They promised we would make it up the mountain, and we did.
Our group of nine successfully climbed Meru as a warm up, then completed the summit of Kilimanjaro. The trip leaders were experienced and helpful. The porters came to our huts and tents every morning with hot coffee to start the day. Our pace was set for success. Along the way we were passed by several groups who later stopped and suffered because they tried to rush the big climb. Our guides were knowledgeable and happy to share what they knew about the flora and fauna we were passing through. The food was decent and there was more than enough. It's a cold climb so bring a warm sleeping bag, puffy jacket, hat and mitts. You may want to bring a compact air mattress for the tenting on Kilimanjaro trip.

Knowledgeable, professional and flexible
The very best in Tanzania! I requested a custom tour with a very specific itinerary and Snowcap delivered and exceeded my expectations.
Their guides and porters are true professionals. I don't know if I would have made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro without the wisdom and encouragement of my guide. Likewise, my driver/guide for the safari was knowledgeable, fun and eagle-eyed.
The cooks were incredible. Bring an appetite! Every meal was a treat and I was always surprised at the high quality they were able to produce at a primitive camp.
These are good people offering an unparalleled experience at a fair price. Highly recommended!

I highly highly recommend Snowcap. KPAP provider that looks after their crew and offers great value
Snowcap organised our group of four a private seven-day climb of the Lemosho route in January. We were surprised at the value Snowcap offers compared to other providers, especially as it’s KPAP approved (which was essential for us and should be for any climber), but I can confirm that Snowcap cut no corners when it came to looking after its climbers and crew. We had the experience of a lifetime and are so glad that we booked with Snowcap.
The whole experience was incredible, beyond words. Our guides (Eddie and Issa) were fantastic and really made the experience for us. Not only were they knowledgeable and great fun, but their care for our health and overall experience was exceptional. Climbing Kilimanjaro can be tough, and the whole crew were so supportive and we can’t imagine the experience without them. Eddie and Issa were monitoring our health and energy levels and amended the route as we went to ensure we were acclimatising effectively. They seemed so committed to getting us to the summit whilst keeping us safe.
We were looked after from the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro airport. Snowcap arranged our hotel stay in Moshi before and after the climb and our airport transfers, making the whole thing as stress-free as possible. Eddie met us at the airport, checked us into our hotel, and did a thorough kit check and briefing the day before the climb. He even gave us recommendations on things to do on our pre-hike rest day and showed us some local places.
Hopefully if you’re already reading this review you’ve decided that you want to climb Kilimanjaro, but if you’re on the fence about booking with Snowcap, I can wholeheartedly recommend them and can be sure that you won’t regret it. Every single crew member has a special place in our hearts, and booking with a company that you know looks after their crew brings a lot of comfort. Thank you again for everything Snowcap. You really made our experience.
