Excellent
We were 7people of groups: me, guide, porter and chef.
At every camp, chef made me good meals and guide took care of me every time.
Porter can bring heavy staffs and prepared warm tent at every camp
And I strongly recommend you to order to bring own toilet in the tour

Excellent choice of company to guide you up Kilimanjaro
I finished the 8-day Lemosho route yesterday. What an experience! I booked with Almighty Kilimanjaro, who were an excellent choice indeed. Unfortunately three of the people expected to come on the trip were unable to, so we had the luxury of it being three of us - me and my friend, and another guy who had booked on his own. We very quickly made lifelong friendships as we battled through the hiking!
Robert, Liberat (and trainee Colin) were extremely knowledgeable about the route, the flora and fauna, the mountain, the history and the risks of climbing the tallest point in Africa. Their many combined years of experience as porters and then guides on Kilimanjaro was obvious.
The porters were absolutely amazing. Every time we left a camp we would see them speeding past us half way through the day, readying the next camp and preparing for our arrival. When we got there we were always welcomed with smiles and congratulations, a drink and a sit down. We were ‘upsold’ a portable toilet which, quite frankly, was money extremely well spent, with the public ‘long drops’ becoming more disgusting the higher up the mountain we went!!!
Food was amazing. I don’t know how Chef Emil did it (he’s been doing it for 30 years!), but every meal was tasty, nutritious and set us up for the next hike.
The first 6 days were hard, but manageable. The team ensured we got out of camp early so we got the best of the weather - often the mountain clouded over at 10am and rained at 1pm, but we were always at the best place at the right time - and safely in our tents when the deluge started!!!
Hike from base camp to the top was the toughest thing I have ever done. 6 hours of almost non-stop trudging up at steep incline, but with nutritionally rich food in our bellies and guides encouraging us to push ourselves to our limits (but no further) all three of us made it to the top and I will forever be grateful for their support, guidance and encouragement.
Off the mountain: transfers to and from the airport were seamless, the hotel we stayed in was great and the team were even able to rapidly sort out our missing bags (they didn’t make our flight but arrived at JRO about 6 hours later!).
All in all, I am really pleased that we chose Almighty Kilimanjaro and I would recommend them to anyone who was thinking about this trip.

A once in a life trip. It was made by the team and Robert as our lead guide.
One of the best experiences of my life.
I did the 8 day Lemosho route with Almighty Kilimanjaro. They were well organised from the start and I felt very safe in their hands throughout the trip.
Our lead guide Robert, and his team, made the trip for us. I highly recommended asking for Robert. His knowledge of the mountain is unmatched and it meant that we benefitted from incredible views / moments that others did not due to his understanding of the weather patterns.
I went solo (I’m 35) and joined two others (45) to make a group of 3. That was perfect for what I wanted, it had a more relaxed vibe and we were able to set a great pace throughout the trip. It also meant that we felt strong for the summit day and had acclimatised well.
Led by Robert and Liberat, we were able to time the summit push to perfection, getting to the top for sunrise.
It was an experience like none other 🌅
Other points to note, the food was great considering, you can borrow anything you need from the team and everyone from the porters to the cook made an effort to make us feel welcome. I could not recommend this team more!!
Pole Pole!
P.S. ask Robert about how he took Cheryl Cole and Garry Barlow and the comic relief team up Kili

Couldn’t have asked for a better team
I had the best week with John and his crew this week climbing mt Kilimanjaro. Without the whole team, it wouldn’t have been possible. They were all very friendly and so caring. Always giving you what you need, lots of food, water, hot water for washing, hot water for tea coffee etc. they really are the best team I could’ve asked for, especially doing it solo. The summit climb is an incredibly challenging experience and John made this very do able for me I cannot thank him enough. The food they cook you is amazing, even on a mountain he can make top food, even for a picky eater! The porters make such an effort in getting your tent and gear to the next camp asap even though they must’ve been knackered so I cannot thank them enough. Again, thank you guys so much for helping me achieve this goal.

Kilimanjaro trek and safari organisation
Almighty was excellent in organisation of the trip. The climb was performed by themselves while the Safari was outsourced to a different company. Excellent performance although you have to bring some flexibility with in respect of the hotel choice on Safari, which was changed. I also tried to upgrade from a tented accommodation to a lodge during the trip and was a lonely traveller in that respect and it seemed that my days were about 1.5 hours longer than the others of the group. We had 2 delays, one due to breakdown of a car and the another one due to stuck in the mud. All of those were handled process by the driver and very solution oriented.

They sorted everything for a perfect trip
Joseph and the team were incredible start to finish! He knew exactly when to push me and when to rein me in so that we could get to the summit! It was an absolutely amazing experience and would recommend to anybody who is thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro!
perfectly recomendable
I did the Lemosho Route in 8 days and everything worked out perfectly with Ladi as a guide. No problem whatsoever.
I booked directly through the internet with Almighty and got all the necessary information almost immediately.
Pick up from the airport and the first night in Moshi where a good start of what was yet to come.
Lemosho turned out to be a beautiful hike and I was glad, I had chosen it.
Even so I had booked group tour, I was the only one with Ladi as my excellent guide, Joachim the cook, who did a great job and four porters.
All were most helpful. Being alone with my guide turned out to be ideal, because we were free to go at our preferred speed and itinerary.
We made the summit with no problem at all, but it was very cold and it advisable to bring enough layers. Base layer Marino was perfect for me.
Only my hands were cold..... All in all a great experience with my new African rafiki (friends).
It was a bit of an risk to book directly in Tansania and not go through a Swiss travel agency but everything worked Hakuna Matata.

Kili climb!
I don’t know where to start! I had the best trip with almighty and my guide John! I was so well looked after that I even had pizza at 4720m high!
From start to finish the team took care of me so so well and when I needed a push to keep going I got exactly the right motivation!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. No words for their kindness and expert knowledge!

Trip of a lifetime, made possible by Almighty Kilimanjaro
This was a fantastic trek. I was a solo traveller who was looked after by 7 crew lead by Muntari (head guide), Shabany (Chef) and Amany (my butler). I also hired my own toilet which was carried and cleaned by Nickson. The crew made this journey effortless for me. Shabany and Amany also accompanied Muntari and me to the summit. They truly went out of their way to make sure I achieved my goal of reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro!

Excellent! Highly recommended to hike Kilimanjaro
The best tour company to book for a Kilimanjaro hike. It was well organized and the company was really helpful in updating us from time to time. We were picked up from the airport and gave us orientation on the day. Swalehe's (lead guide) team are the best! Shukuru (Asst. guide) was also knowledgeable about the Kilimanjaro and other about Tanzania, making our hike really entertaining and engaging. The team prioritizes your safety and dreams to reach the roof of Africa!! Our cook Dennis prepared really well, healthy and delicious dishes. Charles, our attendant makes sure we have all our needs and ensures we are fed well and entertained. We took the Marangu route for 6 days and it was the best experience of our life. Also, shout out to all the porters (Musa, Sagati, David, Salem, Turuki, Rider and Chisano - hope I got it all spelled right) who make this hike very possible and memorable, they're a really strong and very important part of the team. My friends made it on top! We have also seen a lot of wildlife and unique plants along the way
