Marangu - Departing from Moshi a 60-minute drive will take you through the Village of Marangu to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. We will patiently wait for our permits to be issued while watching the hustle and bustle of operations as many crews prepare for the journey ahead enjoy the beautiful rainforest scenery and windy trails while your guide tells you about the local flora and fauna and natural wildlife.

Incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable guides! - We chose to do the Marangu route with ZAFS tours and had a great experience! We had minimal experience climbing mountains and though we could have trained a lot more, our guides Alex and Moshi as well as all of our kilifighters were motivational, supportive and incredibly patient in helping us safely reach the top. A few instances that stood out: 1. Right from the start, our guides shared their wealth of experience in helping us ensure we had the right equipment to climb the mountain, helping us choose what we needed from the rental equipment store before the climb. 2. As a member of our group was quite slow, Alex patiently guided her to each camp while the rest of us moved ahead. On a particularly long day, a few of the kilifighters made their way down the mountain to meet her with tea and snacks for energy for the rest of the way. 3. The food (especially the soup) was very good and the cook was kind enough to make adjustments for a picky eater in our group as requested. 4. Alex and Moshi have a lot of knowledge about the mountain and were able to share information and answer questions about the terrain and history, even pointing out different plants/animals only found on the mountain. The guides and the kilifighters also shared the culture of the mountain through songs and dance. 5. One family member did not climb and the team kindly provided updates for him through a Whatsapp group throughout our climb, especially when we didn’t have wifi/phone battery. Although it was a lot tougher than expected, we are incredibly appreciative of the patience and kindness shown by the entire team! If we were to return, we wouldn’t choose anyone else to go with!

Amazing Experience with ZAFS Tours - My son and I had an amazing experience with ZAFS Tours. We recently completed a 6 day hike on the Marangu Route and successfully reached Uhuru Peak. ZAFS guides were outstanding and made our climb even more memorable. I want to thank our main guides Prosper and Eric who were very experience and very informative. I like to thank the other team members(Marcelo,Godfrey,Adam and Joseph) who made our climb to The Roof Africa and extraordinary journey. I want to also thank ZAFS Tours owner Huzeifa and his family who were very professional and looked after us from the start of our journey. Thank you ZAFS Tours for making our trip memorable and will cherish forever.

Zafs Marangu trek - The guides were really supportive, encouraging and helpful. The food served was top tier, provided all the energy we needed for the trek. Moreover the porters always delivered our duffle bags on time and also helped us get down to kibo when we were entirely exhausted after summiting to the peak.
