Supportive beyond any expectations
5/5

Our daughter 18, is currently on Kilimanjaro about to summit and was with a smaller company linked to KWESA -due to little contact and report of her feeling isolated as the only climber in the group, and struggling with the cold, Edward at KWESA linked her in with one of his teams and sorted additional warm items, and reported to us multiple times through 2 days of progress. Absolutely incredible-I could not have asked for more support -even photos were sent to reassure all was well aswell as a medical report.
Thank you SO much -I would highly recommend this company -clearly very supportive and experienced.

Amazing time
5/5

I booked a 6 day climb of Kilimanjaro by the machame route and had an incredible time. It was my first time solo travelling and the whole team made me feel incredibly welcome. Tuliza was an absolutely incredible guide, helping me reach my goals - arrive at the top of the mountain first!! - and kept me smiling the whole trip. Masanja was the chef and every day the food was amazing - pancakes, pizza the lot. Also special thanks to Omary Juma the waiter who was incredibly funny and friendly. I was super nervous before booking but the whole team was amazing!! Thankyou Tuliza, Masanja, Omary and Kwesa tours

Amazing Tanzania Safari
5/5

Communication with Edward from KWESA was great. He made planning easy with his timely replies to our emails and WhatsApp.
Edward made sure we had the best guide and all activities were well conducted.
I wish we had more time as there was so much to see. Each new day brought wonderful experiences.
We visited three parks - Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
We are very happy with KWESA and would definitely recommend this great company.

Super Company for Hiking Mount Meru and Kili
5/5

General
We booked with Edward 2 hiking trips to Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro in July 2021. We are a young couple (30 and 32) and do regularly sports and hiking. To prepare for the hikes we started to go running (6-10km) more regularly.

After we arrived at Arusha International, we have been taken to Edwards’s brother in laws hotel BetterInn and stayed there for the first night.
In the morning Edward and our hiking crew came and we started with our hike to Mount Meru. Edward and his employees are super friendly and openminded. We were lucky to have the same crew on both hikes consisting of 10 people (2 guides 1 cook, 1 waiter and 6 porters). Especially our guide William was very friendly, caring and professional company on both hiking trips.

About Mount Meru
First Day of Mount Meru is very beautiful, because you hike in a National Park and can see wild animals directly in the Nature. We saw giraffes, monkeys and wild buffalos next to us. On this trip you will sleep in huts with 2 or 4 beds per room. The beds in the huts are very comfortable and you will have good sleep if your sleeping bag is warm enough.
During the first days we realized that we are much faster than the average groups and the estimated hiking times. Therefore, we decided to start later as normal to summit to Mount Meru. However, we were still too fast and had to wait on the top for 45 minutes in the dark to see the sunrise. Our guides William and Agostino were very caring and supported us with nice Tanzanian Songs and warm Ginger tea. On the way back we used rescue car to go faster down to prepare for the Kilimanjaro summit.

About Mount Kilimanjaro
After 1 day of rest, we started our hike to Kilimanjaro with our guide William and the rest of our crew from Meru. We chose to hike Machame route in 6 days, however after day 2 we arrived already in the next camp at 11.30am and decided to hike day 3 tour also on this day. For the summit we decided to start at 3am and not 12am, because we are much faster than the average hiking groups. We have been very lucky, because we arrived on the peak at 8am and were alone for more than 10 minutes. This was a very special moment for us, and we are happy thanks to our crew and particular our guide William.

Summary
We had an amazing experience in Tanzania thanks to Edward, William and the whole team. We highly recommend booking your hiking tour with Edwards company

Amazing and personalized experience with Kwesa tours
5/5

My fiancee and I traveled to Tanzania during covid. We summitted Kilimanjaro and did a 6 day safari through Kwesa tours and had an amazing time from start to finish! Kwesa is an extremely professional family-operated company. Edward was especially responsive over Whatsapp while we were planning the trip. We did the Lemosho trek with Edward's brothers Joseph and Goodluck who made the entire experience very memorable. They even offered to carry our daypacks for us when we got tired, which definitely helped us make our way to the summit. We ended up summiting and coming down in just 6 days, so we added two days to our original 4-day safari, which Edward was able to swiftly organize. After coming down from the mountain, Edward took us out to a nice dinner in town with Joseph and Goodluck. We really felt like family! We did the Safari with Brighton and Felix, who were also excellent. Felix was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and Brighton was a very professional driver. The lodges we stayed at were very high-end and better than expected. Edward is very resourceful and will go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. He even helped us organize a covid test in Zanzibar so we could fly back to the U.S. Overall, I would highly recommend Kwesa tours to anyone looking to explore Tanzania. They exceeded all expectations!!

No Regrets! Wonderful
5/5

The 4 of us booked 8 days Kilimanjaro climbing using the longer Lemosho track with Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Adventures. Communication prior to the trek was smooth and as Teacher was helpful, and patient with us.
Our guides proved helpful, and supportive during the climb, they he took time to ensure our health with daily checks for blood pressure, oxygen levels as well as maintaining Corona precautions. We reached the summit exhausted, views there were jaw-dropping, especially the sunrise above the clouds!
We have no regrets for using this wonderful company

The Best Kilimanjaro Operator
5/5

My wife and I have just come back from successfully climbing Kilimanjaro via the 6 days Machame Route with Teacher (The Super-guide and director of Kilimanjaro Wonders Expeditions Safaris) and it was nothing short of phenomenal. We found Teacher waiting for us at the arrivals and it was cool to finally meet him in person. He did not leave our side, taking care of us all through. I cannot find any fault in the whole trip as everything was well planned for and in place. The trek was tougher than we expected and the crew helped us a lot. They kept us well fed, hydrated, warm and safe at all times.
I highly recommend Teacher and his awesome crew to all.

Making the impossible - POSSIBLE
5/5

We recently had an awesome 6 days Kilimanjaro trek using the Machame route with Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari with Teacher our SUPER guide! He knew the mountain like the back of his hand, very charismatic. His charm and energy infused my girlfriend and I, though we struggle a bit on the summit night. These guys really know their stuff and take it seriously additionally they have the right equipment for the mountain. At no time did we feel in danger, everything was well taken care of from the great food, warm, snuggly, clean tents, drinking water, sanitizers and a mobile toilet just for the two of us.
Thank you very much Teacher and your team for making the seemingly impossible, POSSIBLE!

This is the best vacation in a long time
5/5

We found Edward of KWESA very attentive and informative during the booking process. Together we made an action packed itinerary at the right cost and staying in mid-range lodges which turned out to be exceptional. During the trip the company gave us a reliable and safe car with an incredible guide. He is knowledgeable and funny making us laugh a lot during the trip. He also drove carefully at all times. We did not miss any activity in the program and asked us what we wanted to see.

I am glad to have gone on safari with KWESA and recommend them fully.
