Flawless Kilimanjaro Trek & Safari with Kilisa Tours! ​We had an absolutely fantastic experience doing both the 7-day Kilimanjaro climb ​On the mountain, the porters treated us like family rather than just another group of guests. Our guide, Bakari, was deeply professional and made sure I safely reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!

Our experience with Kilisa Tours & Safaris was truly outstanding from the first day of our Mount Kilimanjaro adventure through to our wildlife safari. The entire journey was professionally organized, and the level of service we received was exceptional. The Kilimanjaro trek was both challenging and rewarding. Our guides were highly experienced, attentive, and encouraging throughout the climb. They maintained a comfortable pace, monitored our progress carefully, and made sure everyone in the group felt safe and supported. Their knowledge of the mountain, route conditions, acclimatization, and local environment gave us great confidence every day. What really stood out was the teamwork of the entire mountain crew. From the guides and porters to the camp and kitchen team, everyone played an important role in making the trek comfortable and enjoyable. The organization was excellent, meals were well prepared, camps were efficiently arranged, and the team consistently maintained a positive and professional attitude. Reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and Uhuru Peak was an unforgettable achievement. The sense of accomplishment, combined with the spectacular views from Africa's highest mountain, created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The safari that followed was equally impressive. Our Kilisa safari guide demonstrated excellent knowledge of Tanzania's wildlife and ecosystems and had an exceptional ability to locate animals in their natural habitat. Every game drive felt like a genuine wildlife experience rather than simply following a fixed itinerary. One of the highlights was witnessing wildlife behaving naturally in the wilderness. We had unforgettable encounters with predators, large herds, and the incredible landscapes of the Tanzania Northern Safari Circuit. Our guide's patience, experience, and understanding of animal behavior allowed us to spend quality time observing wildlife without feeling rushed. What makes Kilisa Tours & Safaris special is the combination of professional organization, experienced local guides, personalized attention, safety, and genuine Tanzanian hospitality. From the mountain to the savannah, we always felt that we were in capable hands. For anyone considering a Mount Kilimanjaro trek and Tanzania safari, we highly recommend Kilisa Tours & Safaris. Their five-star service, local expertise, excellent guides, and attention to detail made our journey far more than a holiday—it became an unforgettable African adventure. Kilimanjaro summit. Incredible wildlife. Exceptional service. Memories that will last a lifetime.

If you're planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, I highly recommend Kilisa Tours & Safari, a local Moshi-based company that delivered an incredibly well-organized and safe 7-day trek to the summit. From the very first day, it was clear this team knew what they were doing. Our guide was experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the mountain — always checking on our health, pace, and hydration, which made a huge difference for acclimatization on the 7-day Lemosho route, widely regarded as one of the best routes for a higher summit success rate due to its longer distance and gradual altitude gain. What stood out: • Professional, certified guides with deep knowledge of Kilimanjaro's terrain and weather patterns • Well-maintained camping equipment — sturdy tents, warm sleeping arrangements, and clean facilities at every camp • Delicious, hearty meals prepared fresh each day by a skilled mountain crew, even at high altitude • Fair treatment of porters,— something every responsible climber should look for • Excellent safety protocols, including regular pulse-oximeter checks and briefings before summit night • Breathtaking scenery through five distinct climate zones — rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and the arctic summit zone Summit night was tough, as expected, but the crew's encouragement and pacing got our entire group to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) safely and successfully. The descent via Mweka was equally well-managed, with the team ensuring everyone got down comfortably. For anyone searching for a trusted local Kilimanjaro trekking company, a budget-friendly yet high-quality Lemosho route package, or simply the best way to climb Kilimanjaro in 7 days, Kilisa Tours & Safari is a fantastic choice. Their local expertise, genuine care for both climbers and staff, and attention to detail set them apart from bigger international operators. Highly recommended for solo travelers, families, and groups looking for an authentic, professional, and unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route with Kilisa Tours & Safaris, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. From airport pickup in Moshi to reaching Uhuru Peak, everything was professionally organized. The guides were knowledgeable, kind, and extremely safety-focused. The food was amazing and the porters were incredibly supportive. If you are looking for a reliable Kilimanjaro tour operator in Tanzania, Kilisa Tours is the best choice.

The 7 days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro trek exceeded our expectations. The route is so beautiful and we enjoyed tackling the mountain with experienced guides - Bakari and Nickson. They were supportive from start to finish in all the aspects of the trek, starting with the technical strategy on the speed, rests and ensuring that we were healthy through regular checks. We had the reassurance of knowing that we were with experienced and professional climbing crew as it was evident from the way they planned and executed everything. The food was delicious throughout. Our cook prepared three hot meals every day and managed to keep us eating ravenously. I was impressed by the tents, sleeping bags and the other climbing equipment that we had at our disposal. All was of good quality and helped to keep us comfortable in the tough conditions. We enjoyed trekking as the weather was good making it wonderful. Let no one deceive you that the trek is easy, however being with a great crew made it much easier as we did not have to worry about the logistics. We also get lots of help in the tough sections and encouragement from our crew. Bakari was my personal guide and turned out to be really informative about the mountain. We both reached the summit and are totally impressed by Kilisa Tours and Safaris. They handled our trek professionally and created the perfect conditions for our trek.

My bothers and I shared one of the most incredible experiences in Tanzania as we trekked up Kilimanjaro. Our host Naick of Kilisa Tours & Safaris is the man behind our success. He was solely responsible in putting everything together from the logistics, support team, permits, supplies, accommodations pre and post climb, to every little thing that we had on that during the trek was not there by chance. The climbing crew was led by guide Goodluck assisted by Oscar. This pair went out of their way to ensure that we had a phenomenal trek. They were quick to assess our physical capabilities and aligned the trekking speed to a comfortable pace. They closely monitored our health and also ensured that we well nourished. To be honest all the crew were amazing. They treated us well and took care of all our needs. Trekking up this mountain started off easy but gradually got tougher as we progressively got higher. We could barely walk by the time we got to the Barafu camp because of fatigue. The length and altitude got us struggling, luckily Goodluck and his team helped us and did not leave our side till we made it to Uhuru Peak. Naick hosted a farewell party in our honour after the trek which was a really nice touch where we ate, sang and danced late into the night before our outbound flight early the next morning. We are now safely back home and have very fond memories of our time there. We will definitely return to Tanzania for another adventure and Kilisa Tours & Safaris will be our point of call. Ahsante sana

Thank you to Kilisa Tours for a unique trekking experience and once-in-a-lifetime adventure, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at 5,895 m above sea level. From when we contacted Kilisa Tours and Safari, Naick was there for us, providing us with everything we needed to reach the summit- Uhuru. We used the seven-day Lemosho route, and Kilisa provided us with two Guides, a chef and twelve porters who carried our bags, tents and food. Considering the high altitude, the food was of a higher standard, a credit to the chef. I can not thank the Guides and the Porters enough for their support and encouragement and for making the trek safer and enjoyable. Despite the challenges, you feel immense accomplishment upon reaching the summit. If you are thinking of hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, I urge you to consider Kilisa Tours and Safari. By using Kilisa, you will help support the local economy, as your money enables the company to provide employment opportunities to the local people. With Kilisa, hakuna matata, no problem. Kilisa Tours and Safari always deliver, and they will help you achieve your dreams of climbing the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world.

This trip was a long time in the making and Naick/Kilisa Tours helped us to achieve this every step of the way. Kilisa seemed to be the most reasonably priced when we searched around but when we finally got onto the trek, we realised just how good the value was for our money. We had a team of 15 locals from the Kilimanjaro Region with us, including two experienced guides, Nickson and Livingstone. With their help we, as inexperienced but reasonably fit hikers, were able to reach the summit. The team could not have been more supportive. In the long buildup, Naick was very patient and helpful in emails and whatsapp messaging, allowing us the time and knowledge that we needed to organise our trip. We got a thorough briefing and help preparing our trekking gear/clothes, at the hotel, on the night before the trek. Each evening we had a briefing about the following day, before getting a wake up call in the morning from our attentive host, Zakayo - who accompanied us to the summit on the final day and will make for a great future guide. We were treated to fresh ginger tea daily, as well as other hot drinks and soup to keep warm and big portioned meals/snacks for energy. The porters in the team have great strength and heart. After we had stocked our smaller bags with the day's essentials, they would pack up the camp, including our remaining larger bags and move the whole camp to our next location - overtaking us on the way! At this point, as others have mentioned, paying for a private toilet for your group/self, to have as part of your camps, is well worth the money from the start. Our guides were more than mere pace setters, pointing the way forward, they were knowledgeable about the local region, flora and forna. They have vast experience of climbing Kilimanjaro from all the various routes. Also, importantly, they were very humble, friendly, supportive, just generally good humoured company, as well as making for decent photographers for our small group! The trek itself is manageable, as the guides will tell you, it is more of a mental test and taking things "pole pole" - slow and steady will get you to the top, while allowing you to enjoy the journey and some breathtaking views along the way! Finally to emphasise again, this is a locally based company with local employees. They provided our small group of three with a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I hope that spreading the word with this review, will go some way to repaying them for their hospitality and the fantastic memories which they have given to us.

I had a wish of climb Mount Kilimanjaro since I was a teenager, And my dreams came into realty after I met with Kilisa Tours & Safaris. The reason why I decided to choose them is because they had a good patient to me, and after talking to Naick my tour operator & designer he quickly understood what I wanted and offered me an idea of took the Lemosho route. This is because the rate of reaching the summit is 95%, because of it’s longer itinerary which allows better acclimatization, just a good level of fitness is recommended. From the starting point Kilisa Tours & Safaris was responsive through my Email, Arrivals, Pick up until the next day I began my Kilimanjaro trek through Lemosho route. The journey was incredible and together with the team I had was friendly & supportive. Through them and their encouragement they helped me keep pushing forward to the summit. I am sincerely happy and to be honest Kilisa Tours & Safaris is a home of hospitality. If you’re considering climbing Mount Kilimanjaro I highly recommend you to contact Kilisa Tours and Safaris for better experience and unforgettable memories.

What an amazing time!!! Kilisa Tours made our trekking experience by far the most memorable. Every staff member was supportive, friendly, and professional. I cannot stress enough how our guides paid attention to our needs and details. Thank you to Naick and his wonderful staff for an unforgettable experience. Very highly recommended!!!
