Top service.
I picked this agency because they do smaller group, Max 4.
I end up doing the tour by myself.
Lucky me,i loved it ❤️.
Gabriel from the beginning is been very responsive, he answered all my emails promptly.
Everything was extremely smooth, the pick up at the airport to the Hotel, the briefing the day after before starting the hike.
Dastan was my guide, i couldn't be luckier to have him for such a great hike.,he was very professional and strong leader, we made to the top one day earlier 🙏.
The meal i had during the hike was delicious and cooked to perfection from Joseph, great chef.
Hibra was the guy who to care of my everyday needs.
What a team 👏.

Kilimanjaro Trek
Our experience was 10/10. Our guide Eli was very knowledgeable and looked after us throughout the trip. The whole team from Eli and Claus to the cooks and porters made sure we never needed anything and did all the hard work with a smile on their faces. We could not have reached the summit without them.
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are very glad to know your experience was a 10 out of 10 and that Eli and the entire team supported you every step of the way.
Reaching the summit is a true achievement, and we are proud our guides, cooks, and porters played a part in making it possible.

Excellent Experience with World Adventure Tours
I had an excellent experience doing the Machame Route (6 days) with World Adventure Tours. Our tour guides, Eli and Claus, were fantastic and made our trip both enjoyable and safe. Our porters were fantastic and worked really hard to ensure we were comfortable at camp. The food was brilliant everyday, it was varied and nourishing. Overall, I had an amazing trip and would recommend this company to anyone considering climbing Kilimanjaro.

Trip up Kilimanjaro.
Great Guide, his name was Munis. Very experienced and lovely guy with a great team. Me and my friend managed to get to the top within 5 days. Resort has everything you need. I would recommend bringing more than a minimum requirement for tips in dollars as getting access to cash is hard work. The springs the next day was a great difference to chill out as well.
Operator response
Dear Luke,
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are happy to hear that you had a great experience climbing with Munis and his team.
We also appreciate your helpful tip for future travelers about bringing extra cash for convenience. We are glad the overall experience met your expectations and hope to welcome you again soon.

Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route
The tour up Kilimanjaro was super organized and was conducted by a very competent guide.
In addition, there was always fresh food.
The tent was big enough for two people.
Overall a very nice experience.

Unforgettable 6-Day Marangu Route Hike – Thanks to John & Issa!
Our 6-day trek up Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route was an absolutely incredible experience, made even more special by our amazing guide, John, and his assistant, Issa. From start to finish, they provided expert guidance, motivation, and unwavering support, ensuring that we had the best chance of reaching the summit.
John’s deep knowledge of the mountain, his patience, and his ability to keep us motivated through the tough moments made all the difference. Issa was equally fantastic, always there to lend a helping hand and encourage us with his positive attitude. Their teamwork, along with the rest of the crew, made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable.

Balance of Challenge and Comfort on the Marangu Route
The right balance of challenge and comfort on the Marangu route. The trail was not busy and overall quite clean. The huts are great and helped keep equipment dry. The guide was Dustin and he was very attentive to my needs, health and overall experience. With his support I made it to the peak! The Springlands hotel staff are very helpful. Amadeus in reception was always ready to help, Jack is an exceptional waiter at the restaurant and Linda was a great coordinator. Also Jane helped me navigate some communication between the hotel and the tour operator. Although there were a few communication problems, World Adventure Tours acknowledged the problem and found a solution in a very fair and reasonable way. I was satisfied with how they dealt with the situation and give them my highest recommendation based on their response. Big thanks to Joyce Gitumbi who went out of her way to ensure I was satisfied with the experience in Tanzania.
