Incredible experience with a very friendly and a well equipped company
5/5

We flew-in on Arusha, without much planning ahead, like always, we trust things will be fine once you meet the right local people. In our case Saidy. And it was indeed sorted within 30 minutes, right at the hotel. We could jump in a Landcruiser the following morning! We were lucky, we had a private safari (not in a group) which can be fun too, but with just a driver and cook and the 2 of us, you're just more flexible. We were accompanied by a Stanley (driver and guide) a great friendly giant, funny and knowledgeable about all animals around us, always happy to make that extra mile for a better shot. But he was also a mechanic - which gave us a comfortable feeling when we had to change a tire. And a cook (Vale) who cooked us 3 meals a day, early morning, late at night, always fresh and tasty! First to Tarangire, right at the start we already met a group of elephants, giraffes, monkeys, gnoes and other wildlife. Slept on a beautiful spot (!) on top of a valley, the sunrize was epic. Next day a long drive all the way up north-west to Serengeti where literally stumbled over all wildlife you can image. For 2 days we sept in a simple - but perfect tent at a (primitive) campsite. All you need is there, but you are in the bush, so no fancy stuff. Early bed, lost of animals and unfamiliar sounds around you, loved it. Early days, breakfast and started the game drives at 7:30/8. After the 2 day game drive with the (open rooftop land cruiser) back south to Ngorongoro crater, where we also spend a night. We've seen all wildlife we hoped to see, some very close (lions and cheetah next to the care) hippos in a pool and even rhinos from a distance. Special thanks to Stanley and Vale who made the trip a life time experience! Thanks Saidy for arranging everything, end to end to our satisfaction!

Amazing Experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro
5/5

I had contacted several other tour operators who either didn't reply or couldn't offer what I wanted, and so luckily the manager of my hotel recommended Almighty Kilimanjaro at the last minute.

When I met my guide I knew it would be a great 6 days.

I had not thought about having a private tour before, mostly as I assumed it would be too expensive for a solo traveller, but it turned out to be similarly priced and the best choice I could have made.

I spent 3 nights at the Octagon Lodge in Karatu,and 2 nights at Green Hills in Serengeti, travelling to Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

The accommodations weren't luxurious, but had good food and lovely staff and were fitting for a Safari adventure. The lunch boxes each day had enough food to keep me satisfied and Frank helped me to locate my favourite drink to accompany it.

Even though I chose a pretty standard itinerary which we stuck to, Frank made it feel like a special tour created just for me.

We saw all the birds, animals and locations I'd wanted to see and Frank remembered the things I liked and took me to them or pointed them out for me.

Frank knowledge, interest and caring made a great tour fantastic and I am going to go back for a different one next month.

Amazing!! The best tour operator with the best guide for climbing kilimanjaro!
5/5

The communication with all the workers (guide,chief, porters...) is the best. All of them know a perfect english and they take care of you all the time. The service is like a hotel but in the mountain, simply perfect!! They helped us all the time making the lunch, the campaments and so on. The best thing is the guide, with him you have the highest chance to achieve the top of the mountain. The last thing, it’s not expensive in comparison with other companies. It well worth it!! I recommend it 100%!!

Phenomenal Experience
5/5

My family and I (6 people ranging from 52yr-14yr) all recently climbed, and summited, the Uhuru peak with our incredible Almighty Kilimanjaro team following the Machame trail. This was our first adventure of this sort, with little altitude or trekking experience however with the help of the Almighty Kilimanjaro team we all thoroughly enjoyed the hike.

I seldom write reviews however I felt that this company is truly worth the recommendation. This company, based and operating out of Moshi, truly encompass everything that we were looking for. As part of the KPAP group, they insured that all porters are fairly paid and do not carry excessive loads. Furthermore, as most of their porters and guides were from Moshi or the surrounding areas, each and every one cared immensely about their home country.

Without the help of our guides/co-guides Nick, Innocent and Godfrey I guarantee that the trip would not have been the same. From maintaining moral during our 2am night or helping to carry our bags when we struggled, they were incredible from start to finish. A special shoutout to Innocent who help me on the summit night and ensured I made it to the top!

Each and every night was different, from amazing food cooked by the legend Stephen to the group dances with the porters, if you embrace each opportunity with open arms, it will be an experience you will never forget.

After climbing Kilimanjaro we also went on a 6-day safari. This was an equally-incredible, yet a different experience entirely. We were fortunate (huge credit to our guide Johnson for creating that fortune though!) enough to see some spectacular animals such as leopards, giraffes, elephants, cheetah and even hunting lions. Again the experience would have been completely different if I had not had such an experienced, knowledgable and kind guide.

Thanks to everyone at Almighty kilimanjaro for making the experience both enjoyable and one to remember for a lifetime.

TEAM CHAMPION!

Spectacular tour through 3 of Tanzania’s amazing national parks with a knowledgeable guide.
5/5

From start to finish was an amazing adventure made all the better by guide Francis who was knowledgeable and friendly and immediately on meeting put everyone at ease. He was endlessly patient when asked to stop all the time for photos and enquired all the time we were happy and enjoying our tour. It was my first trip to Africa and first Safari but very pleased I had booked the tour it was everything and more that I was hoping to see and Francis was an amazing guide.

Outstanding and caring, they got me and my 16-year-old daughter to the top!
5/5

This was a five star service with brilliant assessment and support throughout and without which we would never have made it to the top. We took the Whiskey route, which was more scenic, and we had the most memorable extraordinary trip. Food was great, support was outstanding, I can't recommend highly enough.

Eye Opener
5/5

The tour was simply amazing. It did not only enable me to reconnect with nature, but it also helped me to learn a lot. So it was a funducation I.e fun and educating. At the end of it, I felt like there was more I could have done, so I can't wait to have another go at it some other time.
