We have visited Tanzania before, but this was our first time trekking Kilimanjaro. We are truly thrilled with our decision to choose Kilisa Tours & Safaris for our adventure, as they provided exceptional support throughout the trek.
Kilisa Tours paired us with an incredible team of three guides, eighteen porters, a cook, and a waiter, all of whom were with us every step of the way. We were also impressed by the quality of the camping and climbing gear, which was top-notch and perfectly suited to the challenges of the trek.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is no easy feat, pushing both physical endurance and mental resolve to their limits. Thankfully, we had an extraordinary team supporting us, and they deserve special recognition. Our lead guide, Bakari, along with assistant guides Nickson and Goodlacky, demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise, professionalism, and care. Their attention to our safety and well-being was evident throughout, always ensuring we were in the best possible spirits to continue the climb.
Cook Kurwa was another standout, delighting us with his creative and delicious meals. Every dish he prepared was a delightful surprise, and it kept us energized throughout the trek.
The weather was perfect for our journey, and we were treated to breathtaking views, including a stunning sunrise on our way to the summit.
We are immensely grateful to the entire Kilisa Tours team for helping us create such unforgettable memories.
