Professionally organised 6 day machame Trek
5/5

We just completed the 6day Machame route, and we couldn’t thank our guides Karrimor & Mr. Dixon enough for being the reason we made it to the summit! (along with the best of the best team!!)

We chose to hike Kilimanjaro with Nafika tours due to their amazing reviews and being a local company, and they did not disappoint. From the start, everything was very well organised, we had so much detail about the trek itself, packing list, food menu and a meeting with the guides to check out gear before the trip.

Once on the mountain, the team kept us motivated through the harder parts of the trek, even through the torrential rain/hail/snow, they kept us going! Our porters rushed past us everyday to make sure our tent was ready and there was hot tea and snacks waiting for us to arrive, they are absolutely amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better team! A special thanks to our waiter David & Chef who made sure we had tasty food, full water bottles and comfortable nights in the tent. Everyone was so friendly and always smiling/singing/laughing!

Summit day was very challenging but SO rewarding and emotional once you get to the top, Karrimor & Mr Dixon, thank you again for being the best guides!!

I would highly recommend booking with Nafika for your Kilimanjaro trek, we had an amazing experience and it wouldn’t have been possible without them! Thank you all SO MUCH for being the reason we made it to the summit!

NEW BEE
5/5

Innocent and Aifada, the guides from Nafika, provided extremely professional guidance during the seven-day Lemosho route. We enjoyed the whole trip, discovering new things every day. Our chef's soup was amazing, and we were full every day. We had enough calories to prepare for the next climb. I wish Max can grow up to be a new guide as soon as possible. Every porter is also very hardworking, they are all very good people, I wish them not to be injured in the process of work, I enjoyed the whole journey, I really enjoyed climbing the mountain, this experience is unforgettable, I will tell my son, grandson, and great-grandson.

Highly recommend
5/5

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, everything was well organized and handled with great professionalism. The food on the mountain was not only delicious but also far beyond my expectations — every meal gave us the strength we needed for each day’s climb.

A special thanks to Elias, who managed all the arrangements smoothly and was always quick to respond to our questions before the trip. During the climb, our main guide Innocent was absolutely outstanding. His experience, encouragement, and constant attention to our well-being played a huge role in our successful summit. Along with the whole team of porters and staff, they were always cheerful, supportive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable.

Thanks to Nafika Tours and their wonderful team, I was able to achieve my dream of standing on the roof of Africa. It was not just a climb, but an unforgettable journey full of warmth, care, and incredible memories.

I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro — they made this African adventure truly special!

NafiKa Tours made every moment unforgettable.
5/5

I joined NafiKa Tours for a safari in the Serengeti. It was nothing short of unforgettable. Despite the long hours of driving, our guide remained patient, warm, and full of knowledge. He pointed out the geography of the Serengeti and helped us observe the incredible wildlife with care. Whether it was handing me a telescope to catch sight of distant animals, or showing me illustrations from his guidebook to explain species and their behaviors, he made sure this wasn’t just sightseeing—it was a deep, meaningful encounter with nature.

Very detailed Nafika tour

Nafika Tours quickly modified our safari itinerary to meet our needs.
The accommodations we booked were of excellent quality and comfortable, and the included meals were excellent.
Our guides were courteous and friendly, and they consistently helped us have a positive experience.
We look forward to working with Nafika Tours again on our next trip to the Serengeti.
Thank you for your help.

Fantastic traveling with Nafika
5/5

Highly recommended!!! Choosing Nafika was the right decision.

At a very fair price, Nafika provided me with a very luxurious pool hotel.

All the people here in climbing are the best and helpful. Experienced guides, skilled cooks and considerate entourage.
All this makes climbing Kilimanjaro a real treat.

It is worth noting that Elias is very helpful. Elias took care of me as a foreign visitor. This made my visit to Moshi town smooth and enjoyable. I really appreciate it.

Safe, reliable and true friend Nafika!

We cannot not recommend Nafika highly enough. Professional and fun. Look no further.
5/5

Our family of 5 trekked to the top of Kili with Nafika and had a memorable experience even with a cold and cloudy summit day. Elias made the pre-voyage organisation easy. Our guides Aloyise, Max and Frank were kind, fun knowledgeable - they were concerned for our health and made the trek easy and enjoyable. Arnold our cook was a star, even magically baking a cake for my wife's birthday even though he only learned about it the morning of.

Nafika is highly professional, locally owned and makes the trek a luxurious experience. The team ensured our camps were always set up in the best spots, that we never went hungry and always felt safe and cared for including the daily health checks for everyone (oxygen levels, blood pressure etc) and private toilet.

Amazing Service, Staff, Support, and Coordination from the beginning to the end.
5/5

We found Nafika through a reply on this website for a 7-day Lemosho route. We didn't know much about it.
However, what we experienced was phenomenal hospitality.
They're competitively priced, and have some of the best coordinated staff (as we witnessed by looking at other tours along the way).
We were very pleased by the level of service (quality of food, camp set up [good tents], ability to adapt to our needs, etc).
Our lead guide, Mescaki, was very practical and supportive.
I had my struggles along the way, and he provided reassurance and encouragement as well as active medical check-ins, and helped us finally summit and descend. There were also many members of staff (11 in total for the 2 of us), that were instrumental in our entire trek.
When selecting a provider, do not underestimate the importance of how the trek is paced, and how they can accommodate to your needs - it is absolutely critical.
The founder, Elias, has done a great job in putting together a quality team.

We found Nafika by pure luck, and given we're normally picky, I wouldn't hesitate to book them again and recommend them to friends & family (by the way we were vegetarian, and never felt short of options)

Really excellent Safari
5/5

Myself and my friend had a really fantastic Safari experience with Nafika tours. The whole thing was organised so professionally and all the communication and planning for the trip was excellent. Our Safari guide Octavian was just brilliant - he had an amazing knowledge of all the animals and environment and he did a really fantastic job of managing to deliver an amazing number of animal sightings - we saw so many animals and he always managed to be in exactly the right place at the right time. The accommodation and service at all the places we stayed was also fabulous. So glad I booked with Nafika tours ten out of ten for me and fantastic value for money.

Professional, exceptional and brilliant
5/5

I recently summited Kilimanjaro with Nafika, and the experience was outstanding. Elias was highly responsive from the point of booking and in relation to the climb, the whole team—ranging from porters to our guides, especially Meshack and Erfata - were exceptional. Their professionalism, experience, and focus on our wellbeing ensured we reached the top safely. Highly organized, caring, and dedicated, Nafika truly made this adventure unforgettable.
