I give all the credit to Edward for our experience.
We traveled to Tanzania to hike Kilimanjaro with the amazing mountain guide Edward Safari, who provided my girlfriend and I with excellent assistance during the six-day ascent via the Machame route. We chose the six-day journey over the standard five-day one in order to have an extra day to acclimate. This decision paid off handsomely, as we both made it to the summit despite the challenging alpine weather and several episodes of altitude sickness. The final close meeting at the peak made the difficult trek up the mountain worthwhile. Edward and his team of porters and cook took great care of us. I give all the credit to Edward for our experience.

Knowledgeable, friendly, kind, fun, capable, experienced, dedicated and professional.
We were picked up at the airport, our accommodations were comfortable and our food was good. The operator, hosts, guides and drivers couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great trip. The safari was like stepping into a David Attenborough film. We saw loads of wild animals so close we took the zoom lens off the camera. You could almost touch them.
Triple icing on the adventure of a lifetime were visiting Kilimanjaro Orphanage Centre, the side excursion to an Animal Sanctuary (where you could touch the animals) and the visit to the Chaga caves.
Special thanks to Edward and his amazing team for hosting a perfect African experience for us.

Kwesa is a very ambitious company always looking for the best of their customers
We really enjoyed our unforgettable and affordable trip with Kwesa (Kilimanjaro and Safari). The whole team was very nice and friendly, always looking for our best. Our guide was always trying to give us the best chances to see many animals as close as possible. Communication in advance was very easy, the company is definitely trustworthy. Always felt safe and welcomed, almost became part of the family. Thanks a lot for the unforgettable experience!

Kwesa Tours is the Best
Teacher and his team at Kwesa Tours led our group of 20 from the USA (CO, IL, and TX) via the Marangu route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It was one of the most fun, safe, and challenging experiences. The Kwesa team took care of us at every step, including preparations, briefings, dining, hiking, and ultimately preparing our mental attitude for summit night. We all felt confident about our safety and that Kwesa shared our objective to get to the top. I am grateful for Teacher’s friendship as well as his Cooks, Guides, and Porters, all of whom looked after us so well. I give them my highest recommendation for outfitting. It was a wonderful physical, mental, and cultural experience that I will never forget.

Choose KWESA for your Kilimanjaro Summit trip
Edward “Teacher” Lazaro, owner and leader of Kwesa Tours and his fine team led our family and friends to the summit of Kilimanjaro! Our group of 20 from the U.S. (IL, CO and TX) selected the Marangu route because it is the only route where you use huts for the ascent and descent and we generally had a crew with no climbing experience.
Teacher is a fascinating, principled, man who truly cares about his clients (we now call him our friend) and those values translate to his whole team.
Bottom line: Teacher and his KWESA team took care of us from start to finish, focused on our self care and achieving our goal - get to the top!… safely.
They provided support, preparation, briefings, nutrition (compliments to the cooks), hydration, and friendly encouragement throughout the trip.
The trek was culturally and environmentally interesting, safe, fun, yet challenging … with no technical climbing.
I highly recommend Kilimanjaro Wonders Expeditions.

The best experience money can buy!
Teacher and his team at Kwesa Tours led our group of 20 from the USA (CO, IL, IA, and TX) via the Marangu route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It was one of the most fun, safe, challenging, and life changing experiences. The Kwesa Team took care of us at every step from the preparations, briefings, dining, hiking, and ultimately the preparation for the summit attempt. Most of our group was successful in summiting in large part due to the assistance and fortitude of the Kwesa team. We all felt confident about our safety (especially since Teacher has climbed over 1,000 times), and the Kwesa Team shared our objective to get to the top as a whole. I am grateful for Teacher’s friendship and the cooks, guides, and porters who looked after us so well. I don’t think we would have had such success in reaching the top if it wasn’t for this wonderful team. I would definitely choose Kwesa Tours again and would recommend them to my family and friends. It was a wonderful physical, mental, and cultural experience that I will never forget and I hope to recreate.
