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.

Uhuru peak with Taste of Kilimanjaro, a dream come true
Our trip to the top of Kilimanjaro was planned by our son (23) for myself (62), my wife (61) and him. He communicated with a lot of companies, and selected Taste of Kilimanjaro. We don't know other companies, but it would be difficult to beat this one. Edwin is incredibly nice and responsive, everything happened exactly as we were told, so our expectations were met and so much more. The day before the climb, Edwin and our lead guide, Chewu, showed up at our hotel and very carefully checked all the gear items for each of us. Chewu was incredibly meticulous, leaving nothing to chance. We ended up renting a few additional items, it would have been possible to rent everything, in fact, but we had brought most of our stuff. The next day we started for the northern route (9 days). It was not easy, as I am not particularly fit, but every day turned out to be fabulous. Half way through the hikes, in the middle of nowhere, we would find a table set up with tablecloth, tea coffee and snacks. We were treated like royalty. Tents and meals were outstanding. The day of the final climb is super difficult, there is no way around it. The two guides were absolutely fantastic and made sure each of us was successful. This was a dream trip, a memory of a lifetime with a top notch team. After the top, we came back down in a day and a half. Fairly easy, but hard on the thighs and knees. Be prepared for that. Overall, I could not imagine a better outfit than Taste of Kilimanjaro.

This was an amazing experience and Taste of Kilimanjaro and their excellent guides made it happen!
This was such a great experience on so many levels. It was just my husband, my son and I and the guides and porters. Communication and booking was straight forward and easy, Edwin was wonderful, the information was easily accessible, they were responsive and helpful, and the value was unbelievable. We wanted to go with a local company and so glad we did! An expedition like this though doesn’t come together without the guides and crew. Our guides Chuewa and Hatibu were top notch. I can’t say enough good things about them. Professional, experienced, and great leaders (a combination of slowing us down and pushing when needed), and they assembled the best crew of porter’s and support team I can imagine. I couldn’t have dreamed this to be a better experience at a better price. Deep gratitude to the whole team!
