Awesome
Climbing Kilimanjaro was the adventure of a lifetime thanks to Almighty Kilimanjaro.
Our guide, William, was incredible - he was friendly and knowledgeable (with over 750 summits and around 20 years experience) and thus comes highly recommended. Do yourself a favour.
The company itself was transparent, trustworthy and attentive. They treat their staff well, and seem to be a powerful force for good in the community.
The food on the mountain exceeded expectation and the tents and equipment are in decent shape as well.
I would definitely advise; spending a longer time on the mountain for better acclimatization, packing an excess of waterproof items, getting a local sim card (there is decent signal at the majority of camps), and packing a variety of snacks.
Uhuru peak is a reward for a worthy effort. Go for it!

A great experience
I am really grateful for the communication with Almighty Kilimanjaro and Rasheedy from the get-go as I got all the information I needed about the trip right from the start and this helped me in planning what I needed for each day of the climb. Though there was frustration regarding getting my referral visa, it turned out okay as I did not need to apply as early as the embassy website noted and it turned out that Almighty Kilimanjaro's timing for sending me the documents I needed wasn't late after all. Rasheedy was always responsive when I asked questions and that's appreciated as well.
Now for the actual climb, meeting the team was great and everyone was always extremely friendly (especially since I ended up being the only one for the climb, I definitely felt a ton of attention, which I may not be so used to but everyone was doing their job at the end of the day so I'm grateful for that). Emmanuel was an attentive lead guide who seemed to know his stuff and pointed out interesting facts, flora (not so much fauna out there over this period) and much more. He also made sure we always left early and beat the crowds, which made everything much easier. Joseph, the assistant guide, was always super friendly, constantly smiling and helpful. Evans, the chef, was always enviably calm and also friendly, which I really admired. Always great to watch him swiftly move from cooking one dish to the next. I just feel bad I couldn't eat much as we got higher and I definitely wish I had all that delicious food now that I am back on the ground. Babelu (waiter) was always respectful and always helpful even when I got grouchy when things got harder for me and Daudi, Michael & Bam (porters) were amazing all through, though I couldn't speak to them as much due to the language barrier. Sadly, Michael had to leave a bit early due to problems at home, hope all is well now.
All in all, without this team and their support, I never would have made it to the top especially in the last 3 days when aches and pains starting creeping up from everywhere. Only thing I'd say is maybe for my peace of mind, it might have been good to take my oxygen levels twice a day. I understand that the lead guide was not too worried about me because he knows his stuff and could tell I would be fine based on my symptoms and since I was the only one, he knew more about how I was feeling on a daily basis compared to people in groups; but seeing those levels too may have made this clear to me as well instead of imagining all sorts in my head as we often do when we are faced with new challenges. But all's well that ends well and since I did get checked a number of times during the trip, I am sure if I had just asked for more checks to calm my mind, the team would definitely be fine with that. So it's just a matter of good communication.
I'm really happy I made it to the top with Almighty Kilimanjaro and look forward to my next Safari adventure with them.

Amazing trip with Almighty Kilimanjaro!
Climbing Kilimanjaro was the adventure of a lifetime thanks to Almighty Kilimanjaro.
Our guide, Tuliza, was incredible - he was friendly and knowledgeable (with over 870 summits and around 20 years experience) and thus comes highly recommended. Do yourself a favor.

Very professional experience
We are moderately experienced hikers with most of that experience being in the American West so hiking at Kilimanjaro's altitude was a different challenge for us. Our guides had our complete confidence the entire trip. We were very comfortable with the crew personally and professionally. It was important that the entire crew, guides and porters, were friendly and always willing to help. It was clear that the crew cared about our experience. They were very attentive and fun to hike with. We would recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro to others. We were very impressed with the crew and the front office

Excellent Kilimanjaro Hiking Experience
An excellent experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro. We did the 7 day Machame route with them in December 2021. They work with your pace and make sure you are comfortable with the services. The tents and food services are basic but very decent. The support team is extremely attentive during the hike and try their best to make things comfortable for you. Rasheedy (Owner) is extremely responsive and will answer any query you may have about the trip. A special shout out to the guides William and Emanuel who went above and beyond to make sure that we succeed in reaching the top. They are possibly the best guides on the route.
Highly Recommended!!!

Amazing climbing with professionals
Our Kilimanjaro expedition was a really great experience. We were lucky to have the best guide ever - Fredy. He and his team converted the trekking into unforgettable journey . They all were very professional and we knew we’ve been in good hands. All the activities, meals, treks were well planned and organized. We had health checks every day and we felt save all the time.
It was a great pleasure to be guided by such passionate and professional people. I would definitely recommend The Almighty Kilimanjaro company as a great local company for Kilimanjaro trekking

Amazing experience, perfect organization.
We had a great plesure to climb Kilimanjaro with Almighty Kilimanjaro and we must admit that it coudnt have been better!!! ❤️
We chose machame route (7 days) and it was fantastic choice - it is very diverse, the nature is beautiful and there is a lot of time for aclimatisation.
Everything was great, from the 1st to the last day! Our team was amazing - guides were awesome, extremely suportive (we wouldnt make it without them!), the chef made us delicious, various food (and portions were huuge!) and porters did an amazing job as well :)
The whole organisation of our excursion was great and there is absolutety nothing we could complain about!
It was one of the best experiences in our lifes,
asante sana Almighty Kilimanjaro, we will never forget it!!! ❤️

Incredible experience!
I have wanted to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro since I first saw in many years ago while leading my first safari to East Africa in the late 90’s (I am a zoologist). When I was thinking of what to do for my 60th birthday (October 2021) I thought…now is the time! I looked for tours that would summit on my birthday and found there were none listed on the plethora of websites hawking trips up the mountain…during my research I found www.almightykilimanjaro.co.tz. They hooked me up and I was all set…
There is very little that would have made this experience any better. I am very pleased with my outcome…I made the summit!
My guide, Joe, hired by Almighty Kilimanjaro, was great. He is an amazing man, committed to the mountain and to making sure his clients get the most out of their experience on Kili…he saw to all of my needs…ate meals with me so I was not alone (I was the only “client” on this specific trek)…educated me about the mountain, its flora and fauna and about his tribe, the Chaga…we had many great conversations and shared many laughs along the way…he made sure I drank plenty of water and rested and re-fueled along the way…on the 7 days I only had a period of about 3 hours where I had a headache and some mild nausea…that went away quickly and I had no other “mountain sickness” symptoms during my climb. I credit this to his encouragement and my pre-trip preparations.
The rest of my team…entourage is a better description…5 porters…a cook and a guide…all for me…were great…
All in all this trip was amazing…the sights are incredible…and to reach the summit was a thrill…I will never forget this experience and would actually consider doing it again…
Almighty Kilimanjaro hired the right guide, porters and cook to see that my experience was great! Further, they were mostly responsive in a timely manner and provided me with good gear. I would recommend them if you are even remotely interested in challenging yourself to make the summit of this amazing mountain!
