"No complaints!"

If you are looking for someone to take you to the top of this amazing mountain, I give "Climbing Kilimanjaro" my sincerest recommendation! Me and my girlfriend had a great time with them on a Machame-route expedition in june 2022.

"A+ experience"

My wife and I selected Climbing Kilimanjaro after tons of reviews and recommendations. We wanted to find a company that engaged in ethical employment and pay practices for their guides and porters and were happy to see that Climbing Kilimanjaro belonged to the appropriate organizations. From the initial scheduling and correspondence over email I was already impressed with the company. Upon arrival our guide George met us at the airport and took us to our hotel where we had an initial briefing on the climb the following day. George and our assistant guides Raymond and Johnathon were very knowledgeable, pleasant, and skilled in leading our group of 6. The porters are absolute mountain goats and it was impressive watching them scale the mountain with all manner of gear and backpacks while smiling and engaging with us. Kennedy our cook and Adolf the assistant prepared wonderful healthy meals to keep us energized for the climb.

My wife and I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend our crew and the company to any trekkers. My wife and I are both very fit (I an ultramarthoner) and live at altitude in Colorado so we did not find the trek that physically challenging. Aside from my wife having a bit of altitude sickness at the highest camp for a short spell, we did not have anything of note. Others in our group came from sea level with minimal trekking experience and definitely struggled a bit more. For those less experienced trekkers I would recommend following the company's posted training plan and putting some time on the trails in your area. George, Johnathon, and Raymond took care of the less experienced trekkers with great care, compassion, and leadership and were able to help the entire group summit with a 100% success rate for the group. A testament to the quality of human being you get to climb with!

"Choose Climbing Kilimanjaro Group to make you experience that much better!"

If you are planning on going to trek Mount Kilimanjaro, then there is NO better crew than Climbing Kilimanjaro. The staff is thorough, well-trained, and the best guides on the mountain. I cannot say enough great things about George, our leader, and his two assistant guides Raymond and Jonathon. They made me feel safe, even on the more difficult parts of the trek, prepared for all challenges one endures while climbing, and mostly we had so much fun with them during this life-changing experience.

My dad is 68 and had trouble at some parts of the climb. George literally held his hand at times, Raymond and Jonathon held his daypack, and all encouraged him and told him they would not let him quit until he reached the top. They are SO passionate about what they do, SO well-prepared, and THE BEST Tanzania has to offer. If there were more than 5 stars, I would give it because they are part of what made the trip so memorable.

Lastly, I cannot say enough about how impressed we all were with the porters. They carried our bags and camping equipment every day with the biggest smiles on their face. They would greet us after the days climb with high-fives, hugs, and a positive attitude that was contagious. They would help us put on our gear in the morning, help pack us up, and even assisted us climbing down the mountain after we summited. I have the utmost respect for them and all they did to make our adventure as simple as possible for us.

If you are planning on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro you will face a lot of hardships. It is a mountain after-all. However, the Climbing Kilimanjaro group will make your journey efficient and organized, make you fall in love with the people of Tanzania as much as the scenery, and help you accomplish your bucket-list goal of reaching the top. This company made the experience worth it, I cannot express that enough. Choose them, and you won't regret it.

"Once-in-a-lifetime experience"

Barnabas and his team took us on the 7-day Lemosho route up to Uhuru Peak. The route took us through lush rainforest with monkeys, moss, and birds; a light (almost Mediterranean) pine forest; a carpet of wildflowers on a plateau with sweeping views; and a barren moonscape. The hikes were all manageable—pole,pole (slowly,slowly) for the uphill and steady on the downhill. Only the final ascent was a real challenge, as was the altitude sickness on days 2 and 3. The 19-person team pampered the four of us with cooked multi-course meals three times a day in a dedicated mess tent, the luxury of a bathroom tent, and steady encouragement when we faded during a hike. Barnabas’ experience and calm was a big plus. Overall, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone with even just moderate fitness!

"Best Guides!!"

I just wanted to personally reach out to thank the whole Climbing Kilimanjaro team for one of the greatest experiences of my life. Literally every single person from start to finish was extremely professional, kind and knowledgeable. I wanted to highly acknowledge Isaack Munuo for literally being just the best guide possible. Without Isaack I would not have made it. He was wise by educating us not only on what to expect next but he educated us on different tribes and the history of Kilimanjaro. Also, Raymond Twati and Razaack for being extremely personable and helping me learn Swahili. (Quizzed me every night on anything they taught me during breakfast). Without those two I also would have never made it. Ali and Adolf and the two porters (Samwells) were some of the others who I would like to recognize for their excellence in working so hard, having amazing temperaments and also being so personable through the entire trek. I could go on and on about the experience I had but it would have never happened without all of these guys' help. So again, thank you so much for everything. I will pass on my experience to others and tell them about your company. If there is anyone in the future who would like to talk to someone who used Climbing-Kilimanjaro I would be happy to speak with them as a reference.

Asante sana
Cheers!

"Highly recommended company for great Kili trip!"

Highly recommend this company to climb Kilimanjaro. During arranging the trip, the team responds quickly to questions and provides a lot of information on preparing the trip. Everything is arranged with attention to details such as pick-ups, briefing on the climb, gear check, great hotel (for before and after the climb) and drop off at the airport. During the climb itself, all the guides, cooks and porters work really hard and they have a great energy on the mountain (always smiling and singing). The guides are very knowledgeable and share insights on the nature and tips on how to make it up the mountain. The cooks make great meals every day with variety in them (didn’t expect this upfront). The porters do a great job in organizing the camp and making sure that is completely set up when arriving there, e.g. water supplies or toilet (even in rainy and windy conditions). The value that the company provides for the price range is absolutely great. Barnabus and his team made it an unforgettable trip. So overall, I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro for a great Kili trip!

"Truly fantastic tour company!"

My 72-year old father and I recently returned from the trip of a lifetime, summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro together with Climbing Kilimanjaro! They were an absolutely fantastic company, and every detail of our trip was well organized, from the two-day safari we did with their guide Emmanuel to the 8-day Lemosho route trek with head guide Barnabas. All the staff, from the guides, cook, porters and others were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient and organized. Everyone worked so hard and as a team to make our trip run smoothly. The meals were fantastic, the tent sites were carefully selected, and the guides were very good at keeping our group on just the right pace to acclimate to the altitude. I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro to anyone!

"Uhuru 22"

10/10 would recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro. Justin was helpful with organizing transfer to and from Nairobi and even organized a private transfer on short notice when my flight was delayed. Traveling solo was no problem as there's a big group of guides and porters around you, as well as other potential clients.

The team on the mountain was utterly professional and knowledgable of the surroundings. They made all the difference when it came to comfort and facilitating for summiting. Special mentions to our lead guide Barnabas, and also to Frank and Adolf who impressed with their supportive mindset and hard working attitude. The rest of the porters were also thouroghly friendly and helpful, and the chef really dished up some fantastic meals along the way!

"The best adventure of my life!"

This was a trip of a lifetime and was in no small way this was because of Climbing Kilimanjaro. They are the best value you can find for safe and reliable. Also, they made the trip from the airport and lodging outside of the mountain an absolute breeze. I highly recommend their company if you're considering a trip to Tanzania.

"I recommend their tour to you"

I recommend their tour to you. They are very kind and friendly. And I enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner all deliciously. I had a birthday during the tour. Then they surprised and pleased me. I suddenly received a birthday cake and was impressed. A tour of Kilimanjaro is by no means easy. But you will be worth the participation.
