Where to begin! The kilimanjaro Trek has been something on my bucket list for 20 years. Only recently after turning 40 i realised i needed to get out and do it.
I started my journey pretty well knowing what route and length of time i wanted to do. I just needed a tour company, but wanted a smaller local operator so i know my $$ would go directly into the Tanzanian economy.
Jerry Tanzania came recommended by someone who had trekked with them previously and Im very grateful they got recommended for the reasons below.

Quick and Informative emails:

Straight off the bat, Jeremiah (Owner of Jerry Tanzania Tours) was quick to respond to all enquiries i had. Even after i had made the booking and paid up in full, any questions i had were answered quickly and thouroughly. No question seemed too hard for Jeremiah.

Ease of Booking:
Easy to navigate webpage. You can book and pay in full or pay a deposit with an easy payment plan. You pay into the tanzanian bank so you can trust using your card.

The Actual Tour:

I chose the 7 Day Lemosho Route, it has ample time for acclimatisation for the altitude as well as fantastic views.
On the 7 day tour, day 1 is pick up from the airport. My Chief guide and Driver collected me promptly and made me feel at home and welcome.
On the first and last day of your tour you stay at a hotel, Jerry picked a comfortable and clean hotel in moshi which included free wifi etc.
On the mountain from Day 2-7, My chief guide and team worked their backsides off to make sure i didnt have to lift a finger. The Chef cooked unbelievable meals. I even had fried chicken at 15,200ft (4600m) above sea level.
My chief guide was incredibly knowledgeable on all things to do with the mountain and altitude. he educated me about the plants, geology and fauna local to the mountain. His knowledge and abilities made sure i was ready in health and the mindset to successfully summit on the 19th of October 2023. It was sad to leave him at the end because we had struck up a friendship. I hope our paths cross again in life.

Jeremiah & the team at Jerry Tanzania Tours really went above and beyond to make sure my Kilimanjaro dream come true, they gave me an experience that will never be topped by anything else i ever do in life. I could not recommend their company more. I even got 3 visits by Jeremiah the owner himself ( one on arrival night and two after the tour).

I will be back to do a safari next year and Jerry Tanzania Tours will be my choice for it.

We had an amazing safari experience organized by Jerry Tanzania Tours and can highly recommend them!

We were a group of two families with children between the ages of 8 and 10. Leading up to the safari, we had a LOT of requests, such as accommodating the kids' shorter attention spans and many dietary requirements. Jerry took everything in stride and organized the perfect trip for us. Everything was brilliant from start to finish. Our drivers, Michael and Shirima, were friendly, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable. Every day was perfectly organized, taking into account the weather, our energy levels, the best animal viewing opportunities, etc. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and many more. The lodges recommended by Jerry were all fabulous with great food and service.

This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us and I'm so glad we chose to go with Jerry. Thank you, Jerry and team, for the wonderful memories!
