Reviews
10/10 local tour company for Kilimanjaro
My husband and I had the best experience with Nafika Tours in September 2025. We did the 7 day Lemosho route for our honeymoon which was sufficiently challenging and very scenic.
We cannot stress enough the professionalism of the guides (Aloyce and Efitah), cook (Arnold), kitchen hand (Jackson) and all the porters!
Our safety was the priority of the team with daily oxygen checks and monitoring of our water. We always felt safe, well fed and comfortable.
All the tents and equipment was clean and in great condition. We were even provided with hot water to clean twice a day! Absolute luxury on the mountain.
The energy and positive vibes throughout the team was infectious and made the trip so special! Singing, sharing stories and supporting one another all the way to the top.
The food was excellent from start to finish and there was so much! Arnold even made us a cake on the mountain to congratulate us after we made it to the top.
Thank you to Elias and all the Nafika team for your professionalism and giving us the most incredible trip we’ll remember forever!

Best Local Company - 8 Days lemosho Route
We completed the 8-day Lemosho Route in mid-October this year, and the entire experience was truly one of the most incredible adventures we have ever had.
The route itself is breathtaking, with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro throughout the journey, feeling closer and closer with each passing day. However, the most special part of the trip was the people who made it all possible.
The Nafika Tours team, Inocent, Efata, Anold, and everyone involved, exceeded all our expectations. Their constant smiles, singing, and genuine care made the expedition unforgettable.
They always ensured we were well-rested, feeling good, staying hydrated, and supported every step of the way, all the way to the summit and safely back down.
With their excellent care, three freshly cooked meals a day, snacks during the hikes, carefully chosen camping spots, daily medical checks, and an atmosphere full of positive energy, we never doubted that we would reach the summit. It was clear that they truly love the mountain and take great pride in their work.
By the end of the 8 days, it felt like we had gained a family, and we are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience in Kilimanjaro with a kind guide and crew
Thanks to the kind guides and crew, we were able to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Although it was my first time at such a high mountain, we were able to enjoy our trip safely and thanks to the guide who maintained our pace appropriately and led the way, the chef who prepared nutritious and delicious meals every day, the staff who pitched the tent for us to relax, and the porters and other crew members who relieved our burden.
As a local travel agency, I was truly satisfied with the affordable prices and friendly service, and I hope more people will create memories with this travel agency.
Thank you for making such great memories.

Four trips with Nafika 😎
We completed four trips with the Nafika tours: a safari, a trip to waterfalls, a climb on Mt. Meru and a climb on Kilimanjaro.
Taking part in the Kilimanjaro expedition was one of the best experiences of my life. The entire trip was extremely well organized – from the first contact all the way to the safe return down. The guides were amazing: professional, patient, and encouraging, with detailed knowledge of the route and local conditions. Each day they explained what to expect, monitored our acclimatization, and made safety their priority.
The camp accommodation was surprisingly comfortable, the food was excellent, and the porter team worked with incredible dedication. The pace was set just right – “pole pole” 🥾 Summit day was challenging, but with the team’s support and the great atmosphere, it became an unforgettable moment.
I highly recommend these expeditions with Nafika tours to anyone looking for adventure, beautiful views, and a strong sense of personal achievement. A perfect experience from start to finish! 🌄💪

CHOOSING A NAFIKA WAS THE BEST DECISION
As a couple, we took part in four adventures with the Natika agency.
1) a safari,
2) visit to the waterfalls combined with a coffee tasting,
3) hike3days hike up Mt. Meru peak,
4) 7days hike to Kilimanjaro via Lemosho.
With the team’s support, warm atmosphere and attentive care, we successfully reached both peaks.
WHAT WAS DIFFERENT.
- individual approach to clients,
- what was agreed upon was valid,
- everything went smoothly and on time
- tents of Nafika were larger than those of other groups in the camps,
- services were more extensive than those of other agencies,
-the overall service exceeded our expectations and the level of European standards.
I want to give special thanks to our cook, who—despite our very strict diet caused by a food allergy—still managed to create a wonderful variety of tasty meals. Our appreciation also goes to the porters and, above all, to our guide, Innocent, who adjusted perfectly to our pace and even to our habit of listening to music. We felt truly comfortable with him throughout both climbs.

Kilimanjaro Summit with the best team!
Climbing Kilimanjaro was one of the most enjoyable and safest experiences I have ever had, thanks to the wonderful guides, chef, and support team from Nafika Tours. They took care of us from start to finish. The tents, meals, and rental gear were all excellent, and the team made us feel very safe with regular health checks and first-aid whenever needed. We were even served tea and coffee in our tents each morning, such a lovely touch!
The food prepared by Anold was absolutely delicious. We were always well fed, full of energy, and never hungry. Our summit guides and porters kept our spirits high by singing almost the entire way up, creating the most positive and uplifting atmosphere. It truly felt like one big family.
You can see how much every team member cares about giving you the best possible experience. I highly recommend Nafika Tours for an unforgettable Kilimanjaro adventure.

Wonderful Kiliamanjaro experience!
We had the most wonderful time an experience we will cherish forever. Our whole group felt so grateful for the amazing team who supported us. The porters, guides, waiter, and chef were all incredibly warm, caring, and dedicated. They went far beyond anything we expected.
The hike was beautifully organized, and we felt safe and well-looked-after throughout the entire journey. It was such a treat to enjoy delicious hot meals for lunch and dinner, and waking up to hot coffee delivered right to our tent made each morning feel special. The food was absolutely amazing!
Thank you, Nafika Tours, a truly outstanding local company, for giving us such a wonderful team and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We highly recommend them.

They are reliable, professional and extremely caring.
I recently completed the Lemosho Route with Nafika Tours and I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organised, and handled with such care. Elias was very responsive and reliable in communication prior, and I felt really well prepared before arriving in Tanzania.
Our guides (Meshack and Calvin) were exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always prioritising safety. We had regular health checks, oxygen available, and they set a great pace to help acclimatise. The porters were absolutely amazing — so hardworking and always smiling, creating such a positive atmosphere every day (special thanks to Williad and Oswad who really went above and beyond).
The food was delicious and exceeded all expectations thanks to our amazing Chef, Saidi — the food was fresh, varied, and exactly what we needed to keep our energy up. They even went above and beyond to help me celebrate my birthday in the most special way. I reached the summit to a personalised birthday sign with my name and a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne! And if that wasn’t enough, they surprised me again by making a birthday cake. I felt so celebrated and cared for. I even got a bit sick during the climb, but the team looked after me with ginger and honey tea and lots of reassurance.
The only small issue was that our sleeping bags weren’t warm enough at first — but as soon as we mentioned it, they arranged additional ones right away.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and Nafika Tours helped make it unforgettable. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were amazing. If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro, Nafika will take amazing care of you every step of the way! 🏔✨

Adventure and humanity combined, special memories made!
didn't have an idea of what to expect, I was blown away by Nafika team coordination and dedication to their guests.
I will break my review into the following aspects;
1. Cordial Reception- starting from the pick up-timely, had the best drivers, picked the best hotel- with lots of activities, food and rest.
2. Care- Nafika tours team puts the clients needs, safety and best interest at heart. I thought gear check was a joke! Until they meticulously ensured all my gear was good and I had everything on the packing list.
The care extended even while hiking, our guides would ensure we take our time in acclimatizing to the high altitudes by monitoring our health and ensuring we eat, drink and rest well.
3. Guides & Porters - We had the best guides Walter & Albert, their constant encouragement to go Pole pole!, sippy sippy and drinks drinky was so so energizing. Their experience, songs and stories made everyday easier for us.
The porters & best Chefs- Peter, J4, Nelson, Alex, Judica, Samuel, Husein and Honest. These guys made mountain climbing look so easy. Walking very first with grace, carrying out stuff with so much care and love and always arriving before us despite us leaving earlier and picking the best spot with network reception at each camp!
Their warm welcome and smiles at the campsite with a dust brush, hot towel to wash and hot 5 star hotel food was always a pleasure to look forward to.
4. Client support - the best client support award goes to Nafika tours team, in general I would always recommend them in Kilimanjaro tours and all other tours in Tanzania. They have the heart for adventure and make lasting memories and connections with their clients!
Looking for value for your money 💰, Nafika Tours is your company!
Once a you board a Nafika tours trip, you will keep wanting more and more trips with them!

My Wonderful Experience with Nafika Tours!
I contacted Nafika Tours for my Kilimanjaro climb in June 2025, and from my very first call, my experience with them has been absolutely incredible.
Even before booking, they patiently answered all my questions, cleared every doubt, and made sure I felt confident and comfortable about what I was about to do.
While I was preparing, shopping, and getting ready for my trip, Nafika Tours continued to guide me every step of the way. This meant a lot to me as a solo traveler embarking on her first mountain adventure.
From the moment I landed in Tanzania to the time Nafika Tours dropped me off after my climb, everything was perfectly arranged.
The hotel they provided before and after the hike was excellent clean, cozy, and comfortable.
The briefing before the hike was clear and motivating, and the dream team on the mountain made my journey unforgettable. My guide was amazing patient, encouraging, and truly the reason I made it to the summit. The food on the mountain was surprisingly delicious, and every member of the Nafika Tours team made me feel safe, cared for, and completely at ease throughout the trek.
The tents and gear provided were of great quality and kept me comfortable during the climb.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or go on a safari in Tanzania.
As a solo female traveler and someone with no hiking experience, they made my dream come true and in the most beautiful way possible. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and I’m beyond grateful to everyone at Nafika Tours for making it happen.
