A truly incredible experience. We came for the mountain, but the 10/10 service from our guides (Moses and John Bosco) their team of porters, and the Keys Hotel elevated our experience from good to spectacular.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro has been a bucket list of mine for a long time, and thanks to the amazing people at Keys Tours & the Keys Hotel they made that dream a reality. I would highly recommend using them for anyone who is interested in experiencing the beautiful country that is Tanzania. Whether you too want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or perhaps participate in a safari, or just see the country in general, you can’t go wrong using keys Tours. They sincerely care about the guest experience & want to ensure that each client has a wonderful vacation. My climbing guide (Collins) was extremely courteous & also very knowledgeable regarding the mountain, its history, & the surrounding vegetation & wildlife. The rest of the team was equally superb & the food was amazing. I think I may be the only person who actually gained weight climbing the mountain :) A few of my close friends also want to climb Kilimanjaro, and I am going to give them all my details so they too can stay at Keys Hotel & use Keys Tours & have a once in a lifetime experience.
