Additional Information

The Machame Route is renowned for its stunning beauty and boasts the highest number of successful ascents. It operates on the principle of ‘climb high, sleep low,’ allowing your body sufficient time to acclimatize to altitude changes across multiple days. Although you can complete the climb in six or seven days, we generally recommend taking the longer route to optimize acclimatization and enhance your odds of reaching the summit.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Excellent Service by Williamson Adventure - We had an exceptional experience with Williamson Adventure, arranging two activities with them back-to-back: a safari and a Kilimanjaro climb. Despite finalizing our plans just a week before departure, they managed everything seamlessly, and the pricing remained standard with a generous discount from the owner. For the safari, booking a tented camp usually requires advance notice, but after we confirmed our plans, the owner personally took the time to call and email the hotels repeatedly to check availability. Our safari guide was extremely professional and experienced. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all of the Big Five, including a rhino that we photographed up close. The entire safari was a fantastic experience. This positive experience led us to choose Williamson Adventure for our subsequent Kilimanjaro climb. After finalizing the itinerary, the owner personally took us to rent the necessary equipment, even staying with us until 9 PM. He also recommended some excellent local restaurants. The climbing guides and staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and professional, always attentive to our physical condition and well-being. They provided invaluable assistance throughout the climb, helping us successfully reach the summit. We are extremely grateful for the services provided by the company and its staff. We highly recommend Williamson Adventure!

A team of professionals that I would recommend - WilliamsomAdventures is a very recommendable Safari team, in the pre-consultation and confirmation of details William gave me the biggest feeling of professionalism and reliability. As I was travelling alone with my children on the safari, I was very satisfied with the safety and hassle-free experience throughout the trip, all the matters were just as William had arranged for us before departure, and all our requirements were greatly satisfied. Our guide, Ibra, was very professional on our safari and helped us to maximise our safari with safety in mind, we saw a lot of animals on our journey and he introduced us to many of them to help us understand the land better. Undoubtedly, my children and I were very impressed with this trip in July and I would gladly recommend them to friends who are interested in going Safari in Tanzania.

7-Day LeMosho Route - I'm thrilled with Williamson Adventures! My brother and I traveled from Canada and were initially quite nervous about trekking Mount Kilimanjaro. However, upon arriving in Moshi, all our nerves vanished. We were warmly welcomed at the hotel by William and one of our guides, who were incredibly friendly. The rest of the trip was fantastic! The guides, porters, and cooks were all amazing, and the food was delicious. The support and encouragement we received throughout exceeded our expectations. Planning the trip required some coordination, but William was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. For example, he seamlessly arranged our pick-up from Nairobi to Moshi. He also organized an extra night at the hotel in Moshi and an airport shuttle, even though he didn't have to. This company truly goes above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. We highly, highly recommend Williamson Adventures! Thanks to William, our guides Kevin and Yoeseff, and our amazing porters—the real superheroes!

7-Day Migration Safari with Williamson: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience! - My friend and I had a 7-day migration safari (River Crossing) with Williamson Adventures exceeded our expectations. The captivating sights of wildebeest herds were absolutely breathtaking, a true testament to the wonders of nature. Our knowledgeable guide Raymond made the experience even more remarkable with his deep understanding of the wildlife and their behaviors. The seamless combination of the safari with a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour added a perfect touch of cultural immersion. The lush greenery and the thundering waterfall were a sight to behold, and the coffee tour was enlightening. Williamson's team orchestrated a flawless journey, ensuring comfort and safety throughout. This safari was a life-changing experience, and I'm incredibly grateful to William and his team for making it so exceptional.

Unforgettable experience in Tanzania - The Ultimate Tanzanian Safari and Cultural Experience! I can't thank Williamson enough for the incredible 7-day migration safari adventure. Witnessing the Great Migration in person was an awe-inspiring spectacle, and Raymond Our Guide added an educational layer that deepened our appreciation. His passion for wildlife is contagious! The highlight was coupling this safari with a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour. The waterfall's beauty left us speechless, and the coffee tour was a delightful insight into the local culture.

Perfect Kilimanjaro trek, perfect safari, perfect Guide - From the first day of emailing Williamson Adventures for a safari and Kilimanjaro quote we were answered in professional way with full of information about the tour in Tanzania.The Director William was helpful and well organized our Kilimanjaro trek and 5 days safari , we started hiking for 6 days machame , the team was very helpful and the porter were strong and friends they really supported us to carry our luggages and guide was very professional especially during the summit day we really appreciate them . After safari we went to safari where we saw many animals excluding rhino because the guide explained that they're now endangered sometimes it's hard to spot them although it was good experience, the food good and accommodation was superb with high comfortability. Thanks Williamson Adventures for making our trip unforgettable

7-Days Kilimanjaro route (Lemosho) + 2 Day Safari trip - Amaizing experience - We climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route (7 days) and then went for a 2-day safari trip. Even though we are not professional high mountain climbers we made it to the top with no problem thanks to the whole team. We even drank champagne at the top! Guides who have more than 20 Years of experience and porters are very professional and friendly. The food at the Kilimanjaro hike was way better than expected. We ate what we said we wanted to eat at the beginning of the trip. 2 days Safari trip was also a fantastic experience we saw a lot of different animals (just didn't see the rhinos from the big five). We are glad we found Williamson Adventures and went on this adventure with them. Everything was organized to the smallest details and we really felt safe with them for the whole duration of our stay. Thanks for everything William!

Amazing Kilimanjaro trek!!! - We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Williamson’s adventures. We made the Machame Route in 7 days and we spend my birthday on the mountain. It was an incredible experience and we recommend everyone to do it. We could not have reached the summit without our guides martin and Florence the whole crew was incredible, smiling, singing, and helping us as much as they could: it was also a great human experience. We didn't expect to have such incredible food on the mountain, thanks to our cook Tito we had amazing and nutritious food to reach the summit. Williamson Adventures also provided us with private toilets for the climb. We also felt very safe because the pulses and oxygen in our blood were checked twice a day. We highly recommend Williamson Adventures Thank you for everything!
