Best Kilimanjaro Hiking Experience
I could not speak more highly of Kilimanjaro Heroes.
My husband and I did a private guided tour of Kilimanjaro through the Lemosho route (7 days). And had the best experience!
We had 2 guides, Emanuel and David, and they were the most amazing guides. We loved hiking with them every day, they were extremely positive and knowledgeable.
Our chef, Himedi, was also fantastic and we were amazed at the quality (and quantity) of food we were able to enjoy every day. We couldn’t believe that type of food was possible while hiking.
We also had 8 of the best porters out there. It was great getting to know them and they were always so helpful!

Professionalism and seriousness
KILIMANJARO HEROES ADVENTURES was recommended to us by our friends who traveled with them in 2023. They themselves had been recommended by friends....We recommend KILI HEROES without any reservation.
For the trek we did the MACHAME route in 7 days.
They are very serious, professional and attach great importance to safety (which is essential for climbing KILI). The organization was perfect and they do everything to make us feel good:
- before the trip thanks to the very good communication with Evarist, who answered patiently and very quickly to our dozens of questions!
- during the stay, where the organization was perfect! our chief guide Mwinyi organized life on the camp perfectly. Thanks again to him and his team for all the attention during the trek!...
Safety is essential for them. For the climb Mwinyi perfectly managed the problem with one of our 3 daughters (19 to 23 years old), who had a problem related to the altitude at 5400m. He quickly made THE right decision and brought her back down immediately, thus ensuring her safety! thank you. The rest of the family was all the way up 🤩.
But apart from these "technical" aspects we loved the mood and the atmosphere on the camp during these 7 days. We built important bonds with the whole team: 16 porters, 1 cook and 3 guides: the chef Mwinyi, Glory and Calvin. Without them, all this would not have been possible! They are adorable and we feel nostalgic when we think back to their songs, their dances and all their attention to make us feel good physically and mentally!
We warmly recommend KILI HEROES and the team of guides Mwinyi, Glory and Calvin. They were the best! and made this trek a moment forever engraved in our memories.
We also chose KILI HEROES for the safari. Our guide Jamal was great! very respectful of the animals, very attentive and interesting.
He guided us perfectly well in the parks while trying as much as possible to isolate us from the other jeeps. The organization was perfect!
Thanks to the whole team.
See you next time we hope!

Amazing Kilimanjaro and safari experience with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. We decided to do the 7-day Machame route. Right from the beginning, the communication was excellent—we received lots of helpful information prior to the trip, which ensured we were well-prepared for the adventure ahead.
During the trek, our guides, Wency and Bubusha, were incredible! Their positivity and extensive knowledge were key in helping us make it to the summit. We wouldn’t have made it without their support, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way. A special mention also goes to the chef, who provided us with fresh and delicious meals throughout the entire trek. It was amazing to have such high-quality food even in the middle of the mountains! The team of porters were some of the kindest and most cheerful people we've ever met. Their positive energy and hard work were truly inspiring, and they always made us feel welcome and comfortable during the trek.
We had an incredible 6-day safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire National Parks. Our guide and driver, Mbisi, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, a great animal spotter, and we learned so much from him. The food prepared by our chef was delicious, and the atmosphere after game drives, sharing meals and stories, was perfect.
Overall, we are amazed by their service, value for money and reliability and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this team for an unforgettable Kilimanjaro trek and safari adventure!

OUTSTANDING
Words can’t express how grateful my husband and I are to have chosen Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures as our team for this hike. The hike alone was incredible, but what truly made it a special experience was the crew that we went with. Gasper and Calvin were our guides and made our trip enjoyable, social, we got a Swahili lesson, and learned a lot about the mountain and culture. Our waiter, Adam, made sure we had hot water, served us food, made many trips to fill up our water bottles, and always had a smile on his face. Peter was our chef and it felt as if we were eating at a 5 star restaurant on a mountain top!!! The porters and tent crew were incredible. The hospitality was unmatched. Truly the best experience in every aspect possible.

Thank you Kili Heroes
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an adventure of a lifetime, and I owe it all to Kilimanjaro Heroes. I took the 7-day Lemosho Route, and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The guides were not just knowledgeable but also endlessly encouraging, sharing their expertise with patience and care. They knew the mountain like the back of their hands, and their confidence gave me the strength I didn't know I had.
The meals prepared by the cook were a true highlight of the journey. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always delicious and varied, which is not something I expected on a mountain trek. Every meal felt like it was made with thoughtfulness and a touch of home, giving us the energy we needed to push forward.
And then there were the porters—absolute superhumans. Watching them carry all that weight up and down the trail left me in awe. Their dedication and strength were inspiring, and they did it all with a smile, making the tough moments feel a little lighter.
What truly sets Kilimanjaro Heroes apart is how they treated us like family. They weren’t just guiding us up a mountain; they were with us every step of the way, rooting for our success, caring about our journey to the summit as if it was their own. It wasn’t just about reaching the top; it was about the connections, the support, and the belief they instilled in us that we could do it.
If you’re thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro, go with Kilimanjaro Heroes. They make you feel like more than just a climber—they make you feel like family. This journey was more than a hike; it was a transformative experience, and I couldn’t have asked for better people to share it with.
