Beste Tagesausflugstour zum Kilimandscharo mit Kilinge Adventures

Thomas was an exceptional guide on our journey to the Shira summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. His extensive knowledge of the terrain and infectious enthusiasm made the climb an unforgettable experience. Thomas ensured that everyone was comfortable and motivated, sharing fascinating stories about the local flora and fauna that enriched our adventure. At one point, when our group was feeling particularly fatigued, he led us in dancing with the kilimanjaro song that revitalized our spirits and brought us closer together. His expertise and genuine care for each climber’s well-being made all the difference, and I couldn't imagine a better guide for this challenging yet rewarding trek.

Enjoyed a day hike from Moshi to Kilimanjaro Natl Park with Kilinge while visiting East Africa from the USA. The driver Hans and guide Tyson picked me up on time, were friendly, and spoke English well. I am learning some Swahili, and they helped me with words and phrases. They were on time. Once we got to Kili Natl Park, it was an easy registration, then the hike began. We took the Maringu route to Mandara hut, which took me about 3.5 hrs. The altitude change was a little tough for me with the uphill hike, but Tyson was very encouraging. He carried a box lunch for me, which was tasty and more than I could eat. We continued on to Maundi crater, then turned around and made our way back down, which was another 2.5-3hrs. I saw beautiful monkeys and hyrax along the way. Overall was about 8 hrs with the driving. The price Kilinge charges is competitive and the value was good. I'd just suggest double checking all of the costs up front. In addition to the Viator booking price, the listing mentioned the national park fee, but not how much it was (Kili park website said 70$USD, plus tax, so that is what I planned for), nor a fee for the guide's entry, or another fee for being a solo hiker (which I was able to negotiate out of, but felt very guilty about) that the owner mentioned later when I contacted them the day before the tour asking to verify the park fee cost. They should mention all the costs upfront. Park fee can only be paid by card, also, which would be good to mention. So, just be sure to get clear info on the fees ahead of time. The only other issue was that the driver pulled over on the way back from Kili on a random street corner and fully rolled down my window while talking on the phone, with no explanation for the reason for doing this. I felt a bit unsafe, as I didn't understand what was happening, especially as women stuck their hands in the car at me with goods they were trying to sell --they were also clearly confused by what he was doing. Travel warnings for Moshi area often mention bag and phone snatchings from open windows, so this is not something I would have done if I'd had control of the situation. It felt a bit unprofessional at best. But overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend Kilinge.
