What an amazing experience. My buddy and I booked a 7 day Lemosho hike and had a trip of a lifetime. Everything was so well thought out from the preparation documentation, to the airport pickup, to the day-to-day logistics on the hike and back to the airport drop off. We were so well taken care of, I could not believe the amenities we were provided. Camping standards in mind, we had wonderful tents, crazy tasty food, a bathroom and a knowledgeable set of guides and porters.

To no fault of the team, a few people in our group experienced altitude sickness. This is of course going to happen to some people. Shadya and Ryzak and the entire crew helped take care of these individuals and got them safely taken care of. My favorite part of it was that due to the altitude sickness, the group had to go much slower than anticipated on one of the days. Noticing this, the chefs prepared a meal and sent it with a group of porters to meet us on the trail. It was such a wonderful and needed surprise and really spoke to the thoughtfulness and organization of the team.

The team works so hard and with so much passion. I am so appreciative of them.

I would certainly book through this group again.

Climbing Kilimanjaro was an amazing experience! I can't say enough positive things about this company. From the initial experience of setting up the trip to the fabulous guides that led us with kindness and expertise to the summit, this experience completely exceeded all my expectations. I made memories that I will forever cherish, and I am beyond grateful for every single teammate, porter, guide, and support staff along the way that made it possible. It was the trip of a lifetime!

Climbing Kilimanjaro made this experience the trip of a lifetime. I will never forget all the people who helped us from the drivers to the check-in staff to the chefs, porters, waiters and guides. Everyone was so genuinely friendly, cared about our journey and checked in on how we were feeling. I would recommend them to my closest family and friends as I truly believe they are the best guide company on the mountain. Their customer service and concern about our safety are unmatched. CK oy oy!!!!!

I am thrilled to highly recommend the Climbing Kilimanjaro team as THE trekking tour group for summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro and going on safari in Tanzania. Our two-part adventure was incredible from start to finish.
Five friends from Northern California (ages 68-77) — along with three much younger trekkers — followed the Machame route from January 3rd to 9th, 2025. The entire CK team of four guides, two chefs and 29 porters was fantastic. Safety was their first priority, and we felt very secure, confident, and well informed thanks to their briefings and updates. Blood oxygen level and pulse were recorded both morning and evening, and we completed a survey indicating our “state of being” (are we feeling any symptoms of altitude sickness such as nausea, headache, lack of appetite, etc.). Our guides reminded us to walk “pole, pole” from our first step in the jungle and through each stage so that we would acclimate to the increasing elevation and successfully reach our summit goal.
A huge shout out to our exceptional guides: lead-guide Frank, Lameck, Janet and Mwana, who were incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout. And it was an added bonus that they were also fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the five climate zones we experienced during the trek. Our two chefs kept us well fed with a fine balance of tasty proteins, carbs, soups and veggies. And enough can’t be said about the hard-working porters who made each new camp a welcome sight after a day of hiking and climbing. Their skill at navigating the trails while carrying 35+ pounds of gear was astounding. They can also sing and dance! And Brian, our US contact, was really patient and prompt answering our many pre-trek questions.
After our summit adventure, two of us went on a tailor-made, 6-day photo safari through four Tanzanian parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara. Our Tanzanian guide, Brycen, found every possible animal we were looking for — even the elusive cheetah with young ones, and he patiently and with great humor indulged two photographers wanting “just one more shot”. He added to our safari by sharing his vast knowledge of the animals and history. The Masai village visit is not to be missed.
Finally, the accommodations for pre- and post-summit and on the safari were outstanding, providing wonderful food and comfortable rooms, which were sorely needed after long flights, the 7-day trek, and after working hard to capture iconic wildlife shots! Watching “bush TV” in our open-air dining tent was very cool.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is the way to go in Tanzania for the adventure of a lifetime. The members of the team all rock stars. The website is super and offers all the information one might require. Not only is C-K is environmentally conscious, but the Tanzanian-based tour group supports the local Tanzanian people and economy.

Phenomenal, once in a lifetime experience! Our guides Salim, Moshori and Mary were absolutely amazing, their strength and knowledge was very reassuring. I cannot overstate how happy I was with the climbing experience and the 1 day safari afterwards. Highly Recommend!!

Amazing experience and Climbing Kilimanjaro were absolutely amazing. The team were phenomenal. They looked after us so well, really made sure kit was up to scratch, kept an eye on us, kept us fully updated each day and motivated, food was great and genuinely couldn't have done it without the team.... Oh and Solomon the head guide, what a guy. Always looking out for everyone ❤️

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Climbing Kilimanjaro on the Lemosho Route in January! From start to finish, their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made the entire journey seamless and unforgettable. The guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, encouraging, and always prioritizing safety while keeping spirits high. The porters were amazing, ensuring we were well-fed, comfortable, and motivated every step of the way.

Reaching the summit was a life-changing moment, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help make it happen. If you’re considering Kilimanjaro, Climbing Kilimanjaro is the way to go—highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My daughter found the co Climbing Kilimanjaro when she first thought about climbing kilmanjaro on her own. Both of us ended up going (Mum (59) & Daughter (28)) and we couldn't have been happier with the professionalism that this company offered throughout our 8 day Lemosho route trek. For 8 of us trekkers we had 4 seasoned (highly experienced) guides and around 30 porters looking after our every need. Two porter loos were carried up and down the mountain for our personal use (greatly appreciated) along with all water, food (2 chefs), tents and all the kit required for an 8 day trek. Everyone of the whole team did their utmost to make our experience as comfortable and as happy as possible and are totally responsible for getting us to the summit and then back down. The most genuine crew. The trip ran smoothly from the point of arrival in Kilimanjaro to our departure 9 days later.

If you are contemplating climbing Kilimanjaro, you could not find a better company to go with. The attention to detail was amazing from our own kit checks through to the kit we hired. Thank you so much Climbing Kilimanjaro, we loved the whole adventure.

I can only speak very highly of the people who made it possible for a family of four (age range 12 a 51) to fulfill a dream. Everyone - staff, guides, porters, cooks was incredibly professional, with great attention to detail. I always thought that I couldn’t afford a trip like this. It turned out that this is not the case. I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro company for your next adventure.

I’ve had a goal to summit Mount Kilimanjaro for years and was able to make that dream a reality at the end of December with a New Year’s Day summit with Climbing Kilimanjaro. The lead guide, Jonas, was professional and attentive to the team’s needs along the journey. The chefs and porters were amazing as well. It was such a great group of people supporting our journey up the mountain and I couldn’t have done it without Jonas and the team. I would highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro as a guiding company, and a great one to go with to support a Tanzanian owned climbing company.

This was an unforgettable experience with an amazing team. The support that I received helped to succeed in trekking all the way to the top. Thanks to all the CK staff!

A friend recommended this company and I can also highly recommend, I had a fantastic group and trip, we all reached the top!
Shadya head guid and her team were fantastic!
For me when researching the various company’s these are some of the stand outs which led me to book with CK..
*TOILETS!!! Being female it was an important to me that this company provided their own portable clean toilets at each camp.
* Price - I felt it was very competitively priced, not the cheapest but mid/lower range which I felt comfortable.
* group size not to large a group we had 7.
* Airport pick up / drop off and hotel the night before and after all arranged by the company and included in the price made the trip very relaxing. They were also able to hold some of our bags at the hotel as we done a 3 day safari before.
* Food was better than expected considering hiking up a mountain. Fresh fruit & veg, cooked breakfast daily, hot lunches and dinners. They feed you up so no need to worry about going hungry but extra snacks for hiking recomended.
* equipment - tents were good quality ours slept 2, and they provide roll out thick foam sleeping mats.
*choice of night or day summit, routes, and number of days to chose from when booking. I chose 8 day Lemosho - highly recommend, plenty of time to acclimatise along the way.
Thanks again great team and service!

Having done a fair bit of research before choosing CK as the company I wanted to climb with, I found the communication was excellent throughout the whole experience - from the booking process right through to the end journey back to the airport.
Our Head Guide was Omar who was ably assisted by Jackie, Abdi, Dixon and David. These guys were simply outstanding - throughout the 8 day climb they supported us, motivated us, took our health and safety very seriously and were a huge credit to CK. These guys were on the frontline so to speak but the large back up team of Porters, Chefs were simply amazing. They have my utmost respect and admiration for the way they carry out their daily tasks - and always with a smile on their faces.
I must pass on special thanks to Fisor who carried my backpack most of the way on Summit night - without his help I may not have made it as it was seriously tough.
And a special mention to my own porter Lonad who not only carried my holdall from camp to camp but who also came out to meet me a Kilometre or so from the overnight camp to take my backpack from me. He also practically carried me into camp after the Summit ascent & descent as my legs had seriously given up on me.
So, anyone out there looking to climb Kili and are reading reviews, I can assure you that you will not go wrong with CK.
During my 8 day climb I made some great friends and have memories I will treasure forever.

As a novice hiker and climber, this company did an excellent job with preparing me for the journey, providing helpful tips and pairing me with guides to help make this experience a success. I did the 7 day Machame Route with Frank as the lead Guide, and Janet, Lemeck and Moana as Assistant Guides and I felt safe, cared for, and protected during the entire process. I highly recommend this company as it was a great experience for me.

I hiked Kilimanjaro with my family in December-January 2024/2025. We had an incredible time with Climbing Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Professor Omar, was very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Our assistant guide, Razack, made sure we had a safe and memorable time. Our chef, Obedi, is very talented and always made warm, delicious and filling meals. The whole crew cared for us like family and were such a joy to hike and camp with. We could not have been luckier with our team, nor made a better choice than Climbing Kilimanjaro. The gear we rented from them was top-of-the-line and made the trip so comfortable. We all cannot wait to get back on the mountain with the Climbing Kilimanjaro team! Thank you to them for all their hard work and dedication to making every trip a once in a lifetime experience!

Justin and the rest of the guides were fantastic! They did everything they could and helped everyone make a successful summit. The porters were very friendly. Accommodation and food throughout the whole trip was fantastic as well.

My husband and I successfully summited Mt. Kilimanjaro with Climbing Kilimanjaro on new year's day 2025! This was one of the most mentally and physically challenging experiences I have ever done. All of the staff (guides, porters, cooks, drivers) went above and beyond to meet our daily needs, keep us safe and healthy, and insure that we had a great experience! I highly recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro for this experience of a lifetime.

I couldn’t recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro highly enough. All of the guides and porters were the kindest most genuine people who went above and beyond the call of duty to make climbing Kilimanjaro such a magical experience for all of the people in our group. They shared so much fascinating information and history about the mountain throughout the journey and always kept spirits high on the tough days. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking these wonderful guides if you are considering a mountain or Safari trip. Big love Cah Cahs! Asant Sana ❤️

Trip of the lifetime! Just got back yesterday from climbing Kilimanjaro with family of five and friends, 7d Lemosho route. The company Climbing Kilimanjaro is the BEST! Couldn’t think of anyone better to support us all the way. We had a range of ages (16-49) in our party and they took care of our every need. Their expertise, knowledge, incredible care in the small details, attention to health Ms well-being, building a sense of team unity can’t be beat. I would highly recommend them as your key to success to summit, but also to have a trip of a lifetime. We love your crew, Climbing Kilimanjaro!

I highly recommend climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to anyone looking to challenge themselves and experience an unforgettable adventure. We celebrated turning 40, and kicking cancer’s and a plethora of mental issues ass by climbing. We chose the 7-day Lemosho route that promised success and insane views and it did not disappoint. It was nothing short of incredible and I am so grateful to the remarkable team from Climbing Kilimanjaro.

From the very start, the support and motivation provided by our guides were exceptional. We were a group of 12, and every single one of us successfully reached Uhuru Peak.. Chief guide Abdi Mikine, along with his talented team members Adolf, Masauri, Mamuya, Chiku, and David, ensured that we felt safe, encouraged, and empowered every step of the way. It was especially comforting to have a female guide in the mix, adding an inclusive and supportive atmosphere.

The logistics were seamless, with the entire crew working tirelessly behind the scenes. Our cooks, Manyaro and Steve, kept us well-fed and hydrated with delicious meals that fueled us through our climbs. We were also supported by an incredible team of 42 porters who were instrumental in making our experience enjoyable. Special thanks to Joseph and Kennedy for ensuring we had ample water, and to Julias and Yohana for keeping our facilities clean and comfortable. The team responsible for setting up camp—Betuel, Godfrey, Genesis, and Sam—made our nights restful and our mornings smooth.

The stunning views along the Lemosho route and the camaraderie we built as a group made this adventure truly unforgettable. Climbing Kilimanjaro exceeded our expectations, and I can't praise them enough for their professionalism, care, and commitment to our success. If you’re considering this adventure, don’t hesitate—Climbing Kilimanjaro is absolutely the way to go!
