6 dagen beklim de Kilimanjaro via de Marangu-route

Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari received a negative review for poor organization and lack of communication. The guide was inexperienced, leading to a disappointing experience. Accommodation and transport were subpar, with long delays. Wildlife sightings were sparse, and the safari felt rushed. Overall, it didn't meet the expectations of the tour description.

Teacher and his team at Kwesa Tours led our group of 20 from the USA (CO, IL, IA, and TX) via the Marangu route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It was one of the most fun, safe, challenging, and life changing experiences. The Kwesa Team took care of us at every step from the preparations, briefings, dining, hiking, and ultimately the preparation for the summit attempt. Most of our group was successful in summiting in large part due to the assistance and fortitude of the Kwesa team. We all felt confident about our safety (especially since Teacher has climbed over 1,000 times), and the Kwesa Team shared our objective to get to the top as a whole. I am grateful for Teacher’s friendship and the cooks, guides, and porters who looked after us so well. I don’t think we would have had such success in reaching the top if it wasn’t for this wonderful team. I would definitely choose Kwesa Tours again and would recommend them to my family and friends. It was a wonderful physical, mental, and cultural experience that I will never forget and I hope to recreate.

Edward “Teacher” Lazaro, owner and leader of Kwesa Tours and his fine team led our family and friends to the summit of Kilimanjaro! Our group of 20 from the U.S. (IL, CO and TX) selected the Marangu route because it is the only route where you use huts for the ascent and descent and we generally had a crew with no climbing experience. Teacher is a fascinating, principled, man who truly cares about his clients (we now call him our friend) and those values translate to his whole team. Bottom line: Teacher and his KWESA team took care of us from start to finish, focused on our self care and achieving our goal - get to the top!… safely. They provided support, preparation, briefings, nutrition (compliments to the cooks), hydration, and friendly encouragement throughout the trip. The trek was culturally and environmentally interesting, safe, fun, yet challenging … with no technical climbing. I highly recommend Kilimanjaro Wonders Expeditions.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Tuliza, my fantastic tour guide, who went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Not only did Tuliza provide invaluable information throughout the trip, but he also stepped in to carry my day-pack whenever I was struggling. I’m also incredibly thankful to our talented chef-Patrick, and the attentive waiter-Juma, who catered to my needs with such care and dedication. And a big shoutout to the amazing porters, who tirelessly carried all our gear, food, and utensils. Their hard work and determination truly made this journey unforgettable!

Hiking Kilimanjaro’s Marangu route with “Teacher” and his team at KWESA was an unforgettable adventure. Reaching the peak of Africa is no easy feat, and without KWESA supporting, encouraging, and believing in us all the way to the top I’m not sure we would have made it! From step one they made us feel as a part of their family and took care of us from foothill to peak to valley.

Teacher and his team at Kwesa Tours led our group of 20 from the USA (CO, IL, and TX) via the Marangu route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It was one of the most fun, safe, and challenging experiences. The Kwesa team took care of us at every step, including preparations, briefings, dining, hiking, and ultimately preparing our mental attitude for summit night. We all felt confident about our safety and that Kwesa shared our objective to get to the top. I am grateful for Teacher’s friendship as well as his Cooks, Guides, and Porters, all of whom looked after us so well. I give them my highest recommendation for outfitting. It was a wonderful physical, mental, and cultural experience that I will never forget.

Amazing trek with Kwesa!!! Reaching the summit was a moment of pure joy, made possible by the expertise, encouragement, and commitment of the Kwesa team. We could not have made it without their coaching to “pole pole” (walk slowly), endless chants and singing to “Jambo Bwana”, and of course their porter support. Big thank you to Teacher and his team!

I went with a group of 20 people and 15 of us summited thanks to the Kwesa Family. It’s a fast-paced 6 days so be sure to bring eye shades and ear plugs for naps here and there and quality sleep. Huge shoutout to Teacher of course, Sampson for his help getting me to the top, Julian for keeping the morale high with his chanting, and porters for their help transporting me down after a minor injury on the summit descent.

If you are looking for the best, most authentic, and welcoming experience book with Kwesa Tours. This summer I took a trip down to Tanzania and had the best 2 weeks imaginable. From the first day Kwesa promises for you to enter as a client and leave as family and this is displayed through their hospitality and welcoming characters. Everyone you meet at Kwesa has their own stories and perspectives to tell you about the culture and history of the country ensuring you have an authentic experience that is hard to find with other tour companies. On my six day hike to the peak of Kilimanjaro I could tell I was with the best in the business ensuring my safety with health checks every night and motivating me to move forwards with funny stories and interesting chats. I have left the base with countless friends that I will revisit in the future. 10/10 experience would recommend to everyone visiting Tanzania

Such an amazing experience with Edward, Joseph and Good Luck - they provided everything for us, even allowing us to hire all the equipment from them. My friend and I were the only people summiting that day and it was absolutely magical. We are two 19 year old girls and we’re on our gap year at the time of climbing kili. They looked after us so well, and we both felt so safe and assured while climbing. The chef was great and we had delicious meals everyday, not to mention all the extra service we received from the rest of the team. I cannot recommend them enough - you will not find a better price or have a better experience anywhere else.
