Great Company
I would definitely recommend Kilimanjaro Brothers. We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro using the 8 day Lemosho Route . We found the guides and porters fantastic and the meals were very good. The guides would always make sure we were eating enough and to always go pole pole so we would acclimatise well to reach the top of Africa, and we did it YEH!!! Thanks Kilimanjaro Brothers.
They would always reply to our emails and there were many of them. When it came to payment we had a few concerns but in the end everything was good.

Surprise Birthday Celebration with Kili Brothers at 19,341 feet!!
What an amazing experience!! We climbed Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Brothers in March of 2017 and had an incredible time. Our guide Abraham and assistant guide Massaga were awesome! They were attentive, motivating, and fun to be around. They made the experience what it was. Every need we had on the mountain was taken care of, including them toting ginger tea up the peak on summit night. We were summiting on my husband’s birthday and at the top we were surprised with a Birthday Cake at 19,341 feet!! A porter literally carried that thing for a few days to surprise us. THAT’S customer service like no other.
We also arranged for a safari through Kilimanjaro Brothers and that was equally amazing. I definitely suggest that as well! I will also say that we were taken care of from the moment we stepped off the plane. Transportation, lodging every night, and every meal was taken care of from the time we landed to the time we took off. They thought of everything and I really appreciate that team! Kili Brothers all the way!!

Mount Kilimanjaro Trek and Serengeti Safari
We booked both the mountain climbing and the Safari through Kilimanjaro brothers.
Both were incredible
For the Trek - led by our guide John was extremely patient and answered all our many questions regarding wildlife/culture/scenery. The chef, Massawe prepared us fantastic meals in difficult situations. The porters took great care of us, supplying us with tea and snacks!
For the Safari - Juma was our driver, he went to great lengths to make sure we saw as many of the animals as possible - he also got us a fantastic view of the Wildebeests crossing the river Mara!
We stayed at the Maramboi lodge - all the staff were fantastic - as was the food and the quality of the room - a beautiful place.
I don’t have anything negative to say - we were happy with everything.
Thanks for a trip of a lifetime

Great experience with Kilimanjaro Brothers
My girlfriend and I completed a 8 day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro going up on Lemosho route and descent through Mweka.
Each of the trekking day was different and had varied memories. Mount Kilimanjaro itself is grandeur and Lemosho route is definitely very scenic, more than we had anticipated.
The key to a successful ascent of Mt Kilimanjaro is to take it laid-back during the first days and ensuring that you acclimatise to the altitude before attempting the final hike to the summit. Upon hitting Uhuru Peak, it is quite a sense of great achievement standing on top the mountain. It is for sure a an amazing experience watching the sun rise over the African skies and with amazing views.
We used the service of Kilimanjaro Brothers directly and George made all the arrangements for us. Everything was delivered as planned and at reasonable cost. Robin, the Kilimanjaro guide was an excellent choice and an expert in helping out alongside the a team of porters and cook.
The cook and porters were all very good and well organised, the food was good, warm and plentiful with fresh fruits. Everything was on time and the guide adjusted hiking tempo to our abilities and frequent photo stops. He knew well what he was doing. The hike itself, landscape and nature, is of course exceptional.
Without the help of Robin, we wouldn’t have succeeded in reaching the summit. George was an excellent planner and made all efforts in providing all the information we needed beforehand. Everything was as per the details provided and trust me that they know the mountain very well, providing you with the right info and the potential problems and solutions.
For us, using Kilimanjaro Brothers was a great experience.

A wonderful game drive safari
It was the best trip! We absolutely loved it!
We had a very wonderful 10 days safari, customized and tailored safari for us from Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti national park. We saw an incredible number of animals and birds, including the big five. Our guide, James, was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and the environment, and was great at pointing out animals that we would've missed.
James really listened to what we wanted to see and was attentive to our needs.
Our accommodations were top notch and the food at each lodge or tent camp was very good.
We were pleasantly surprised by the individual attention we were given by the staff at each place we stayed. During the day we traveled in our safari vehicle for a game drive, just my husband and I with our guide, and still the cost was very reasonable.
We can't say enough great things about George, the owner Kilimanjaro Brothers, and our guide.
It was the best trip for us!

Fantastic trip
We had a fantastic trip, trip of a lifetime really. Everyone was very helpful from the early stages of planning, a number of changes in dates and people right down to the actual climbing trip where everything was organised well and worked out pretty much exactly how I imagined it. Mount Kilimanjaro was amazing, very interesting and off the beaten path. The guides were amazing and we learned so much. All the porters we had were very friendly and patient with us. The scenic Lemosho route Trail was just a fantastic experience all around. Massawe our guide and crew were amazing and we felt like we had the Kilimanjaro to ourselves. Highly recommended for their good service.

Happy to meet Kilimanjaro Brothers team Fantastic
George the owner made himself very available for planning and was available constantly in contact with, throughout via WhatsApp and Email the days before our trip for any last minute planning. He gave very speedy replies and was very efficient even though we made multiple changes throughout the planning of the trip. He's as eager and willing to arrange your trip as he seems!
We were very happy to meet George and the team who picked us from the Airport to a hotel in Moshi. Where we were introduced to our guide. Add the next morning Kilimanjaro brothers team came ready for briefing and a little bit excirces before leaving for Machame gate.
Supplied us with everything we needed to succeed on our summiting Mount Kilimanjaro Uhuru peak. Our expectations were regularly exceeded with all aspects of our trip! The food was fantastic, the tents and sleeping bags kept us warm and the charming personalities of the whole team who took much enjoyment in helping us because they clearly love their jobs!
As an aside, we followed the tipping recommendations I read about from their online portal and tipped the team generously.
The only other thing I'd suggest is that if it's within your means, to have the people in your trekking group consider gathering extra hiking clothing (boots, hats, head lamps, etc.) to provide as gifts or donations to the porters. No matter which company you choose, the porters are all under-dressed because they cannot afford proper hiking clothes or shoes. The clothes they do have often come as used donations. If your trekking group can collect hiking clothes from friends before traveling it would make a very nice gift to give upon your departure.
I can give George and Kilimanjaro brothers team my highest recommendation. FANTASTIC!
Lexia.

Seven Days on Kilimanjaro and Five days safari with Kilimanjaro Brothers
My daughter and I just completed a seven day climb of Kilimanjaro and a five day Safari with Kilimanjaro Brothers. We have received excellent service preparing our climbing. The care for our wellbeing and support were patient, friendly and perfect and we always felt safe. I remember the sentence "pole, pole, just a few meters than there is the peak" hahaaa.
The guides (Maroa and Massawe) were truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their concern for our health and welfare and in helping us to achieve our goal was top-notch. The food on the climb was far better than we expected.
Also five days on safari with Kilimanjaro brothers was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We visited both the Manyara National park, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The food too was good and accommodations that arranged perfect.
Thank you George and Kilimanjaro Brothers team for making this a truly unforgettable experience! The excellent experience with the service provided by the company. I would highly recommend their service!
