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.

Mwinye was the absolute BEST.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can't express enough how phenomenal our experience was with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures! From the moment we began planning our trip to the final descent, every detail was handled with expertise and care.
First off, the team at Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures are true professionals. They're not just guides; they're seasoned adventurers who know the ins and outs of every trail and peak like the back of their hands. Our guides, Mwinyi, Calvin, Gloria & McTemba were hands down the best of the best. Their knowledge of the mountain, its flora and fauna, and the local culture enriched our journey tenfold. Not to mention, their infectious enthusiasm kept our spirits high even during the toughest stretches of the trek.
Speaking of the trek, wow! Kilimanjaro is a beast of a mountain, but with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures, we felt supported every step of the way. The routes were carefully planned to maximize acclimatization and enjoyment. And the scenery—breathtaking doesn't even begin to cover it. From lush rainforests to otherworldly alpine deserts, every turn presented a new marvel.
Safety was a top priority for Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures, and it showed. The equipment provided was top-notch, the campsites were clean and well-maintained, and the team constantly monitored our health and well-being. We always felt secure, allowing us to focus on soaking in the beauty of our surroundings.
And let's not forget about the food! I was genuinely surprised by the quality and variety of meals prepared for us on the mountain. From hearty breakfasts to delicious dinners, the chefs (thank you, Chef James!!!) at Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures made sure we were well-fed and energized for the journey ahead.
If you're considering trekking Kilimanjaro, look no further than Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures. They don't just offer a trek; they offer an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring moments, camaraderie, and personal growth.

We made the peak because they said they wait us in the top from first day :)
Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures is well organise, It has a professional team. They always try to check on us during the trek. The food is delicious and the cook also strives to provide hot meals even on the last day when we ascend to the summit. Hot ginger tea is always there. The porters are cooperative with us and we also see the work of one team.

Unforgettable experience of Safari and Kilimanjaro climbing
We had a pleasure to experience 7 days Kilimanjaro hike via Lemosho route and 4 day Safari in Tarangire, Serengheti and Ngorongoro parks with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures and it was perfect.
4 day Safari in Tarangire, Serengheti and Ngorongoro parks
Driver and guide: Jamal was our driver and guide for these 4 days of safari. Jamal is an amazing person. He was very concerned about our safety, well-beeing and was doing everything possible to maximize our experiense. We had plenty of time to watch all animals, he was stopping every time when we asked him, he was looking for animals and was able to name each of them. He also told us a lot of ineteresting facts abouts animals we met and tried to answer all our questions. I had a feeling that we were a group staying the longest time with animals and making more stops than others. He never told us that we are in the rush and let us enjoy every moment. Jamal seems to be really passionate about his job and we could feel it.
Food: we had our own chef Walter travelling with us. The food was great. Everything was very tasty, always warm and fresh plus refreshing drinks from fridge on board. Big thanks to Walter.
Experience: we visited three parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengheti. We were very lucky in each of them - meeting a family of around 30 adult and young elephants in Tarangire, lions resting just 5 meters from our car in Serengheti, hundreds or even thousands of zebras and wild beasts and a family of lions (2 males, 3 females, 7 babies of different age) in Ngorongoro, zebra blocking our road on the way to the city was our top, but we've seen much more than that. That was unforgettable, big thank you to Jamal, Walter and Kilimanjaro Heroes for organising such a great adventure for us.
7 days Kilimanjaro hike via Lemosho route
For two of us we had 2 guides, 1 cook and 8 porters to carry our staff. From start to finish, this adventure was nothing short of unforgettable, and a major part of that was due to the professionalism and dedication of our amazing guides, Domi and Boni.
Guides: Domi and Boni were not only knowledgeable and experienced in all things Kilimanjaro, but they also exuded positivity and encouragement throughout the trek. Their passion for the mountain and commitment to ensuring each of us reached the summit was evident in every interaction.
Food: The food provided by our cook was great. Every meal was delicious and hot, which was a welcome comfort after long days of hiking.
Porters: I'd also like to highlight the incredible efforts of the porters. They worked tirelessly to carry all our baggage, set up our tents, and maintain a comfortable campsite for us. Their hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed, they were always smiling and ready to assist in any way possible, making our trek not only enjoyable but also stress-free.
Experience: Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures to anyone looking to conquer Kilimanjaro. With exceptional guides like Domi and Boni, delicious food, and a dedicated team of porters, this company ensures that every climber feels valued and supported. Thank you for an amazing journey!

Patient, helpful and top notch service! A step above the rest!
We went to Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Patrick from Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventure and it was an amazing experience we will never forget! Evarest, who owns Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventure, was so helpful in setting up our safari and answering all of our questions. We saw lions, rhinos, giraffes, baboons, warthogs, etc. and Patrick was so kind and patient in letting us take as much time as possible when watching the animals. We literally didn’t have to worry about anything as Evarest set up all of our meals, accommodations, transfer into Tanzania, etc. Would highly recommend visiting Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventure!

Unforgettable Safari Across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti!
Our safari journey through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Serengeti National Park was absolutely incredible. We were fortunate to spot an amazing variety of wildlife, including all of the “Big Five” — lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. Each day brought new and exciting encounters with these magnificent animals.
Our guide, Jamal, was exceptional. He shared his extensive knowledge about the animals and their behaviors, which greatly enriched our experience. The vehicle and equipment provided by Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures were top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey. We were also impressed by the quality of the meals and accommodations throughout the trip, which added to the overall enjoyment of our safari.
This was truly a remarkable adventure, and we are grateful to Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures and Jamal for making it so memorable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier safari experience in Tanzania.
