8-daagse Kilimanjaro-wandeling via Lemosho-route

If you’re planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or go on a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Nafika Tours. I completed the 8-day Lemosho Route followed by a 4-day safari, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The Nafika Tours team made a huge difference in both the success of our climb and the enjoyment of the entire journey. Our lead guide, Meshaki, was exceptional. His positive attitude, encouragement, and personal attention helped us reach the summit, and he always put our health and safety first. A big thank you as well to Efata, Benson, and the entire Nafika Tours crew for their outstanding support, professionalism, and kindness throughout the trek. The safari was equally incredible. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with many other amazing animals. Our guide was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable, making every game drive both exciting and informative. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-organized, and the food was delicious throughout the trip. Thank you, Nafika Tours, for such an amazing adventure. I would gladly travel with you again and highly recommend your services to anyone visiting Tanzania.

I travelled with 3 other friends June 12th - 22nd 2026 and was combined with a total team of 7 people who turned out to be brilliant. In addition the porter support team totalled 25 guys, massive operation! Nafica tours took care of all airport transfers and hotel in the beginning. The hotel was very clean, comfortable with a great restaurant, pool and bar. What followed was an unforgettable 7 day trek across rain forests, moorland and artic regions of Kilimanjaro. Our tents were carried up to each camp everyday and re- set , food was fresh with the right balance of carbs and protein, water was boiled. And we were provided with hot water bottles at night making those cold nights more comfortable. The guides were the best, with great knowledge on plants / trees and animals we spotted on the way. We were tested twice per day for oxygen saturation, these guys took our health seriously and carried oxygen cylinders as back up. We all made the summit due to their songs and humour which carried us along. I cannot recommend Nafica enough as real Tanzania based tour guides that give you the real experience for the right price.

Our Kilimanjaro adventure with Nafika Tours was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. None of it would have been possible without the amazing Nafika crew, who supported us from the very beginning and stayed by our side every step of the journey. From the first day, we felt like part of one big family. Our guides, chef, waiters, porters, and everyone involved in setting up the tents and toilets worked incredibly hard to make this journey comfortable and unforgettable. They were knowledgeable, patient, caring, and always encouraging. The guides constantly checked on our condition, motivated us during the challenging moments, and made sure we felt safe and confident throughout the climb. A very special thank you to our lead guide, Meshaki. His leadership, positivity, experience, and encouragement made a huge difference and gave us the confidence we needed to reach the summit. Safety was always the top priority. We had medical check-ups every day, and the team carefully managed the hiking pace to help with proper acclimatization. Thanks to their professionalism and support, every single person in our group successfully reached the summit! The kindness, energy, and attention to detail from the entire Nafika crew made this experience so enjoyable and comfortable. This was much more than just climbing a mountain, it was an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, friendship, care, and lifelong memories. Thank you, Nafika Tours, for making our dream come true!

I had a fantastic trekking with Nafika Tours. The guides Justin and Frank were truly committef to our safety and success. The porterà and camp team sempre amazing, always kind and hard-working. Great food and eccellent organization from the start to finish. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

I spent a lot of time researching and contacting different tour agencies before choosing Nafika Tours, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. From the very beginning, the owner Elias stood out as the most responsive and helpful among all the companies I contacted. He was quick to answer questions, offered thoughtful suggestions, and was extremely flexible in helping us plan an itinerary that fit our schedule. In the end, we booked two trips with Nafika — a Safari tour and a Kilimanjaro trek — both customized to our travel plans and offered at very reasonable prices. The entire process was smooth and well organized. Our safari guide Kevin was outstanding. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about what he does. Throughout the safari he shared fascinating insights about the wildlife, the local culture, and his own perspective as a Maasai, which made the experience far richer and more meaningful than just spotting animals. The Kilimanjaro team was equally amazing. The guides and porters took exceptional care of us every day — checking our health condition regularly, preparing meals with great attention, and making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the trek. Their dedication, kindness, and optimistic spirit were truly inspiring and helped make the challenging climb much more enjoyable. Thanks to Nafika, our safari and Kilimanjaro experiences were not only well organized but also deeply memorable. I would highly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. They truly go above and beyond to make your African adventure special.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had. The guides and porters were incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the entire journey. A special thanks to our guides, Benzen and Eli, who made it possible for us to reach the summit and encouraged us every step of the way. The team was also very flexible and thoughtful. Two of us in the group were vegetarians, and they always made sure we had plenty of great food options. Overall, an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend booking with them

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was the most physically and mentally demanding, yet exhilarating experience of my life. The scenery on the mountain is truly incomparable every day brings a new and breathtaking landscape. A few pieces of advice for anyone planning this adventure: Train well. Prepare as if your life depends on it… because in some ways, it might. If you are advised to pack something, bring it. There is a reason for every item on the packing list, and you will likely need it. Most importantly, choose Nafika Tours as your guide. They are truly head and shoulders above the rest. I highly recommend doing the 7 or 8-day trek (I did the 8-day Lemosho Route), as the extra time greatly helps with acclimatization. At the summit, there is only about 50% of the oxygen compared to sea level, so giving your body time to adjust makes a huge difference. What makes Nafika Tours special? They provide a portable toilet, which might not sound important at first but believe me, you will be incredibly grateful to have a clean toilet close to your tent, especially with the amount of water and food you are encouraged to consume during the climb. Their team is completely focused on your safety and helping you reach the summit while avoiding altitude sickness. At the same time, they are friendly, supportive, and great fun to be around, while always staying attentive to your needs. Little comforts make a big difference on the mountain like a hot coffee delivered to your tent in the morning and a bowl of warm water twice a day to freshen up. Every member of the team was honest, hardworking, fun, and dedicated. Their teamwork created a truly professional, supportive, and flawless experience. A very special thank you to our incredible guides Inocent, Mac, and Eli. We could not have made it to the summit without them!

Nafika tour perfection with smile! We set off in 4 60-year-olds, three friends and Leonardo called the man with three wives to the Northern Route to climb Kilimanjaro. Among many we chose Nafika tour because it consists only of local people and we believe it is right so .... and they were just perfect. You cannot find a better agency! From the beginning they were attentive always available with joy and a smile, even when it was cold, even when it rained ice, even at 4,700 meters. Our guides Justin and Frank have arranged well-calibrated stops so you arrive at the camp every day in time for a hot meal before resting. What about the surprise of a table with hot tea, cookies and popcorn behind a rock for a refreshing break along the way before arriving at the night camp .... Hot water for washing face and hands every day up to 4,700 meters!!!! And our chef Jonathan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the bearers!!!!! Running on the path under the enormous weight of curtains tables chairs, to get up and let us find the field ready! We felt so welcomed and protected as never before, each of them always ready to fulfill our every need even before it manifested itself! Like helping us take off our backpacks as soon as we get there... or waking up to a hot coffee in the tent every morning. Many thanks to our guides Justin and Frank, prepared and reliable, always available and ready to encourage and spur us on in all stages but especially during the summit night! It’s only thanks to these amazing 14 people that we made it!!!!! Above all thanks for their warmth their smiles and their humanity. Thank you Nafika, you led us to UHURU PEAK and you will remain in our hearts!

I joined the 7-Day Lemosho Route this December as a solo climber, alongside seven other guests, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Our lead guide, Innocent, along with assistant guides Efatha, Aloyce, and Philberth, were outstanding. From day one, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring, always ensuring that everyone felt supported and comfortable. Summit day was a challenge, but Efatha and Jacob kept our spirits up by singing through the quiet night, something we noticed many other groups did not have, and it made a real difference. A heartfelt thank-you to Priver for consistently preparing warm, nourishing meals that kept us energized; to Jackson and Abel for their thoughtful service, always bringing hot tea to our tents in the mornings; to Noel and Jacob for their support on the ascent to summit; to Rizik and Said for selecting our campsites everyday; and to Maxmillian and Osward for maintaining the toilets. Above all, immense appreciation to every porter on the crew, whose hard work and constant smiles never went unnoticed. Nafika Tours is absolutely the way to go if you want an unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience with an exceptional, dedicated team. Asante sana!

A truly outstanding experience! This was an incredibly beautiful and authentic local experience. The porters were exceptionally friendly and worked unbelievably hard—truly nothing was too much to ask. They did everything with a smile and made sure we lacked nothing. Choosing a private tour made the experience even more unique and personal. During the hike, we were treated to luxurious breaks with chairs and a small table, along with warm drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate—an unexpected luxury along the way. The chef even came to speak with us personally to discuss our own customized menu, which made the service feel extra special. We had two highly capable guides, with one guide per person, ensuring maximum guidance, safety, and comfort. The organization was also flawless: reliable and punctual transfers to and from the hotel, the airport, and the starting point of the hike. What stood out most was the strong group spirit—clearly a team that knows each other well, can rely on one another, and does their work with visible joy and pride. Highly recommended and an experience we will cherish for a long time to come! Laurens & Britt
