Overall it is a great hike tour in Kilimanjaro.

The Kilimanjaro Experience was the best for us, we got more than we expected through this tour, our driver guide came to pick us up at the right time at our hotel in Arusha and drive us to Kilimanjaro Gate, every step from the gate to the Mandara hut and Crater of Maundi was fabulous experience. The company also prepared the lunch box for us, minerals water and a very skilled English guide. This is best for all who love mountains It is not an experience to miss in a single day.

This is the best day hike option

We are with a very experienced mountain guide, Lameck. He took us all the way to the camp of mandara through the Marangu route. We went with him and everything was perfect and smooth. Great tour and I recommend.

The Top Tour of Kilimanjaro Day

One of the most beautiful day hikes we had was in Tanzania, we made it to Mandara hut which is 2,720 Meters and we enjoyed that experience so much. Our guides make this trip wonderful from all moments on the mountain, we feel so welcoming, and get energetic from their attention and their courage. I would definitely recommend Songbirds Safaris.

Very informative & Well Organized Trip.

If anyone is looking for a Kilimanjaro day trip, there is no way more to choose than Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. They message us immediately after confirming the booking with them and they give us the highlights for the tour and recommendations for what we should wear during the hike. Our guide Bariki was very informative and helpful for all necessary things and gave you a trick to hike Kilimanjaro. I would definitely recommend Songbirds Safaris for this trip they deserve the best.

Exceptional Experience in Day Hike at Kilimanjaro Mountain.

It was a fabulous experience, we get more than we expected, thanks so much to our new friend, James who is really nice to us during the whole experience. We had a prompt response quickly after making a booking of this tour and the operator from the company provided us with the best itinerary that gave us the highlights of the tour, we pickup from our hotel in Arusha with no extra costs which our hotel was far even from the city center, Thanks so much to the tour company for refreshing everything (transportation, lunch box, water and professional guide). I cannot recommend James enough for this tour, but know that your knowledge, your Sense of humor you have, everyone will love to have you for the tour. I definitely recommend this trip.

Excellent Day

Great trip in Kilimanjaro, all we appreciated was the service from our guide and the driver. We booked very last minute this trip but they responded to us quickly and gave us all the information for Kilimanjaro. The guide was excellent, a nice lunch box, excellent quality car, all in all it's a good company that I recommend for the Kilimanjaro.
