My friend and I were beyond happy with our amazing experience climbing with Popote. No complaints on any front. The staff was professional, friendly, and made our experience amazing. From the moment we stepped out of the airport, to the moment they dropped us off at the airport, Popote was on top of it and did everything necessary and beyond to make our experience amazing and not stressful. Food and all other services camping were immaculate. I would highly recommend booking through Popote to anyone!

Myself and a friend conquered Kili with Popote and it was the best adventure I’ve had yet. I credit my incredible experience to the beyond wonderful staff. Every staff member was dedicated to making our experience the best it could be. We got to know each staff member and they got to know us and with ease we all became quick friends. The food was very satisfying, our camping accommodations (portable toilet, tents, etc) were more than comfortable, and our guides were so phenomenal. Not to mention they took great care of us from the moment we landed to the moment we departed. All together, it made for an experience that completely exceeded my expectations, summiting was just the cherry on top! I would book again with Popote and highly recommend it to aspiring Kili climbers that want a pure and magical Kili experience. Thanks Popote for an adventure I won’t forget!

Popote are simply the best guys you could wish for when climbing Kilimanjaro. The whole team from Sabino and Redeem in the office through to each and every one of the porters and guides were 100% focussed on ensuring we had the best possible experience. We climbed the Lemosho route as a family of 5 and had a team of 21 to take us up the mountain - 3 fabulous guides in Shani, Dulla and Safi, plus our wonderful cook who never ceased to amaze us with what he could produce at the top of a mountain!! Crazy Willy kept us smiling during the whole trip as well making sure we all ate and drank plenty and Mickey the porter was an absolute star coming back down to help with daypacks if anyone was flagging! Every single one of the team was always smiling and enthusiastic and we literally wouldn't have made it without them. On summit night my husband and both of the older children struggled with the altitude and Shani, Dulla, Safi, Willy and Honest literally physically helped them up, carrying their daypacks, producing hot ginger tea when the sickness hit and supporting them when they didn't think they could make it. I really can't put into words how amazing these guys are - having looked at the other teams on the mountain there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we had the best people looking after us in Popote.
A huge thank you to everyone at Popote for making my dream come true!!

We had a great Tanzania experience with Popote. We booked a Kilimanjaro trek followed by a 3 day Serengeti/Ngorongoro Safari. Sabino and his team organized everything impeccably, they showed great flexibility in adapting to some major change of plans as well from our side.
The trek through the Lemosho route was professionally organized, guides Stanly and Khatibu deserve special mention for their patience and never-ending smiles through the trek. Both were highly experienced and that contributed greatly to the success of our trek. We were a group of 4 and our vegetarian preference was taken care of very well.
We went on the Safari after the trek and here too, guide/driver Kent ensured a great experience, with his keen eye for spotting the elusive hyena, leapord and other wildlife.
Sabino also organized our sightseeing and shopping expeditions around Moshi, not really part of the itinerary.... just an example of their flexibility.
All in all, highly recommend Popote!

I climbed the Kilimanjaro Machame route with guides Jamal and Florian for 7 days. They are the best guides on that mountain, constantly concerned with our health and progress and also just very nice and funny guys, always up for a good laugh.
Lead guide Florian is extremely competent and experienced. He could reassure us and answer to our every question or concern. It is thanks to him and his “pole pole” pace that we all made it to the summit, and in good time.
We had three delicious meals per day thanks to chef Boka, had a clean portable toilet thanks to Yula, got great pictures, motivating fist bumps and hot tea during summit night thanks to the adorable Masanja, and the crazy waiter Fela cracked jokes and danced with us during meals.
The other porters were so helpful and gave us the best swahili lessons we could hope for. The overall atmosphere with the whole crew was great, they made me laugh a lot and I felt safe and cared for at all times.
No negative points here. Would 100% recommend. Asante sana Popote!
