Hike of a life time! Wonderful Experience! - We, family of three, signed up for the 7-day Machame route with Africa Natural Tours. Godfrey has been very helpful, answering many of our questions prior to the climb and also helped to arrange our airport transfer. Our guides (Baraka and Nukka) and porters (Frank, Wilson, Walter, Abdul and many others) were very supportive during the climb. Food was great although we loss our appetite at higher altitude. During the summit night, our two guides plus one summit porter (Abdul) went with us and they provided great encouragement, supports and understanding, led to the successful summit on Boxing day. On the descend, my boy managed to pick up the 'African ski' down the scree. Overall, very happy with the support provided and appreciate the hospitality of the celebration.

Awesome experience, awesome memories! - For us (David, Lucas and Marvin), three guys from Germany, it was not easy to choose a tour provider for our Kilimanjaro ascent, because all of the provider we found seemed to have a 5 star rating on Google & other platforms. Because Africa Natural had a really good media presence in various channels (Instagram, Facebook, TripAdvisor, Website etc.) they convinced us too book them and we had a really fair price for our 7-days Machame route. We choose the medium price, but there is a more comfortable option as well. Before we came to Tanzania we wanted to make a prepayment for the tour, but neither WISE nor Western Union worked out. This felt a little suspicious to me, but it turned out that all is fine. We could also pay the tour in the ANT headquarter when we arrived in Moshi. The hotel "Kilimanjaro White House Hotel", which ist a little bit outside of the city center turned to be quite nice with a rooftop that enables a beautiful view on the Uhuru Peak. The staff was also really friendly and the rooms are totally okay. In our 2 days before the route started, we had time to arrive in Tansania, got briefed by our guide Nelson about the next 7 days and rent additional gear. I recommend starting the climb on the third day, to have time arrive and adapt well and without stress. The tour itself went accordingly to plan and we had a really good support from the whole crew. All the tents (sleeping & dinning) we're in place when we arrived at the camps, the food was varied, our waiter brought us hot tea to our tent every morning and our guides played a crucial role in our summit success story. They briefed us every evening for the next days, advised us what to wear, prepared us mentaly for all the challenges and were even doctors, for example when I twisted my ancle. Also we learned a lot from them about the people, the culture and the country Tanzania itself. Our guides spoke fluent english, some Porters spoke okay english and some just a few word's, but there was always a way to communicate. Looking back now, two weeks later and back in Germany, the experience could not have been better. Thank you Africa Natural Tours for organizing this experience that we will remember for a lifetime. Special thanks to Nelson, Jackson, Kisa, Benjamin, Chass, Hazi and the rest of the crew! For you its daily business, for us its a vision & dream came true, that inspired a lot of people around us.

AMAZING TOUR COMPANY FROM TANZANIA - I had an incredible Kilimanjaro experience through Machame route traveling with Africa Natural Tours. All of the team was amazing and very cooperative starting from Mr Godfrey the company manager together with his working team including sales team, professional guide, porters and cooks. I can not say much but recommending this company for any of your Tanzania safari. I look forward to coming again and use the same company in Tanzania.

Machame tour - Just came back from the Machame route... The trip has been amazing, from planning through to execution. Africa natural tour team has made everything easy and went out of their way to make the whole trip as comfortable as possible. I have the utmost respect to both the porters and the guides. This trip would not have been possible without them. We have been treated like royalty to the point where I really felt guilty sitting back. We have been looked after with care and interest from the team. Then the food….oh my chefs impressed us with the variety and quality of food offered so much so that “eat BIG” was not a difficult task. I have actually gained some extra weight from this trip. Unfortunately, one of our dearest members could not summit with the team due to health concerns. The chief guide, David, acted professionally and swiftly in assisting the member back to safety for proper care. Hats off to the guide and porters for transporting our team member quickly off the mountain. Overall, I have had an awesome experience and many fond memories. Thank you! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a tour company to realize their bucket list item in the adventures they offer.
