Best Experience - We booked our 7 days kilimanjaro climbing via Lemosho Route. Everything was well organised and our guide Mr Josia helped us to reach to the top easily and safely. Kitau's team made sure we had quality tents, enough foods on the mountain and the caring crew. We reached to the top on day 6. They also helped us to rents all the gears for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro Highly recommending this company for mountain hiking.

Best Kilimanjaro Climbing Company - We Did 7 days Machame Route with them and everything was well planned, Clean Gears, Tents, delicious food and great team. Our guide and crews was very polite, friendly and caring. We had doubts before we started the trekking but once we reached to the Machame gate we realized we were lucky enough to have Kitau’s Team on the trekking. Thank you so much.

we saw almost every Animal We wanted to see in Africa - Kitau tanzania safaris arrangements were perfect, starting intent lodges with wildlife all around us, progressively more luxurious. My daughter’s 18th birthday occurred on the trip. Spending the full day in the crater with the herd of elephants close to our jeep was the most amazing experience we saw Hyenas We spotted Rhinos. Having the right guide and driver with you, who was Jordan all along with his knowledge of wildlife had me on extreme wanting to know more. making us want to add more days on our safari but we agreed on a short sweet which we had. all I can say is the safari was an amazing and a learning trip for my daughter as well and thanks to the team making my daughter’s birthday cake. We enjoyed the food from the start to last the picnic lunches are at their best This was a trip of a lifetime! Safari was on a bucket list for us, we had high expectations and kitautanzaniasafaris delivered. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do a safari in Tanzania and would happily book with them again if given the chance.
