6 Days Machame route Kilimanjaro climbing

Habari Adventure is very responsive and welcoming from the beginning of planning to the end of the adventure. We were a team of nine people, the Habari team adapted to all our needs and desires. We did a six-day trek along the Machame route, followed by a charity run and then a seven-day safari. The management and planning team often responded to our questions and concerns within minutes of asking them. There is a lot to say about the guides, the cuisine, the porters, the safari service, etc. from Habari, they are all great. They have helped us make the most of our stay every day in Tanzania. A special thanks to Caroline, the planner and contact person from day one to the end. She has given us all the attention we needed and provided all the little details to ensure our trip went smoothly. They are fully aware of life in the mountains and what it takes to reach the highest point possible. I highly recommend Habari's service for those who may be interested in a Kilimanjaro trek and safari near or far. Thank you Habari Team for all the effort and the great moment. An experience of a lifetime!

I did the 6 day Machame route and really did have a trip of a lifetime only made possible by the amazing service, knowledge and support from Habari Adventure. The service, from the airport, throughout the whole trip was amazing and could not be doubted. The guides were excellent giving us the benefit of all their experience on the mountain as well as their love of Kili. I was really impressed with the organization of everything from the airport to trip planning to meals and entertainment by the crew. I have lifelong memories of my trip up Kilimanjaro! With Habari Adventure, I always felt special from camping facilities, food (it was delicious), having my own toilet. The porters and guides have maximum respect and this is evident throughout the hierarchy of staff with the whole team. The porters were truly awesome and inspirational! I could not doubt Habari Adventure and they really did make my trip to Kili a once in a lifetime experience so thank you so much!

We booked our Kilimanjaro trek with Caroline at Habari Adventure about 4 weeks before our trip began in the middle of Feb. She was helpful and professional from the beginning, making sure to keep me informed about how to trek, what we would need, and what the trek price included. We arrived in Kilimanjaro Airport and one of the staff of Habari Adventure was ready and waiting for us with a bottle of water, Juice and cold Coca. The Hotel was extremely nice to stay at before our trek- working with Caroline we added an extra two days at the beginning. The trek was physically difficult and also mentally challenging. When the trek became more difficult our assistant guide, Abdi, would say something or try to sing a song to us. I went with my partner and he and I are more shy. The trek was specifically catered to us with our guides paying attention to how we reacted to each individual thing. The entire group was incredible- we had a guide, an assistant guide, a chef, a waiter, a camp manager, and six porters. They were all very helpful, the food was incredible and that is saying a lot because I'm a vegetarian, and they would interact with us although many of the porters did not speak English. The waiter started to teach me Swahili and would quiz me on different words at meal times, which ended up being really amazing! I would not have been able to summit without the full support of Abdi and Evance. At times they would take both of my hands to help support me. It was physically difficult but I was healthy enough to summit, and their constant encouragement helped me accomplish one of the hardest things I've ever done. The one tip I would give is to make sure to bring USD when you come- we were not able to as we were traveling before, and Habari Adventure did go above and beyond help us to get US dollars when we arrived in Tanzania, but it was a much longer, difficult, and expensive process than it would have been at an airport. Additionally, one of the main reasons we chose Habari Adventure was because it is a locally owned business in Moshi and because it has a reputation of treating porters well, which from our observations and interactions was true. Overall we had a great experience with talented and attentive tour guides and staff. I would highly recommend Habari Adventure for outdoor activities in Kilimanjaro.
