Best Company, Best Stuffs and Best Services
My friend Jane and I completed our 7 day Machame trek mid-December 2025 with Rupia Adventure and we highly recommended this company. Our trek was so fun and with the help of the guides Gideon and Hollylight , our cook Samuel , server Evody, and the porters, we made it to the summit. The whole team were quick to help us in any way they could - during the daily hikes and while at camp. They cared for our wellbeing whilst also being playful, funny, and a joy to be around. The excellent support began before the trek with Jolanda who answered all questions and provided support before and after the trek. Even after we finished, the Rupia Adventure team helped us around Arusha town getting organised for the rest of our time in Tanzania. The trek was the highlight of our Tanzania trip and one of the most challenging, rewarding, and moving experiences that we will always cherish. Thank you Rupia Adventure team for the trek but more importantly for making us feel like friends and family.

7 Day Machame Route with Rupia Adventure
I booked the 7 Day Machame route with Rupia Adventure for myself and four friends. We had an amazing time! Our guides—Gideon, Laurent, and Emmanuel—and the rest of the team were a pleasure to be around. Matt was very helpful in the organization of the trip. We felt fully supported on the mountain and would recommend the experience.

Excellent Service, Reliable Company
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro maybe the dream of everyone around the world, after waiting for a long time we were finally able to climb Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame route for 7 days, we were very nervous but with the experience of Rupia Adventure we were able to climb and reach the top of this mountain with beautiful scenery and white snow, Emmanuel and Gideon were our guides, Samora was a great cook delicious and vitamin-rich food, the best camping equipment from world-famous mountaineers, Matt from the office was very experienced in answering our emails and helping us with good ideas on how to organize this trip, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire Rupia Adventure team

Amazing Team and Food
The standout do me was the amazing team that helped us summit. They were all so much fun and made the trip way more fun than I had anticipated it being. The food was also amazing. We always looked forward to finding out what was on the menu.

Life changing trip with an incredible crew
Finding it super hard to find the words to describe the life-changing experience we had on Kilimanjaro with the incredible team at Rupia Adventures… I’ve travelled to 54 countries so far and I have to say I’ve yet to have met such a hardworking, kind, humble, professional and FUN crew to be around. Their approach was very individual, human and heartfelt - and didn’t feel robotic like you occasionally encounter with bigger companies who follow the same step-by-step procedures for all. Also, they were so open to sharing more about the general Tanzanian culture & I loved our discussions which made 8hr+ hikes fly by! So honoured to have done the climb with them - I felt completely safe at all times, guided to the highest standard possible and to top that off .. left Tanzania with people I now consider friends. Please don’t hesitate when booking a trek with Rupia. Matt, who coordinated everything in the months leading up and off the mountain was also very organised and there to answer our questions within minutes. He was also updating my loved ones back at home of our progress (with pictures) throughout the week whilst I had no service (loved the digital detox) on the mountain! :) Huge shoutout to our guides Laurent and Gideon as well as Nyati ( the summit crew ) who blew our minds with their confidence, and motivation on summit night. These guys are real life superheroes and when I return to climb Mt Meru or do a safari, it’ll be without a question with the same team.

Thank you Sasha for trust us and choose our company, we welcome you next time when you want to do trek or safari

Reliable Local Company
My friend Eve and I did the 7-day Machame route in March of this year. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had, and Rupia Adventure is to thank for that. Our guides, Emmanuel and Gideon, were knowledgeable, encouraging, attentive, and generally very fun to be around! This also goes for the rest of our group of porters as well. The food made by our chef was nutritious and very filling, and it served to us by Nyati, who was so kind and diligent in his effort to make us comfortable and content. Our tents were of good quality, and our sleeping bags very warm and cozy for the cool nights. The private toilet was also a huge bonus. I feel so incredibly lucky to have had Rupia Adventure as our team for this profound experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life!
