We cannot not recommend Nafika highly enough. Professional and fun. Look no further.
Our family of 5 trekked to the top of Kili with Nafika and had a memorable experience even with a cold and cloudy summit day. Elias made the pre-voyage organisation easy. Our guides Aloyise, Max and Frank were kind, fun knowledgeable - they were concerned for our health and made the trek easy and enjoyable. Arnold our cook was a star, even magically baking a cake for my wife's birthday even though he only learned about it the morning of.
Nafika is highly professional, locally owned and makes the trek a luxurious experience. The team ensured our camps were always set up in the best spots, that we never went hungry and always felt safe and cared for including the daily health checks for everyone (oxygen levels, blood pressure etc) and private toilet.

Fantastic traveling with Nafika
Highly recommended!!! Choosing Nafika was the right decision.
At a very fair price, Nafika provided me with a very luxurious pool hotel.
All the people here in climbing are the best and helpful. Experienced guides, skilled cooks and considerate entourage.
All this makes climbing Kilimanjaro a real treat.
It is worth noting that Elias is very helpful. Elias took care of me as a foreign visitor. This made my visit to Moshi town smooth and enjoyable. I really appreciate it.
Safe, reliable and true friend Nafika!

Very detailed Nafika tour
Nafika Tours quickly modified our safari itinerary to meet our needs.
The accommodations we booked were of excellent quality and comfortable, and the included meals were excellent.
Our guides were courteous and friendly, and they consistently helped us have a positive experience.
We look forward to working with Nafika Tours again on our next trip to the Serengeti.
Thank you for your help.

NafiKa Tours made every moment unforgettable.
I joined NafiKa Tours for a safari in the Serengeti. It was nothing short of unforgettable. Despite the long hours of driving, our guide remained patient, warm, and full of knowledge. He pointed out the geography of the Serengeti and helped us observe the incredible wildlife with care. Whether it was handing me a telescope to catch sight of distant animals, or showing me illustrations from his guidebook to explain species and their behaviors, he made sure this wasn’t just sightseeing—it was a deep, meaningful encounter with nature.

Highly recommend
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, everything was well organized and handled with great professionalism. The food on the mountain was not only delicious but also far beyond my expectations — every meal gave us the strength we needed for each day’s climb.
A special thanks to Elias, who managed all the arrangements smoothly and was always quick to respond to our questions before the trip. During the climb, our main guide Innocent was absolutely outstanding. His experience, encouragement, and constant attention to our well-being played a huge role in our successful summit. Along with the whole team of porters and staff, they were always cheerful, supportive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable.
Thanks to Nafika Tours and their wonderful team, I was able to achieve my dream of standing on the roof of Africa. It was not just a climb, but an unforgettable journey full of warmth, care, and incredible memories.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro — they made this African adventure truly special!

NEW BEE
Innocent and Aifada, the guides from Nafika, provided extremely professional guidance during the seven-day Lemosho route. We enjoyed the whole trip, discovering new things every day. Our chef's soup was amazing, and we were full every day. We had enough calories to prepare for the next climb. I wish Max can grow up to be a new guide as soon as possible. Every porter is also very hardworking, they are all very good people, I wish them not to be injured in the process of work, I enjoyed the whole journey, I really enjoyed climbing the mountain, this experience is unforgettable, I will tell my son, grandson, and great-grandson.

Professionally organised 6 day machame Trek
We just completed the 6day Machame route, and we couldn’t thank our guides Karrimor & Mr. Dixon enough for being the reason we made it to the summit! (along with the best of the best team!!)
We chose to hike Kilimanjaro with Nafika tours due to their amazing reviews and being a local company, and they did not disappoint. From the start, everything was very well organised, we had so much detail about the trek itself, packing list, food menu and a meeting with the guides to check out gear before the trip.
Once on the mountain, the team kept us motivated through the harder parts of the trek, even through the torrential rain/hail/snow, they kept us going! Our porters rushed past us everyday to make sure our tent was ready and there was hot tea and snacks waiting for us to arrive, they are absolutely amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better team! A special thanks to our waiter David & Chef who made sure we had tasty food, full water bottles and comfortable nights in the tent. Everyone was so friendly and always smiling/singing/laughing!
Summit day was very challenging but SO rewarding and emotional once you get to the top, Karrimor & Mr Dixon, thank you again for being the best guides!!
I would highly recommend booking with Nafika for your Kilimanjaro trek, we had an amazing experience and it wouldn’t have been possible without them! Thank you all SO MUCH for being the reason we made it to the summit!

Extremely professional, they make sure your dreams come tru
Nafika went above and beyond any possible expectations. Starting from the impressive availability of Elias in organizing each detail of our trip with very short notice and accomodating all our requests. Then Eli and Diklan, our super attentive guides who made it possible for us to reach the summit. But behind the scenes there’s much more that increases your chances to successfully climb the mountain: Jamali surprising us with warm boiled water after every trek and ensuring we had everything we needed all the time, Kennedy’s delicious dishes (we even had pizza, fries and popcorns on the mountain!) - big and balanced portions to make sure you intake all nutrients required for the trek, the support of John during the summit who carried on is own the oxygen tank in case of need plus thermos with hot tea to fight the cold, the endless efforts of Frankie, Simon, Lucas, Justin and Paulo who carried every day enourmous weights just for us being able to continue the trek - we opted for the luxury experience which includes standing tents with camping beds (highly recommended to ensure proper rest and avoid the cold soil) and portable toilet (as well, highly recommended since there are just public toilets on the route).
Last but not least: their smiles during the entire journey, their continuous support through laughs, jokes and songs sang all the way to the top (even in the most difficult moments of the summit). And just to mention: the crew always found the best spots in the camps with breathtaking views of the mountain and more privacy compared to other groups.
We will keep this experience forever in our hearts - thank you Nafika and the entire crew for making this possible. Forever grateful.
Finally, also the 3-day safari after the trek was very well organised: our guide Edi knew every route of the parks (tarangire, ngorongoro and lake eyasi) and made sure we had another incredible experience.
Simply choose Nafika - you will not be disappointed.

Helpful and Well organized!
Climbing Kilimanjaro was the hardest thing we have ever done. When we decided to do it, we didn't conduct much research; we simply planned to attempt it while in Tanzania for our honeymoon.
Upon arrival, we looked for trustworthy tour guides, as we had read about scams online. We were initially skeptical about booking online, but choosing this local tour guide turned out to be a fantastic decision! Elias was incredibly helpful, always easy to contact, and assisted us with all our questions and concerns. He even managed to organize everything at the last minute.
The team that accompanied us on our Kilimanjaro climb was professional and extremely supportive. Even when we felt it was impossible, they cheered us on and encouraged us every step of the way. We were often the last ones on the trail each day, and we doubted whether we would be able to reach the summit under the circumstances. However, our tour guides always believed in us, remained patient, and never once criticized us. Their unwavering support made all the difference—without them, we wouldn’t have made it!
Thank you, Nafika, for helping us achieve this dream!

Professional, knowledgeable and well reputed tour operator, did everything to ensure our success
8 day Lemosho trek of Kilimanjaro, ACHIEVED!!!!!
We had a fantastic experience from day 1 of the trek. The guides were top notch and extremely knowledgeable, in fact the guide who took us, Eli, seems to be well known throughout Moshi as an expert guide and well regarded. I found this out when I went shopping in Moshi, I talked to a few people and they all knew of Eli.
The whole team, from the guides to the cooks, porters, etc, knew exactly what needed to be done, and carried out their jobs as required. As a 59 year old male, I was overweight and struggled with the last day, but with the support of the whole team, we attained our goal and I reached Uhuru Peak.
I could not have done this without the support of the whole team.
