We took the Marangu route, as it's the rainy season and it is the only one with huts. I figured that after a day walking uphill in the rain, we'd be miserable sleeping in wet tents. Good call, and for all the talk that this "coca-cola route" is so easy, I think many will find it challenging. We are both... More

For people who like hiking and spending days on end outdoors, Mt. Kilimanjaro is a must do! African Walking Company (booking through Peak Planet in the US) is a great way to go. Terrific guides, phenomenal crew, and super helpful booking agents. Highly recommend the Rongai Route itinerary. Then top it off with a safari or beach stop in Zanzibar.

I have twice climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with both friends and family. Our guide on both trips was William Augustino assisted by his 25 porters. They were all friendly and supportive. If we were tiring they would carry our packs. At the end of each day they would put up our tents and while we washed they would cook our evening... More

I cant say enough about how amazing Climb Kili was. We found out about Climb Kili through Trip Advisor and after checking out a few other tour companies, decided to use them based on the great reviews. They did not disappoint. First of all, dealing with Tiffany was a joy. She was always very quick to respond to any questions... More

I spent about two weeks in mid-March with ClimbKili as my guides for a 4-day hike up Mount Meru, a 8-day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro and a 3-day safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. They were fantastic and would highly recommend going with them for any (or all) of these adventures. The guides that accompanied us on these trips... More

Leading up to the trip i was overwhelmed by the choice in operators and after reading reviews & searching online we eventually booked via www.climbmountkilimanjaro.com who use... More

What can I say about this magical experience, The only advice I would give is to ensure you train a Little before you go, perhaps 4 months before the trip start by going on short walks and maybe some cardio. Once you have a little level of fitness you are ready, we choose a fairly easy trek route, there are... More
