For Mount Kilimanjaro, go exclusively with Kiliholidays - I can't say enough wonderful things about Kiliholidays. From Mack expertly managing all the logistics during the planning phase to the outstanding Kilimanjaro and safari teams, everything was exceptional. We spent a great deal of time researching tour companies before our trip, and all five of us were beyond pleased with Kiliholidays. Their attention to detail and level of care were truly remarkable. As a well-traveled group, we were blown away by the exceptional customer service and genuine care shown by everyone we met. The warmth, gracious hospitality, and commitment to our well-being were second to none. Save yourself the research and book directly with the Kiliholidays team—you won’t be disappointed

Adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro! - Our ascent of Kilimanjaro via the Machame route with kiliholidays Tours was an extraordinary and indelible experience for both my husband and myself. The highly knowledgeable Johnson as a guides and Gabriel assistance guide together with the 6 crews provided exceptional support throughout our trek, prioritizing our safety, comfort, and hospitality needs. The Machame route showcased a remarkable array of landscapes and awe-inspiring vistas, imbuing each day's trek with a sense of uniqueness and exhilaration. The team's impeccable organization, encompassing camp setup and meals, allowed us to fully concentrate on the climb itself. In conclusion, we wholeheartedly endorse kiliholidays Team for their consummate professionalism, expertise, and ability to orchestrate an unforgettable adventure on our Mount Kilimanjaro. Thanks team and keep it up always and always.

High professionalism for mount kilimanjaro - The Kiliholidays personnel went above and above to ensure an unparalleled experience, creating an atmosphere of exceptional kindness and professionalism. Their responses to a range of circumstances were not only perfectly thought out but also performed, demonstrating their extensive training and experience. Normally, I would become a little nervous on these kinds of trips, but on kiliholidays, I could relax and concentrate on the simple rhythm of taking one step at a time, adopting the "pole pole" strategy. I can't thank them enough for helping to make my trip to the roof of Africa into an incredible adventure. We appreciate Mack setting things up for us.

Kilimanjaro trek - I just got back from this tour and they were superb, From start to finish they couldn’t have done enough for me. The guides and porters on the mountain were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you to help you. I Done the Kilimanjaro trek but while I was up a family member passed so I couldn’t do the safari Which was planned after it. I told mac this and he was brilliant with me making sure all my flights were sorted home and my transport to the airport was sorted. The variety of food on the mountain was astounding every day 3 completely different fresh meals with something for everyone. I can’t recomend this group enough as they were brilliant from start to finish and made this once in a lifetime experience one I won’t forget.

Great company - Couldn't have asked for a better company, guides/porters on our hike were superb, kept us going throughout the hike and even managed to finish in 6 days rather than 7 thanks to the guides(Raymond, tumaini and dixon) recognising that we were comfortable with the pace and altitude. All the porters were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. (julius, emmanuel, jift) these are just names that stand out personally to me but every single porter was brilliant. We were very surprised at how well fed we were on the mountain, most of us expected to lose weight hiking but there is a good chance that we gained it with the amount and the quality of the food on offer (chef Juma). We also did 4 days on safari and our driver Thomas was very good. He could spot animals way before any of us spotted them and he was very good at answering any questions we had about them. He was also very happy to drive us around Arusha to get beers on our rest days. The main man Mack was very helpful in organising the trip and was always just a whatsapp message away. The trip was actually rearranged 3 times and he made this very stressless. Would definitely recommend using kiliholidays to anyone thinking of hiking or going on safari.

Great experience with kiliholidays! - Our multi day journey through the Machame  was very first rate by the kiliholidays Team. The journey is really not so intense, notwithstanding its tallness of 5895 Meters. We observed it to be very reasonable, particularly with our guide's assistance (Basta, Laurian and Richard! ). He was extremely strong all through and that was encouraging to us.
Our most agreeable part was presumably perceiving how the vegetation gradually changes as you move higher in height. That is something we didn't actually see in different trips, There were in reality a many individuals on the Kili journey, which at times implied it could become busy (particularly at the highest point attempting to get your photograph).
We're certainly content with the help from the organization, and we should likewise compliment the cook for the food, which was exceptionally tasty. We do feel we gotten a fair deal. Thanks Mack-owner of the organization for the incredible experience.

Recommend Kilihokidays - What an undertaking. From the rainforest to the elevated desert. Awesome perspectives on the Machame course. kiliholidays worked effectively. They are a neighborhood organization and in addition to the fact that they organized the mountain journey, yet they dealt with all our air terminal exchanges, safari. The mountain is a hard move because of the height - which at last improved of me and made them drop in obscurity on culmination day rather than the last climb. However, the experience of the view, the actual trial of capacity, and wondering about the simplicity of the Guides ( Basta and Richard!) made it an entirely important outing.

Best experience ever! - We lived it up with Kiliholidays during the trips to Kilimanjaro, Me and my better half did the Machame Route up to the highest point of Kilimanjaro, the most noteworthy point in Africa and it will be probably my best memory of life. Most due to the phenomenal gathering of explorers, watchmen and the best of every one of: the aides. On the off chance that you intend to go there request Basta, John, and Richard to be your aides and the stunning Musa that served us all suppers during nowadays and they all spread bliss and you had a sense of safety with them. After Kilimanjaro we went on a three-day safari, there we had with us two people from the climbing bunch, our #1 British couple Margret and Scott. We had the joy to be directed by the incomparable Edward that showed us a ton of creatures like lions, elephants, giraffes, and some more. The inns we remained at both in Arusha and by the safari were astonishing and we completely delighted in them. I don't have anything to gripe about during the entire excursion, everything went all around well from we loaded onto the plane (Ethiopian Airlines) in Poland until we were back once more. Extraordinary on account of Kiliholidays Team!

AMAZING experience of Kilimanjaro and Safari with Kiliholidays! - I booked to climb Kilimanjaro and then do a safari with Kiliholidays (Mack, who was great at organising it all). I booked the 7 day machame route, which is most scenic and every day had incredible views, recommend this route! I have to say it was the best experience of my life, summiting is unexplainable you HAVE to do it yourself to totally understand the amazing, for me emotional, breathtaking (literally lol) moment and due to one guy, my guide Rufano Mushi this was made possible, not only was he a guide, he was a friend. He made sure himself and his brilliant team went beyond everything they could do to make it a brilliant experience, I can defiantly say they exceeded in performance and expectation, I cannot thank them enough. Their smiles and support filled the camp every second of the day making even the tough times a lot easier. Every day was its own challenge and unique experience building up to the final summit day, Rufano was professional in every way and totally trustworthy and as a young (20 year old) single girl from England travelling for the first time on my own I felt totally safe and comfortable the entire trip. Rufano was encouraging making us all laugh everyday, he made sure we all had what we needed (and if I was missing something he made it available on hire) and from the very first time I met him at our briefing he was full of passion and determination that I would achieved what I wanted too, this passion was constant throughout the trip and myself and my amazing group submitted! His experience showed through his great knowledge and communication was easy, his English is nearly as good as mine! I learnt a lot from him, if I was in Arusha for longer I would have also loved to have gone on a coffee tour and visited the hot springs which I know he takes clients too, I will have to come back again! I don’t want to give to much away from Kilimanjaro because it’s an individual experience, am amazing sense of achievement which effects everyone differently I would love to encourage anyone thinking about it to just go for it and from my experience Rufano is a perfect guide! Oh and not to mention he is a great photographer capturing many special moment throughout the trip!
We summited in 6 days instead of 7 due to Rufanos suggestion due to his experience and knowledge of the weather conditions not being the best if we had that extra day, myself and group trusted his opinion (he gave us the option totally up to us what we did as we paid for 7 days) but he knew best, and it was the best decision we made It did mean squeezing 2 days into 1 but It showed it was a great decision because we made it to the top ( YAY) and I’m greatful and so so glad we did it! This is just one example of Rufano thinking about what is best for this clients in order to achieve that end goal. he is a humble great guy who only wants the best for you! This meant we had an extra day of rest before safari which I was also grateful for!
The safari was amazing During this 4-day camping safari you will visit the Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park. We saw lots and also saw rare things such as a leopard and also 10 lions catching a buffalo! Our driver was knowledgable of the animals and parks! Totally recommend this! Amazing experience! Thank you Kiliholidays, everything was organised from my airport pick up until last day of safari where I had my own accommodation sorted in Arusha (they dropped you off and were more than happy to stop by a shop on way back). Overall the best experience which I will treasure for the rest of my life no problem was too big/too small I couldn’t have asked for more!
