A Great Company with Better People - I climbed Kilimanjaro with two friends through Pinnacle, and the trip was everything I could have ever asked for. Frazier, JT, and Jonas were some of the nicest and most accommodating people on our trip, but all the porters were also very helpful throughout our climb. Reaching the summit was such an amazing accomplishment, and I will forever remember the stories of the people I met on the trip.

Don't hesitate, Book with Pinnacle! - I can’t recommend Pinnacle strongly enough, from the administrative team (Frazier, Jasmine, Kevin) to the Guides, Chef and Porters in Kili, they looked after me every step of the way. I must give a massive shout out to Yassin my guide- he was always in high spirits whilst making sure my safety and acclimatisation was paramount. The meals that they provide are great, Accommodation before Kili and after was good enough. Book with Pinnacle and you won’t be disappointed.

Summit with Pinnacle Adventures - Pinnacle were very well organised, with excellent quality equipment, and great food even on the mountain. The guides were very knowledgable and motivated us throughout. The trip went without a hitch and we were able to successfully summit. We highly recommend them.

True Customer Care and Professional Guides. - I booked a 4 weeks tour with Pinnacle including Kilimanjaro + Mount Meru climbing, Safaris and Zanzibar trip. Despite high constraints on my travel dates, Frazier managed to organize my trip as per my wishes and within a short delay. I had sent a request for quotes to more than 3 companies located either in US or Tanzania (Arusha and Moshi). Pinnacle Adventures and Safaris was the most competitive one in terms of offer and prices. The communications by email and WhatsApp were sufficient to plan everything and questions were answered quickly. From airport arrival in Tanzania to my return in US, all the schedule has been respected, no issue with the transfers. The employees and their Directors were available to fix all the issues. For instance, they provided me with a warmer sleeping bag (required for Kilimanjaro climbing) and an electric plug adapter, all this for free. The safaris went fine, we saw all the big animals and the guide was friendly. Food was provided in sufficient quantities and quality was fine. Zanzibar was relaxing, Snorkeling in the Indian ocean, Spice tour, Local food center. WORTH IT !

Loved being on top of Africa with Pinnacle Adventures and Safaris Ltd. - My fiancé and I did the 5 day Marangu Route with Pinnacle Adventures & Safaris and we had an amazing time! I, my fiancee and Our entire group of 4 people made it to the summit, thanks to the incredible help from the entire Pinnacle team. Babu, John and Isihaka were fantastic guides who answered all of our questions and did everything they could to ensure our success. Not to mention the rest of the crew who made sure we were extremely well fed, comfortable, and happy! Our lead guide, Babu, planned the timing of our summit night perfectly and we witnessed the most beautiful sunrise just as we reached Uhuru Peak. Yes, summit night is very difficult and exhausting, but it was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life. I would highly recommend doing the Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, as it has a great and fantastic scenery. There's a good reason why it's so popular! If you're looking for a tour provider for your own Kili climb, definitely put Pinnacle on your shortlist. I couldn't imagine how the service and experience could be any better than what we had from our crew.

A Memorable Experience - This was my second time in Tanzania, unlike my first visit, this time I was accompanied by three family members and a colleague...all I have to say is "this was by far the best experience". We developed a great relationship/friendship with the guys at Pinnacle Adventures; always looking out for us, looking forward to seeing them again.
