Abakombe Tours review
Great Climb
"We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with Chacha and his team and were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. We saw many other hikers struggling with the climb and some who were forced to turn back due to errors made by other guides, including inadequate English skills, lack of attention to the condition of their clients and even one person who had to turn back due being given incorrect and unnecessary medications by his guide. Chacha on the other hand is a consummate and attentive professional with lots of experience, great English and (just as important) excellent high altitude first aid training. We were checked each day for our blood oxygen levels and general condition. At least one member of our party almost certainly wouldn't have made it to the top without Chacha's care and encouragement. I strongly recommend that anyone wanting to summit Kilimanjaro pick their guides with great care and highly recommend this company.

Abakombe Tours is the great
On july 25, me with my fellow from South Korea we were meet at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfered to Moshi at Keys Hotel where our trip for a 5 days Marangu days marked the beggining followed with 2 days Ngorongoro crater safari!
Our trip was really good, we appreciated the arrangement made by Alphonce. He really took a good care of us and I can strongly recommend him to any one going for a trip in East Africa or Tanzania.
We were pleased by the service at Abakombe Tours and all the were perfect and panctual, the food was delicious and the guides were smart at every thing and especially Chacha and Martin.
Thank you all

Memorable and awesome experience.
Abacombe tour company has a lot to offer in terms of a Tanzanian experience. My main goal in Tanzania was to summit Uhuru peak, Killimanjaro.
Abacombe made my goal a reality. His team of guides, porters and cooks were excellent and professional in dealing with us. They made us feel comfortable throughout the journey to the summit. The guides were always there to encourage and give support where and when it was needed. The food was delicious and we had enough to eat to keep our strength up. I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Leo, Rama, Emmanuel, Sherriff and the entire crew for being there and making this mission a success.
Thank you Abacombe tours for making this a memorable experience for me.

Sumit of mt kilimanjaro
The team from India , Bangalore, sumitted Kilimanjaro on the 2 nd Feb 2016. Out of 14 members 12 of us sumitted. Thanks to the strong support of Abakombe who have an excellent team of Good guides and Porters and a superb cook who made it possible for us to climb the peak. I really do appreciate the timely help that they gave in the rescue operation of one of our team members too. We are very grateful to Abakombe for their sincere effort in making sure maximum number members climbed the peak. They re always cheerful and happy to give us a helping hand when needed. The safari was awesome too. Thanks once again for everything you did for us to come out successful.
Summited Kilimanjaro on 7 Day Machame Route
I could not have been more happy with my experience with Abakombe because of Alphonce and Jimmy. In July 2015, I went on the 7 day Machame route to climb Kilimanjaro. Even though I was climbing by myself, Abakombe still had great prices.
Being that I was not in the best of shape I was pretty nervous about getting to the top. Jimmy could not have been a better guide. He was so patient and encouraging to help me get to the top. I definitely perfected the art of Pole Pole which is often repeated on the mountain reminding climbers to climb Slowly.
Making it to the summit was not easy but I know I only got to the top because of my Guide Jimmy and great team of porters.
I was not able to go on a safari on this trip but am looking forward to using Abakombe when I am able to take another trip to Tanzania.

an unforgettable experience. highly reccomended.
The decision in choosing the right operator was an easy one. When compiling quotes prior to our trip I found Alphonce very responsive, accomodating, and always willing to go out of his way in meeting our requirements. Communication with him was very informative and all our questions were duly answered giving us peace of mind ahead of our trip. We had commited to a 6 day Kilimanjaro tour on the Machame route. Understanderbly we were nervous having never visited these parts of Africa or had much experience in treking, but with the meticulous planning and seemingly smooth logistics we found ourselves very relaxed and optimistic about the journey ahead. The Climb itself was tough, but the guides we had were great, you spend a lot of time with them throughout the trek. Their insightful knoweledge and motivation help a great deal in accomplishing the task. They really encourage every step of the way and promote a great level of morale from the outset. The porters too are fantastic and you really appreaciate the job they do in what most people would regard as very challenging conditions. The accomodation was basic but more than adequate, before and after the climb. Throughout the trip there was no shortage of food and water, which was of a good standard, we were looked after very well right up until the transfer back to the airport. All in all with the help of Alphonce and Abakombe Tours we were able to achieve our goal. I would have no hesiation in reccomended their services.

Amazing Experience!
Climbing Kilimanjaro was just amazing. Alphonce and his team made sure that we had everything we needed. He went above and beyond what we had initially agreed to. He made sure we got picked up and dropped off at the airport, chauffeured us around the city when we needed something, booked our connecting flights and even treated us to a nice meal upon the completion of the climb. He is honest, trustworthy and I would definitely recommend him.
The climb went so well that I also booked a safari through Alphonce. Again he made sure that we were well taken care of. The guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we had a wonderful experience.
Best Tour Company Ever!
Abakombe Tours put together an amazing adventure which included hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro and visiting the Ngorongoro Crater. From the moment we landed until we headed back to the airport, Alphonce and his team took care of every step. Alphonce has a great team and they work together to make your trip as fun and enjoyable as possible. Their guides, Martin and Goodluck, are fantastic and take care of every detail. They made sure we had the proper gear for our climb in addition to providing skillful leadership and expertise that we didn't see in the other guides during our successful summit up Kilimanjaro. They are kind and friendly and it very easy to get along with their entire team. I would highly recommend Abakombe Tours and will definitely use their company again for future adventures.

Abakombe Tours is Incredible!
Abakombe tours organized a perfect trip to Kilimanjaro and Ngorongoro Crater for me and a group of friends. We were a little skeptical before we arrived because Abakombe charges so much less than other companies we checked out. Alphone, Martin, and the team delivered in every way. The most impressive thing was how close the mountain team is--porters always happy, speak good English, Martin the guide is a natural born leader. His porters look up and respect him, just as he looks after and respects them. Really great cohesive team, which means that are group formed into a strong team as well. Made going up and down the mountain that much more enjoyable. We kept switching up the itinerary all the way up to a few days before we arrived, in all instances Abakombe was flexible and focused on delivering the best trip for us, even if it meant making a little less money for them and extra work making the last minute adjustments. Seriously, go with Abakombe. You will have a great experience.
