6 Tage auf der Machame-Route auf den Kilimandscharo

An amazing experience, a very professional company, starting from the planning stage, thinking about every detail. Close escort from the moment of landing until the end of the trip. Our guide was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, answered any problem or request. We could not have asked for more

I can’t recommend Kilisa Tours enough. We just finished the trek a couple of days ago. From the pick up at the airport, everything went smoothly. We asked our driver Nicholson to give us a little tour walking around Moshi as we had some time to kill, which he did happily (we gave him a tip obviously). Then our guides, the fabulous Bakari and Matthew, cake to our hotel to check over our kit, making sure we had everything we needed and tell us the plan for the six days ahead. On day one, we stopped by the office to pick up the amazing crew of 7 porters, our chef and Matt and Bakari. Everyone was super friendly from the word go and they all had some limited English so we could converse a little bit. Day one was through the rainforest - we got soaked - but we’re met back at camp with our tent set up and shortly after a hot meal presented to us. This was the standard every day. Some days we even stopped for a hot lunch. Both me and my partner are vegetarian and our chef - Kurwa - or Mama Africa, always made tasty filling food for us. Even breakfast was two courses. He couldn’t feed us enough and we were both very grateful to have full bellies! The porters always beat us to camp, even though every day we were the first trekkers to arrive, which is testament to the brilliant organisation of Kilisa and our guides. A couple of porters would even meet us most days about 500km from camp and carry our day packs for the last stretch. As for our guides, Matthew and Bakari. They were brilliant. Their confidence and positivity put us immediately at ease. The one tough day was the stretch to the summit (obviously) and they guided us through it with such kindness and grace, I cannot praise them enough. They kept us going, kept us warm and most importantly got us down as quickly as they possible could as by the time we’d hit the top we both felt pretty awful. This was the most awesome, friendliest, most professional group of people and the price of the trek seemed reasonable when comparing to other companies. The staff all seemed to be proud of the company and treated fairly. We always felt safe and taken care of and the office were easy to communicate with pre booking and quick to answer emails. My advice... Go for it! (And take a hot water bottle for your sleeping bag!)

There are so many different companies to hike Kili with! When we were choosing and reading reviews etc. it was honestly overwhelming! We decided to hike with Kilisa Tours and it was absolutely amazing. It was such a welcoming and authentic experience, I dont think there is a better tour company to hike with. Our guide, Rama, the porters, our chef, as well as the crew in Moshi, Naick and Juliana, were helpful and accommodating every step of the way. Every part of the hike was thought out ahead of time and it made it so much easier and more enjoyable when it came time to reach the summit! Amazing company in Moshi and definitely recommend these amazing people to take you up the mountain!
