Amazing experience and well guided
I climbed Kilimanjaro with Genes Adventures in 2010, and it remains one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Genes was a fantastic guide—patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging. He supported us every step of the way, from the base to the summit and safely back down. His calm presence and clear communication made us feel secure and motivated throughout the journey. The organization, service, and overall care were exceptional. If you're considering a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I couldn't recommend Genes Adventures more highly!

Genes is the most amazing tour operator and Kilimanjaro guide.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was always a dream of mine. I was so fortunate to book my adventure with Genes. He was right beside me the entire climb; encouraging, making sure I was safe, healthy, well hydrated and well fed. What an amazing journey it was, one I will never forget!

Genes was a highly professional leader.
We were a group of Swiss, German and Tansanien people, 24, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on the Machame-Route. Genes team comprised 84 porters and leaders, who all knew what their job was. They were characterized by exceptionally precise cooperation. Daily medical checks and targeted measures when difficulties arose, endured the well-being of each individual. Everyone of the whole group reached Uhuru Peak!
The all-around care also included very good food for omnivores as well as for vegetarians or gluten-free eaters.
We slept in two tents and were woken up in the morning wirh the question: coffee, tea or hot chocolate? We started the day with a hot drink in the tent!
A short devotional each morning inspired us to hike connected wirh the Living One. The atmosphere was uplifting all seven days, even in the storm that tore a food tent. It was immediately dismantled and mendid.
Looking back on this life-changing ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro, I am still thrilled and draw on the especislly beautiful memories.
I can highly recommend Genes as a tour-leader.
Professional and with a sense of humor

Genes Shirima is not only a ‘Star Guide’ he is a ‘Guiding Star’ thanks to whom I completed Kili
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro had been my dream since 2010 ever since I saw the UHURU peak while landing in Tanzania. It was only in 2017 that I did finally summit & I give full credit for my successful climb to Genes & his crew.
He is knowledgeable, hands on, well trained, careful, cautious & caring. I would recommend him to anyone who plans to summit to the rooftop of Africa!

Safety first, Summit second
Genes Adventures helped me summit twice.
The first time I went with an organised group.
The second time I organised it myself because I knew that Genes was the one!
Genes is very well organised.
Genes is funny.
Genes is a true leader.
Genes understands what is needed.
Genes has two goals:
Safety first, summit second.
This is why I am going for the third time, with...
GENES!

A very involved and flexible organisation and there staff is very driven to build great experiences!
Genes Adventures guided us on a your to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Aswell in planning the trip as in leading it, we were involved in every aspect of the trip. Although the guides were clear when they had to be, they (and other staff) became a very welcome part of our trip. Their ways ro motivate us when needed without loosing focus on safety and fun felt very naturally.
My next hike on Kilimanjaro will definitely be with Genes again.

Genes is a committed and very knowledgeable tour guide and a warm person.
Genes was the guide for me at a trip on Kilimanjaro. It was a great experience and I felt safe, especially by the presence of Genes. He has a very natural way of making contact and ensures that you have a beautiful experience that you will never forget.
