Great experience, great team
When we decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, we wanted to go with a local Tanzanian company. Our research led us to Kiliclimb, and we were very happy with our experience with the Kiliclimb Team. There was friendly, helpful, concise and timely communication with Janeth as we planned our trip from afar. They created a WhatsApp group so everyone could exchange as we planned our safari and the Kilimanjaro trek. The team answered all our questions withing hours if not minutes. They also provided brief updates to my wife while we were on the trek. We met with Moses from the Kiliclimb office and Baraka, the lead guide, the day before we started our adventure who briefed us on the climb and together we looked at all our gear to ensure that we were well equipped for the climb. The next day we went from Arusha to the trailhead with the entire team (guide, assistant guide, cook, porters) and started the trek. This was a team effort and everyone on the Kiliclimb Team supported us throughout our journey. The 15 member team was great, each member focused on our safety, comfort, and wellbeing. The team’s work is very difficult, besides carrying our equipment, their equipment, the camp setup, and food/water, there was a “runner” who was off straight away every morning to ensure we would have a good place at the camps. When we arrived at the camps, our tent and a dining tent were in place. The cook and waiter ensured that we had hot drinks on the trail and when we arrived. Considering the logistics of food preparation en route, there was variety on the menu, and the meals were very good. The soups at lunch and dinner were especially good, they immediately took away the cold edge of the rainy days. They spoiled us at night with hot water bottles for our sleeping bags, this was a wonderful surprise! The guides were excellent. They provided information on the mountain, flora, weather, and history of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area. The team’s welcome to the mountain was special. The guide and the team sang call and response, which was infectious, we danced in the party atmosphere as well with others from surrounding campsites who joined the fun. We felt the genuine warmth of the Tanzanian culture from each member of the team. Considering we were caught in an early rainy season and were soaked most of the time, this never dampened the spirit of the team. The Lomosho trail was challenging and the guides ensured our safety during the ascends (and descends!) on the slippery trails and while scrambling Barranco Wall. Don’t miss kissing rock at the wall! The guides planned the climb to summit so that we arrived at sunrise; the timing was perfect. It was cold, but the sky was clear and we had panoramic views from the summit. The snow, glacier, surrounding volcanic landscape with the rising sun was surreal. The eight days helped with acclimation; we didn’t have any issues arriving at the summit. The last day was bittersweet; we were coming down (literally) and didn’t want our adventure to end. We sang and danced in the morning before we left camp, the team’s spirit carried us down the mountain. We were very happy that we went with a local company and were able to support the people of Tanzania. We appreciated the professionalism, but also the transparency of the Kiliclimb team and being able to give tips to each member of the team individually, which does not necessarily happen with other companies.
One dream, one team!
We highly recommend a trek with the Kiliclimb Team.

This is the good one.
A very good experience. I highly recommend it. The guide was able to get very close to the animals and knew every secret spot, both for finding them and for eating afterward. Moses was always checking on us to make sure we were okay. The food was very good, so we felt safe and healthy, and we felt completely taken care of. Moses gave us some lovely gifts, so it was much better than we expected. We saw many more animals than we anticipated, and without feeling scared. It was very, very good. Thank you, Kiliclimb.
A very nice experience. I fully recommend it. The guide was able to get very close to the animals and knew every hidden place to find them or even to have lunch. Moses was always checking on us to make sure we were okay. The food was very good, so we felt safe, healthy, and taken care of. Moses gave us gifts, so it was all over what we expected. We saw more animals than we ever imagined, and very close up without being afraid. Very, very nice. Thank you, Kiliclimb.

Professional and friendly.
It was our honeymoon
We took a private safari tour and it truly made the experience unforgettable. Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable — he had answers to every question, from the animals we saw to the plants and the landscape around us. It really felt like he knew the park and the nature deeply, including the best routes to take. What stood out most was how much he loved his job and how committed he was to making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. His passion made the entire safari even more special

Amazing safari supported by an amazing team
This Tanzanian Safari was one of the best experiences ever, it has been on our bucket list for a while, but we never expected it to be as good as this!
The abundance of wildlife was breathtaking, the scale and expanse of the Serengeti a sight to behold, while the serene beauty and tranquility of Ngorongoro Crater was a memory that will last forever.
But best of all was the Kiliclimb team behind this once in a lifetime experience.
Sadi our guide was an absolute star, we feel blessed to have been assigned such a warm, friendly, helpful and skilled guide. Nothing was too much for him, and he really went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed the best experience we could ever have wished for.
His ability to spot some of the more unique and elusive wildlife was verging on supernatural. His punctuality was spot on, and his experience at handling some of the rougher terrain that the Serengeti occasionally throws at you was confidence inspiring.
As if this wasn’t enough, the support from the Kiliclimb office via WhatsApp was second to none. The speed of response to any queries we had was literally minutes, sometimes even seconds! Special mention to Janeth for all her support and hard work, checking in with us on a daily basis to make sure we were happy and enjoying the safari.
The final mention goes to Ruth who was our contact in Zanzibar, and not only looked after our main luggage, but also organised our transfers.
All in all, we cannot fault the wonderful service we received from Kiliclimb, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

We just finished our amazing safari in Africa, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you to our guide Harun—he was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He took us to see so many wild animals, and shared so much interesting information about the animals and the great migration. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We also want to praise our chef Ali, who prepared delicious and carefully made meals for us every single day. The food was so good that I even gained weight after the trip!
Both of them took great care of us and always paid attention to our health and comfort throughout the journey.
This has been the most wonderful trip, and we really hope to come back next year around June or July for the great migration.
Highly recommended!

Incredible - Kiliclimb goes above and beyond
We chose Kiliclimb based on a friend's recommendation from a previous experience, and they did not disappoint. Kiliclimb delivered above and beyond expectations for our 7 day Kilimanjaro hike along the Machame route.
For our lively group of seven 30 year-olds, the 29 Kiliclimb guides, porters and staff kept our spirits up with fun, positive energy, reliable gear, and some of the best food we've ever had while camping.
Above all, the Kiliclimb team knew how to deliver results day in and day out, especially on summit day. The team held an unwavering professional and positive attitude through all conditions.
We felt very fortunate to be in their care and would strongly recommend Kiliclimb to groups looking for a lively team that's more than just a guide.
Incredible from start to finish. Kiliclimb is building a special recipe for success!
