Wonderful people for a fantastic holiday
A great emotion, the one I experienced on June 15th at 6:12 in the morning, when I reached Uhuru Peak, the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Five days of ascent, to reach those 5895m, done every now and then with the doubt of not being able to make it, of being overcome by altitude sickness. But, pole pole (slowly in Swahili) we arrived to enjoy the dawn of a new day and, why not, of a new me.
All of this would not have been possible without the fantastic Eco Africa Climbing Team. A group of guys who made us feel part of a family from day one, people always available to help with any difficulty or need. Throughout the trek they spoiled us with abundant and always different meals, which was certainly not easy for them from a logistical point of view. Every time we reached the camp they were ready to wait for us with hot tea and the tent ready, even when the weather conditions were not the most favorable. They always supported us morally with songs and dances and this too certainly helped us achieve our goal. Each of them deserves a big THANK YOU, with the hope of being able to meet them again in the future for a new adventure.
Thanks also go to Fredrick for all the availability shown in supporting us with the transfers and for having changed the Safari program at the last moment to allow us to take our return flight, without giving up anything of our adventure.

Incredible company, taking all our needs into consideration to make an incredible trip
Last February , my husband and I recently embarked on an unforgettable journey with Eco-Africa, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. Our adventure included the exhilarating climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro followed by an awe-inspiring 4-day safari, making it a dream come true for both of us.
The heart of our expedition was undoubtedly the expertise and dedication of our guides, Alex and George. From the moment we set foot on the trail to the summit of Kilimanjaro, these two individuals proved to be not only knowledgeable and experienced but also incredibly attentive to our needs.
Alex and George's guidance played a pivotal role in making our ascent safe, enjoyable, and memorable. Their wealth of knowledge about the terrain, wildlife, and local culture enhanced our overall experience, providing us with valuable insights and anecdotes that made the journey even more enriching.
One of the highlights of our trip was the outstanding quality of meals provided throughout the journey. Despite being on a challenging hike, the culinary team at Eco-Africa, managed to deliver delicious and nourishing meals that exceeded our expectations. I am a vegetarian, and they were able to accommodate me.
What truly sets Eco-Africa apart is their genuine concern for the health and well-being of their clients. We felt supported and cared for throughout the adventure. Their consistent check-ins ensured that we were acclimating well to the altitude, addressing any concerns promptly and with expertise.
Capping off our journey with a 4-day safari was the perfect way to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Africa's wildlife. The safari experience, like the climb, was expertly organized, and we felt a strong connection to nature throughout.
Embarking on a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro and experiencing a safari has always been on our bucket list, and Eco-Africa, not only made it possible but exceeded our expectations in every way. Their commitment to providing an exceptional and safe adventure is truly commendable, and we wholeheartedly recommend Eco-Africa to anyone seeking an unparalleled experience in the heart of Africa.
Thank you, Eco-Africa, for making our dream adventure a reality, and a special thanks to Alex and George for being extraordinary guides on this incredible adventure!

Couldn't ask for more
Everyone at Eco-Africa was absolutely amazing. Freddy made the booking process easy and pain free and Onesmo was the best guide anyone could have. The level of care taken by the entire team was top notch. I was the solo climber on this trip and instead of the team treating me like a client, they treated me as family. I am truly honored to have been able to share this journey with them.
Amazing people, amazing company, amazing experience!
We did a seven day Kilimanjaro climb on Machame Route and a four day safari to Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Tarangire. Eco-Africa took care of all the details. The climbing guides and Kili fighters (porters) were so kind, helpful and motivating. We are vegan and the food they provided was incredible. I didn’t need any of the “just in case” food I packed for myself. The safari guides were also kind, funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. We saw so many animals and birds. We will be reliving and sharing this experience with friends and family for years to come. Thank you to everyone at Eco-Africa for making us feel like part of the family. We would recommend this company to anyone considering a climb or safari!

Amazing trip of a LIFETIME!!!
Our trip with Eco Africa was absolutely amazing. We completed the Kilimanjaro climb via the 7-day Machame route, followed by 4 days of Safari at Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park.
Eco Africa took care of EVERYTHING for us, absolutely seamlessly. This included transit from airport to hotel, pre-trek briefing, getting to the mountain, all aspects of trekking Kilimanjaro (including 3 meals of AMAZING food daily with various dietary restrictions), transition from mountain back to civilization, and every aspect of the safari.
Kilimanjaro Trek: we could not have been asked for better guides, chefs, and Kili Fighters. They were all so knowledgable, experienced, cooperative, and motivational. We would not have been able to peak Kili without their amazing support.
Safari: our safari guide, trainee guide, vehicle, and accommodations were all second-to-none. We were so impressed with the knowledge and experience of our safari guide who found us the Big 5 throughout our trip in addition to HUNDREDS of other animals. He was so passionate and knowledgable about the animals (not to mention the parks and local customs). He seamlessly got us to and from each park, got us fed each day, and got us to our nightly accommodations which were spectacular.
Eco Africa gave us the trip of a lifetime, and we truly could not have asked for a better company to help us see all of the beauty Tanzania has to offer.

OUTSTANDING!!!
Eco-Africa was OUTSTANDING!!! They are great at it all - preparation, logistics, communication, professionalism, kindness and providing us a trip of a lifetime! Our safari guide was a wealth of knowledge about not only the big animals, but also the small animals, the environment and the birds! It was an honor to support a local company and to receive such wonderful service from the moment we stepped off the plane! Lastly, four people in our group were vegan and they accommodated us with ease! I would recommend them to everyone!

Experience of a Lifetime- Truly Unforgettable!
Eco-Africa Climbing welcomed me to Tanzania like family and created many unforgettable moments for me on Killimanjaro, Safari, Making coffee with the Chaga tribe, visiting with the Maasai Tribe and swimming in the most beautiful Hot Springs.
Eco Africa was so incredible from the start with clear communication, and lots of information for me to best prepare to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
As a single woman traveling a lone I was a little nervous but was met with smiles and so much warmth at the airport and felt taken care of the entire time I was in Tanzania.
My experience on the mountain was truly remarkable due to my amazing Guide Alex and incredible team of check and porters. Everyday my team woke me up with hot tea and water to wash the most amazing breakfast you could imagine and c lear plan for the hiking, elevation changes and oxygen check. The team of porters were so incredible, warm, hard working efficient and organized and would meet us for another expertly cooked lunch and dinner every night. Eco Africas Team and Leadership allow you to just wake up an have the best day f your life everyday- they take care of everything!
I couldn't recommend more- they are knowledgable, flexible, welcoming, professional and simply amazing- thank you SO much for a trip of a lifetime!

The Trek of a Lifetime
Our Eco-Africa experience of trekking/climbing Kilimanjaro started even before we arrived with the complete, detailed instructions given us about everything we needed to bring and the answering of our many questions by Fredrick. They were waiting to pick us up from JRO airport when we arrived the night before our trek started, and they transported us to a beautiful and clean hotel that welcomed us for the nights stay with hibiscus tea. After an included tasty hotel breakfast, at 8:00am the following morning, our trek guides arrived and did a thorough check of our gear to make sure we were ready. We were able to store our extra luggage and even our extra money for secure keeping with the attentive, friendly staff at the Panama Garden hotel during the 9 days and 8 nights of our northern route climb.
We were then driven with our guides to the Eco Africa headquarters where we were treated to a fresh tropical fruit snack and regaled and welcomed with the "Kilimanjaro songs" sung for us by our entire team, including our guides, our cook and our porters. Then we settled in for about a 3 hour drive to the Kilimanjaro northern park entrance, where the guides took care of getting our paper work done for the National Park, and our cook prepared us a sumptuous hot lunch before we started the hike to Mti Mkubwa, our first campsite.
I can't say enough how much I appreciated the team that supported us for our climb and their abilities, and I reflected many times during our 9 days of trekking how I never could have made it to the summit without their daily assistance. Each day after arriving at a new camp, we were treated with a wash basin with spiced hot water and washcloth to wipe the dust off our faces and hands, and our tents were already set up with the thick sleeping pads provided by Eco Africa in place in the tents along with our duffel bags. Every day at every spot on the mountain we had a hot breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared for us by the amazing King, our cook, and served for us in the dining tent! One of our excellent guides always came in during a meal and was available for us to ask questions about our upcoming itinerary, or just to share conversation. There was always more food than we could eat, and not once did we have a "box lunch" or sandwiches.
Special appreciation is due our guides, Abu, Israel and our lead guide Rafael. Their leadership, experience and knowledge made me feel safe and secure. We learned daily from them many practical and interesting things during the trek.
