Lifetime experience Nyange Adventures - My friends and I had an amazing experience with Nyange Adventures. First we did the Marangu route in six days with the guide Musa, he and his team were wonderful with us. And then we went on a two-day safari, our guide was amazing and gave us an unforgettable adventure. Thank you to the entire Nyange Adventures team.

Awesome hike with super professionell guides - We did the 6 day Marangu Route and it was a blast. Freddy and Benny were our guides and an absolut blessing. They instructed us carefully, explained a lot about the nature, the animals, the mountain and the route itself. We felt very well guided all the time. The provided food, drinks and equipment was good and well suited for the hike. The tour itself can be mentally and physically exausting but the gudies and the whole team (guides, porters, cook, waiter) took care of us and supported us.

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Do not look elsewhere - Wow - what a blessed experience. Nyange's motto is "Come as a client, leave as a friend". We parted as family. Nyange organized my 6 day camping trip up Rongai route. My guide Erick was an absolute superstar - there is something unique about "entrusting your life" in someone's hands, and I felt a special bond with Erick who was like a father and brother at the same time, guiding me through the terrain, the emotions, the culture, the park, the mountain, and everything else. The level of professionalism displayed by Erick, and the whole cook and porter crew, exceeded all my expectations. I came with 0 equipment and Nyange helped me procure everything in record time from a local outfitter. The equipment provided by Nyange (tents, etc.) was high quality and excellent. Some highlights: -The staff and crew. Their manager Livin personally drove me all the way back to Arusha, stopped to get me cut fruit. Erick is a total professional who made this climb a heavenly, memorable and safe experience (even when I had doubts about my ability to make it). The cook and porters were amazing, always upbeat and supportive, always ready to give a helping hand. -The food and service. Excellent food (incredible considering we are at 5,000m altitude) including fried chicken, macaroni, etc. A+ -The knowledge and professionalism. From monkey and lion spotting to sharing stories about the mountain, and technical knowledge, this company does it all. -Company culture. Nyange takes pride in having assembled a stellar team of staff, guides, porters, cooks, and they CARE for their team as much as they do for their clients. The company is also extremely client-focused, and constantly innovating to find new ideas and ways of delighting their clients (post-hike celebration, etc.). I cannot thank Erick, Livin, Nyange Adventures and the whole crew enough. I will send EVERYONE I know who is interested in climbing Kili to Nyange. The people of this company made my trip extra special, even more so than summiting. Thank you so much - this was truly a special experience. A+ all the way.

Amazing Team ! - Best experience of my life thanks to Nyange Team! Our guides (Eric and Nicolas) definitely bring us to the top. As professionals who guided climbers more than 100 times, you can trust them unconditionally and let them help you to make it. Before starting the climb, they joined us at our place to check one by one our equipment and tell us more about our adventure to come to be prepared. They helped us to rent some missing equipment and to ensure we have everything we will need at the right price. They were also so friendly and encouraging, we felt grateful to be with such great guys. Our food was amazing and even when you start losing your appetite because of altitude, Abu the Chef will prepare something you can’t miss eating. Climbing Kili is something and you need people you can trust to take care of everything while you focus on your effort. This is what they do! Don’t hesitate to join them for this once in a lifetime adventure.

Excellent trek - We had a very good time on the Killi Trek with Nyange. We chose a company that offered ethical treks, and where the porters are paid a good wage, and Nyange came highly recommended. We definitely recommend them if you are looking to do a trek to Kili.

Very satisfying service in all aspects - We were well pleased will pretty much all aspects of our trek. True, there were some delays here and there, but we knew that this is perfectly normal in East Africa. With that in mind, were able to just enjoy and soak up the amazing experience of this Kili Trek. I guess one thing that is also important to note, is that there are many people climbing Kili, so expect crowds. But Nyange's service was for me excellent and highly worth recommending. They were able to organize special requests such as our gluten free diet, so I can definitely recommend them.

Best trek I've ever done - My trek to Kili was absolutely fantastic! I really cannot fault Nyange's organization in the slightest. I feel they really went out of their way to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Special thanks to my guide Francis, and also the owner Praise who was super friendly.

Climbing Kili Popote Africa Adventures - If you are traveling to Tanzania a stop in the wonderful town of Moshi is a must. By far the nicest people of any town I visited in Tanzania. Towering over the town of Moshi is one of the world's largest mountains, MT. Kilimanjaro. The mountain can seem intimidating, but if you are in good shape and are mentally and physically prepared for a 6 day journey of hiking Africa's majestic peaks then this should be easier for you then you might think. One factor in your experience of the mountain will undoubtedly be your guides and porters. They're are a lot more of them then they're are hikers. We had 8 just for the 2 of us. We got very lucky to make friends with a wonderful person upon arriving to Tanzania. Sabino Kweka ( or Sabi) is a great friend and an outstanding guide. With out him I probably would not have made it up the mountain. Sabi is much more concerned with you and your health and wellness then his is concerned about himself. It is incredible the generosity of this man and the porters and guides that work with him. He made sure all of our equipment was on point, made sure we were well fed and well hydrated, and was always fun and friendly. On the way down my knees were killing me and instead of going ahead he took 2-3 extra hours of slow hiking with me so I would have company and was safe. We exchanged our life aspirations and meaningful conversation. I highly recommend Sabi as a guide for your climb.
