Adventure of your life
We were on Kili climb with them. A hard challenge but not at least due to excellent organisation, polite team and motivating guide we did it. We would recommend to go with Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris! Just one thing to do better: send confirmations for the prepayments to your customer! Thank you for this great experience! You did a great job!

The perfect Kilimanjaro climb with two great guides :-)
We are two friends and booked a private tour and everything was well organized and reliable. The pick up from the airport was on time and everybody was really nice and friendly. We met our main guide Rashid the day before the climbing started. He checked our equipment and answered all our questions we had. The stuff we didn't need for the climb was stored in the office of William, our tour operator from Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris. At the gate of the national park we met our assistance guide Ben. Ben and Rashid are friends and have a good spirit together. We had so much fun with them on our five day journey to the summit. They both can speak good English. The last day to the summit is really hard and Ben and Rashid always motivated us to get to the top. At the summit the view is really amazing ...especially when the sunrise starts. Back down in Moshi we decided to invite Rashid and Ben to dinner for the amazing trip.
If you want a perfect tour to the summit of Kilimanjaro with reliable and funny guides ask for Rashid and Ben :-)

Everything was well arranged and we were in best hands!
We had a very good time and were really happy with our guides. Even after climbing Kilimanjaro we have still contact with William and Rashid from Tansania. So we just can highly recommend this company!

my daughter felt during a daytrip. No Help, no refund for the money for a planned safari.
We paid all safari fees for three persons, five days about 5500 $ in cash and in advance. Because there were a few days before stating the safari we booked a day trip to Marangu-falls. On this walk our daughter felt and broke her arm very difficult. So difficult that the doctors told us
to go back to germany as soon as possible. So we had to leave immediatelly. Our daughter was not able to fly home alone. She still can not move her ellbow, wrist or fingers - six weeks later.
We tryed to inform the owner of kilimanjaro budget safaris immediatelly, but we couldn´t get in contact. So we wrote him and told him, that we were not able to go on safari. He did not respond. After tansanian friends contacted him, his father brought us $ 900 back. Now we contact him
and his father who owns another safari company. The fsather says, William is the boss, William say his father is the boss.
Do not book here or do not pay in advance. You will find no help if there happens an accident - with a guide from this company, while a trip
from this company.

Excellent Safari on a Budget
Great if you are on a budget but still want to get the full safari experiance! Super service, very nice staff, delicious fresh cooked meals, action and a lot of wildlife. They try to show you every animal and choose the best spot, so you can take great pictures. Would definitely book again and recommend to my friends and family. Thank you very much William, Victor and Geoffrey

Don't book!!!!
This company is not fair and not human in case of problems.
I had an accident and needed to cancel the tour.
There was no good communication.
There was no support and interest in the customers.
Nearly no repayment.
Don't book!
There are enough other companies that can show you animals in nationalparks or organize a tour to Kilimanjaro for the same (or better) price.

More than we bargained for
Last week I finally conquered Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris who organized our climb and the R & R afterwards in Zanzibar. I found the communication and all the prior arrangements, for tents and climbing equipment well taken of such that the whole climb and the holiday in Matemwe Zanzibar has gone on very smoothly. I found rates are very reasonable and yet we slept in very good accommodations and had great meals every day.
Nicholas was more than excellent as a guide trekking the mountain, he really took very good care of us always ensuring that we were safe, myriad narrations about the Mountain and the whisky shots in the evenings after the daily briefings. I now have a brother in Tanzania.
Thank you Kilimanjro Budget Safaris team for getting us to the summit. Zanzibar was great last minute inclusion in our itinerary because we got the time to rest, soak up the sun on the pristine Matemwe beaches and rejuvenate after the climb. Tanzania is a very beautiful country with lovely people and Kilimanajaro Budget Safaris is great company and we will be back to explore

Wonderful Safari Experience
Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris is an amazing company that looked after our group wonderfully from start to finish!
William was very prompt in planning our tour, answering all the questions we raised and in the end came up with a great travel plan.
We found our guide George waiting for us at Kilimanjaro Airport. He's a friendly and knowledgeable travel guide. He made sure that we saw most of the wildlife we had anticipated like elephants, a cheetah climbed on our vehicle, lions, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, warthogs, a python and very many birds too.
The experience with the Bush tribes was surreal, they live in another time and survive just by hunting small animals and collecting fruits.
The weather in February is a bit hot but ideal for spotting animals near water points.
My favourite park was the Ngorongoro Crater. Its such a beautiful place that you need to experience in person as no words can describe it.
From the viewpoint then driving to the floor to enjoying lunch by the lake with flamingoes and elephants walking in the near distance is purely amazing.
I recommend Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris with no reservations as they went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful time.
