A Life-Changing Kilimanjaro Experience with Incredible Africa Adventures!
5/5

Words cannot fully express our gratitude for choosing Incredible Africa Adventures for our Kilimanjaro hike. The journey itself was breathtaking, but what made it truly extraordinary was the incredible team that accompanied us every step of the way.

Our guides, Onesmo and Calvin, were more than just leaders—they made our trek fun, engaging, and educational. They shared their deep knowledge of the mountain, culture, and even gave us a Swahili lesson, making the experience even more immersive.

The support team was beyond exceptional. Our waiter, Mathew, ensured we always had hot water, delicious meals, and full water bottles—all while greeting us with a warm smile. Elia, our chef, worked wonders, serving meals that felt like they came straight from a five-star restaurant, even at high altitude!

The porters and tent crew were the unsung heroes of the journey, ensuring our comfort and making everything run smoothly. Their dedication and hospitality were simply unmatched.

This experience was truly the best in every aspect, and we wholeheartedly recommend Incredible Africa Adventures to anyone dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond, look no further—you’re in the best hands!

Truly incredible and perfectly organized experience
5/5

We booked the 7 day Mount Meru & Safari trip with Incredible Africa Adventures, and from the first contact on everything was perfect.

Octavian answered all our emails and questions promptly and with unfailing patience and enthusiasm, and he was there to welcome us at the airport. During our stay, he supported us in all the ways he could, and made sure that we had the experience of a lifetime. He always kept us informed about the next steps, what to expect, what to do and organized and provided a truly awesome trip for us. BIG THANK YOU to Octavian for making this trip as a whole so smooth and easy for us!!!

The Mount Meru climb was an incredible adventure in itself. We chose the 4-day option and enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide Raphael was amazing, supporting us with his skills, knowledge and humor all the way to the summit. Our summit crew was great, and despite the hard climb we really enjoyed ourselves on the way up and down. Our amazing porters were doing a great job, and we are very much impressed by their strength and the good mood they always kept!

The safari was the second part of our trip, and we managed to get a very close look at some of the Big 5 animals, like lions and elephants. Our guide Chris shared his knowledge and facts and fun parts about the different animals we saw, and the three days in three different national parks passed by too quickly!

The food was delicious throughout the whole trip, thanks to our chef Stephen. We asked for a vegan menu and our expectations were exceeded many times over. From a delicious porridge at breakfast to different stews, salads and veggie combinations for lunch and dinner, to the amazing fresh fruits (all carried up to the mountain during our hike!!!), we did not miss a single thing.

There is not a single thing we would change and nothing we can complain about. It was indeed an Incredible Africa Adventure for us, and all we can say is ASANTE SANA to Octavian, Raphael, Chris, Stephen and the rest of the crew!

Everything was organized to its perfection!
5/5

We booked the 7 day Mount Meru and Safari experience with Incredible Africa Adventures and we couldn’t be happier to have done so!

Octavian always answered all of our emails so fast and detailed, that made the organization so easy and we always felt in good hands!

Everything was so smooth from the moment he picked us up from the airport in the middle of the night until sending us off to Zanzibar!

Mount Meru: our guide Raphael, chef Stephen, waiter Jonathan, summit porters Baraka and Silon and the other 2 porters were the most amazing crew for the hike accompanying us with their passion, all time best mood, support, every-time attention to its smallest details, we truly felt so taken care of!! We asked for vegan food and our expectations were exceeded by far! I am so jealous of Stephen’s cooking skills!!

Safari: our guide Chris took us for the safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire and managed to find us very close animal encounters while explaining us all the details about these amazing animals!
We had the pleasure and luck to bring our amazing chef along once more!

Incredible Africa Adventures is a small local team that share their passion and enthusiasm about their own country!

It was such a pleasure to spend the time with the team, we had a true blast! There is nothing else to say then THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

My friend and I did the 7-day Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route followed by the 2-day Short & Sweet Safari.

Both experiences were better than I could have imagined! Booking was really easy and communication was fast through email as well as Whatsapp with Octavian.

We were able to pay a deposit through bank transfer to secure our reservation and the rest in person in cash but you can do credit card as well for a fee.

Octavian picked my friend and I up at the airport and took us to our accommodation which was a really cute and comfortable Lodge. Great services including laundry service and delicious food!

Our tour group met us at the lodge the day of the hike and did a ceremony for us to get us pumped up for the hike with dancing and singing. We all rode together in a van to the trailhead.

The food that was offered was catered to out dietary needs (pescatarian/no dairy) and was sooo good! Fresh fruit, veggies, juice, and even some fish!

The crew was very energetic and friendly throughout the entire experience. Our guides were Rafael and Ester. Both very encouraging the whole way through. We felt very safe with them. Rafael was able to each us about the mountain ecology and point out some unique animals to the area. We really appreciated having a female assistant guide (Ester) as well - being two female hikers. The porters went the extra mile (pun intended) to backtrack and take our packs from us on the final stretches to each camp.

The crew was able to accommodate our hiking abilities and needs by altering the route slightly towards the end of the trip. We shortened the trip by a day to be able to summit a little later in the morning because my friend doesn't do well with cold weather. Our guides were very careful with us as we reached the summit, making sure we were safe and encouraging us along the way.

The 2 day Safari was also incredible! I almost wish we could have stayed longer but we were pretty tired after the hike. If you have time, consider an extra day or two of rest at the lodge in between! Octavian also took us out to buy souvenirs during our day off in between the hike and safari!

Our guide Joe for the safari was so nice and he pointed out allll of the birds for my friend and I. He also was extra careful when driving to avoid getting extra dust in the car because we were struggling with allergies on the trip! We had the same amazing chef for the hike and the safari (Matthew).

I would definitely recommend Incredible Africa Adventures for your trip!
The list of what to bring on the website is very accurate and I had everything I needed. If you have any questions just ask the company ahead of time! They will look at all your gear when you arrive to make sure you have what you need but it may be good to check in ahead of time!
