Great experience to reach the the summit of Kilimanjaro with a group of ten!
5/5

We Climbed Kilimanjaro with Genes Adventures in September 2025 with a group of ten and we all made it to the summit!
The team was great. They took very good care of us and they were so helpful. Genes himself was in full control all the time and everything ran smoothly. The views were beautiful during the walks and the stays on the campsites were great. Good tents and very good food. The weather was sunny and most of the time no wind at all.
The safari was beautiful and we spottend a lot of wildlife! Also great stays.
The people in Tanzania are wonderful and the trip was unforgettable!

Many thanks to Genes, his team and our game driver Swazi.

Excellent
5/5

Genes Adventures ensured I did my Kilimanjaro Summit effortlessly. It was an organised adventure, and even my small inconveniences were attended i.e. as luck would have it I forgot my shoes and they ensured I had some for my summit. Great guides on the trail, very informative but also cheery along the way and to rhe Summit, thank you to Goddie and Hemedi. Even the potters, zero damage to my items during transport and the cooks provided is with nutritious meals during our stay up the mountain. I wholeheartedly recommend the Genes Adventures

The true definition of African hospitality
5/5

My friend and I ticked off a bucket-list adventure with Genes Adventures, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Genes personally picked us up in Arusha and made us feel welcome right from the start. We were joined by our guides, Hemed and Godfrey, who were nothing short of exceptional. They walked us through the plan, checked our gear, and made sure we felt confident and prepared.

We completed the 5-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route, and our guides were truly 5-star—knowledgeable, encouraging, endlessly supportive, and always keeping morale high. They went above and beyond to help us through challenges (and they’re fantastic photographers too!).

We finished the climb with full hearts, sore legs, and immense gratitude to Genes and the entire team. Highly recommend to anyone considering Kilimanjaro!

Well organized
4/5

The hike to the top of the Kilimanjaro was perfect.
Then the trip to Arusha park: saw the Giraffes from really close and the white and Black Calabus monkeys.
Nice and green park with a lot of trees and waters, sweet.

Genes is fun, caring and professional.
5/5

My sister and I hiked Kilimanjaro with Genes. He and his crew were fun, kind and professional. We had an authentic experience and felt very safe the entire trek. At points throughout our journey other guides were seeking guidance from Genes to care for their clients. Couldn’t recommend Genes more highly!

Exceeding expectations!
5/5

Genes Adventures arranged everything very thouroughly, so we traveled with a very safe sense of being taken care of. That felt important , with this adenture going to the summit of Kilimanjaro with risks of elevation sickness or hypothermia. Very knowledgable! And lots of laughs!

Very professional, warm, friendly and well-organized team !
5/5

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Genes Adventures was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We did the 7-day hike and reached the summit on day 6, and I can honestly say the whole trip was very well organized.

Communication before and during the climb was always clear, regular, and reliable, which gave us a lot of confidence. The guides were friendly, motivated, and professional throughout. They created a very safe and encouraging atmosphere for the whole team.

What I especially appreciated was how well they managed the pace. It was perfectly adjusted to the weather, the demands of each hiking day, and how the group was feeling. That made a big difference. The acclimatization process and medical guidance were handled with great care, which gave us a real sense of safety.

All the practical things were arranged very well, the food was excellent, and the overall organization was fully in order. On top of that, the positive group atmosphere and the motivating words of the guides helped all of us keep going and, in the end, everyone reached the summit.

We enjoyed it very much and I would warmly recommend Genes Adventures to anyone wanting to climb Kilimanjaro with a professional, caring, and well-organized team.
