Spirited Away
I cannot thank Spirit of Kilimnajro for a wonderful experience during my Lemosho route trek. I originally signed up for the 8 day trek, but with the help of my team I was able to complete it in 6 days. I am very thankful for my guide, Tuliza, who was always encouraging and uplifting me. He was also able to keep up with my speed on the mountain which not all guides are capable of doing. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the mountain and the proper pacing and techniques necessary to ensure acclimatization and well-being, especially during the challenging summit push. His encouragement and unwavering support were truly invaluable, especially when the going got tough.
One thing I can say without a doubt was that I was well fed during my entire trek thanks to my chef, Abeli. The meals prepared by the chef were amazing—delicious, varied, and exactly what was needed to fuel the body each day.
After reading many reviews online, I opted to get my own toilet during the trek. I’d like to give a very special thanks to Pandaeli for carrying the portable toilet up and down the mountain and cleaning it daily. I would highly recommend adding on your own toilet to your trek as the public toilets can be dirty and far away from camp.
The trek could not have been possible without the porters who work tirelessly, carrying equipment and setting up camp with impressive efficiency, always with a friendly demeanor. Thank you to Alihaji, Omari, Bwashe, Kagia, and Dave for their support each and every day.
Spirit of Kilimanjaro created an environment where one felt completely supported and cared for, allowing focus on the climb and achieving the goal of reaching Uhuru Peak. From the beginning, their professionalism and dedication were evident. They are highly recommended to anyone dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro. They are more than just a tour operator; they are a family who genuinely care about success and safety. Thank you, Spirit of Kilimanjaro, for the trip of a lifetime!

Seamless Last-Minute Safari with Spirit of Kilimanjaro
We booked a 4 day, 3 night safari with Spirit of Kilimanjaro very last minute a few days before starting out on our incredible journey. The team was able to squeeze us in quickly with minimum effort on our end. We contacted them, had our questions answered, and paid the day before we started the safari.
Since we booked so late the team made some special arrangements and we were able to join a 3 person safari with Cubs Expeditions that was already doing their 2nd day. Our group of 5 headed to Serengeti for a night, then to Ngorongoro for a night, and then Mto Wa Mbu for a night, which is where the 3 other passengers wrapped up their safari. We then finished our safari the next day as a group of 2 at Tarangire. Very thankful they made it all happen so fast and we were able to do a safari!
Sanke, Mkumbo, and Joseph heroes of Kilimanjaro!!
I joined a 7-day Lemosho Route tour. With our guides Sanke, Mkumbo, and Joseph leading the way, a team of 24 staff members supported our group of five. It was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. They are true heroes of Kilimanjaro. If you’re planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend going with Spirit of Kilimanjaro.

excellent service
I had excellent experience with Spirit of Kilimanjaro, William was very fast and efficient in communication and provided best quote for the trip. I really enjoyed arranged tracking and team was doing best for me. William helped to arrange stay before and after the trekking, as well as additional safari on my free days. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Great Lemosho Tour with Emanuel Mkumbo
The team was extremely supportive and caring. We initially booked a 7-day tour and ended up doing it in 6 days. Emanuel Mkumbo was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, always attentive to our needs, and very flexible.

Fantastic Kilimanjaro trek with Tuliza and Spirit
I did the Lemosho route to Uhuru summit solo. Originally planned to do 7 days, but agreed with my guide Tuliza to do it in 5 days if I was able to acclimatise and therefore have more time in Zanzibar at the end of my trek. I did do it in 5 days and Tuliza and his team were fantastic - great communication, information and problem solving from Tuliza and great food from the chef. Would thoroughly recommend Spirit and Tuliza in particular. It was a great experience generally and doing it in January with no rain and a clear summit every morning maximised the experience.
Note: one piece of feedback would be improved communication ahead of the trek, including with respect to how I could pay the balance - I had to pay the balance + 6% in fees a few days before the trek because I paid via card. Had I known this earlier I would have made arrangements to withdraw cash (& withdrawing such a large amount on vacation in Tanzania is not easy).

Friendly and fun. What a great crew!
My partner and I had a great time on a 3 day trip on Kilimanjaro staying at Mandara hut and Horumbo hut. Tuliza our chief guide was very knowledgeable about the mountain and did a great job of organising us and the team.
We didn't have sleeping bags but he was able to sort that for us very quickly causing no delay to us starting the hike.
We had a crew of 7: Chief guide (Tuliza), Assistant guide (Nicholas), a chef, a waiter (Jackson) and 3 porters. I would highly recommend them for any Kilimanjaro adventures. hopefully we can come back and summit with them in the future!
We had a great hike through a variety of terrain and conditions and although we didn't summit enjoyed chatting to other climbers about their adventures to the peak.
Our taxi driver was waiting for us at the Tarakea border crossing from Kenya on arrival and at the Marungu gate when we finished. He drove very safely in his clean and air conditioned car
