Couldn't Have Asked for More with Enosa Expeditions
it's been a month since we completed our trek up Kilimanjaro and I still can't find the words to capture the incredible experience we had, and it truly all boiled down to the Enosa group. Each and every member of our 14 person team was invaluable. Our group had people of different physical fitness, different comfort levels when it came to camping, to dietary restrictions. Our guides (ask for Willie and Eric) went above and beyond, to helping us tie our shoes, making sure we ate, carrying our daypacks when we were ascending, to literally helping pour water in our mouths when we were too tired to drink ourselves. The porters always had a smile and words of encouragement, and after a long day of hiking, they brought a smile to our faces each day, they were our hype squad, day in and out. I don't think we would have had such a memorable, pleasant or successful experience if it wasn't for us choosing Enosa. There are dozens of tour operators, and they all have their pros and cons, and I did a ton of research and took a chance with Enosa, and I would recommend them to anyone, beginner, novice or advanced hikers alike. They made sure we all got to the top, at our own pace (pole pole), taking into account our abilities, health and goals (I for example really wanted to make it to the summit for sunrise). They made it happen. From the day we met them, they encouraged us, up until the very last moment, when our guides queued my favourite song, so I could dance out of the park to the last gate. Choose your tour group wisely, they truly have your life in their hands, and I can tell you that our group truly took great care of us. Thank You!

Enosa goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience
Can't say enough about Enosa! Everything from the food, to the porters, to the guides were nothing but the best. Special shoutout to our guides Eric and Willy for making sure we got the job done!
Trip of a Lifetime
Couldn't have asked for a better group to hike Kili with!! They took care of all the little details so we could just focus on hiking the mountain and helped make it a trip of a lifetime.
If you're considering hiking Kilimanjaro or going on a safari ride, definitly book your trip with Enosa!
(The food was awesome too, shout out MK!)

Great Experience w/ Great Guides
After long wanting to attempt climbing Kilimanjaro, we finally took the step of booking a trek with Enosa Expeditions. Our journey began in early January 2021. Upon arriving in Tanzania, we met Eric and Wilfred, the two (incredible) guides that would be leading us on this journey. They were well-informed and made sure to offer a comprehensive breakdown of what the coming days would offer and how to be best prepared, whether it was clothing, equipment, or merely preparing yourself mentally. All-in-all, the experience was truly remarkable, and the unwavering guidance, support, and enjoyment provided by our two guides along the way made the experience all the more worthwhile. For anyone trying to decide between the array of operators on the mountain, I can highly recommend using Enosa Expeditions. If you do, be sure to request that Eric and Wilfred guide you - with these two guys, you can feel comfortable that not only will you successfully make the journey to the roof of Africa, but you will have an awesome time doing it.

We decided the evening before we were flying out to go on a safari & Noel made it happen!
Noel is a full service provider, from trekking to safaris & we felt so well taken care of by Noel. Highly recommend!

Overall a great experience on Mt. Kilimanjaro
The staff during the hiking were amazing. They were very helpful and the food was amazing! Overall a great trip and unforgettable memorize. I signed up for a 7 days trek but ended up doing it in 6 days. I felt that one of the tour guides wanted to get home early and pushed us a little faster. We had a few in our group doing 6 days and some 7 days, so we were suppose to split during the trek but all ended up doing 6 days. I ended up pretty sick and threw up the whole way up on the summit day. Wish I would have done it in 7 days, due to my reactions to high altitude. Everyone else in my group was ok, minor sickness. Communication prior to the trek was very limited, had to email several time to get questions answered. Wish there was more information sent prior to leaving on what to expect. Please be aware that there was an expected tip around $250-300+ dollars per person after (for 6 days trek and 6 people in the group). I wish the whole tipping process would have been explained better prior so we could have prepared better and knew what to expect. But as mentioned prior, overall a good experience and I would recommend the company. Just be prepared that the communication may be limited and you have to ask.

Machame 7 day
Great experience. There were no surprises. Wilfred was a great guide. He prepared me well for the final push and in the end I felt satisfied. Communications prior to the tour were adequate and I got what I needed. The guide came to my hotel the night before and made a list of items I needed and the following morning I was given the items. The trek itself ran smoothly and my trust in the guide and his professionalism ensured my success.

Excellent Experience
Everything, from our arrival at the airport to the departure, was well organised. The team took really good care about us and it was a fun experience. I'd recommend Enosa, because it is a local agency and highly reliable.

Wonderful experience with accommodating staff!
Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Enosa! We did the 6-day Machame route Mt. Kilimanjaro trek as well as the 2-day Tarangire and Ngorogoro Crater safari, and our guides were amazing (for the most part). Anthony, one of our trekking guides, was incredibly helpful and helped me so much on summit day. There were three of us, and two of us successfully summitted since one of us suffered from extreme altitude sickness. Noel was also very accommodating and responsive before the trip! We had a few bumps along the road mainly with miscommunication and pricing discrepancies; however, he was very willing to work with us and adhered to our needs. During the trek and safari, the meals that we were provided were pretty good (chicken, sandwich, juice box, fruit, small dessert). If you're looking for a reliable, more affordable experience with Mt. Kilimanjaro or a safari, I would definitely recommend Enosa!

Great experience!
My 7 day climb of the Kilimanjaro with Enosa Expeditions was a great experience!
I booked my climb with Enosa via an international intermediary which worked well for a very decent price.
Together with an another European we formed a group of two climbers, supported by a total of 11 support staff: 2 guides, 1 cook, 1 waiter/porter and 7 porters.
All of them worked with their heart. Their loyalty to you is incredible in allowing you to reach the top. Also the porters worked incredibly hard. Guidance was very professional, while the cooking was magical in what we received every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Through all sorts of ways, the guides follow your physical (and mental) condition closely which gives a good feeling. If necessary, they have various measures they can initiate. I received a packing list from Enosa after booking and had a breefing and gear check with the guide one day before the start. What I forgot to bring I could borrow from Enosa.
Perhaps only thing for improvement is regarding tipping. There is much being said online about how much to tip. Numbers can vary greatly online. Much is also dependent on group and staff size. Enosa, but other operators as well, might help in providing clarity on this so you can better prepare this before getting to Tanzania. It is not so easy to lay your hand on large amounts of dollars in the country itself. Enosa allowed for paying tip with Creditcard which helped!
I will definitely advise booking with Enosa anytime! I want to thank the whole team as well as Noel Ernest for making this never to forget!
