Unforgettable experience!
Innocent (Arico), Freddy, and Robby were our guides on an 8 day Lemosho trek. They were extremely knowledgeable and attentive to every need. They carefully watched for altitude sickness and helped us successfully reach the summit. Aside from being experienced guides, they also were great people to be around while on the trail and at camp. The food was amazing, and they even had a miracle tea to help one of our members who became sick just before summit day.
Great experience, can't imagine having better guides. Thanks a ton!

Amazing experience with the best crew
The most amazing experience with the best crew. Muntari and Swalehe our guides made us feel happy and safe every day. They spoke excellent English and answered all our questions. During the walks we laughed a lot and they took the time to explain different landmarks/plants and their importance. Compared to other guides we felt we developed a strong friendship with ours and they felt like family by the end. Every evening we had a debrief where they checked on how we were feeling with the altitude and in general. They then planned the next day accordingly. Shabani our chef made us a hot 2 course breakfast, lunch and dinner every day with eggs, chicken, beef, fish and lots of veggies. Amani brought us hot tea in bed every morning, helped us clean our clothes after each hike and filled our water bottles up everyday, he was always kind and thoughtful and went the extra mile! Amani really was the best! Our porters apoli, Franco, umari, juicer, moondi, usman always had our backs and a smile on their faces. One day we lost our expensive watch but Umari found it in the tent! On summit day in addition to our guides Amani, apoli and Shabani came with us for support and we successfully summitee in 5hrs! I can’t recommend the crew and Almighty Kilimanjaro enough! Thank you for everything and we will miss you!

Excellent from start to summit
Almighty kilimanjaro were excellent! Cannot fault them at all! They were thorough in making sure everyone had appropriate kit for the trek and the guides and porters could not do enough to support us on our summit attempt which the whole group succeeded with. I went as a solo traveller and felt totally at ease for the whole trip, before, during and after. A once in a life time experience made by Almighty Kilimanjaro!!

A well-organised safari with a fun and knowledgeable guide and loads of great wildlife
We had a great 2 day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater national parks in Tanzania where we saw a lot of wildlife every close up and almost everything we wanted to see (only the rhinos eluded us). The days were quite long but the time spent in the national parks was amazing and unforgettable and I would definitely recommend the 2 day safari offered by Almighty Kilimanjaro. We were well looked after by William our driver and he definitely knew his wildlife and where to find the more elusive species like leopards, hyenas and lions.

Almighty Kilimanjaro are a fantastic, supportive and professional tour company.
We had a great time climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides and porters were fantastic, so supportive and helpful. Our chef made us three hot meals a day, fueling us for the climb. The tent provided was good and our kit moved from camp to camp by a lovely group of porters.
I highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro as a tour company. We wouldn't have made it to the summit without them.

GO SOLO, GO ALMIGHTY KILIMANJARO
As a solo traveler, I summited Kilimanjaro on July 24, 2024, with a local registered company called Almighty Kilimanjaro, and I couldn't recommend them more. Coming alone to a foreign country (I'm from Spain) can be a little overwhelming, but I always felt very safe from the beginning. They took care of me like I was one of their own.
Choosing a local company is not only cost-effective, often half the price of international companies, but it also means contributing more directly to the local economy (and their pockets). I contacted Almighty Kilimanjaro via their website and then through WhatsApp with the owner Rashid. Everything was clear from the start—we agreed on a price and schedule, and the trip was organized smoothly.
Accommodation:
The Salinero Kilimanjaro Hotel, where I stayed at the beginning and end of the trip, was a gated hotel with excellent security. The staff were very attentive and helpful, making for a great stay. The breakfast buffet was also quite good.
The Hike:
I took the Marangu route (5 days) and reached the summit thanks to the incredible guide, John Damian, and his team—Joseph, Enro, Julius, and the chef, Aalbad. Initially, I was concerned about the elevation since I had never hiked/climbed that high before, but the team was always there to answer my questions and calm my nerves. They checked my oxygen levels and pulse twice a day and ensured I followed all safety procedures.
We had daily briefings about the next day's plans, including the route, weather conditions, clothing, and items to pack. (If you don’t own gear, they conduct a gear check at the beginning of the trip, allowing you to rent necessary items at an affordable price). Always follow your guide's advice; if they suggest using poles, do it—you'll need them later on.
Attention to Detail:
The team's attention to detail was incredible. They were always watching over me. The food was another highlight—Aalbad, the cook, prepared nutritious meals every day, rivaling those from a nice restaurant.
Extra Activities:
If you have extra time before or after the climb, visiting the Materuni Waterfalls and going on the coffee tour there is a must. Located in the last village before Kilimanjaro National Park, you'll learn about the Chaga people and how to make some of the best coffee you've ever tasted.
Final Thoughts:
During my time there, I was treated like family by John, the crew, and the driver, Abduly. I now feel like I have family in Tanzania. For aspiring climbers, get the best value for your money—go local, go with Almighty Kilimanjaro. Asante sana ndugu, tutaonana hivi karibuni (Thank you, brothers, hope i can see you soon).

Exceptional, professional in every aspect
Words cannot express my gratitude and admiration that I have for the Almighty Kilimanjaro team that was responsible for me reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro. This was by far the hardest thing I have ever done as far as overcoming my fears.
Led by Amiry our head guide, this experience was the best it could be. The attention to detail, concern, observancy, communication, humor and skill are unmatched. We also had Thomas , John ,mkude and Raphael as our guides. Almighty works like a machine, and like any, all parts are important. The porters, cooks, waiters, camp setters, water porter, etc. are professional, caring, and always ready to help and lend a hand where needed. All are important and treated as important parts of this operation.
Altitude (Above the rest)
I have to say a special thank you to Amiry and John who assisted me on the really challenging parts (for me) - going downhill and going near edges and tricky footwork, especially on the Baranco Wall and coming down from the summit. I had to overcome alot of fear. Their patience and flexibility were unwaivering. Also, during the summit night/day, I had a porter, Suma - (iron man) who held my backpack, reminded me to drink water, and was there when I needed support getting up and down the mountain. All were angels in my book.
Aptitude and Attitude (Exemplary)
In addition to all of the hard skills or aptitude that the Almighty kilimanjaro team has to have including navigating Kilimanjaro, administering health checks, assessing illnesses, guiding people of all ages and abilities, managing timing of the daily hikes based on the speed of participants, insuring the safety of all, the attributes that set them apart are their attitude and people skills. Communication, patience, honesty, integrity, calmness, flexibility and humor - all exemplary attributes I experienced.
I would not hesitate to recommend this crew to anyone...so blessed and lucky to have made this trek and reaching the ultimate summit, with them.

Professional, friendly and genuinely great people!
Amazing experience! I can’t recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro enough if you’re looking to book your Kilimanjaro trek.
We chose to do the 6 day Machame route and felt like the tempo and workload was very manageable (we are both 23 and fairly fit).
We loved that each day was different in terms of scenery, terrain and views. Our personal favourites were day 2 where we got amazing views of Mount Meru in the distance throughout the day and an epic sunset over the peak at night and obviously the sunrise views from the summit on day 5.
The team at Almighty Kilimanjaro really make the trip amazing though! Our group leader, Innocent, was an excellent motivator and genuinely a great guy to be around. He made us all feel very safe throughout the trek and on nights 2,3 and 4 we got our oxygen levels and heart rates checked by him and also a check list on other potential symptoms of altitude sickness.
Freddie was our second guide who was also very friendly, helpful and caring. These two were very professional and good at their jobs.
We would like to mention Simon who seemed to be a Jack-of-all-trades. Throughout the trek he began as a porter, before helping the chef in the evenings. Once our group spilt into the people doing 6 days and the others 7 days, Simon became a guide alongside Innocent for the final push to the summit. Without both of their positive attitudes and help on the last push, I’m not convinced we would have made it! On the last evening Simon helped manage the camp and served us our meals etc too. He was an amazing guy.
We’d also like to mention the chef, Emmanuel and sever Yusto. The food was very impressive each day considering the circumstances and the equipment they had to work with. We had lovely hot meals every day.
With Yusto’s impeccable professionalism, politeness and helpfulness he could work in a 5 star restaurant in the UK, we really felt like we were treated like royalty!
Lastly, we can’t forget about the amazing porters, the graft they put in is nothing short of incredible! The speed they ascend and descend to ensure we got good spots at the campsite was admirable and they were all so friendly too.
We can’t recommend this trip and company enough. Great value for money, communication before hand was good and the hotel that was provided either side of the trek was beautiful. Many companies who do this trip are owned by people from the other side of the world. However, Almighty Kilimanjaro is owned and managed by Tanzanians.
