7 Tage Kilimandscharo über die Machame-Route zu einem erschwinglichen Preis

Our trip to Kilimanjaro was 4 years in the making and Chiefs Tours supported us the entire time up until a difficult decision but there is summit in our future and I can’t wait to do it with chiefs! 4 years ago I watched a video about climbing Kili and decided it was something I wanted to do. I started reaching out to a few well reviewed companies and Chiefs tours was the most responsive and reasonably priced. Our planning got interrupted by some surgeries and covid but the entire time adidas (owner/operator of chiefs) always was responsive and willing to adjust with our schedule. We finally made it a reality this December. We were greeted at the airport after realizing one of our bags didn’t make it. Adidas took our lost baggage ticket and said this was his problem now. Ended up our bag went on to Zanzibar and adidas had it back at our lodge later that night! The lodge we stayed at (kilele) was comfortable and perfect for before and after our climb. We were served wonderful food and drinks by cheerful and helpful staff. That day, adidas and our guides met us at the lodge to discuss our climb and answer any of our final questions. They checked our gear to ensure we had what we would need to be successful. The next morning the team took us to pick up some gear we were renting and to get the porters and head to the market to get the supplies we would need. We booked a 6 day lemosho route. Our fitness level is pretty high and we ski at altitude so felt this was a good fit for us. Day 1 was hiked almost entirely in rain, given it was still part of the rainy season and we were in the rain forest zone. This wasn’t a surprise. A failure in our dry bag however caused my wife’s clothes and her sleeping bag to get wet. Unfortunately even with the best effort of our guides and porters we weren’t able to get things dried out and after a night at Shira II where it was colder we made the difficult decision to turn back. Our guides (Jackson and frank) and porters tried everything they could to allow us to continue on but ultimately supported our decision to hike back and made all the arrangements for us to do this. The entire team works so hard to make sure you are taken care of and happy and they take such pride in their work. It is infectious. Our meals prepared by Jeff were wonderful and mindful of the kind of food we needed for each day. Every night our health was checked and we discussed what the next day would entail. We are already discussing with chiefs coming back to finish what we started in 2024, so you can see how confident we are in this company and its dedicated employees. I highly recommend chiefs for your kilininjaro climb!

6日間のレモショルート、感動の体験ができてガイドのfrank,ポーターの皆には感謝です。 1人1人に合った登山プランを計画してくれ、登山中も臨機応変に対応してくれました。 私は、女1人初めてのアフリカ旅行で不安でした。 予約する前に、電話をして担当者(Adidas)と話もしました。 空港に迎えにきてくれるので タクシーを見つける必要も不要でした。 そして帰りも同様に指定のホテルに迎えにきてくれたので滞在中タクシーを使うことはなかったです。 私1人でポーターをつけることも可能だったのですが 他の登山者と一緒の登山希望を伝えたらそのようにアレンジしてくれました。 3日目に頭痛がしたときも ガイドのフランクより、途中から高山病の薬を飲むと副作用の方が怖いからpainkiller (日本でいうロキソニン)を飲んで様子を見るよう教えてもらいました。 また、同行者は途中から高山病の薬を飲んでいたため 頭痛はなくても飲み続けるようアドバイスしていました。 そのおかげが、頭痛はなくなり山頂アタック時も 高山病になることなく問題なく登れました。 また山頂アタック時のキャンプを出る時間も 日の出に間に合うかどうかなど 個々の希望に合わしてくれるので助かりました。 私は日の出は山頂で見れなくてもよかったので その分睡眠時間に回して体力回復に重点をあてました。 またアクシデントとして 5日目　山頂アタック後に他同行ガイドが足を怪我してしまい歩けなくなってしまった時も ヘリコプターの手配をすぐにしていて(保険加入があったのも確認済み) アクシデントがあったときの対応もスムーズでした。 無事下山できたのも皆のおかけです。 ありがとうございました。

Chiefs tours was recommended to me by one of my close friends who also climbed Kilimanjaro back in 2021. I could not say enough as of how incredible this experience was and how Chiefs tours made it even more epic. The owner Adidas was quick to provide quotes on time, explain throughly what to expect during the trek, provide a list of what we needed to pack before our trip and an easy way to pay for the tour before we headed to Tanzania. Once we landed in Kilimanjaro, they were quick to get our details for pick up. The entire trip was door to door service, they picked us up from our hotel in Arusha and dropped us off back at the airport when we finished. While we were in Moshi they provided a very comfortable stay that included drinks and food, a comfortable bed, hot water and WiFi. We did the 7 day trek via Lemosho route. For our trek they got us the best guides and crew. We had 10 people for 2 of us hikers (right?!). Yes, you need this many people to get you up and down a mountain in 7 days. The crew was incredible, they made sure we had our tent set up before we got to every stop, they had a sleeping tent and a dining tent just for us. We had our own chef/cook Jeff who was incredible, his food was heavenly and he always made sure we were over fed with the appropriate food for the hike :) Oh, and the guides - Jackson and Calvin - I can't say enough great things about them. They were the coolest and nicest guides. Very well prepared, they have climbed that mountain more times that they can count. They made sure we always had clear what the game plan was and we were taken care of. They also pushed us to reach summit when we felt like altitude was taking our souls away and made sure we understood what to expect at every step. Make sure you ask for them and Jeff when you book your trekking. I highly recommend Chiefs tours to anyone who would like to climb Kili with a solid company who will make your experience that much greater. Note - TripAdvisor is not letting me upload the photo with the summit sign so I posted other photos from up top and sunrise :) our guides were also amazing photographers.
