Kilimanjaro Treking with Zafs Tours Via Lemosho Route - Kilimanjaro Treking with Zafs- Lemosho Route It was my 2nd time getting service from ZAFS. Huzeifa and the entire team work very professionally and give out the best quality service. They provide the best high-quality mountain gear from Gilmans store for trek use. Gilmans store staff ensures the right size and comfortable gears are provided to use. I appreciate Rukhaiya for her guidance regarding the trek and to get the right mountain gear. The constant motivation, guidance, and support received from my guides (Mussa & Ezekiel) and the team (Rajab, Saidi, Priscus, and every team member) were very much appreciated. (You all are truly amazing) My dream to conquer the mountain was achieved successfully only because of the entire team. Huge thanks to the entire ZAFS team 🙏🙌 Highly recommended tour agency.

Glad we chose ZAFS - ZAFS Tours exceeded all expectations during our Mt. Kilimanjaro expedition, thanks to their outstanding team of guides—Amani, Faruq, Mussa, and Majumba. The service was truly exceptional from start to finish. The guides demonstrated unparalleled care throughout the journey. Their attention to our well-being, health, and safety was remarkable. They went above and beyond, ensuring we were acclimatizing properly, providing timely reminders for hydration, and keeping a close eye on our overall comfort. A special mention goes to Amani, Faruq, Mussa, and Majumba for their genuine concern and support during challenging moments. The food provided on the mountain was both nourishing and delicious, surpassing typical trekking expectations. The guides ensured dietary preferences and restrictions were considered, making the dining experience on Kilimanjaro an unexpected highlight. It felt like a home-cooked meal at high altitudes. One notable instance of their exceptional service was when, on summit night, we realized we had forgotten our windbreakers. The guides swiftly arranged replacements on the spot, displaying not only their preparedness but also their dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety during the most crucial part of the trek. The camaraderie and fun shared with the guides made the journey memorable. They brought a lively spirit to the expedition, creating an atmosphere that turned strangers into a close-knit group. Their professionalism was evident in every aspect of the trek, fostering an environment that balanced adventure with safety. Huzeifa, the owner of ZAFS Tours, played a pivotal role in orchestrating this seamless experience. His attention to detail, commitment to customer satisfaction, and hands-on approach to managing the operation were evident throughout. Accommodations both before and after the trek were comfortable and well-organized, adding a touch of luxury to bookend the rugged adventure. By the end of the expedition, the group, including the guides and Huzeifa, felt like one big family. The bonds formed during the trek were a testament to the warmth and hospitality of ZAFS Tours. The combination of professionalism, personalized care, and a genuine passion for their work made this Mt. Kilimanjaro experience truly exceptional. ZAFS Tours has set the bar high for adventure tourism, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an unforgettable trekking experience.

MAGNIFICENT KILLIMANJARO with ZAFS - We had an incredible 7 day Lemosho trip for a group of 6 of us. Zafs took care of everything & supported us in every way before, after & in the trip. There were moments when things were hard-they had prepared us for these times. They were aware of our limitations and our needs & were next to us when we needed them. I couldn’t have got to the top without our guides John, Gabriel & Janeth. And the porters & chef-what can I say-they carry all that gear on their backs & always smiling. They are real heros. The food they carry & prepare was excellent. The toilet tent was never a ‘no go’ zone! They chatted with us & taught me so much about Tanzania that I didn’t know previously. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore more of this beautiful country. I will definitely come back to see more. I would highly recommend Zafs. 🙏🏽 Asante

The most fun you could have with 8 days of rain on Kilimanjaro - Our experience with ZAFS was nothing less than outstanding. Through ZAFS our group went on a 3 day safari to Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti, and completed the 8 day Lemosho Route. The Safari was left by the welcoming and ever friendly Ephraim. During our three days our group of five had a private land cruiser, saw every one of the big five, as well as lion cubs! The nights were spent in the most incredible lodging, we slept in cabins in the Serengeti, waking up to the sounds of lions, cats, and Giraffes. Throughout our time on the safari, Ephraim brought great vibes, I'd recommend him to anyone :) Our trek was led by John, who empowered us beyond our limits, while listening to any issues we had. His knowledge of the mountain and timely stories prepared us for each day. The four other guides on the trek were Amani, Gabriel, Hillary, and Moses. Each of them brought their own knowledge and experience, and by the end of the trip each of us had become close friends with them. The Lemosho Route was lovely, even if our time was unluckily filled with rain. Acclimation was key to 10/11 of our group summiting, and 8 days on the Lemosho Route allowed for plenty of it. A highlight was as we reached the top of the Barangu wall, Amani brought out a speaker and we had an impromptu dance party to celebrate the sunshine and view. As an extra note, one of our group has Celiac and our chef Zacharia and waiter Matthew made extra certain each meal had gluten free options. Every step of the way Zainab organized our journey, ensuring transport to and from our lodging. She also provided excursions to local restaurants, hikes, and cultural activities on days we were staying in Moshi & Arusha.

Lemosho 8 day - highly recommend! - Climbed the 8 day Lemosho trek with ZAFS and have nothing but great things to say about them. From the coordination before the trip to the welcome to Tanzania, and of course the incredible guides and porters on the mountain, ZAFS took care of everything so smoothly. The guides were extremely personable and attentive to our group, and we had an incredible trek to the top! If you’re looking for a tour company to go with, can highly recommend ZAFS!

Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing - The whole experience was amazing, and it has met expectations. The climbing was a lot challenging than expected but had a great time and the process/ journey was made so good by all the guides, porters, chef, and other crew who helped us get there. Thanks to our guides John / Naiman who were fun, knowledgeable, and constantly kept us going. Hot cooked food every night starting with tea, popcorn and soup was more luxury than I would have imagined and even with the lack of appetite (altitude) I really appreciated it! I would recommend the company and the Trek for anyone. It was a great break from my busy life at home/ work. Thanks to Zainab from management team, who made our trip so convenient / stress free right from start to finish and fulfilled our requests in every possible way.
