Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures

Very professional local operation.

Our 6-day Marangu Route climb with Taste of Kilimanjaro was an incredible experience from start to finish. Submitting Kili was life changing and we clearly chose the best company.

Edwin, the local manager, was attentive to every detail and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. From the moment we arrived, everything felt organized and seamless. The hotel before and after the climb was excellent — hot showers and cold beer were exactly what we needed to bookend the adventure.

Our lead guide, Daniel Kitaa was truly outstanding. He was knowledgeable, patient, and brought such a positive energy to the mountain. We shared plenty of laughs while also learning so much over the course of six days. His experience and calm leadership made a huge difference.

Assistant guide Kojia was equally impressive — well-versed on the route and fully capable of stepping into the lead when needed. The guiding team worked together flawlessly.

Everest, our waiter, had the most infectious smile and was constantly attentive to our needs. Daniel (Babu), our cook, somehow created incredible meals every single day despite being far from conventional kitchen conditions. We were consistently impressed — and never hungry.

We also hired a toilet porter, which I highly recommend for the Marangu Route. If you’re lucky enough to get Georgie, you’re in for some fun — he’s a great guy and added to the overall experience.

And a huge thank you to our porters — Ally, Said, and Alfred. Their strength, grit, and resilience were remarkable. We truly could not have done it without them.

If you’re considering Kilimanjaro, this team will take exceptional care of you every step of the way. Highly recommend.
