Mount Kilimanjaro with Nafika - We were 5 climbers and had 3 guides and 20 porters all organized by Elias of Nafika Tours. I could not have asked for a better experience and team. The Nafika crew was the best on the mountain with regards to organization, positive energy, and friendliness. We clearly had the best guides and campsites!!! Would do all over again with Nafika and highly recommend them. Benson, Elias, and Frank were amazing guides, there for you all the time.

Highly Recommended Professional Operator for your Kilimanjaro Climb - We had an amazing experience with the Nafika tours team. Our group of 5 inexperienced climbers took on the Lemosho route to successfully summit Mount Kilimanjaro. I had contacted the owner Elias a few months ago as we planned the trip. He was patient and answered numerous questions prior to the trip.
I can’t say enough about the team we climbed with. They were fun, experienced, thoughtful, positive and professional. If it weren’t for their help and words of encouragement, I don’t think we would have had such a successful trip. We sang, ate well, slept comfortably and danced our way up the mountain.
Some considerations as you plan your trip. Book early, reach out to Elias with any questions, consider portable toilets if you can, also we stayed at Kosovo base camp over Barafu camp which was quite helpful in reducing your summit climb (special permit and added cost).
Our guides Eli and Benson were great and the chef Arnold made great veggie and non-veg food for our different dietary needs.
All in all Nafika tours was excellent and we all would highly recommend them.

Review of Nafika Tours Lemosho Route Jan 2025 - Our tour with Nafika was absolutely incredible. I can't say enough positive things about the company and the team. Elias was incredibly professional and organized during the planning process. Our team of guides (Eli, Benson, Frank) were skilled, enthusiastic, supportive and kind. Our team of porters and all the associated staff were committed, enthusiastic, took pride in their work, and there were incredibly supportive. All of this made our experience exceptional. The climb was hard and I don't know if we would have made it to summit without such a wonderful team. I would definitely recommend the Nafika group. They are local with extensive ties to the community. It felt great to go with this team! Thank you Elias and all members of Nafika.

An experience of a lifetime!! - I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with 2 other solo travellers in a joining group and it was one of the most special experiences I have ever had! From the start, Nafika was always very organised and had excellent communication. I had no trouble at all booking the tour and they quickly answered all my questions. During the hike itself, the mountain crew provided the utmost support and encouragement. They were prepared for every scenario, with detailed briefing before each segment of the hike given by the guides. Each meal was cooked with fresh ingredients and delicious to taste!! Overall, the entire crew was so kind and generous, and their encouragement throughout the 7 day hike made the biggest difference in my success to the top at Uhuru Peak!!
I highly, HIGHLY recommend climbing Mt Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours. It was truly an experience of a lifetime!!
The team - Innocent (lead guide), Daniel (assistant guide), Priva (chef), Frank (waiter), Jumanne (tent crew), and the porters Erick, Amedeus, Pamphil, Oscar, Johana and Elnami.

We want to cherish mountaining achievement memory forever. - Our 7 days Kilimanjaro hike with Nafika Tours was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our life. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our group made the entire journey seamless and enjoyable. We contact with Nafika's Representative Agnes, And he offered a detailed packing list, advice on altitude preparation, and answered all our questions promptly. Our Guide (Elisafi) just a awesome man he always try to so that we smile and porters (Daniel & Ben) were amazing, carrying heavy loads with ease and always greeting us with smiles. Their hard work and dedication were inspiring. The Nafika team ensured we acclimatized properly, with strategic rest stops and daily health checks to monitor our well-being. When we reached Uhuru Peak just as the sun rose, it was an emotional and life-affirming moment. After descending, the Nafika Tours team organized a celebratory ceremony to mark our achievement. They turn Our dream into a reality while making the journey as enriching as the destination.

Kilimanjaro hike with Nafika Toure 2024 - We chose Nafika Tours for our 7-day Lemosho Route climb of Kilimanjaro, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.
Everything was so well-organized, with an amazing crew of 16 people (porters, helping porters, a cook, guide, and assistant guide) taking care of the four of us. The team was incredibly kind and supportive, always making sure we had everything we needed.
A special thank you to Ben and Innocent, our fantastic guides, who shared helpful, friendly advice and motivated us every step of the way to reach the summit. Efata brought so much positivity with his cheerful mood and excellent service. The cook was not only friendly but also incredibly talented, and we’ll always appreciate Anold for ensuring our comfort and Thomas for his wonderful songs that lifted our spirits. Of course, we are deeply grateful to our personal porters as well.
The climb was both a challenging and deeply rewarding experience. The landscapes were breathtaking seas of clouds, stunning glaciers, and views that left us in awe. It truly was an incredible journey.
Thank you, Nafika Tours, for making this such a memorable adventure!

Best Team on Mount Kilimanjaro - Climbing Kilimanjaro was an adventure we will cherish forever, made all the more special by the incredible team that stood by us every step of the way. Our guides, Eli and Sebastian, were absolutely exceptional. Their expertise, encouragement, and constant support gave us the confidence and strength to reach the summit. They made sure we felt safe, inspired, and cared for throughout the entire journey.
The entire team, including the cooks and porters, went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Every meal was delicious and nourishing, giving us the energy we needed to tackle each challenging day. A special thank you to Adam for his cheerful morning wake-up coffee those moments became a highlight of our mornings and always started the day with a smile.
This experience was truly a team effort, and we are so grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and positivity everyone brought to the trek. You turned this journey into something extraordinary, and we couldn’t have asked for a better group to share it with. Thank you for helping us make our dream of climbing Kilimanjaro come true!

Amazing Kilimanjaro Experience - Nafika Tours did an excellent job at communicating and provided a great experience for my tour to Kilimanjaro. From the time my plane landed to the time I took off it was easy and enjoyable experience.
While hiking the local guide and team helped me overcome the altitude. We ended up having a lovely morning at the top and had met some interesting people along the way.

Unforgettable experience with Nafika Tours - We booked an 7-day Kilimanjaro climb on the Lemosho Route and a 6-day safari with Nafika Tours, and both were incredible experiences. From the initial booking to the actual trip, the entire process was perfect.
Elias promptly answered all our questions during the booking and preparation phases (and we had many). For the climb, we had two amazing guides, Alyce and Daniel, along with a fantastic team of porters.
They made our trek as comfortable as possible, attending to all our needs, providing great meals, setting up camp in prime spots, and offering lots of encouragement along the way. A special mention goes to Alyce, Daniel, and one of the porters, Frank, who accompanied us to the summit. Without them, we couldn’t have made it.
When we transitioned to the safari, Nafika Tours maintained the same high standards. Our guide, Said, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the local culture, patiently answering all our questions while tolerating us taking a million pictures of everything that moved! The lodges we stayed in and the food provided were top-notch.
We would recommend this company ten times over they gave us an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.
