Kilimanjaro hike with Local Company The team went above and beyond to ensure everything was smooth and well-organized. The guides were not only knowledgeable and experienced but also deeply encouraging, making sure we felt safe, motivated, and supported every step of the way. The porters worked tirelessly and always greeted us with smiles, while the cook provided delicious and nourishing meals that truly surprised me at such high altitudes. Their attention to detail and commitment to our success made the summit experience unforgettable. What really stood out most was the personal touch. The team didn t just provide a service; they treated us like family, anticipating our needs and making sure we were comfortable at all times. It s rare to find a company that balances professionalism with such warmth and sincerity. I would recommend Kilisa Tours & Safari without hesitation to anyone considering climbing Kilimanjaro or experiencing a safari in Tanzania. They deliver not only on organization and expertise but also on creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Really easy hike but the landscape was awesome. I saw several blue monkeys. I only had a day but I am planning on doing it to the top but on a MTB
Dear henriqu.. Thanks for leaving us such a kind review. Moreover we thank you for your wonderful comments to the trip you had. Will be happy to welcoming you again, Thanks Kind regards
My guide "Nickson" was extremely accommodating despite how completely unprepared I was for the trip. He carried everything and had a lot of useful information about the sights to see on the hike. He also stayed just a couple steps behind me so that I could set my own pace. I would Definitely recommend this company and this guide for anyone considering this trip.
Hello friend Thank you for taking your time to leave us such kind words about the experience you had on your Kilimanjaro day trip with our guide here at Kilisa. Also, Many thanks for recommendation Regards Juliana
I was completely satisfied with the service provided by Kilisa. I especially appreciated that the guide tried to customize the day according to my wishes. For example, I like to hike on my own, enjoying the peace of the woods. After my guide heard that, he suggested that we walk a few hundred meters from each other, to give me space (but - at the same time - to be there in case I needed help). The day hike on Kilimanjaro is not too exhausting, it should be manageable for reasonable fit people.
Dear claudial Thank you! and we're thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with us. We appreciate your support! We'll be sure to share your praise regarding your experience with the team. Thanks so much for your review Best regards Kilisa Tours
