A great experience
I am really grateful for the communication with Almighty Kilimanjaro and Rasheedy from the get-go as I got all the information I needed about the trip right from the start and this helped me in planning what I needed for each day of the climb. Though there was frustration regarding getting my referral visa, it turned out okay as I did not need to apply as early as the embassy website noted and it turned out that Almighty Kilimanjaro's timing for sending me the documents I needed wasn't late after all. Rasheedy was always responsive when I asked questions and that's appreciated as well.
Now for the actual climb, meeting the team was great and everyone was always extremely friendly (especially since I ended up being the only one for the climb, I definitely felt a ton of attention, which I may not be so used to but everyone was doing their job at the end of the day so I'm grateful for that). Emmanuel was an attentive lead guide who seemed to know his stuff and pointed out interesting facts, flora (not so much fauna out there over this period) and much more. He also made sure we always left early and beat the crowds, which made everything much easier. Joseph, the assistant guide, was always super friendly, constantly smiling and helpful. Evans, the chef, was always enviably calm and also friendly, which I really admired. Always great to watch him swiftly move from cooking one dish to the next. I just feel bad I couldn't eat much as we got higher and I definitely wish I had all that delicious food now that I am back on the ground. Babelu (waiter) was always respectful and always helpful even when I got grouchy when things got harder for me and Daudi, Michael & Bam (porters) were amazing all through, though I couldn't speak to them as much due to the language barrier. Sadly, Michael had to leave a bit early due to problems at home, hope all is well now.
All in all, without this team and their support, I never would have made it to the top especially in the last 3 days when aches and pains starting creeping up from everywhere. Only thing I'd say is maybe for my peace of mind, it might have been good to take my oxygen levels twice a day. I understand that the lead guide was not too worried about me because he knows his stuff and could tell I would be fine based on my symptoms and since I was the only one, he knew more about how I was feeling on a daily basis compared to people in groups; but seeing those levels too may have made this clear to me as well instead of imagining all sorts in my head as we often do when we are faced with new challenges. But all's well that ends well and since I did get checked a number of times during the trip, I am sure if I had just asked for more checks to calm my mind, the team would definitely be fine with that. So it's just a matter of good communication.
I'm really happy I made it to the top with Almighty Kilimanjaro and look forward to my next Safari adventure with them.

Excellent Kilimanjaro Hiking Experience
An excellent experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro. We did the 7 day Machame route with them in December 2021. They work with your pace and make sure you are comfortable with the services. The tents and food services are basic but very decent. The support team is extremely attentive during the hike and try their best to make things comfortable for you. Rasheedy (Owner) is extremely responsive and will answer any query you may have about the trip. A special shout out to the guides William and Emanuel who went above and beyond to make sure that we succeed in reaching the top. They are possibly the best guides on the route.
Highly Recommended!!!
Mount Kilimanjaro Climb
Almighty Kilimanjaro did a great job planning and organizing our trek. From airport pickup till when we were dropped off again at the airport to carryon with the rest of our trip. We had a team of 10 people; 2 tour guides, 6 porters, a chef and chefs assistant. Each person on the team made us and our safety a priority. Our tour guides, Innocent and Dianna were very patient and encouraging throughout the climb which made it very comfortable for us. And we had a liaison, Ralph who did an excellent job executing our itinerary and along with Innocent, showing us around town and introducing us to the culture!
The only suggestion for improvement I have is to provide a bit more variety to the food choices we had.
Great experience overall and would absolutely recommend them!

Great 3 Day Safari!
We took a 3 day Safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara & Tarangire National Park. Rashid was great with communicating with us about the details and arranging everything. The guide was awesome and made the experience great! The camping arrangement were comfortable and the meals were all very good as well. I would highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro.

Great experience
Our guide Jo did a great job getting us to and from parks, made sure we are comfortable and safe. With his knowledge of the parks and species we were able to see not only Big Five, but pretty much all the animals of Tanzania! All the accommodations at the parks were very nice and comfortable. We were very happy!
The company unethical, and money grabbing. Porters and guide great.
From the outside this company appears great, underneath the surface though is a different picture. Despite the porters and the guide being fantastic on the mountain it was overshadowed by the companies ethics, which is very much built on cutting corners. Low customer service once money was in their back pocket. Late picking me up for transfer to airport consequently missing flight, with no real apology. Trying to get refund on lost money almost impossible.
The price for the trip seems reasonable, but I guess you get what you pay for. Poor customer service, unethical, and cash grabbers. I'm sure to many this company gets away with being the real deal, don't be fooled! Choose a company that is ethical and doing it the right way.
Amazing hike with Almighty Kilimanjaro
My partner and I celebrated our 39th birthdays by climbing Kilimanjaro with Almighty Kilimanjaro despite this pandemic and it was the most incredible experience of our lives. The communication leading up to our trek with Almghty Kilimanjaro team was supportive and informative, they anticipated all our needs, even with flight changes that wasn't informed of until a few days before.
The guides we had - Justine and Lino - I recommend them thoroughly!!! Without their support, friendly attitudes, knowledge, preparedness and great conversation we would not have made it to the top. They truly care about their climbers and want you to succeed, which we both did.
Everyone in our team were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food our chef cooked was some of the best food we've ever had. The things they are able to cook at those altitudes and with minimal cooking supplies is incredible. Having pizza at 4,800m will definitely be a memory we won't forget. We would do the climb again just for the exceptional food alone.
In addition to this, our team surprised us on the 3rd night with a birthday cake and non-alcoholic sparkling wine and sang us happy birthday to celebrate the occasion. We were truly speechless at this gesture, and that someone carried these extra items for 3 days. It was so thoughtful and unexpected.
If you are looking for a remarkable experience and a successful climb with a reliable and safe company, definitely climb with Almighty Kilimanjaro. If you can request guides, absolutely request Justice and Limo. We cannot thank you all enough for everything that made our climb successful and incredibly special.

6 Days migration safari
A huge thank you to Almighty Kilimanjaro for the incredible and unforgettable safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro for our anniversary. Simon our guide and new found friend made this trip special filled with great memories. He is well versed with anything and everything we asked about Tanzania or the animals. His careful driving kept us going trough muddy tracks deep to Ndutu where an incredible spectacle was happening. We were in the middle of thousands of wildebeest calving! I recommend the the complete package of safari and accommodations because enjoyed the same high standard on our trip all through.

I could not have asked for a better team
4 of us assisted by 14 member team from Almighty Kilimanjaro climbed Mt. Killi using 7 day Machame route. Our guides Innocent and Saidy assisted by chef Muniri and porters Sam, John, others went over and beyond to keep us comfortable, calm and educated all through the hike. They took care of us from the time we landed to the end of the trip, paying close attention to every detail. Adam the driver and Saidy the administrator were so awesome. The whole team of Almighty Kilimanjaro are top class and they show they really care of their clients. Love their team and highly recommend them.
Once in a lifetime experience
Our Safari tour in the Serengeti was one of the most amazing experiences we have had in our life. It would not have happened without Almighty Kilimanjaro. They organized most memorable trip for us which surpassed all our expectations.
Our tour guide Bernad was absolutely wonderful, he is a very experienced, professional, and reliable person. He is someone you can trust, great driver with an excellent eye for spotting and finding animals in the wild.
We got to see breathtaking wildlife scenes and animals - lioness with three cubs eating their pray, elephants protecting their young ones from lions, wildebeest crossing Mara river, pride of six lions moving past our car early morning on their way to hunt...We also saw rhinos, massive crocodiles and hippos.
Thanks again Bernad for perfect trip!
I would definitely recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro to everyone planning to do Safari in Tanzania and we will for sure use them again in the future
Thank you Rasheedy for your professionalism, great responsiveness and organization of our tailor made tour from Zanzibar
