I booked my Kilimanjaro climb (6 Day Machame route) with Ascend Tanzania because I was travelling solo and on a budget, but also didn't want to just go with the cheapest option. Ascend Tanzania fit perfectly with what I was looking for. They handled everything from airport transfers and accommodation pre and post climb to everything to do with the climb itself.
Our guides, Rama and his assistant Charles, were very friendly and knowledgeable and it was clear straight away that they cared about our health and safety as well as getting us to the top (which they did).
We had a small group: 3 climbers, 2 guides and 10 porters, which made the whole experience feel a lot more personal than I'd imagine some of the bigger groups experienced. It meant we got to know everyone on our team, even where there was a language barrier, and they all couldn't have been nicer, more encouraging or more helpful.
The equipment they provided (tents, etc) was perfect and the food was far better than I had expected.
I would, and will, recommend Ascend Tanzania to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro.
Hello Cian
Thank you so much for taking the time out to review our services :)
We are so glad that you chose us to host you.
Indeed my team is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, fun and hard working and the entire credit goes to them.
As you have also witnessed that we focus more on safety and success rather than just conducting the tour and offer the cheapest rate. We believe in providing quality and experience of a lifetime to all our clients.
Best Regards,

Dennis, Phaza and Jumanne are amazing guides and so is their team. Social, smiley and cooperative people. 100% succession rate! Would like to do it again. Highly recommended!
My girlfriend and I couldn't have been happier with the end-to-end experience with the team from Ascend Tanzania, especially to our awesome guides (George, William and Abraham - ask for them if you can).
1. They are super professional in their handling before and after: ensuring you are across everything to make you feel at ease with a pretty daunting but exciting experience and welcoming all feedback to continuously improve and be the best.
2. The guides speak excellent English and are extremely knowledgeable, they will look after you extremely well - and if you follow all of their tips, there is no reason for you not to make it to the peak.
3. The food is absolutely amazing - awesome variety and extremely accommodating to different preferences.
4. A very nice touch was being woken up with a nice hot drink of coffee, tea, Milo, chocolate etc...
Thank you so much for all of your help, support and guidance! Literally couldn't have done it without you all.
Ascend tanzania was amazing. They took care of everything from the gear and clothes to the amazing food. They provided us with everything we needed and guided us the best so that we could have a memorable and successful trek on kilimanjaro.
Asante sana!
I cannot say enough good things about Ascend, their team, and our experience. 5 Star in every way. Venance, our guide, and his team of assistant guides, cooks, waiters, and porters could not have been better. Not only did they ensure we were safe, they waited on us like it was the Four Seasons. I felt very comfortable with the level of knowledge about the mountain, our route, and the best chance for us to make it to Uhuru Peak. I would use Ascend again without question.
We have recently returned from our almost one-month lasting holiday in Tanzania and Kenya. One part of our holiday was Kilimanjaro trek by 5 days Marangu Route organized by Ascend Tanzania Moshi. From the first contact with them (Fred Nmwandu), they were very communicative and helped me to organize 5 days Marangu Route. Our guide Lazaro Mungure was amazing experienced mountain guide with high knowledge and competences. He became for us not only guide for 5 days trek but a real friend who has shown us not only the beautiful Kilimanjaro but also a lot of local points of interest. Me and Lazarao we were on the Uhuru Peak as a first on 11th of December 2019 at 6:00 a.m., my wife was waiting for us at Kibo Hut, where we were back at around 9 a.m. What to add more? Big thanks to all team: guide, guide assistant, waiter, cook and all of the porters, who took care of us every minutes of the trek. So, if you wanna go for any Kilimanjaro Route, let's choose Ascend Tanzania with mountain guide Lazaro. Ales and Zuzana Czech Republic.
