Best experience of my life
Where do I begin. From start to finish this trip was nothing short of exceptional and an experience I’ll never forget. From the start, communication was fantastic with Frederick and Sedrick who answered all of our questions and concerns very quickly.
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands with our lead guide Onesmo and assistant guides Vincent, Jonathan and Jacqui. They became like our family over the course of the next 8 days as we did the Lemosho route. As did the entire crew who accompanied us up the mountain - the chefs, porters, tent and toilet engineers. It takes a small army to climb Kili, and each one of them works tirelessly to ensure you have everything you need.
We’d arrive every day to a fully set up camp, always in the best spots of the campsite with magnificent views. The food was delicious and abundant, you will never go hungry with these guys! We’d be woken every morning with a coffee and a bowl of hot water for washing.
Summit day was incredibly tough, and we couldn’t have done it without the guides and kili fighters who were with us every step of the way, carrying our daypacks and singing to us the whole way up, shouting words of encouragement and keeping our spirits high. It’s such an emotional experience and one I’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about doing Kili, Eco Africa is the ONLY company you should even think about using. Best experience of my life!

Kilimanjaro Magic
These guys are ultra professional, dedicated, caring and tremendous fun. Right from the off they showed excellent communication skills led by Onesmo. They were very thorough checking every item of our kit to make sure we were safe and comfortable. They measured our blood oxygen and heart rate twice a day and were always looking out for us.
They were inspirational and gave a wonderful set off dance on day 1 and on summit day. The only thing that beat that was the farewell festivities at the end. Many of us commented how well they motivated us on the toughest sections of the hike up Kilimanjaro. As a 66 year old, they made sure somebody was with me every step of the way, especially on the trick descents. I would highly recommend Eco Africa.

Choose Eco Africa!
I joined my two Kilimanjaro-climbing friends for a breathtaking 4-day private safari when they got down from their successful climb! I'll let them explain about the wonderful crew for their climb, but I will share that the safari trip was a trip of a lifetime thanks largely to our driver, Josephat, and the excellent organization by Eco-Africa Climbing. I had never really had a safari on my "bucket list," but now I will be telling everyone about how unforgettable this trip was, and how the organizers were so generous and accommodating. I already recommended Eco-Africa to a woman I met on the plane back home who expressed her strong desire to go on safari. One of the many great things about the trip was that we felt we were part of an ethical group who treat everyone well and endeavor to be respectful of, and have minimal impact on, the gorgeous environment. We saw so much and experienced so many great moments across three national parks and three lodges for safari. Josephat was super knowledgeable and made every effort to provide a memorable journey and he was an indispensable resource. If I ever do another trip in Tanzania or have friends going, I will be reaching out to Eco-Africa Climbing again!

Professional and Knowlegeable
Summitting Kilimanjaro with ECO Africa Climbing was a fantastic experience. The guides (Raphael and Vincent) were experienced and knowledgeable. They gave us some options that allowed us to avoid backups at the Barranco Wall and to summit during the day; giving us time at the top with no other climbers around. The members of the support team/porters were great and completely helped with the experience. The whole team not only got us to the summit and back down but did it safely. As a 68 year old climber, the pole, pole pace provided by Vincent helped me make the summit - he assisted me immensely, both going up and coming down. I would definitely use them again. Can’t say enough good things about this team.
The safari was indescribable. So many animals and birds. Steve, our guide and driver, gave us so much information about what we were seeing. He would position us to gets some fantastic views and photos. Each day just got better and better. It was truly an awesome experience with ECO Africa.

Once in a lifetime experience!
We had a wonderful, once in a lifetime, experience on our safari work Eco-Africa! Our crew treated us like royalty, providing us with great viewing, fabulous accommodations, and delicious food!
From seeing many of the other safari companies around us, I can honestly say that Eco-Africa provides one of the best organized, individualized, and first- class experiences available.
Huge shout-out to our driver, Steve, for getting us "front row seats" to so many amazing animals and allowing us to linger in our admiration to get some great photos that will make this safari live on in our memories for the rest of our lives!
You did indeed become "family" to us! ❤️

Amazing Experience with Eco-Africa Climbing!
I booked my entire Tanzania vacation with the locally owned company Eco-Africa Climbing, and it was the best decision I could have made. Every part of the trip was extremely well organized and exceeded my expectations.
For my Kilimanjaro climb, I chose the Rongai Route. My guide, John, was highly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive the entire way. The whole mountain crew was incredible — friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. I felt safe, motivated, and well taken care of throughout the climb.
After the mountain, I went on a two-day safari with Josephat as my driver and guide. He was amazing — very experienced, patient, and full of interesting information about wildlife and the parks. We saw so many animals, and it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
On my last day, I enjoyed a bike trip with Onesmo and Awadhi. They made the tour fun, relaxed, and a perfect way to wrap up my adventure.
I highly recommend Eco-Africa Climbing to anyone visiting Tanzania. They support the local community, provide excellent service, and deliver unforgettable memories. I would definitely choose them again!

I'm convinced Eco Africa Climbing is one of the very the best Kilimanjaro tour operators!
My friends and I had a truly incredible experience climbing the beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro with Eco Africa Climbing. I feel incredibly lucky to have had their team look after us for the entirety of our time in Kilimanjaro. We really did feel in very safe hands from the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport. The communication with Frederick from when we booked the trip, all the way through to the conclusion of our time in Kilimanjaro, made the whole experience seamless and minimised any worries or concerns we may have had.
Our wonderful guide, John, collected us from the airport and dropped us off at our hotel. We had three wonderful guides looking after us for the whole trip; John, Jackie and Babusha. They checked to make sure we had all the appropriate gear and offered any rentals we may need. We had a total of 19 amazing porters on our team. They really are the kindest, most considerate and hard-working people I have had the honour of meeting. Nothing was too much trouble. They had such a big team looking after just five of us embarking on the hike.
Nothing was spared and they really went above and beyond. All we had to worry about was putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. They carried most of our gear. We only had to carry our daypacks. They set up our lovely tents and the rest of the camp. Chef cooked us the most delicious hot meals three times a day, every day. I honestly don't know how he did it! The lovely Emmanuel served us all of our meals in the mess tent, woke us up every morning with a coffee in our tent, brought us hot water to wash every morning and evening. They did a medical check on us every morning and evening, which gave us all peace of mind.
They thought of every detail, with Thomas taking the time and care to clean our boots when we got to camp, greeting us with refreshing tropical juice. Despite their tough working, they were all so friendly, kind and patient with us. They shared their knowledge about the local wildlife and zones of the mountain we were in. The brilliant DJ John kept us going with vast array of tunes.
Undoubtedly, I would not have made it to Stella Point if I did not have this incredible team. Their phenomenal encouragement and guidance got me to the peak. And I am so delighted we made it. It was a truly magical experience and I feel so fortunate to have reached the Roof of Africa with this wonderful team.
Climbing Kilimanjaro was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. It can be overwhelming to choose which company to go with as there appears to be so much online. I would have no hesitation in recommending Eco Africa Climbing. Firstly, they are a KPAP-registered company, meaning they treat their porters fairly. This was one of my major concerns when researching companies. They are actually based in Moshi, and not a big international company. When speaking with many of the different members of the team, they all had only positive things to say about their company and were very proud to be members of Eco Africa. They were very transparent about everything.
Choose Eco Africa Climbing if you want to have a truly incredible experience in Kilimanjaro and support the local hard-working people who will go the extra mile for you.

Thank you for a wonderful experience for both safari and Mt.Kili Climb
We had a truly wonderful and pleasant experience with this local company. Our 7-day safari was nothing short of magical. Our guide, Josephat, was phenomenal—he knew exactly where to find the animals we were hoping to see and made every moment enjoyable with his warm personality and deep knowledge of the wildlife.
When my daughter missed her flight, the company owner, Fredrick, went above and beyond. He was incredibly understanding and arranged a reliable driver to pick her up and bring her safely to our resort. That level of care and flexibility meant the world to us.
Later, my daughter and I embarked on a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Gasper, and the entire crew were absolutely amazing. They supported us every step of the way, showing genuine care and helping us achieve our dream of reaching the summit. We are forever grateful for their dedication and encouragement.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic, safe, and memorable experience in Tanzania. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our journey truly special.
Very reasonably priced compared to other companies..

Great team and great experience
We just finished a fantastic Kilimanjaro trek with Eco Africa. We did the Lemosho 8 day route, and with the help of the amazing team, and our guides Onesmo and John, we both successfully summited. Eco Africa was incredibly easy to deal with from the beginning, with Fredrick being clear and consistent to communicate with. As for the team on the mountain, we are so grateful for all their help, their smiles, positive attitude and strength (literally, carrying 20kg of stuff each) day after day. They felt like a family and this helped us push through. David, the chef, did an amazing job catering for us being vegan and we were blown away by the food! Pizza, pancakes, pasta, porridge, salads, fresh fruit, amongst so many other things. The food was nutritious and there was always plenty so we were always full. Special mention also to Emanuel, our waiter, and Junie who helped us on the summit night. Another bonus was they set up a portable toilet and tent at each camp site which was great. I would highly recommend this company!
Warm-Hearted Team and Great Memories with Eco Africa – Kilimanjaro and Safari
Choosing Eco Africa Climbing and Safari was really the best decision for our trip to Tanzania. From the very beginning, we felt warmly welcomed, perfectly looked after, and supported by a professional and very kind team.
We are from Switzerland and had an absolutely unforgettable experience. We climbed Kilimanjaro via the Northern Circuit in 8 days, and everything was perfectly organized and adjusted to our needs. A huge thank you to our amazing guides Onesmo and John, our cook David, and the strong and always smiling porters – Vincent, Emanuel, Thomas, Jonas, Philemon, Okini, Davis, Mussa, Richard, Ramadan, Thorsten – you made this adventure possible! The food on the mountain was outstanding, especially considering the altitude and circumstances. We had requested a fully vegan menu, and David managed to create delicious, varied, and nutritious meals every day – it was fantastic.
After the climb, we went on a 4-day safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. It was another highlight, and we saw an incredible variety of animals. Our safari guide and driver Joseph was knowledgeable, attentive, and very committed. When we had a problem with the car, he immediately organized that we could continue the day with another group, and by the next morning the vehicle was already repaired. It was all taken care of in such a good way that we always felt comfortable and in good hands.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Eco Africa Climbing and Safari to everyone – not only for their excellent service and warm-hearted team, but also to support a truly local Tanzanian company.
