Reviews
A Remarkable Adventure in Tanzania
Our journey with Kilimanjaro Heroes was terrific. What began as planning a trek for 2 up Kilimanjaro via the 8-day Lemosho route evolved into a trek for 7 to the summit and also a 6-day safari for 4 of our party. What truly sets Kilimanjaro Heroes apart is their responsiveness, flexibility, and dedication to ensuring an unparalleled adventure.
From the outset, communication was seamless. The provision of a local US telephone number made coordinating with a Tanzania-based company effortless, eliminating the need for costly intermediaries. This direct line of communication proved invaluable, especially as our group expanded from 2 to 7 individuals and our itinerary transformed to include both the trek and safari.
During the ascent of Kilimanjaro, the local team's commitment to our success was unwavering. Despite encountering altitude sickness among three members of our group, the guides and porters went above and beyond to ensure everyone reached the summit safely. Their support was truly remarkable, from daily medical checks to the guides even carrying the day packs of those struggling on the final ascent—a testament to their dedication and expertise.
Moreover, the personalized touches extended beyond the trek itself. Arriving a day early in Tanzania, some members of our group ventured to explore Arusha National Park, while others opted for rest after the long journey. Unexpectedly, those who remained behind were treated to a tour of Moshi by our guide, providing a glimpse into local life and culture—an unexpected highlight of our trip.
For those short on time and seeking a safari experience, Arusha National Park offers an abundance of wildlife, including different types of monkeys, elephants, cape buffalo, giraffe, etc. alongside the opportunity for a walking safari—an ideal option for a condensed wildlife encounter.
When it comes to the safari portion of the journey, we recommend booking early, as accommodations in the various safari parks fill up quickly. Our late booking necessitated more driving than necessary. For visits to the Serengeti, opting to fly back can save valuable time, eliminating an extra 5 hours in the car—a consideration worth considering.
In summary, our experience with Kilimanjaro Heroes was terrific. From the initial planning stages, marked by flexibility and responsiveness to accommodate multiple changes, to the successful summit of Kilimanjaro and the unforgettable safari adventure, For those seeking an adventure of a lifetime in Tanzania, Kilimanjaro Heroes is definitely worth considering.

Incredible Kilimanjaro Team & Experience - Thank You!!!
Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures is top tier! I would STRONGLY recommend them to any of my friends & family and when we go back to Africa to experience a safari excursion, we will undoubtedly book with them. They genuinely care for their colleagues, the mountain, and hikers. I could write a book about my incredible experience with Kilimanjaro Heroes and I will be forever thankful for them.

Amazing Kilimanjaro climb with the heroes!
Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures is absolutely amazing, once a hero always a hero! As a small, 100% Tanzanian company, they provide a personalized touch that sets them apart from larger operators. Embarking on the 7-day Machame route with them was an absolute delight, thanks to their unwavering professionalism from start to finish.
Evarist, the owner, sets the tone for excellence by promptly addressing all inquiries and concerns, ensuring a smooth pre-trek experience. Once on the ground our team (Team Simba :D), led by the charismatic and highly experienced lead guide Mwinyi Mkude, made every step of the journey memorable. Mwinyi's blend of humor and professionalism always kept spirits high, while assistant guide Calvin Johnny's unwavering support and kindness were invaluable throughout the trek.
At camp, Glory Katamboi ensured our comfort with delicious meals and purified water, expertly prepared by the talented cook, Salumu. The abundance of food provided meant that, despite the rigorous trekking, we didn't even manage to lose weight :D A testament to Salumu's culinary skills!
The porters, with their friendly demeanor and ever-helpful attitude, added to the sense of camaraderie, making the experience feel more like a journey among friends than a guided tour. A tip if you are hiking: Don’t forget to donate some clothes and/or boots if you have the possibility, it will be highly appreciated!
Beyond the trek itself, Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures also arranged a trip to the Kikuletwa Hotsprings—a perfect post-summit treat. Swimming and relaxing with Mwinyi, Calvin, and Glory provided a fitting end to an unforgettable week of hiking.
With such exceptional service and genuine camaraderie, we're already looking forward to returning, perhaps to conquer Mt. Meru with our newfound friends. Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures has not just provided a trekking experience but has created unforgettable memories and also friendships that we cherish! :-)

The best tour operator we ever had
We had an unforgettable experience during our 7-day Kilimanjaro Ascent on the Lemosho route with the extraordinary team of Good Luck and David, the cook Mayo and the entire team of porters, all helping, courageous and smiling.
They put you in the best conditions. We couldn't imagine eating so well on Kilimanjaro.
The organization is perfect from start to finish, Evarist is incredibly responsive, everything is clear and simple.
A human experience that I recommend to as many people as possible.
Kilimanjaro Heroes exceeded our expectations.
Thanks to them .

Amazing guys
A unique experience.
We returned from climbing Kilimanjaro for 6 days via the Machamé route with stars in our eyes.
We had a memorable experience with exceptional people. From the start we were well received, well guided and always pampered.
Our team was great, thanks to our two guides Nyokaa and Joshua who always supported and accompanied us.
Thank you also to the whole team, cook and porters who are smiling and so caring people, always on the lookout for our needs and for making us happy.
Thanks to Ali for his cooking and to Peter for his smile and his tenderness.
Thanks also to everyone else: Wolfgang, Déo, Noel... for our shared moments. I will support Tanzania at the CAN :)
It is thanks to you that we managed to reach the summit, this victory is shared by everyone.
PS: you who read this comment, do not hesitate to call Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures, they will be able to guide you to take you to the summit. :)

Amazing and supportive Team
We had the best trip and adventure to the top of Mount Kili with the Kilimanjaro Heroes Teams. It was our first big hike with my wife to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and couldn't have been better. We did Machame route for 6days and Siza, our guide, and his team really took care of us. They elped us make it to the summit, which wasn't easy given the altitude and rain during the first days. Very greatful for the memories we made.
We then followed up with a 4 day amazing Safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti. Our Safari guide Touma was the best, we saw the most magestics animals and really had a blast taking pictures with them.
We had several calls with the team that was very flexible with our schedule and time difference living in the US.
We'd recommend them anytime! Thanks again

The best choice for Kilimanjaro and Safari!!
In March, I used Kili Heroes to climb Kilimanjaro and then went with them on Safari for 4 days with my family. We had an amazing time, the guides took great care of us and Kili Heroes in general did everything they could to satisfy all our wishes and to make our holiday the best. It is unbelievable that they can offer their service to such a low price compared to other companies. They are a rather small company so the service feels very personal, the clients are treated more like friends. I definitely recommend them, you will not regret it!
