A lifetime experience.
Everything about the 7 days Machame route to climb the Kilimanjaro was great. Communication, guides, chef, porters, were excellent. They really took care of us!
Me and my son had a unforgettable trip. Thank you Noël, Anton, Gilbert, and all the others who accompanied us. We will never forget you.

Mt Kilimanjaro 8-day Lemosho route with Enosa Expeditions
Myself and four friends from Ireland successfully climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with Enosa Expeditions in July/August 2019.
The experience was excellent from the outset - communication with Noel was very regular in the build-up to our trip and we were picked up from the airport. We had a lost bag on our flight in so they accommodated us by pushing the start day back a day.
Our guides Anton, Eric and Fraterino were a great help throughout our 8-day climb, advising us each evening in the tent on what the following day would entail, and helping us with any headaches or issues that arose during the climb.
The porters were fantastic too, and the food we got each day really helped keep us nourished throughout the day. These guys know what they are doing and I would certainly recommend climbing Kili with them.
All five of us successfully reached the summit on a really tough summit night, and that was in no small part down to the help we got from the Enosa crew.
Thank you very much for all your help guys from the Irish group of 5!
Highly recommend to anyone!
From the initial enquiry about the Kilimanjaro trip to being dropped off for our transfer to Dar El Salaam at the end of our trip, the experience we received from Enosa was exceptional.
Communication through Noel was extremely efficient and he did everything possible to ensure that the trip ran as smooth as possible. We received a detailed kit list and had a good understanding of the Lemosho route which was the route we had chosen to take.
After arriving in Kilimanjaro, a driver was waiting at the airport to take me to the accommodation provided by Enosa. The staff at the hotel were so accommodating and because I had landed in the early hours of the morning, they were happy to provide a room for me to sleep in on my arrival. Later that day, myself and my friends were informed that we would have a meeting with our guide that evening. Ricky (our guide for the trip) came to the hotel and gave us a thorough introduction and answered any questions that we had. Following this, we had our kit checked to ensure that we were well prepared for the trip.
The trip began the next day and again, the experience we received was amazing. All of the staff in our group had our best interests in mind for the full 7 days and they couldn't have done any more. Alex (our chef) prepared delicious, filling meals for us to eat 3 times a day. Ricky gave us a briefing every evening explaining what the day ahead would be like, what to wear etc and this was extremely useful. His understanding of: the route, our pace, timings were spot on and this contributed to the smooth running of each of the days.
Although the summit day was tough, the positive energy of both Ricky and Kelvin made the experience much easier and it was extremely rewarding to reach Uhuru peak.
I cannot recommend this tour company enough, the whole experience was amazing! Thank you for such a memorable trip.
Excellent tour
The tour was very well organized and an overall great experience. We saw all animals!

MOUNT KILIMANJARO TREK AND SAFARI
We had an amazing trek and safari with Enosa Expedition.
We did the 7 day trek through Machame route. Noel, the owner of the company was always there to answer our questions while planning our trip. During the trek the guys made us feel comfortable all the time, the food was more than plenty and very tasty. Every day upon arrival at each camp everything was set to make us feel like home. Special thanks to all the porters, our guides Anton, Fraterino and Preygod and the amazing cook Sheidi. We also did a two day safari at lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater, our driver Shirima was an exceptional person, polite and kind always keen to help.
Everything was perfect, it was an unforgetable trip.
Thanks again Noel and everyone else.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Trek - Lemosho Route 7 Days
My wife and I booked a 7 days climb Mt. Kilimanjaro Lemosho route. Noel from Enosa did a great job. He personally handled all the logistical of our trip (i.e. taxis to/from airport, hotel, transport to Kilimanjaro) without any issues and always on time. Noel was responsive, and quick to address any questions we had before booking. He answered every e-mail with unbelievable promptness. Agreements about the price and timing of our trip was achieved quickly.
The adventure was led by Pascal and Regan (Guides) who were very professional. They had over 10 years’ experience in managing the climb and they went the extra mile to make sure everything went smooth. They knew exactly how fast (slow) to go and where to take breaks to enjoy the gorgeous views. They were very attentive to each of us on the climb and made sure we stayed together and check that everyone was healthy and feeling strong. On day 4 we arrived at camp early and we played cards with guides and a couple of porters. They taught us some Tanzanian card games and we had fun all afternoon creating a special bond with the team. On that note, the food was also amazing! Our cook, made us, healthy meals every day that were delicious! I brought way too many snacks. Enosa also provided ample snacks which were nice and differed from day to day.
Summit day was naturally the most amazing day of the trip and the guides went above and beyond on that part of the trek. The overall climb itself was straight forward and not too difficult, except for the summit night, which is tough. Our guides and porters did a great job to make sure we reached the summit. They even offered to warm my hands as they froze at Stella Point.
When tipping I recommend giving the guides and porters individual envelopes. They are better in dealing in cash, which is true about everywhere in Tanzania. I took out cash from a local Tanzanian ATM with no transaction fees before the trek. This was something that I figured out before I left, but many people do not.
Enosa puts you up in a very nice hotel which was greatly appreciated after 7 days of hiking.
In summary, the group of porter's, guides and cook engaged for our climb did everything in their power to make our trip success and we had an awesome time.

Mount Kilimanjaro 7 day Machame route expedition
What a wonderful experience! All thanks to the Enosa team! It's the first time I have ever done something of this magnitude, but WOW, I can say it was worth every penny. From landing at Kilimanjaro airport and getting picked up by Noel to be taken to the hotel, everything went so smoothly, without a hitch. Enosa really does have a top notch team, and I would have never been able to complete the hike without the support and motivation that both our guide and assistant guide gave me on the way up. The porters , cook and waiter were absolute champions! From the most delicious meals being severed to us while we were still in bed during the early hours of the morning. The waiter waking us up in the early hours of the morning with a smile on his face could make even the most demotivated person motivated. Getting to each camp and having everything already set up, and ready to just sit back and relax was like a dream come true. The Enosa team was top notch from the beginning all the way to the end. Do yourself a favor and select Enosa! You can not go wrong!
