5-Day Safari in Tanzania with Kili Vikinhs
My family and I took a 5-day safari trip with Kili Vikings https://www.safaribookings.com/day/t3520. It was a memorable experience.
Charlie R., the owner of Kili Vikings was fantastic. He arranged for every detail, explained everything through emails and answered all our questions ahead of time. He delivered everything he had promised. We had a great time, saw lots of animals and enjoyed every lodge/campsite, each having its own character. For the last day, we asked Charlie if he could change plans and arrange for something different as we had already seen so many animals in 4 days. He arranged another tour for us at one day's notice. We really appreciated the flexibility.
The breakfast and dinners at the campsites were great, but the picnic lunch boxes were repetitive and boring with overcooked dry food, with so many items that we could not possibly eat and were happy if we could find any takers.
But hey, you got to have some nuances along the way to call it an adventure.

6-Day Machame climb and 1-Day Safari
We joined a 6-day Machame Route climb with two people, plus a one-day safari tour in Arusha National Park as an optional tour. Richard, who organized the tour, was very kind and always took the time to answer our many questions. The package also included airport–hotel transfers, and rental equipment was conveniently delivered to our hotel.
For the climb, we were supported by a team of 11: two guides, one chef, one waiter, and seven porters. Our mountain guides, Goodluck and Gift, set a pace that matched our fitness level, which made the trek very comfortable. The tent was cozy, and the meals were delicious. Compared to large group tours, the smaller group allowed for more flexibility, and our team was able to secure great camping spots. With the fitness level of people in their 30s, summiting Uhuru Peak in six days was very achievable. One tip: prepare your tips in advance for the final day, as there are recommended guidelines for tipping ammount.
After the climb, we spent a day on safari in Arusha National Park. It was only a two-hour drive from Moshi, and we saw a wide variety of animals. For anyone who wants to experience the nature of Tanzania in a small group setting, we highly recommend Kilimanjaro Vikings.

Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time, the whole crew was very helpful and attentive. Both Goodluck and Charles were excellent guides and clearly had a lot of experience in Kilimanjaro. Charles was very knowledgeable about the nature in the area and shared a lot of insights along the way. We were very comfortable in the tent, it was huge, and the food during the whole trip was amazing, we didn’t know we could eat so well up in the mountains. Goodluck did a great job assembling the team.
Overall, we had an unforgettable time and everything went perfectly.

Responsive and helpful with every aspect of the trip not just the climb
We did the 7 day Lemosho route that was offered by Kili Vikings. This proved to be one of the hardest, yet one of the most rewarding things I’ve done thus far. Charlie from Kili Vikings was a great operator, who took care off every aspect of our trip, not just the climb. He was responsive and supportive, and answered all the questions we had. The climb was super well organised, our guides John, Conrad and Prosba were amazing - they took care of us for the whole week and were always careful so that our well-being is safeguarded, they made the climb that much more enjoyable. Apart from the climb, Kili Vikings also arranged us a safari tour, that was very well planned out and executed. Overall working with Charlie and Kili Vikings was a really enjoyable experience.
