6 days Kilimanjaro climbing via Marangu route - I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Africa Natural Tours on February 15, 2023. It is a very good and best company. Mountain Kilimanjaro guide helped me a lot in one way and another until I reached the top. Also, the chef served me good food on time, even their waiter is good, and the porters were very happy for me, and they were very generous. Thank you very much, I am very grateful to the whole team of Africa Natural Tours, a company with the reputation of being given five stars 🌟 and I will advise other travelers to book with you to climb Kilimanjaro. Thank you very much.

Best company ever! - Africa natural tours organized everything for me and my friends. Everyone has been nice to us (drivers, guides, porters). We really enjoyed our trip with them (kilimanjaro ascent, 3 days safaris, fews days in Zanzibar...) The prices are low and a part of your money goes to Godson Charity, an organization helping kids who are living in poor condition. I recommend this company to everyone who wants to visit Tanzania!! They have been a family.
