Exceptional Service and a Successful Summit with Nafika Tours
We recently completed a Kilimanjaro climb and a 5-day safari with Nafika Tours, and the experience was flawless. As novice trekkers, we opted for a private trek with 2 guides, 1 chef, 7 porters, and a private toilet—a setup that felt incredibly premium compared to other groups we encountered.
The attention to detail was impressive: our porters set up daily snack stops with full tables and chairs, and the food (soup, mains, and fresh fruit) was consistently great. Our guides, Benson and Lordgard, were true professionals. They monitored our oxygen levels twice daily, provided clear briefings, and gave us the mental strength needed for the summit night. Having a dedicated porter join us for the summit with hot drinks and snacks made a massive difference.
Post-climb, we stayed at Tulivu Retreat in Moshi. The gardens and pools are beautiful, and the "After-Kili" spa treatment is a must-move for recovery! Our safari was equally well-managed in a private Land Cruiser stocked with cold drinks. Our guide was an expert tracker; we saw the Big Five and even a rare white giraffe. Highly recommend Nafika for a seamless Tanzania experience!

Great experience
We make a 2 day Safari tour with Nafika.
It was a really good and interesting experience.
We visit 2 national parks Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
Both parks are beautiful. We had the opportunity to see the 5 five.
The Guide Steven all the time he was very professional, helpful, friendly, given very interesting information about animals and culture.
The food was very good. The lodge was very nice and comfortable.
I recommend Nafika 100‰ to do Safari's in Tanzania.
Asante sana Nafika, Steven and Elias for this great experience.

The best Kilimanjaro climb and Tanzania Safari
We had the most wonderful experience on our Kilimanjaro trek with Nafika Tours. From the very beginning of the planning stage to our final descent, everything was perfectly taken care of, making the entire process easy and stress-free.
Our guides, Aloyce, Efata, and Anold, were outstanding professional, knowledgeable, and very experienced. Abu the chef and the entire logistics team looked after us incredibly well. Every day we were welcomed with warm smiles, delicious food, and genuine care.
Despite the complexity of our group ranging in age from 10 to 62 years old the team managed everything smoothly, and every single one of us successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled with unforgettable memories.
Our families back home really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which made them feel connected to our journey and created a beautiful record of our adventure.
After the climb, we also enjoyed a 5-day safari with Nafika Tours, which was equally fantastic. Our safari guide was very professional, and we saw an incredible number of animals. The accommodations were excellent, the food was delicious, and the safari vehicle was always clean and very comfortable.
We highly recommend Nafika Tours for both Kilimanjaro treks and safaris. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect!
This was a life-changing experience. We organized the trip ourselves, and after a lot of research, we decided on Nafika Agency — and honestly, we couldn’t have made a better choice.
These people took our adventure to a whole new level. We have never, anywhere, felt that much care and kindness. There are no words to truly describe how professional, precise, and dedicated they are to their work.
This is the strongest recommendation we could ever give for any service — Nafika truly earned it. From the owner, to the guides, to the porters — everyone was outstanding.
Thank you once again for the unforgettable moments.
Greetings from Montenegro!

Life-Changing Experience! Nafika Tours is the Gold Standard for Kilimanjaro
If you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro, look no further than Nafika Tours. My wife and I just completed the 7-day Lemosho route, and we can say with 100% certainty that we wouldn’t have reached Uhuru Peak without this incredible team.
1. Seamless Planning & Professionalism
From our very first inquiry, Elias was a standout. As first-time high-altitude climbers, we had a million questions. Elias was incredibly responsive, professional, and prompt. He provided deep insights and honest advice that helped us feel prepared and confident long before we stepped foot in Tanzania.
2. A Team That Feels Like Family
The crew Nafika assembled was world-class. Our guides, Innocent and Leorgad, were professional, encouraging, and highly skilled. Chef Priver is a wizard in the mountain kitchen—we genuinely loved every single meal he prepared.
What truly sets Nafika apart, however, is their heart. On our descent from the summit, my wife began feeling unwell. Without a second thought, the entire team mobilized. The porters and guides actually walked almost halfway back up the mountain to assist in carrying her down safely. Their care and dedication were move-than-heroic.
3. Going Above and Beyond (The Luggage Save!)
Our checked luggage (containing essential gear like sleeping bags and duffles) was delayed on arrival. Nafika could have easily made extra profit by renting us their gear, but they chose integrity over profit. The team went to the airport extremely early on the second day, retrieved our bags, and rushed them to the Lemosho gate just in time for our climb. That level of service is rare and deeply appreciated.
4. Perfect Logistics
Beyond the mountain, every detail was handled. The transport was punctual and the lodges arranged for before and after the climb were high-quality, comfortable, and very convenient.
Nafika Tours doesn’t just "organize treks"—they take care of you like family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to summit the Roof of Africa. Thank you, Elias, Innocent, Leorgad, Priver, and the entire porter crew for making our dream a reality!

Beyond Expectations - A Remarkable Lemosho Route Climb
I joined the 7-Day Lemosho Route this December as a solo climber, alongside seven other guests, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations in every way.
Our lead guide, Innocent, along with assistant guides Efatha, Aloyce, and Philberth, were outstanding. From day one, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring, always ensuring that everyone felt supported and comfortable. Summit day was a serious challenge, but Efatha and Jacob kept our spirits up by singing through the quiet night, something we noticed many other groups did not have, and it made a real difference.
A heartfelt thank-you to Priver for consistently preparing warm, nourishing meals that kept us energized; to Jackson and Abel for their thoughtful service, always bringing hot tea to our tents in the mornings; to Noel and Jacob for their steady support on the ascent; to Rizik and Said for expertly selecting our campsites; and to Maxmillian and Osward for maintaining the toilets. Above all, immense appreciation to every porter on the crew, whose hard work and constant smiles never went unnoticed.
Nafika Tours is absolutely the way to go if you want an unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience with an exceptional, dedicated team. Asante sana!

Great personal and local experience
A truly outstanding experience!
This was an incredibly beautiful and authentic local experience. The porters were exceptionally friendly and worked unbelievably hard—truly nothing was too much to ask. They did everything with a smile and made sure we lacked nothing.
Choosing a private tour made the experience even more unique and personal. During the hike, we were treated to luxurious breaks with chairs and a small table, along with warm drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate—an unexpected luxury along the way.
The chef even came to speak with us personally to discuss our own customized menu, which made the service feel extra special. We had two highly capable guides, with one guide per person, ensuring maximum guidance, safety, and comfort.
The organization was also flawless: reliable and punctual transfers to and from the hotel, the airport, and the starting point of the hike. What stood out most was the strong group spirit—clearly a team that knows each other well, can rely on one another, and does their work with visible joy and pride.
Highly recommended and an experience we will cherish for a long time to come!

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.
