Perfectly organized, professional, and warm.. and unforgetable!!
5/5

Climbing Kilimanjaro was truly an unforgettable experience — one I will never forget. What made the trip even more special was the incredible team.

From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The communication was great, I immediately felt I was in good hands. Genes is not just professional and reliable — they genuinely care about their clients.

The staff was amazing. The guides were knowledgeable, supportive, and always made sure we felt safe. They checked on us daily, paced the climb perfectly, and kept the energy positive even during the toughest parts. The porters and cooks were just as impressive — so hardworking, kind, and always smiling. The food was delicious and I was so inpressed what they can make so high up in the mountains in short time and for so Many people.. unbelievable! But the entire team made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of every day.

Even when the altitude and terrain got tough, I always felt secure thanks to their experience and attention. Their professionalism gave me the confidence to keep going, and ultimately, I reached the summit feeling strong, safe, and incredibly proud.

This was not just a trek — it was a powerful personal journey, and I’m so thankful to have done it with Genes. I highly recommend them to anyone dreaming of climbing Kilimanjaro. With them, you’re not just climbing a mountain — you’re doing it with a team that feels like family.

Tanzania at it’s best
5/5

Genes Adventures help us organise a Safari trip in Nothern Tanzania and the climb of Mt Kilimanjaro.
The planing was done taking in account all our wish and constraints (we are a family of 5 with children). the reality exceeded all our expectations:
- full service during all the trip
- Great guides, both during the safari and for the climb
- we had a spare day and Genes helped us with a program « a la carte » (2 persons did one additional safari, the others stayed in town for craft sightseeing)
- we went all five on top of the Kilimanjaro with a warm and friendly crew

Great vacation, we will remember Tanzania. We warmly recommend Genes and his team.

A beautiful experience with amazing and kind people!!!
5/5

The team was very kind and generous with our group. They were talkative during the trek and put in a great effort to make connections with us and create a happy environment. The service was also AMAZING from carrying our bags, cooking us food, making sure we stayed healthy and treating the group with kindness. They were also extremely educated and whenever we had questions they were quick to answer them! Overall the trip was the most memorable and cherished trek I’ve been on. Thank you so much for making my trip amazing!!

Thoughtful, friendly and experienced tour operator
5/5

I had a great experience with Genes and his team! The communication was great, the guides were going at an appropriate pace, but were gently pushing our limits when needed. They were super friendly and knowledgeable, telling us stories about the mountain and the surroundings, and we quickly became friends, sharing stories and playing games. The rest of the team catered to all our needs, so I felt very comfortable and safe. I would really recommend sleeping in the tents instead of the huts, because it can get crowded in some locations. The costs were very transparent and Genes shared with his team exactly what they will earn (this is different with other agencies who keep the tips secret). This was an unforgettable experience for me and I owe it in no small part to our experienced guides! I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

Outstanding Experience with Genes Adventure Company
5/5


Genes Adventure Company is an excellent, locally-run operation that exceeded our expectations. My partner and I signed up for the 8-day Lemosho Route climb followed by a 4-day safari—and from start to finish, Genes Adventures provided outstanding service and timely, clear communication.

Our Kilimanjaro climb was led by Genes and Joseph, both of whom were knowledgeable, friendly, and highly professional. Genes, in particular, was exceptional. If you listen to their guidance and follow their pace, they will absolutely help you reach the Roof of Africa. The entire mountain crew—including the cook and porters—were fantastic: always sensitive to our needs, attentive, and eager to go above and beyond.

Our 4-day safari was equally impressive, led by a superb guide with an eagle eye for wildlife. Time and again, he spotted animals we never would have seen on our own. His experience and passion for the job were obvious and added so much value to our trip.

Overall, Genes Adventure Company delivered a top-notch experience. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.

Gene’s adventures was excellent in every way. Safety, customer service! Experience of a lifetime.
5/5

Genes was simply amazing planning every detail of my safari adventure and climbing Mt Kilamrnjaro. The best most satisfying trip of my life. Genes adventure planned every detail of the trip and the 2 weeks went flawlessly. The safari experience at 4 parks was incredible. Safety was very important. The food was 5 star even on the mountain. Genes crew were just as wonderful, polite, and just fun to be around. I would recommend them to everyone as they will insure you will have an experience of a lifetime!! Thank you Genes adventures.

Amazing experience and well guided
5/5

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!
