Fantastic customized services and wonderful team!
We were greeted by Edwin from Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures upon arrival at Kilimanjaro airport. A team of 8 people, one head guide (Daniel) and one assistant guide (Joshua), porters, and a cook accompanied us throughout the entire 7-day ascent to the summit of Kilimanjaro and the descent. Fantastic teamwork, they provided personalized service, tailored to our needs. The mountain is not at all easy, but they made my 20-year dream come true smoothly and comfortably, despite the difficulties of camping and other activities.
The 3-day Serengeti safari was also very satisfying; the driver, Frank, was very attentive and helpful with the information we requested and he knew the geography of the park very well.
I highly recommend Taste of Kilimanjaro!!! A+!

Personalised, well-supported trek with a great team—just clarify toilet setup before you go
As a solo female traveller, I felt completely supported and safe throughout my private Kilimanjaro trek. Communication before the tour was friendly and responsive, and the service was highly personalised—from the moment I landed to my departure, the team ensured everything ran smoothly.
My guide, Chuwa, was outstanding: experienced, wise and easy-going. The cook, Yusuph, prepared fresh, delicious meals every day, and the porters—Joseph, Ally, Alhaji and Issimail—were respectful, helpful and fun.
One area for improvement would be clearer communication about a couple of things: 1) toilet options on the trail (they are latrines and can be quite dirty) and the option to get a private one; 2) recommended gear in advance; 3) that unless you state it, the eating tent is also the sleeping quarters of the porters, while this was not a problem for me, others might feel uncomfortable.
Overall, it was a memorable and well-organised experience.

Exceeding our expectations in so many ways!
My father and I decided on an adventure in Tanzania. My father is 79 years old and this was a big dream of his. Our goal was to climb with a local tour company (as a lot of tours are owned outside of Tanzania). This particular tour company was recommended and we decided to book our trip.
Our goal was to climb Kilimanjaro in 8 days on the Lomosho trail and then after the climb do a safari.
Upon landing in Kilimanjaro, the internet at the airport crashed and we couldn’t get our visas for over three hours, our plane was already late an hour upon arrival. Edwin and Frank were patiently waiting for us outside the airport and greeted us with huge smiles and immediately we felt like we were in good company and would be well taken care of during our trip.
Edwin set us up with our climbing team, with lead guide Chuwa, and assistant guide Stephen. They took us up the mountain with our 6 porters and cook Joseph. The food was awesome, home cooked and always wholesome ingredients, with many tastes of African home cooking. We had snacks and popcorn on the mountains for breaks. We were never hungry or thirsty the whole time. The service exceeded our expectations.
Chuwa was a master leader on the mountain and he and his team got myself and my father to the summit. Coming down the mountain was a challenge for my father, and Chuwa’s team was amazing at helping him, beyond words and gratitude.
My father had some medical complications after the climb and Edwin and Frank were there to help with grace and expertise in Moshi and Arusha.
We managed a safari for one day and our guide was Hafidh was a professional at his task and answered all of our questions about Africa, the culture, the people, the animals, the trees and flowers, we tried to stump him, but couldn’t.
I can’t recommend Edwin and his Taste of Kilimanjaro tour company enough or even thank them enough to get us through our trip safely with grace and kindness.
If you’re thinking about this tour company you won’t be disappointed, they handled everything, the good and the bad.
This will always be a lifetime achievement for myself and my 79 year old father.
Thank you again,
Edwin, Frank, Chuwa and Hafidh!

An unforgettable experience to the Roof of Africa
I couldn’t have chosen better organizers. My journey to the Roof of Africa was indescribably beautiful. My team — especially my guide Yusuph — was absolutely incredible. Everything around the climb went smoothly as well, from the straightforward booking process that accommodated all my wishes, to the airport pickup, hotel arrangements, and onward travel. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, and I’m truly grateful to have shared this adventure with Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures.

Amazing Experience. Highly Recommend!
My groups experience with Taste of Kilimanjaro was amazing. Edwin was our main point of contact for our group (of 5 friends) and we booked our combo Kilimanjaro 7 day and safari 4 day tour. He was very communicative, responsive, and accommodating.
First we climbed Kilimanjaro. We were so lucky to be with Bryson (head guide) and his crew. Bryson has summitted Kili 400+ times and is the mayor of the mountain - everyone knows him. His experience really came in handy for my friends' medical issues from the altitude and I don't think one of my friends would have made it to the first summit without Bryson. He is extremely empathic and funny and we are so thankful for his presence and guidance. The rest of the crew was amazing as well. We had hot food everyday which we were surprised about and were impressed with the chef. Edie was a wonderful waiter. All of our stuff was ready when we got to the camps for the evening.
The safari was an amazing, magical experience. Ibrahim was also super experienced as a safari guide, and that really does come in handy for finding and tracking the animals. He gave us photography tips and has the voice of James Earl Jones lol.
The hotel accomodations were great. I really enjoyed the luxury tents in the Serengeti. That was a magical experience waking up in that setting!
The pricing was excellent. I have recommended Taste of Kilimanjaro to friends that I've told about my trip and you need to pick Taste of Kilimanjaro for an excellent experience!

Professionell, very helpful and very quick in response
The porters, guides and all other guys work very quickly and professionell and all they do, they make it gladly.
The cooker made a top job, better many cooker in hotels, and that with in the camp limited means.
They are very friendly in all they doing.
They do all for the clients to reach the summit.
Professionalism at its finest. Felt safe and supported at all times. Great value for money.
My experience with Taste of Kilimanjaro started before I reached Tanzania. The team was always there 24/7 to answer to my questions and listen to my concerns in the most attentive and professional manner. I didn’t have to worry about anything because everything had been covered and planned by them. As soon as I reached Tanzania, I was greeted by the most lovely team. Bryson (my guide) explained everything very thoroughly the day before the trek and made sure I had all the equipment I needed without trying to upsell me anything. Throughout the trek, my guide and his team made me feel safe and supported at all times. I have been camping and trekking for years but this time I felt like a total Queen. Everything was thought of in advance and Bryson went above and beyond to make sure I had more than I could ever ask. The food was incredible and so was my overall experience in the Killimanjaro mountain. Most importantly though I was impressed by the way I was treated from my guide, not as a client but as a dear friend. He genuinely cared about my wellbeing and he was professionally trained to respond to emergency situations which proved to be invaluable and was the reason I was finally able to summit. After sharing my experience with fellow trekkers, I realized how lucky I was to have chosen Taste of Kilimanjaro for my trek because I had the most amazing team. This was the experience of a lifetime and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature, adventure and trekking.

Good organization
We can recommend a tour with Taste of Kilimanjaro. Edwin put a lot of effort into it and the organization worked very well. We were picked up on time at the border between Kenya and Tanzania and before the tour everything was explained to us well and we were helped to borrow the necessary clothes. Our crew was very helpful during the climb and we were treated like kings. After the tour, Edwin organized the onward journey to Mombassa for us. Thank you again for everything!

Edwin was incredibly helpful and very attentive in helping the group navigate Tanzania.
Edwin was extremely helpful, responsive and attentive to the needs of our group. He made excellent accommodations with very thoughtful added extras that really made the trip especially nice and enjoyable for all those involved. Taste of Kilimanjaro has some of the most expert guides we could’ve hoped for. Up the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro our guide paid expert attention to us and was extremely supportive and good natured. The summit guide had exceptional experience, having summited over 400 times and knew exactly how to guide and motivate us to be our best and reach the top! The summit guide was basically mayor of the mountain, he had traveled so many times he knew every other guide, porter and chef and knew every nook and cranny of the mountain. Our safari guide was equally exceptional. With over 12 years of experience he knew every national park in Tanzania like the back of his hand. These parks are massive, consisting of dirt roads with little signage and he navigated them without hesitation. The safari guide was extremely familiar with the areas of the park, knowing the movement and territories of the animals and he used his expertise to show us all of The Big Five in only 3 days (plus a Cheetah)! Our safari guide was always one step ahead of all the other drivers in the park, knowing exactly the movement patterns of the animals to get is a front row seat to the action, we often found other drivers just following our Land Cruiser in hopes of seeing what we were seeing.
