Reviews
A Remarkable Adventure in Tanzania
Our journey with Kilimanjaro Heroes was terrific. What began as planning a trek for 2 up Kilimanjaro via the 8-day Lemosho route evolved into a trek for 7 to the summit and also a 6-day safari for 4 of our party. What truly sets Kilimanjaro Heroes apart is their responsiveness, flexibility, and dedication to ensuring an unparalleled adventure.
From the outset, communication was seamless. The provision of a local US telephone number made coordinating with a Tanzania-based company effortless, eliminating the need for costly intermediaries. This direct line of communication proved invaluable, especially as our group expanded from 2 to 7 individuals and our itinerary transformed to include both the trek and safari.
During the ascent of Kilimanjaro, the local team's commitment to our success was unwavering. Despite encountering altitude sickness among three members of our group, the guides and porters went above and beyond to ensure everyone reached the summit safely. Their support was truly remarkable, from daily medical checks to the guides even carrying the day packs of those struggling on the final ascent—a testament to their dedication and expertise.
Moreover, the personalized touches extended beyond the trek itself. Arriving a day early in Tanzania, some members of our group ventured to explore Arusha National Park, while others opted for rest after the long journey. Unexpectedly, those who remained behind were treated to a tour of Moshi by our guide, providing a glimpse into local life and culture—an unexpected highlight of our trip.
For those short on time and seeking a safari experience, Arusha National Park offers an abundance of wildlife, including different types of monkeys, elephants, cape buffalo, giraffe, etc. alongside the opportunity for a walking safari—an ideal option for a condensed wildlife encounter.
When it comes to the safari portion of the journey, we recommend booking early, as accommodations in the various safari parks fill up quickly. Our late booking necessitated more driving than necessary. For visits to the Serengeti, opting to fly back can save valuable time, eliminating an extra 5 hours in the car—a consideration worth considering.
In summary, our experience with Kilimanjaro Heroes was terrific. From the initial planning stages, marked by flexibility and responsiveness to accommodate multiple changes, to the successful summit of Kilimanjaro and the unforgettable safari adventure, For those seeking an adventure of a lifetime in Tanzania, Kilimanjaro Heroes is definitely worth considering.

I can't express enough how phenomenal our experience was with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures! From the moment we began planning our trip to the final descent, every detail was handled with expertise and care.
First off, the team at Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures are true professionals. They're not just guides; they're seasoned adventurers who know the ins and outs of every trail and peak like the back of their hands. Our guides, Mwinyi, Calvin, Gloria & McTemba were hands down the best of the best. Their knowledge of the mountain, its flora and fauna, and the local culture enriched our journey tenfold. Not to mention, their infectious enthusiasm kept our spirits high even during the toughest stretches of the trek.
Speaking of the trek, wow! Kilimanjaro is a beast of a mountain, but with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures, we felt supported every step of the way. The routes were carefully planned to maximize acclimatization and enjoyment. And the scenery—breathtaking doesn't even begin to cover it. From lush rainforests to otherworldly alpine deserts, every turn presented a new marvel.
Safety was a top priority for Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures, and it showed. The equipment provided was top-notch, the campsites were clean and well-maintained, and the team constantly monitored our health and well-being. We always felt secure, allowing us to focus on soaking in the beauty of our surroundings.
And let's not forget about the food! I was genuinely surprised by the quality and variety of meals prepared for us on the mountain. From hearty breakfasts to delicious dinners, the chefs (thank you, Chef James!!!) at Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures made sure we were well-fed and energized for the journey ahead.
If you're considering trekking Kilimanjaro, look no further than Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures. They don't just offer a trek; they offer an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring moments, camaraderie, and personal growth.
