7-Days-Machame-Tour and 3-Days-Safari - We booked the 7-days-Machame-Tour and a 3-days-Safari-Tour with Africa Natural Tours. Everything was very well organized and Godfrey answered our questions always very fast. The Machame Tour was great! The whole team was always kind and friendy and the food was excellent (many thanks to Eduard)! We always felt well looked after and well informed by our guides Frank and Amin. We enjoyed the whole trip (incl. the safari) very much and we can warmly recommend Africa Natural Tours! A big thanks to everybody!

Memorable tour - Our family recently took the 7-day Machame Route with Africa Natural Tours, and we had a fantastic experience. The team was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Our guide, porters, and cook were all highly skilled, and we felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. The Machame Route offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, and our guide was excellent at pointing out geological features, wildlife, and flora along the way. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, and the food was delicious, even at high altitudes. One of the highlights of the trip was reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro. Our guide prepared us well for the climb, and we felt confident and capable as we made our way to the top. The sense of accomplishment and awe at standing at the highest point in Africa will stay with us forever. Overall, we highly recommend Africa Natural Tours for anyone interested in climbing Kilimanjaro. The team is top-notch, and the experience is truly unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Once in a lifetime experience - I first selected this operator because they had one of the most affordable options for climbing Kilimanjaro. The experience however turned out to be phenomenal right from the time I was picked up from the airport by Henry Tuma. On our hour long journey from the airport to Moshi he gave me some history about Kilimanjaro and other interesting stories about how he learnt his ‘broken’ English on the job. The rest of the tour was better than I expected. The team of 7 assigned to me were very friendly and did their best to make sure I got to the top. Isack, my guide for the trip told me several stories about his previous experiences up the mountain as we climbed. He also gave me crash courses on the various species of plants peculiar to Mount Kilimanjaro. The highlight of it all for me was when my guide and one of the porters, Walter, each on one side helped me almost halfway down the mountain because I was beyond exhausted. On our way down I had a sore knee and blisters so the chef from the team, Saidi, carried me on his back intermittently. This was really a once in a lifetime experience for me

Kili hike 7 days Machame Route - An amazing experience courtesy Africa Natural Tours. Honesty is the hallmark of the company. They actually want you to have good time. I took a 7 day machame route package. My very able guide Solomon advised me to reach the base camp on fourth day. So we have another day to attempt summit if unable to do the first day. I ended up completing the Kili trip in 6 days instead of 7. Guys at Africa Natural tours are not after your money. So Godfrey arranged an extra day hotel for me. It was a very kind gesture. I am definitely going to recommend them to all my friends who wants to visit Tanzania.

African Natural tours the best !!! - I must say that .....this was the best decision in choosing African Natural tours for my Kilimanjaro trek since there where many to choose from . Right from the starting they have taken care of us and attended to all our needs . Godfrey Ngazia the managing director of African tours was attending to all our needs and provided us with a wonderful and experienced guides & potters . Some of the names I like mention are our head guide Crispin , Martini ( assistant guide ) and Joseph ( care taker ) ...not mention the other crew members support ,without them our hike wouldn't be successfully completed .Wishing African Natural tours all the best for the future and I strongly recommend others to go for the adventure in Tanzania through them ......

Machame 7 days with Afrika Natural Tours - Afrika Natural Tours (ANT) is a great tour operator ! They arranged for my family Kilimanjaro Machame 7 days trekking, 2 days safari in Tarangire & Ngorongoro NPs. We did all of that ! All of us climbed to the summit of Kilimamjaro thanks to great guides provided by ANT - Mudi & Optat despite initial problems with high mountain sickness - the guides helped us to accomodate the high elevation ! ANT organized everything for us, including all transfers from the airport, for safari, to the hotels, etc. They are very friendly, flexible and have great approach to their clints ! They even arranged birthday cake & souvenir for my son’s 18-th birthday at Kilimanjaro !!! Strongly recommend to use Afrika Natural Tours for any activity you plan to have in Tanzania !!!

Best Experience Climbing Kili - My boyfriend and I reached out to multiple companies and chose to go with African Natural Tours and we’re so glad we did! We weren’t sure how our bodies would respond to such high altitude but the Machame route is a perfect route to take to acclimatize. Also our guides were wonderful in pacing us as we were climbing up. Our guide Gabriel was very experienced and always was checking in to see how we were doing so he could set the pace based on how we were feeling. Our guide Isaac was very knowledgeable in the plants and animals and the guides were very good at coordinating together and with our team to schedule the day appropriately. The porters were very punctual, they had always set up camp and had our stuff ready when we arrived at camp (they are so strong!). The food was very good too, always fresh fruit, vegetables, carbs, and lots of options (which is crazy on a mountain). We are vegan so we were very happy that they accommodated for our diet. Our tent and campsite was top quality and made it easy to relax at the end of the day. We were originally going to do 7 days but since we were feeling so good, we asked our guide if we could do 6 instead (since days 4 and 5 seemed too short for us). The guide wanted to make sure we felt ok before deciding to do a shorter route since he wanted to make sure we felt our absolute best for the summit. Since we were still feeling good at the end of day 3 our guide said he would coordinate with the team to do the 6 day route. For us, 6 days was perfect and we didn’t experience any altitude sickness or anything climbing to the summit. The guides were very helpful with the strenuous summit day and we were able to summit as the sun rose. It was an incredible experience. We’re sad it’s over but happy we have such great memories of climbing Kili. Also Godfrey was very responsive and easy to coordinate with via WhatsApp. He also scheduled a driver to pick us up from the airport, helped us rent gear and run errands in town, and reserved a stay at the White House Hotel in moshi the night before and after the climb. It was a very clean, comfortable stay which definitely helps to get a good nights rest before and after the climb. I would highly recommend African Natural Tours for climbing Kilimanjaro. They go above and beyond to make your climb a wonderful experience. And I would highly recommend Gabriel as your guide since he was a great coordinator, always checked in with us, was fun to talk to, and was very knowledgeable about the mountain.
