Excellent Experience!
My Kilimanjaro tour with Nafika Tours was perfect… The guides (Innocent and Ephata) were very experienced, the porters helped a lot, everyone was so responsible and caring. Our chief (Priver) cooked very delicious food everyday, and he really knows Asians’ taste. We summited the Uhuru Peak successfully and it could not be achieved without this incredible team. Sincere thanks and hope everyone is doing great!
Outstanding Crew, Zero Glitches — Highly Recommend Nafika
Had an amazing experience with my Nafika crew of 7, led by our guide Max. Everyone was incredibly positive, motivating, and genuinely caring throughout the trek. They checked in on our health regularly and always made safety the top priority. From pick-up to drop-off, everything ran smoothly — not a single hiccup. Highly recommend Nafika!

Amazing and very supportive locally owned and operated company
We just returned from 6-day Machame climb. From the beginning to the very end, the team was there to help us make it to the top and back. They checked our gear and supplied what was missing, they left the camps after us but had everything set up before we arrived to the camp, and they even offered their headlamp when mine died close to the summit. The food cooked by Arnold is amazing and abundant, every day something different and surprising. The guides (Efata and Aloyce) were always with us, setting a brisk pace we wanted but making sure we don’t gas out. The whole team made the climb an unforgettable experience.
Here is the thing. Looking around the campgrounds and hiking along many other groups, I believe that every company more or less offers similar services. The difference with Nafika is that you are 100% supporting a local business and they will act as a true local, grateful, enthusiastic and caring supporter of your efforts in return. Elias, the owner, started as a porter and now runs a company that brought two groups of people on the same day with us to the top of Kilimanjaro. Your money stays local and feed local families. You can’t say the same with many of the bigger tour companies.

The Greatest Company for your Kilimanjaro climb and Safari!
We have just completed the 7-day Lemosho Route trek on Mount Kilimanjaro, followed by a two-day safari, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
We successfully reached the summit of Kilimanjaro, and this would not have been possible without the incredible support from the Nafika Tours team.
Our guides, Meshakii and Efata, were exceptional. They patiently coached and encouraged us throughout the acclimatization hikes, always making sure we were comfortable and confident. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared to give us the energy we needed each day.
The team took great care in choosing the best and flattest campsites, and the entire crew was professional, kind, and hardworking. Along the way, you can noticed, how superior Nafika Tours is in every aspect ,team , tents , food , professional guides.
Our safari experience was equally wonderful. Our guide, Kelvin, provided outstanding service, and his knowledge and expertise allowed us to enjoy incredible wildlife sightings and capture amazing photos.
Overall, this was an outstanding experience with Nafika Tours. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb or safari in Tanzania.
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.
