The greatest company & people! Thank you HABARI Adventure! - Where to start?! My experience with HABARI had been nothing short of Incredible! They really took great care of us, having conversations with us, going above & beyond, & welcoming our group to their family! From the beginning, communication with Stan & Caroline was smooth. Answered all of my inquiries. They are a local company & it seem that every guide/ porter I spoke with are happy with Habari. They also accommodated me & my very slow hiking pace. Hehe The food was delicious, I still think about some of those meals. Thank you chef “mama Jimmy” hehe!. Our guides- Sam, Abdi, Joseph, Innocent, Agustino were always so supportive & encouraging. I would like to thank Sam our guide who did not let me quit during Summit night & continued to push me & believe that I could make it. & to Samson one of the porters who also took such great care of me especially during Summit night & supported me all the way down to basecamp along with Jacobo. All 11 of us in our group reached Uhuru Peak.
All the porters were incredible, friendly, considerate, strong. I have an utmost respect & admiration for each & everyone of them! I also booked Maasai tour and 1-day Safari with Habari (thank you Innocent our guide/driver to Maasai and to & from the airport & to the greatest Safari guide & photographer Michael) From the bottom of my heart, Asante Sana Habari Adventure! I miss you all & will be back soon. You made me fall inlove with Tanzania , especially the people! -Elleinne

Kilimanjaro 8 days Lemosho - incredible experience! - What an incredible experience with Habari Adventure! Climbing Kilimanjaro was an experience I will never forget! The staff is amazing, they treat you like you are in a 5- star hotel, and they really make a difference on the mountain! Our guides Abdi, Joseph, Innocent, Samson and Augustino did an amazing job! And also all the porters, guys you are incredible! The food was amazing and everyone was always positive, even when times are hard. And I can’t thank Innocent enough, he did an amazing job to get me to the summit, thanks a lot! I can HIGHLY recommend Habari Adventure when climbing Kilimanjaro. They are a local company, good for the staff and deliver a unforgettable experience!

A family trip of a lifetime! Thank you Habari Adventures - At the end of last year, we began to think about climbing Kilimanjaro. I sent out many enquiries asking companies for their thoughts on taking a family of 5 - 2 adults and 3 children aged 15, 13 and 11 - to the roof of Africa. Understandably, every company had reservations - everyone apart from Habari Adventures.
Stan Wilfred's response was so warm and positive that we decided to go for it and we are so very glad we did. Our experience with Habari Adventures was simply incredible and their service was faultless.
Prior to our trip, Stan was professional, knowledgeable and hugely passionate about ensuring we had the best possible trip. He helped us to tailor the itinerary to give our children the best possible chance of summiting and he had a wealth of advice on everything from flights and training to kit and tips.
Everyone we met from Habari was warm, friendly and had a great sense of humour. They all loved working for Habari and described it as one big family that we soon felt we became a part of.
Taking your 3 children to the top of Kilimanjaro is a very daunting experience but they did everything they could to ensure we were well-fed, comfortable and - most importantly for me - safe. Their guides are so experienced and we trusted them completely. With the twice daily health checks, we knew we were in good shape for summiting. Summit night was incredibly tough but our team of guides and porters were simply amazing - carrying our day bags, constantly encouraging us and intuitively knowing when to give us a break and when we to keep pushing us
Standing on the roof of Africa with my family is one of - if not the - greatest experiences of my life and we are so grateful to Stan and his whole team at Habari Adventures.

Mount Kilimanjaro experience with children - Habari team got 10 of us, including 6 children aged 10,11,13 and 15 to the summit. Stan organised a wonderful team led by Leon who were amazing and made this adventure happen for us. They organised the lovely food, detailed checks and motivated and supported the children when it got physically and mentally challenging. We could not have done it without them. They were incredible. The team of guides, porters, cooks and helpers were very planned. I will be forever grateful to them for this wonderful. I would highly recommend Habari Adventure.
Habari team never lose.

Group of 5 Lemosho route success with Habari - Would absolutely recommend Habari Adventure Group for a Mt Kili climb! We were looking for a more intimate, personal experience versus typical large group tourism type climb. We were a group of 5. From start to finish we received exceptional care! Above and beyond anything we could imagine. My Garmin watch needed to be charged and I lost my charging cord. Our guide Leon contacted another group, had a porter take my watch down to Barafu camp, once fully charged (5 hours) the porter went back down, picked up my watch and brought back to me at Kosovo camp so I could have my watch for summit night. This is just one example of the care Our group received. All I can say is they all were kind, caring, passionate and gave us the courage to overcome any doubts we had in making it to the summit, and….all 5 of us made it!

Kilamanjaro Lemosho Hike - We were to do the 8 day Lemosho hike Aug 7-14, however due to flight delays we missed our first day and ended up doing a 7 day Lemosho. I would like to extend our greatest thank-you to Yusuph our lead guide and all the guys who attended us from porters to cooks, servers. I am 72 years old and could not have felt safer and in better hands than with Yusuph. He is a gentleman, scholar, and extremely competent person to have in charge. I hiked with my daughter, 42 and son in law, 38 years old. The food was hearty, warm, filling and extremely good. We danced, sang and laughed for 7 days. I must say this crew is a stellar example of Tanzanian people. They were always happy, upbeat, supportive and caring. Do yourself a favor and hike with this crew. Was a memorable trip i will treasure.

Excellent Kili and Safari trip with Habari - I did the 8 day lemosho route and 5 day safari with Habari team and everything was excellent about them. My kili trip was solo and safari was camping safari with family.
Pe trip - Stan Wilfred, the owner was super fast in his communication through WhatsApp and everything was clear. Once I landed in kili airport, the pickup was already there. Innocent, who was there for pickup gave a good brief of moshi, kili and how my days will be. Next day was the briefing day with Emanuel the guide coming and briefing us and doing a gear check. Some elements I didn't carry, but the team helped with renting the additional stuff.
The trek was all taken care. We started as 4 people in trek, but split from Shira 1 as the other 3 had signed up for 7 day lemosho. So while I was doing my trip solo, I had a team of 1 guide Modi, My personal waiter Gasper Kaka, Chef Eugene and team of 2 porters and 1 toilet man to take care of the private toilet. Despite being solo, I never felt being away from family. The team took very good care of me. Specially Modi and Gasper. I wouldn't have been able to summit had Modi not been there. Eugene cooked excellent and I had more than sufficient to eat. Every day dinner will be followed by a briefing for next day and oxygen check. Oxygen check would also be in the morning.
In a nutshell you cam chose habari without batting an eyelid
Safari post kili was a family experience. It was a ping safari where we carried everything in our safari jeep. Our guide Octavian was highly knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm. Our Chef Remy was equally gd. Sone days he would wake up at 3 am To prepare breakfast and lunch so that we could leave at 7 am for the morning drive.
The team was always on time including airport pickup up and drops
There are foreign companies operating here. But habari is a local company and takes good care of its employees and its customers. I will definitely recommended them to anyone coming for African safari or kilimanjaro trek

Trip of a lifetime, thanks to Habari! - What a terrific experience the 8 day Lemosho route was with Habari. Our guides Mudy and Godlizen (G) were terrific. They were super friendly, helpful, and kept us motivated. The porters, chefs, and other trail staff were equally friendly and helpful. The trip would not have been possible without them! By the end of the trek, we all felt like family. We also booked a safari with Habari, and it was an amazing experience as well. A+ service.

Amazing service for Kilimanjaro trek - My experience with Habari Adventure was exceptional, especially the Kilimanjaro climb.
Our guides Emanuel, Benson and Inocent were brilliant - knowledgeable, well organised and reassuring. I always felt that I was in safe hands. The entire crew were amazing. Every need was met. They were always looking for ways to help, whether that was offering a hand to help climb a steep section of the track or filling up our water bottles while we were getting ready. The food was delicious, the equipment was good and I really enjoyed the conversations we had.
The safari was also great. We saw some amazing animals especially in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Kili was my highlight though.
Booking was easy. Stan answered all my many questions promptly via email. I had been nervous to pay via international bank transfer but it all went smoothly. From the moment I arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport and met the Habari driver to the moment I was dropped off at the end, I felt well looked after. I had a wonderful time in Tanzania thanks to Habari.

Such an Amazing Experience - I highly recommend Habari adventure for trekking Kilimanjaro. Everything from start to finish was perfect. Our team was amazing and we truly could not have made it up the summit without all their help.
