Professionally organised 6 day machame Trek
5/5

We just completed the 6day Machame route, and we couldn’t thank our guides Karrimor & Mr. Dixon enough for being the reason we made it to the summit! (along with the best of the best team!!)

We chose to hike Kilimanjaro with Nafika tours due to their amazing reviews and being a local company, and they did not disappoint. From the start, everything was very well organised, we had so much detail about the trek itself, packing list, food menu and a meeting with the guides to check out gear before the trip.

Once on the mountain, the team kept us motivated through the harder parts of the trek, even through the torrential rain/hail/snow, they kept us going! Our porters rushed past us everyday to make sure our tent was ready and there was hot tea and snacks waiting for us to arrive, they are absolutely amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better team! A special thanks to our waiter David & Chef who made sure we had tasty food, full water bottles and comfortable nights in the tent. Everyone was so friendly and always smiling/singing/laughing!

Summit day was very challenging but SO rewarding and emotional once you get to the top, Karrimor & Mr Dixon, thank you again for being the best guides!!

I would highly recommend booking with Nafika for your Kilimanjaro trek, we had an amazing experience and it wouldn’t have been possible without them! Thank you all SO MUCH for being the reason we made it to the summit!

Extremely professional, they make sure your dreams come tru
5/5

Nafika went above and beyond any possible expectations. Starting from the impressive availability of Elias in organizing each detail of our trip with very short notice and accomodating all our requests. Then Eli and Diklan, our super attentive guides who made it possible for us to reach the summit. But behind the scenes there’s much more that increases your chances to successfully climb the mountain: Jamali surprising us with warm boiled water after every trek and ensuring we had everything we needed all the time, Kennedy’s delicious dishes (we even had pizza, fries and popcorns on the mountain!) - big and balanced portions to make sure you intake all nutrients required for the trek, the support of John during the summit who carried on is own the oxygen tank in case of need plus thermos with hot tea to fight the cold, the endless efforts of Frankie, Simon, Lucas, Justin and Paulo who carried every day enourmous weights just for us being able to continue the trek - we opted for the luxury experience which includes standing tents with camping beds (highly recommended to ensure proper rest and avoid the cold soil) and portable toilet (as well, highly recommended since there are just public toilets on the route).
Last but not least: their smiles during the entire journey, their continuous support through laughs, jokes and songs sang all the way to the top (even in the most difficult moments of the summit). And just to mention: the crew always found the best spots in the camps with breathtaking views of the mountain and more privacy compared to other groups.
We will keep this experience forever in our hearts - thank you Nafika and the entire crew for making this possible. Forever grateful.
Finally, also the 3-day safari after the trek was very well organised: our guide Edi knew every route of the parks (tarangire, ngorongoro and lake eyasi) and made sure we had another incredible experience.

Simply choose Nafika - you will not be disappointed.

Helpful and Well organized!
5/5

Climbing Kilimanjaro was the hardest thing we have ever done. When we decided to do it, we didn't conduct much research; we simply planned to attempt it while in Tanzania for our honeymoon.

Upon arrival, we looked for trustworthy tour guides, as we had read about scams online. We were initially skeptical about booking online, but choosing this local tour guide turned out to be a fantastic decision! Elias was incredibly helpful, always easy to contact, and assisted us with all our questions and concerns. He even managed to organize everything at the last minute.

The team that accompanied us on our Kilimanjaro climb was professional and extremely supportive. Even when we felt it was impossible, they cheered us on and encouraged us every step of the way. We were often the last ones on the trail each day, and we doubted whether we would be able to reach the summit under the circumstances. However, our tour guides always believed in us, remained patient, and never once criticized us. Their unwavering support made all the difference—without them, we wouldn’t have made it!

Thank you, Nafika, for helping us achieve this dream!

8 day Lemosho trek of Kilimanjaro, ACHIEVED!!!!!
We had a fantastic experience from day 1 of the trek. The guides were top notch and extremely knowledgeable, in fact the guide who took us, Eli, seems to be well known throughout Moshi as an expert guide and well regarded. I found this out when I went shopping in Moshi, I talked to a few people and they all knew of Eli.

The whole team, from the guides to the cooks, porters, etc, knew exactly what needed to be done, and carried out their jobs as required. As a 59 year old male, I was overweight and struggled with the last day, but with the support of the whole team, we attained our goal and I reached Uhuru Peak.

I could not have done this without the support of the whole team.

5/5

This Kilimanjaro climb and safari were recommended by a friend, and I chose Nafika for the climbing activities, including guides, service staff, and porters. Everyone was very enthusiastic and constantly ensured my safety, explaining the scenery along the way and the history of Kilimanjaro, allowing me to not only enjoy the joy of climbing but also gain a deeper understanding of the mountain's history. The safari guide had excellent driving skills and was great at spotting animals, showing us all the wildlife and explaining their history and origins. I am very grateful to Nafika for this unforgettable experience and thank everyone for their hard work during this trip.
