Among too many tour companies for Kilimanjaro climbing, I was very lucky to choose Kisambi Tours and to meet the main guide Matty, the assistant guide Joseph, the cook, and the porters!
Compared to other major companies , Kisambi’s price was so low that honestly I worried if they really came to pick me up at the Airport. However, the e-mails before the departure was very smooth, their advice was so exact and credible, I decided to trust them.
Unlike many other big groups, they didn't offer a fancy "tea party" with a tablecloth on a terrace along the way, nor any unnecessarily luxurious meals or champagne. But they had sophisticated strategy and strong supportive power for reaching Uhuru Peak. In details, the timing of meals, the weather strategy, the pacing according to the clients' abilities and so on. They were so professional in every aspect.
If you want to experience Kilimanjaro purely as a mountaineering, I highly recommend climbing with Matty. He even offers winter Kilimanjaro climbs and a variation hiking route camping in crater and climbing directly to tje Uhuru peak.
There are true mountain enthusiasts in Tanzania!
Thank you so much!
Of the many companies available, I chose Kisambi Tours, and I was truly fortunate to have met main guide Matty, subguide Joseph, the cook, and the porters!
Compared to other companies, the price was so low that I was honestly a little worried. However, the pre-departure communication was so smooth and the advice so accurate that I decided to trust them.
Unlike many other companies, there was no tea ceremony with tablecloths on the terrace along the way, or any unnecessarily extravagant food or champagne, but
they were professional in every way, from their sophisticated strategy for reaching Uhuru Peak to the food, weather, and pacing the climbers according to their ability.
If you want to experience Kilimanjaro purely as a mountain, I recommend climbing with Matty. He said he can accommodate climbing Kilimanjaro in the dead of winter, or a short variation route to the summit with an overnight stay at Okama!
It turns out there are mountaineers in Tanzania too!! Thank you very much.

Good local company
I would recommend Kisambi as a local tour guide for Kilimanjaro and Safari.
It feels good that the money goes directly to a local company with local employees.
The management and tour guides were excellent at communication and leadership.

It was an extraordinary experience.
The management was able to make visiting arrangements in time as it was during the festive season. We were well received and explained to about the areas and places of visit. During the tour, the guides were well versed with the area and one could just feel free and comfortable.
During the visit we learned many things of a different culture and the foods were awesome.
The charges were pocket friendly and I recommend Kisambi Tours to those who need a quiet, hospitable and worth visiting areas.
Would wish to visit again in the near future with more of my friends.
