I highly recommend Uprise Africa! I went on a 7-day Kilimanjaro trek, and the entire experience was outstanding. From start to finish, everything was professionally organized and well taken care of. Airport pick-up and drop-off were included, and high-quality gear was available for rent, making the trip even more convenient. The team—Odinga, Shabani, Amani, Samueli, Nzulo, Idi, and Hermani—was absolutely amazing. They were incredibly kind, supportive, and attentive, always ensuring I was in the best condition to continue the climb. Thanks to their dedication and encouragement, I was able to reach the summit. I’m truly grateful for choosing Uprise Africa. If you’re looking for a well-organized, personal, and unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience, I highly recommend them!

Thanks to Uprise Africa my sister and I summited Kilimanjaro on September 18th, 2024 via Machame route. From the start communication with Uprise Africa was easy and Gudluck had answers to all our questions. The team on our hike was absolutely amazing. Odinga and Kaniki did the most fantastic job in guiding us up the mountain. The chef Shabani provided delicious food everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We were impressed by how fresh and yummy food at over 4000m can be. They paid attention to every little detail and everyone went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. The tent and also rental equipment were in mint condition and they always chose wonderful spots to pitch the tent for us. It was an all around perfect experience. We also booked a safari with them and they organised all the transfers between airport, Moshi and Arusha. Highly recommended!

Booked 3 days visits at different safaris with Uprise Africa Explorer and driver Benson. We had an amazing time! Especially I loved Ngongorongoro crater. After all we also visited Maasai village :) Highly recommended️

Searching for a local company specialized in Kilimanjaro's ascents, I choosed Uprise Africa Tour only following the good vibrations reminded me by the company's website and their fb page and what i found on internet about thrm. Also I appreciated the Goodluck's (the boss of the company) fastness in answering to my requests on whatsapp about what was required, invoices, timeline, ecc... It was enough to convince me to book with Uprise also the Tarangire and Ngorongoro two days safaris, to do after the Kilimanjaro. My feelings was totally confirmed when, arrived in Moshi, everything was respected about the appointments (a driver was sent to pick me up to the airport, and for Goodluck was enough to see my message with flight's number and timeline to answer me back "hakuna matata" and plan the transfer; the transfer can be done from/to Arusha or Kilimangiaro airports, both of them) and payement. I forgot to write I was trawelling totally alone, but the "day one" of the Kilimanjaro's trekking (i ve choosen the Lemosho Route, due to the suggestions of Goodluck,  because I wanted more time to acclimatize myself), "my" crew came very very on time to take me at the Hotel (accommodation was also organized by the UpriseAfricaTour in a local hotel where you can encounter a lot of hikers from everywhere in the world going to/coming back from the Mount in the real spirit of the place) and they treated me, from the begenning, in a right way and I got an impression of professionality immidiately; after to be passed to get sleeping bag ( i prefered to rent it in Moshi and the company will send you a list with price and all stuffes you can rent, by the way I was really surprised you can rent everything you had to need, also mountainsboot or down jacket, if you decided to do kilimanjaro unexpectedely) and the oxygen tank (just in case), the 7 days of the Lemosho Route were really amazing; you are in the higest mountain in Africa, sourranding in the first days by an incredible and exotic environment and the last day of the big and beautiful glacier, and these conditions would be enough to be happy, but, much more than this, my guide (Aly) and crew (Franco, Frankie, Peter, David and Kelvin) took care of me in every single moment and for every aspect of the trekking: thanks to Aly for good acclimatization and to set the step in the best way for me and, so, to reach the camps everyday and the summit in a reasonable time and to have time to restore myself and keep the energies, really I did it without any out of breath (i suffered more, sometime, in italian alps, really...) or some problem else (excepted for a stomach problem the day before the ascent, who scared me but that was quicly and succesfully overcome with the Aly's cares and suggestions!) of course in the name of the mantra "eat, drink, rest" of Aly, to prepare yourself to the ascent to the top; also we did two "training" ascents to 4600 mt. and straightly we descented to sleep at 4000 mt in the recognized way to help your body to resist to highness. Aly is a very skilled and experienced guide and he was ever friendly and funny, even if I was alone the speaking went on all path long and also we laughed a lot. What about the rest of the crew? Very very professional and nice people, thanks to the porters wich did a real whorthy of respect job, they set up and down the tents and the camp ever very quickly, and to the cook, because of the very large and delightful portions of food (they feeded me like a baby), he also pancaked delightfully me every day when he found out i am a lover one. And to Franco, who helped and cuddle me in every little thing was possible! Never before and never after a "mountain kindness treatement" like this in a lifetime, saddenly I suppose!! In the next two days I stayed in Moshi, they accompained me to see Materuni Falls, Coffee plantation and Hotspring  everything was ok, also for the safaris, i spent there two days and i sleept in a good tented camp. Don't hexitate to book with Uprise!

Kilimanjaro and 😍🤩 Uprise Africa Tours On 20th of July 2024 2 of my friends and I successfully reached Uhuru Peak. Kilimanjaro has been on my Bucket List for some years and finally the dream became true. The research started around January. We joined Climb Mount Kilimanjaro and Kilimanjaro Hiking social groups on Facebook. By March we felt like theoretical experts. We also realised how many companies can actually help you with organisational bits. We made the decision to climb with local company Uprise Africa as their founder Gudluck Michael ticked all the boxes for us: mainly the price, route, dates communication, individual approach and how supportive he was with all our questions. By July, we were confident we were ready to reach the top of Africa! We chose 6 days Machame route plus 3 days Safari afterwards. Michael organised everything for us: airport pick ups, drop offs, hotels, equipment check, rental gear, food preferences and the whole team to climb with us. Then, he also sorted the safari adventure 🤩 Our guides Baraka and Odinga as well as the chef Shabani, his assistant Herman and all the porters went above and beyond to make our experience an unforgettable one. The motto “we meet as strangers and we depart as friends” have become so true and powerful. The hike was amazing with all the ups and downs, mixture of emotions, daily challenges in fitness levels, breathtaking views, great food, brilliant support, motivational actions, health checks, individual adjustments so all 3 of us felt supported, motivated, tired but happy, ready for another hiking day to reach the top. If not the amazing team, we would not make it, as we all had weaker moments at different times but they didn’t let us give up. Their positive energy radiated towards us! Everything, EVERYTHING has been organised to make the climb successful. Hakuna matata and Pole Pole to simply cherish the moment and enjoy life have been repeated on the mountain and are embedded in my daily lifestyle from now on. Safari was the cherry on top. Even though we were tired, with some post climb side effects, nothing mattered as the adrenaline, excitement and positive energy from the environment and animals who are living happily in their habitat again radiated towards us to help us gain our inner power back! I highly recommend Uprise Africa Tours if you want to climb with a smaller, local team who will look after you, treat you like their African family and adjust to your individual needs. Hakuna matata 💪🤩🥵😍🤗 If you have any questions, don’t hesitate and ask!

Just returned from an incredible adventure in Tanzania, where I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with #uprise africa explorer! 🌍 The journey was nothing short of magical—from the lush rainforests and surreal moorlands to the awe-inspiring summit above the clouds. Despite the physical challenges, the breathtaking views and encounters with wildlife kept me going. Meeting the local people, who live simply yet happily, was profoundly inspiring. Their slow-paced lifestyle is a refreshing reminder of what truly matters. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise was an indescribable triumph, a dream come true. Encountering wild animals in their natural safaris' environment was an incredible experience. The blue waters around Zanzibar were the perfect finale, offering tranquility and reflection after an exhilarating climb. Kilimanjaro tested my limits and filled me with a deep sense of accomplishment. This adventure above the clouds is one I'll cherish forever. 🌄✨ #Kilimanjaro #Adventure #upriseafricatours

Three incredible woman ..We summited successfully on 19th of July at 10:00am. Amazing! We had great weather and all mountain ourself..as we came after sunrise..Wow what an adventure. The view from the top was spectacular, words can’t describe it. We used UpriseAfricaTours and were so incredibly happy with the team. Experienced, supportive above and beyond helpful. They helped with everything and really prepared us and supported us entirely. Would whole heartedly recommend this company and the entire team. From the head guide, assistant guides, cook and our personal waiter "madam"and porters. All incredible! What an amazing achievement..Good luck to allof you..💪🏻🤞🏻

I chose Uprise Africa Explorer for my Kilimanjaro climb via the Lemosho route due to its stellar reputation on Tripadvisor and its status as a locally operated company. Despite initially planning to climb with another couple who had to postpone, I embarked on this adventure solo, a twist of fate that turned out to be quite rewarding. Gudluck, the owner, and my guide met with me a day before our journey, conducting a thorough briefing in a professional manner, outlining the rules and setting expectations. The following day, they arrived punctually, kicking off our adventure seamlessly. The team consisted of eight members to one, including the guide, chef, waiter, toilet attendant, and four porters, all of whom worked tirelessly to ensure my climb was comfortable and manageable. Their dedication and professionalism were evident as they efficiently carried out their assigned tasks, providing excellent service throughout. Despite a slight bout of altitude sickness, the team's meticulous planning and care ensured I had ample time to acclimatize, culminating in a successful summit of Kilimanjaro, fulfilling a lifelong dream. I wholeheartedly endorse Uprise Africa Explorer for anyone seeking a reputable, honest, and professional local company that prioritizes safety and well-being from start to finish.

I did the 7 days Lemosho route with Uprise Africa Tours and my guide was Kissima. I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism they displayed. The food was spectacular, the porters were very helpful as were the entire team. I was glad to go with a local company. Good personal service with a great team. The best in the business.

An amazing experience! The guides were so friendly, upbeat, and supportive. The food was excellent. The team was extremely helpful and kind. Uprise Africa Explore was a great company to hike with.

Last month, we had an unforgettable ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro, made even more remarkable by the incredible team from Uprise Africa Tours that accompanied us on this challenging journey. There were four of us in our group, and though we are not strong hikers, we all made it to the top! Gudluck, the owner, is very professional and responsive to all our queries. He personally picked us up from the airport and even drove us to have our first meal in the continent of Africa. The Beef BBQ was 10/10 delicious. Our chef, Alan, deserves special commendation for turning every meal into a delightful surprise amidst the mountainous terrain. These wonderful meals are our fuel to take on the day-to-day challenge. Herman, our caring little brother, sets up our table, prepares our coffee and tea, and even takes care of our water bottles every morning, along with our hot water bottles at night so we can have our much needed rest. The porters, with their unwavering strength and dedication, ensured our comfort and well-being, carrying not just our gear but also our spirits. They did their best to make sure our gears are safe amidst the unforgiving weather. Our summit porters, Franco, Mumoya, and Lazarus, sang to us on our way to the roof of Africa. That kind of energy is needed for the summit night. And of course, our guides, Kissima and Baraka (Mota), are beacons of positivity. Their happy spirits are infectious and motivating, leading us through each step with expertise and genuine enthusiasm. Their patience was truly commendable, especially during moments of fatigue or when adjusting to the altitude. They lead us safely to the summit. They knew Kilimanjaro so well—the terrain, the flora and fauna, and the wildlife. Every member of the team played an integral role in making this climb a success, and their collective effort created an atmosphere of camaraderie that added value to the overall experience. Hiking Kilimanjaro was not just a physical accomplishment; it was a journey enriched by the warmth, skill, and kindness of an exceptional team. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Uprise Africa Tours for your conquest of Kilimanjaro and trust Gudluck that he will have the right people to go with you on your journey.

We were extremely impressed with the level of services provided by our Uprise Africa Tours team throughout our Kilimanjaro Hike this November 2023. Their professionalism and dedication truly made the experience memorable and for us to summit Kilimanjaro. Specifically, we appreciated Kissima's and Baraka's extensive knowledge of the terrain, ability to navigate the trails and provide insightful information of the local flora and fauna which greatly enriched our experience. Their friendly and accommodating attitude made everyone feel comfortable and well taken care of. To our cook, Alvin, his ability to prepare delicious meals in a challenging outdoor setting was truly impressive. He put a great deal of effort into ensuring that every meal was not only nourishing to sustain our energy throughout the demanding trek, but also, a delightful culinary experience. Lastly, we want to convey our sincere appreciation to our waiter and all of our porters for their remarkable efforts and kindness. Their unwavering strength and endurance in carrying heavy loads and navigating challenging terrain were truly admirable. Their willingness to assist and their cheerful demeanor, despite the demanding nature of their work created an uplifting atmosphere throughout the trek were deeply appreciated. Indeed, a top-notch hiking adventure and we look forward to the opportunity to hike with the whole team again in the future. Jessie, Jane, Sheena and Donna

What an incredible experience! Can't have enough good words for Uprise Africa! The all team did everything so we reach the summit successfully. Everyone so friendly and helpful. Guides were on the top with the knowledge and care. We had the best time of our lives. After the climb we did coffe and waterfall tour and safari. All tours were organized well. Very happy with the experience that Uprise Africa gave to us. Hakuna Matata.

We (2 girls age 24) climbed the Kilimanjaro with the help of Uprise Africa Explorer. The company prepared everything very well, had good equipment and a lot of knowledge about safety/health. Our guides made during the walk good decisions and helped us to reach the peak happy and healthy! Would 100% recommend! The price was good for the quality tour they organize.
