Local Company, Karibu Adventure they were fantastic daily medically check twice a day and great team safety thus why we end up with them. We saw many other hikers struggling with the climb and some who were forced to turn back due to errors made by other guides, including inadequate English skills, lack of attention. I strongly recommend that anyone... More

Our trek up to Mandara Huts (2700m) was nice and interesting but not so "Great" as we expected. Probably we expected much , influenced by the myth surrounding Kilimantzaro ... I have to tell that In Greece we have far better treks , where you can combine alpine mountain, forest , canyon + swimming at river or sea etc... More

This was my first attempt at Kili so I don't have anything to compare too so this is just my opinion based on what we experienced. We climbed via the Rongai route on a 7 day trip and all 7 of our group successfully made the summit which was a real tribute to the guides from TK. The staff were... More

Climbed with this company in February 12 on the 7-day Rongai route; This is a circular route so you will see different scenery every day and most of the time you will not come across other groups climbing Kili. Views are spectacular. I have every admiration for the guides and porters who bent over backwards to ensure we completed the... More

Seven of us successfully reached the Uhuru Peak of Mt Kibo / Kilimanjaro on the early morning of 25 February 2012. The 7-day Rongai Route was hauntingly beautiful and awe-inspiring . The dedicated team of Team Kilimanjaro, under the leadership of Chief Guide Jonas Gerald, was instrumental in helping us to realize our once-in-a-life-time dream. We were extremely impressed by...

We were in dense forest the entire hike to the picnic stop, halfway to the huts. We turned around at the picnic stop and enjoyed the leisurely return hike. A creek with many small waterfalls parallels and sometimes crosses the trail. A side trail to a larger waterfall is worth the 200 steep stone steps to see it, even when... More

Wow, what and experience!!! Hiking Kilimanjaro and viewing the massive glaciers atop Kili at first light is a moment I'll never forget. I hiked the Machame Route in 5 nights which is one day faster than most - which I would advise against unless you live at altitude or know how your body functions above 15,000 feet. I also chose...

I went on a most amazing & memorable adventure of my life, a Kilimanjaro Hike Sept. 7-14 (Lemosho Route) with Masai Giraffe Safaris Ltd., as the tour operator. I discovered Masai Giraffe through their association with the Wounded Warrior's Project. I should have suspected that I was in for most magnificent adventure as soon as I was met at Kilimanjaro...
