An amazing experience - Our experience with Nafika was incredible. Elias and his team did an amazing of making us feel safe and looked after. The food they served was also incredible. For anyone thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro, I’d highly recommended Nafika.

Unforgettable Adventure with Nafika Tours - Last month, we climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route (7 days), and it was breathtakingly beautiful and scenic. After comparing a few local and international tour operators, we decided to go with Nafika Tours, and I’m so glad we did. The entire experience was outstanding, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Elias and his team. Elias was incredibly responsive, answering all my many questions over email, and his thorough responses reassured me that they were true professionals. From the camping and food arrangements to their environmental practices and the medical expertise of the team, everything was handled with care and precision. A key thing to note: ensure that your guides are medically trained. We had health check-ups every morning and a lung test every night. We also started taking Diamox from day one, which really helped us avoid serious altitude sickness and made the climb much more manageable. The guides were exceptional. They knew the mountain inside and out, constantly ensuring we were safe and making progress. Their support, both physical and emotional, was invaluable—I genuinely couldn’t have reached the summit without them. Climbing Kilimanjaro was the toughest but most rewarding experience of my life, and I’m incredibly glad we chose Nafika Tours to help us get to the top!

Best Kilimanjaro local Company - It’s no surprise that Nafika Tours consistently receives 5-star reviews. If you’re looking for the best company to guide you to the top of Africa, look no further. Nafika Tours offers the best organization, guides, food, and overall experience for climbing Kilimanjaro. From the start, the communication and itinerary were clear, and Elias, the owner, personally guided us through every step along with Inocent, the lead guide. Their passion and genuine interest in providing an exceptional experience were clear from the beginning. They were professional, honest, and thorough in all aspects of the journey. We also used Nafika Tours for a fantastic two-day safari, which exceeded all our expectations. For the Kilimanjaro summit, I rented a high-quality duffel bag and sleeping bag, both of which kept me warm during the chilly nights. Innocent and Lodgard our guides, were outstanding. They were attentive to all our needs and conducted daily medical checks. During the difficult summit push, they even helped carry my pack. The food was incredible! I expected basic meals, but they accommodated all dietary preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, and lactose-intolerant options, while still catering to meat eaters. Every meal was delicious. The portable toilet was a wonderful luxury, and the hard-working porters ensured it was always ready by the time we arrived at camp. While many tour companies may offer good guides and porters, Nafika Tours felt like family. They treated us with the utmost kindness and attentiveness, making the 7-day trek comfortable and memorable. The daily briefings were clear and informative, and the views at the campsites were simply breathtaking. Every effort was made to ensure our comfort throughout the trip.

Best team for a tour on the Kibo 😊 - We had an unforgettable adventure with our guides Eli and Goodchance and our team (Jonason, Frank, Risiki, Patrick, Erik and Sulupis). Communication in advance with Elias and during our trip with the team was always perfect and there was nothing wrong. On the mountain we were well looked after, fed and informed. We had complete confidence at all times, were briefed daily and our health was checked. With a lot of love the food was freshly prepared daily and it was always very delicious! The support of the guides until the summit was always there and did well. We got to learn a lot from them! Together with the team we could laugh a lot and experience unforgettable moments! We are glad to have chosen a local provider with Nafika Tours and would definitely choose Nafika Tours again for this adventure! Thanks for all the unforgettable moments with our "African family"!

Kilimanjaro Hike and Safari with Nafika Tours. - I climbed Kilimanjaro and went on a safari in early July, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Nafika Tours was very professional from the start, providing reliable communication and all the necessary information before our trip. Their professionalism continued throughout the journey, and it was clear that the guides had carefully planned each day. Honestly, I have no complaints at all! It was a great hike and safari with an awesome staff.

Kilimanjaro hike with the local People - In July 2024, I hiked the 7- day Lemosho Route with Nafika Tours. The team took excellent care of us throughout the journey. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about mountain conditions, altitude sickness, and all aspects of the hike. Moreover, they were attentive to our well-being, closely monitoring our health and how we were feeling during the entire hike. This attentiveness allowed them to take quick and appropriate action to treat any symptoms we experienced. The chefs were outstanding, consistently providing more food and drink than we could consume. Thanks to this amazing team, all six members of my group made it to the summit. I truly believe that we couldn't have achieved this without their support.

Excellent Authentic Experience with Nafika Tours - 7 Day Lemosha Route, and Three Day Safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Nafika Tours. If you are looking for the best, most authentic, and welcoming experience in Tanzania, then book with Nafika Tours. In late June and early July, a group of 12 of us took a trip to Tanzania and had the best 2 weeks imaginable. The pre-trip organization and planning with Elias went without a hitch. We were greeted at the airport and driven to Panama Garden Resort , which is about an hour away in Moshi. The accommodation was very good. Our three day safari was fantastic, we were in 2 Toyota Landcruisers. We were fortunate to see the 'Big Five' and so much more wildlife. The next morning we were greeted by the lead guides Eli and Abdullah from Nafika. They made sure we had all the essential gear and took us to a rental shop for items we didn't have. The next morning we were picked up and taken to the Lemosha gate which was an hour away. Right from the first day of the hike the guides, cooks and porters were so friendly and welcoming. We had health checks every night, the camp was always set up when we arrived, breakfast, lunch and dinner were superb and one lunch was hamburgers with hot chips - just what you felt like! Our guides were amazing and led us to a challenging, but incredibly rewarding summit day. We were so thankful to have them and the porters support! Elias and Nafika Tours made it so easy to book our trip, then safari and climb. Everything was booked and taken care of for us. So if you are going to Tanzania, support a local company that provide work for local people - you won't be sorry. 10/10 experience and would recommend Nafika Tours to everyone visiting Tanzania

5 stars for Nafika - Nafika tours went above and beyond to ensure we made it to the top safely. Elias has hired an exceptional team who are enthused to give you the best possible experience. We were blown away with how good our dealings with the company were. The communication was great from the start and the team motivated us, kept it fun and most importantly got us all to the top (and back down) safely.

All was Fantastic!! - Last month, my son and I had the great adventure of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It was an incredible journey from start to finish, exceeding all my high expectations for Nafika Tours. Their services were outstanding in every respect. The staff members were exceptionally knowledgeable and ensured that our 19,341-foot climb was both safe and enjoyable. When you're climbing high above the clouds, where there's only half the oxygen, having super experienced and top-notch guides by your side is crucial. The scenery was breathtaking! We took the Lemosho route, which involves seven days to reach the summit and one and a half days to descend. I'm 68 years old and in average shape, while my son is 28 and in excellent shape. Perhaps it was genetic luck, but thanks to their wise guidance and twice-daily health monitoring, we experienced no high-altitude ill effects. As a business consultant who likes to find ways to improve businesses, I can be a tough customer to satisfy. However, with Nafika Tours, everything was perfect. After returning to Australia, I had a follow-up call with them and struggled to suggest anything that could have been done differently. They may cost a bit more, but their value proposition is outstanding and worth every penny. Kudos to Nafika Tours for operating such a well-run business! And did I mention the food? We ate like kings the whole way up. Their "International Culinary Institute"-trained high-altitude chefs even baked a delicious birthday cake for one of the climbers halfway up the mountain.

It was fantastic Kilimanjaro and safari Trip with the local! - We traveled as a group of six and hike on a seven-day summit trek to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route in Tanzania, followed by a four-day safari, all expertly organized by Nafika Tours. Everything was arranged for us, and Nafika Tours were very responsive and reputable via email, which filled us with confidence. We were picked up at the airport and immediately began our trek. The experience was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. We had a team of porters who were some of the friendliest people I have ever met, and they really encouraged us to keep going. The porters carried the bulk of our luggage, food (which was excellent every day), tents, and other supplies to each campsite and had everything set up for us. Reaching the summit felt incredibly rewarding despite the physical challenge. A huge thank you to Elia, Evod, and their team for making it possible. Our group had a 100% summit success rate, which I attribute to our guides and porters. When two people in our group were moving at a slower pace, the main guide stayed with them while the rest of us continued. When some of us experienced nausea or other minor symptoms of altitude sickness, the guides knew exactly how to handle it. I was impressed by the daily safety checks they conducted, including taking vitals, checking oxygen levels, and administering an altitude sickness questionnaire. After the climb, we received our certificates and enjoyed a celebratory dinner with our guides. The safari was also fantastic. Our guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable. We saw every type of animal on our watch list numerous times, including up-close encounters with lions and many others. We stayed at lovely lodges each night with good food and had great photo opportunities. The daily drives were very enjoyable, traveling through dirt tracks surrounded by thousands of animals. I couldn’t recommend this holiday enough, especially with Nafika Tours, as they made everything so easy, safe, and relaxed. Throughout the trip, we seemed to be the most organized and best group. Thank you to Nafika Tours for making it an amazing experience!
