, choose (CK) Climbing Kilimanjaro. Our group had a 100% success rate for summitting with 11/11 climbers making it to the top. The Climbing Kilimanjaro crew (guides, cooks, porters, etc) that helped us up were absolutely incredible. It is clear they are passionate not only about Mount Kilimanjaro, but about ensuring the climbers enjoy the experience, are safe, and have everything they could possibly need to summit. They are very thorough about preparation and ensuring all the climbers are safe through daily morning and evening blood-oxygen checks, and continuous evaluation. They are extremely experienced and are proficient at identifying signs of altitude sickness or any other issue climbers may experience. Our entire group felt very comfortable with guide company.
Some detailed info about common questions people ask:
-They offer quality rental equipment at a very affordable price so you do not have to purchase anything on your own.
-Male and Female toilet tents
-Awesome food made by the chefs on the hike (they are also porters)
-Quality tents and sleeping bags
Bottom line: Climbing Kilimanjaro was impressive. It was much better than I could have imagined. While I cannot speak to the merit of other guide companies for comparison, I CAN say that another group that was on our route only had a 50% success rate (for one reason or another). The statistics speak for themselves. This was truly an incredible experience. Choose Climbing Kilimanjaro!

"Excellent team!"
Team Tembo lead by Gipson was amazing! They were personable, trustworthy, and took excellent care of needs during the trek! No need to worry about the food, it’s very good and they give you more than enough to sustain the physical effort. On summit day all those with us made it to the top, so the dream and the team goal was a success! Would definitely choose them again!

"Book with CK!"
I am eternally grateful to the Climbing Kilimanjaro staff for an amazing 8-day trip. With the help of our experienced guides and porters, every person from our group summited safely!
The booking process was easy and they were very accommodating to our group’s needs. We felt safe and taken care of even before the trip began. We were given plenty of information to prepare: such as training guides, packing lists, and route options.
During the trip, they were attentive, informative, kind and supportive. They take safety very seriously by checking your heart rate and oxygen levels twice per day. They are knowledgeable about acclimatization and hiking pace.
The CK crew prepared the most delicious meals, snacks, and tea times. We never went hungry! They put so much care into every meal.
The porters did a wonderful job setting up and breaking down camp every day and I felt safe and comfortable in my tent. They even brought us warm basins of water to wash up twice a day. As far as camping goes, its quite luxurious!
In addition to an amazing trek, we learned so much about Tanzanian culture through the knowledgeable guides and friendly porters. They even went above and beyond during the hike, educating us on native flora and fauna and teaching us bits of Swahili. After our trip ended, they organized a one-day safari operated by Climbing Kilimanjaro.
It was an experience of a lifetime made possible by the CK crew. I recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro to any person interested in doing this climb.

"Top Notch Experience"
Amazing experience made all the better by Climbing Kilimanjaro's top-notch crew! Our guides (Emmanuel, Solomon, and Victor) were so friendly, safety-conscious, and informative, and we were so impressed by our porters' strength and sense of humor as they essentially sprinted up the mountain. The provided meals and equipment were similarly incredible, and I cannot rave about CK enough!

"To the top!"
What an incredible journey … personally and as a group. The summit was the destination, but the trek was so much more!
Climbing Kilimanjaro is the perfect group to make the trek with! Justin, Eva, Salim and Adolf are incredible leaders who motivate, inspire and support. They brought us to the summit and back with great cheer, love and safety.
There are many organizations to choose from, and many are quite similar. Go by reviews and word-of-mouth … choose CK!

"Great organisation. Amazing experience Lemosho 8 days"
The Kilimanjaro 8 Lemosho trekking was very well organized bij Climbing Kilimanjaro. The whole crew was amazing to make this possible. Really enjoyed every day of the trekking thanks to the crew and my fellow travellers :) Food was fantastic and they really make sure you have a safe trip to the summit. Would definitely recommend it !

"Amazing experience - don’t hesitate to book with CK!"
Such a wonderful experience through and through booking my Kilimanjaro trip through Climbing Kilimanjaro! The booking process was a breeze, with Brian R. incredibly prompt and responsive. Our guide Isack and assistant guides (apologies for any misspellings of names) Salim, Samuel, Gabriel, Dativa, Maria, and Dula were so attentive and caring throughout the trek (tending to the various altitude sickness symptoms for 13 trekkers over the 7 days). Our Chefs Mamma Mia and Luka made cooking large delicious meals in the mountains look like a breeze! And last but not least… our 46 porters (including those that had extra jobs like our amazingly kind waiters, Jifty and Joel, and our latrine staff) were SO selfless and wonderful, carrying our stuff and setting up camp each night.
Many of us in the group discussed afterwards and we truly do not think we would’ve summitted Kili without the support of the collective staff throughout the trek. Massive thanks and gratitude to Climbing Kilimanjaro for creating a truly unforgettable experience on the Roof of Africa.
I am now unabashedly obsessed with the “Jambo Bwana” song they sang before and after the trek. Shoutout to Salim for being the ultimate hype man!

"It was a truly amazing experience"
It was a truly amazing experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have had a better crew. Everybody from Frank to Yunus, Mashauri, Mamuya, Tuheri and all the porters was absolutely amazing, very supportive, friendly and just great fun.

"I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro"
My 18-year-old son and I climbed Kilimanjaro in early July, 2023 with the amazing people from Climbing Kilimanjaro. We had a great time and we both successfully made the summit. Our main guide, Gipson, along with his team of assistant guides, cooks and porters lead our 10-person group at a slow, steady pace to ensure we acclimated to the altitude and avoided injuries. The Climbing Kilimanjaro crew treated us like family and made us all feel welcome on the beautiful mountain slopes of Africa’s tallest peak. Thanks CK! You guys are awesome and I will be back to climb Kilimanjaro with you again!
