Kilisa Tours organized a 6 days hike to the top of Kilimanjaro for us. It was a private hike for a group of 4 friends. Below are a few reasons why I would recommend this company.
1) All 4 of us made it to the top of the mountain.
2) It was very easy to communicate with the owner - Naick. I sent probably over 40 emails with requests, questions and clarifications. He was always supportive and answered within a day or two.
3) The original tour packages can be customized to your preference. It was my second attempt to get to the top. Based on my first unsuccessful experience 3 years ago I had a lot of customizations to the official program. All my requests were taking into account and Naick created an adjusted just for us hiking package.
4) We had very experienced guides. They had much advice to make sure we all get to the top. The food from the chef was also good.
5) Everyone in the group had a different level of physical preparation. One of the guys spent just 4 hours in total walking around London when he was "preparing" for the hike. And he made it to the top. To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of stronger arguments could be to show the level of Kilisa Tours even if a guy with 4 hours training made it to the top with them.
