Review of: Mount Kilimanjaro
We had a terrific adventure with serac adventures. Our guide Godfrey and Caspar was especially great with my two friends had a great time in our 7days on Kilimanjaro. However it was somehow very difficult for me especially during the last night on the way to the summit. There are several routes to the summit and we had chosen the lemosho route because it providing better acclimatization and a more gradual ascent. Thanks to our guide they did not walk stubbornly slow like other guides but adjust the pace perfectly according to the tourist fitness. Godfrey and Caspar perfectly assisted us in choosing the right speed at high altitude. On 03 Feb 2021 my colleagues and me made it successfully to the summit My recommendation: The key is to keep yourself dry and warm especially at nights because in the night it get bellow zero degree celsius Warm underware, a good raincoat, raintrousers and cap or warm hat are must have Since it can rain a lot be prepared to walk in mud by get good hiking bootsand socks Additionally pack everything in watertight bags it help keeps stuff dry. I recommend to ask the company to make sure porters carry a separate toilet tent for them if women climb Kilimanjaro because most public latrines on Kilimanjaro are not clean. Reaching uhuru peak definitely was one of the greatest experience i ever made.…

Review of: Mount Kilimanjaro
ur experience with Ungitours they were very responsive from the first email with Faiza we had an amazing experience with Ungitours i searched price and information with so many companies and since the beginning i had great experience with them. i reached at Uhuru peak the summit of Kilimanjaro the most struggling thing i have done in my life thanks to Ungitours team everything became a little easy as a solo woman i felt safe all the way.

Review of: Mount Kilimanjaro
In early February 2021 Habari Adventure took our group of 5 safely to the summit and back again via the Lemosho route. Our crew was so well organized, happy and cheerful. The food was plentiful and tasty (I don't know how they do it up on the mountain!). They went out of their way to help us in any way they could. We all felt so safe and taken care of and we made to the top around sunrise.. Honestly everything was extraordinary. For those thinking about hiking Kilimanjaro, I strongly advise to DO IT! Better yet, do it with this local company. The company sure keeps their promise and they will go with their scheduled day of departure even if there's only ONE person joining the hike I’d definitely recommend Habari Adventure to anyone booking in the future. After Kilimanjaro we did 3 day safari, this was also brilliant especially the Ngorongoro crater. It is difficult to describe what you feel here other that to say it is a spiritual experience. Nature here is just amazing. And to have so many different areas in one crater...it is beyond belief. We saw, lions, elephants, zebra, water buffalo, jackals, hyenas, rhino and it was breathtaking!!! I truly will miss being here and long to come back again. To all the staffs - porters, toilet crew, waiters, cooks, assistant guides and head guide - THANK YOU.…

Review of: Mount Kilimanjaro
When I decided I wanted to travel to Africa and climb Kilimanjaro I was recommended the guiding company Climb Kili by a fellow traveler. It made my decision pretty easy after she shared how amazing her experience was. Tiffany was outstanding from start to finish in communicating all the details of my trip via email. My trip was originally planned for May 2020, but due to the pandemic and travel restrictions, I had to post-pone. After MANY airline flight cancellations and changes along the way, my trip of a lifetime finally happened in January 2021. My lead guide, Amani, was professional and kind. He and the team of 7 porters made sure I was comfortable and happy. They truly went above and beyond to ensure I had the best possible experience. I was left speechless most of the time with how hard they work on the mountain to make sure all I had to do was focus on putting one foot in front of the other. The amount of gratitude I have for them is immeasurable. After my 7 day journey, I ventured out with my next guide Steven on safari for 3 days (with Climb Kili). Being able to explore the Serengeti is something I still cannot believe I have done! My second day was spent in the Ngorongoro Crater and my last day in Tarangire National Park. I highly, HIGHLY recommend adding a safari on after your climb!! Climb Kili exceeded my expectations in a guiding company and WHEN I return to Africa, I will be sure to use them again!!…

Review of: Mount Kilimanjaro
Professional approach from the beginning till the end, Guide always cared about our needs able to explain in details everything we had fun in a difficult times. I could not see any difference between budget climb on machame route with other premium companies we climbed with we always felt safe (oxygen test each evening they also had emergence oxygen bottle but we did not need it, our guide were very knowledgeable and friendly . The equipment very reliable,sanitized and in good condition our tent were in good condition warm and clean Faiza offered us with portable toilets we didn't hire . They always encouraged us to take it slow (poli poli) motto. We had hot Lunches, on the camp hot dinner and breakfast we had 3 course meal and hot chocolate , coffee and tea with popcorn as snacks when arrived at the camp at night we always our tents were ready with bags and mattress after arrival chef khalifa provided us with a hot water for washing snacks and tea after we had dinner. Tipping the whole crew is essential , we went dinner with Faiza at a bar we had ugali and some delicious beef. Thank you Faiza and Ungitours crew for exceptional service…
