Tanzania unforgettable experience - The overall efficiency from start to finish. So pleased we chose this company. Nothing was too much trouble for our guides and porters, especially on summit night. They kept the atmosphere fun and Maregesi with songs and jokes, they took monitoring out heart rate and oxygen levels seriously and all 10 in our group managed to reach the summit. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Our guides and porters made us feel safe, looked after, welcome and confident that we could get to the top. Although without their help and expertise on summit night we would have struggled!

Amazing tour - This tour was my first visit to Africa. From the day one to the last day I had a great time in Moshi, during the climb and a few days after. My guide Joseph made every possible effort to make my time pleasant and adventurous at the same time. His hospitality culminated in a visit in his house for a traditional Tanzanian lunch at the end of my stay in Moshi. I recommend This company, they will make your day! Thank you...

Amaizing trip - I was also able to book a 3-day safari with them and when I had an extra day between Kilimanjaro and safari they were able to come up with a cool visit to Chemka hot springs and a Maasai village. Joseph was very helpful through the whole process and stuck to his word in providing transportation between tours and to the airport etc. The guides for all of the treks were really great and awesome to talk with. I would definitely recommend This Company to anyone planning to visit Tanzania and want to have a resourceful guide company taking care of your arrangements.
