About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kijendos0 contributionsLocal CompanyMe and my family did the Kilimanjaro hiking for 7 Days Lemosho route with Kilisa Tours & Safaris. We really had the most amazing experience, and it all started with great divulgation with Naick, it was intelligible that the guides and everyone involved were on top of their diversion. The reason I and my family decided to choose this Local company is because of their Expertise, Values, and Price. Getting to the summit was an amazing feeling and the view at the top was stunning. Our guides and the whole team where definitely professional and friendly because they did everything they could to make sure that we are comfortable and focus on hiking without any destruction. With the support of the guides and porters together with their pretty funny songs was all together able to make it to the top. We really thanks Kilisa Tours and Safaris for make this succeeded, we will be back again for Wild Safari. I would 100% recommend Kilisa Tours and Safaris for better and unforgettable experienceWritten October 7, 2024
- knowledgen7440 contributionsOnce in a lot of fe time experienceThank you to Kilisa Tours for a unique trekking experience and once-in-a-lifetime adventure, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at 5,895 m above sea level. From when we contacted Kilisa Tours and Safari, Naick was there for us, providing us with everything we needed to reach the summit- Uhuru. We used the seven-day Lemosho route, and Kilisa provided us with two Guides, a chef and twelve porters who carried our bags, tents and food. Considering the high altitude, the food was of a higher standard, a credit to the chef. I can not thank the Guides and the Porters enough for their support and encouragement and for making the trek safer and enjoyable. Despite the challenges, you feel immense accomplishment upon reaching the summit. If you are thinking of hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, I urge you to consider Kilisa Tours and Safari. By using Kilisa, you will help support the local economy, as your money enables the company to provide employment opportunities to the local people. With Kilisa, hakuna matata, no problem. Kilisa Tours and Safari always deliver, and they will help you achieve your dreams of climbing the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world.Written September 23, 2024
- DiminishdRtrn0 contributionsFriendly and experienced company, with locally based office and employees.This trip was a long time in the making and Naick/Kilisa Tours helped us to achieve this every step of the way. Kilisa seemed to be the most reasonably priced when we searched around but when we finally got onto the trek, we realised just how good the value was for our money. We had a team of 15 locals from the Kilimanjaro Region with us, including two experienced guides, Nickson and Livingstone. With their help we, as inexperienced but reasonably fit hikers, were able to reach the summit. The team could not have been more supportive. In the long buildup, Naick was very patient and helpful in emails and whatsapp messaging, allowing us the time and knowledge that we needed to organise our trip. We got a thorough briefing and help preparing our trekking gear/clothes, at the hotel, on the night before the trek. Each evening we had a briefing about the following day, before getting a wake up call in the morning from our attentive host, Zakayo - who accompanied us to the summit on the final day and will make for a great future guide. We were treated to fresh ginger tea daily, as well as other hot drinks and soup to keep warm and big portioned meals/snacks for energy. The porters in the team have great strength and heart. After we had stocked our smaller bags with the day's essentials, they would pack up the camp, including our remaining larger bags and move the whole camp to our next location - overtaking us on the way! At this point, as others have mentioned, paying for a private toilet for your group/self, to have as part of your camps, is well worth the money from the start. Our guides were more than mere pace setters, pointing the way forward, they were knowledgeable about the local region, flora and forna. They have vast experience of climbing Kilimanjaro from all the various routes. Also, importantly, they were very humble, friendly, supportive, just generally good humoured company, as well as making for decent photographers for our small group! The trek itself is manageable, as the guides will tell you, it is more of a mental test and taking things "pole pole" - slow and steady will get you to the top, while allowing you to enjoy the journey and some breathtaking views along the way! Finally to emphasise again, this is a locally based company with local employees. They provided our small group of three with a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I hope that spreading the word with this review, will go some way to repaying them for their hospitality and the fantastic memories which they have given to us.Written September 22, 2024
- Hamisi A0 contributionsUNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCEI had a wish of climb Mount Kilimanjaro since I was a teenager, And my dreams came into realty after I met with Kilisa Tours & Safaris. The reason why I decided to choose them is because they had a good patient to me, and after talking to Naick my tour operator & designer he quickly understood what I wanted and offered me an idea of took the Lemosho route. This is because the rate of reaching the summit is 95%, because of it’s longer itinerary which allows better acclimatization, just a good level of fitness is recommended. From the starting point Kilisa Tours & Safaris was responsive through my Email, Arrivals, Pick up until the next day I began my Kilimanjaro trek through Lemosho route. The journey was incredible and together with the team I had was friendly & supportive. Through them and their encouragement they helped me keep pushing forward to the summit. I am sincerely happy and to be honest Kilisa Tours & Safaris is a home of hospitality. If you’re considering climbing Mount Kilimanjaro I highly recommend you to contact Kilisa Tours and Safaris for better experience and unforgettable memories.Written September 21, 2024
- Inspire158090268090 contributionsAmazing time! Memorable trekking experience with Kilisa Tours!What an amazing time!!! Kilisa Tours made our trekking experience by far the most memorable. Every staff member was supportive, friendly, and professional. I cannot stress enough how our guides paid attention to our needs and details. Thank you to Naick and his wonderful staff for an unforgettable experience. Very highly recommended!!!Written August 14, 2024
- eurikah0 contributionsUnforgettable Kilimanjaro hiking experience with KilisaKilisa is a trustworthy local Kilimanjaro hiking agency. We communicated the tour with Naick in June, then later experienced many problems such as our flight was cancelled, postponed; other group mates couldn't arrive at Tanzania on time etc. But Kilisa still helped to make our tour happen. The staff Goodluck, Sirili, Amos and others all were very friendly and kind people, taking good care of me and my son along the whole trekking. The last day of trekking, when we arrived at their office late, my ears didn't work well maybe because the altitude descending, Naick helped me personally to call another local agency for the next day safari group tour and set up the good arrangement to save our time and effort (Kilisa didn't have safari group tour exactly the next day). He is really a nice guy worth to work with.Written August 2, 2024
- jassiew20240 contributionsIncredible ExperienceWe had the most incredible experience hiking Mount Kilimanjaro for eight days through Lemosho Route. Thanks to all the crew for making us achieve the summit and making us feel at home Everything was exceptional; from the moment we started the journey until the very end were amazing. The accommodation was fantastic. The guides Goodlucky, Abraham & Joseph were very knowledgeable, friendly and truly made the trip memorable. They helped us to believe in our ability and made our mindset believe it will be easy to achieve it. Their teamwork helps everything to be easier, boosting the journey in the middle of hardship by motivating us with songs gives us joy and relaxation, the word of hope was POLEPOLE help us remain stronger and enjoy the trekking despite the obstacles we meet in the journey we won it. Talking about the food and drinks the chef prepared, it was the best and gave us energy for hiking. We can’t thank you enough, but I highly recommend this local company for anyone looking for a memorable experience of hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.Written July 29, 2024
- David M0 contributionsHiked with a local companyWe would like to express our deepest gratitude and give the highest recommendation to Kilisa Tours & Safaris that help in organizing our Safari and Mount Kilimanjaro hiking for 10 days. Their service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the trip was perfect. The accommodation provided was comfortable and truly a home away from home. The food they served was not only delicious but also catered to various preferences, making every meal a delightful experience. The best surprise birthday party the team prepared for my friend was very amazing. We didn't expect it at that Mountain location, the food, drinks and gifts were so good. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel so safe and supported throughout the journey. And let’s not forget about their well through-out itinerary, everyday was filled with exciting activities and breathtaking sights, making it a truly unforgettable experience. We can’t thank them enough for making our trip so incredible.Written July 29, 2024
- V9372QRchrisv0 contributionsUnforgettable experienceIncredible experience with Kilisa, felt safe and cared for the entire journey by the professional and funny guides Abraham and Joseph as well as all of the crew that made our summit successful.

- 647sigits0 contributionsMemorable Kilimanjaro with Kilisa.Kilisa, a locally operated tour company, gives us a truly memorable experience in Kilimanjaro. Naick gave us all the information we need from the start, and was very flexible on the term and itinerary. We took Lemosho route, accompanied by a furaha (happy) team lead by Abraham. It was the support team that made our journey so memorable. They are professional, cheerful, diligent, and mostly helpful. We thank you Abraham and the guides, Josef and David, Kuruwa the cook, Sirili, Baltazar, Gideon, Robert, Charles, Harold, Immanuel, and the other support staffs.Written July 17, 2024

- Jackline M0 contributionsLIFETIME EXPERIENCEIt was amazing so far, Tanzania is so incredible I don’t know how to describe it, but all you need to do is power your phone or camera battery there so many things you need to capture. Thank you so much to the whole team of Kilisa Tour (guides ,chef ,porter and driver)who work hand in hand to give us such a best and amazing Safari tour with good service and care about our wellbeing I had so much fun in safari I saw many animal like Elephant, Lion, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest and Leopard I learn many thing about them, guide was very knowledgeable he explained about animal and why they behave the way they do. The itinerary was well planned from the day we arrived up to the day the tour ended. I got the opportunity to visit the local society (Maasai society) . I learn a lot about them, their songs and taste local food. They are very generous and welcoming. I got many presents back home like Maasai Shuka, coffee, and art painting. I will think of Tanzania every time I look at them. Thank you very much (Asante sana) for the Kilisa tour, they are a huge part of making my trip amazing.Written April 15, 2024
- karagend20240 contributionsBest Tour EverTackling Kilimanjaro can be daunting, Kilisa made it possible for us. Our guides, Abraham, Alfonse, and Bacarri were the best possible guides. When we'd think we couldn't make it, they made sure we did. I highly recommend this company. They may be small, but they are local. It is important to support local, start here.Written February 10, 2024
- vpcastillo0 contributionsFantastic experience with Pristine Trails climbing Mt. KilimanjaroThe trip was great from the beginning to the end. Good contact/advice prior to the trip made a big difference. I had all of the small but needed things prior to travelling to Tanzania. A rep from the company was there to pick me up and take me to the hotel and everything was on tap when i arrived. The briefing/equipment check out by the Lead Guide and his assistants set me up for the trip and also gave me some time that night to unwind and relax after a long day of travelling. The climb, from the beginning to the end was professionally done. The guides were awesome (Kim and his crew), the tents were always set up and could withstand the wind that we encountered. The food was well prepared and noone went hungry. The support by the guides and porters was spot on and their never ending assistance in assisting us in getting to the summit was greatly appreciated. They were coaches, supporters and always aware of our excitement and physical condition so we could do the most important thing in hiking, talking about it after we're off the mountain. If i were to ever go to Tanzania again, I would do my excursion through Pristine Trails and if anyone I know wanted to embark on such an adventure I would recommend they go with Pristine Trails. I truly got my money's worth and ticked Mt. Kilimanjaro off of my bucket list and came back to talk about it.Written February 2, 2024
- D8768VQhb0 contributionsFun and adventurous!I successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro on December 12, 2023. I knew it would be a tough climb, so Naick Msemo from Kilisa Tours made sure I was accompanied by a reliable support team to accomplish my goal. Before the trek started, my guide Goodluck Mwanga made sure I had all the right gear I needed. Goodluck kept me well informed throughout, kept me motivated and kept me mentally prepared. All the other members of our trekking team including cook and porters made sure my climb was a successful climb by preparing delicious meals on time and by providing all the support and help I needed. The climb itself was a challenge but with the team I had on my side, it felt less daunting. Overall, it was a fun and challenging climb which I will remember for rest of my life. Naick Msemo is very helpful and down to earth. He kept me well informed before and throughout my trip. His responses to all the queries I had were prompt and honest. If you are someone who is looking for a successful climb while having the time of your life, I definitely recommend Kilisa Tours.Written December 20, 2023

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.
