Safari and Kilimanjaro
Despite the current corona pandemic, we were able to start our trip to Tanzania. At the airport we were warmly welcomed by our two guides, Freddy and Yithzack. First we went on a one-week safari, we started in Tarangire National Park, drove on to the Serengeti, made a stop at the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara on the way back.
The English of the two guides was very good, we learned a lot about the wildlife, nature, culture and people in Tanzania and even a little bit of Swahili ;-)
After the safari we climbed successfully Kilimanjaro via the Mawenzi route within seven days. It was a unique experience for us to hike through the different vegetation zones of the region.
The two of us had a very experienced and professional crew with porters, a cook and two mountain guides. Great attention was paid to safety and hygiene at all times, which is why we can highly recommend a trip to Tanzania at the moment.

He was very friendly, Happy and highly motivated
We did a Safari during the pandemic and it was the best one we ever had. Asu and Victor made this trip unforgettable. The food was amazing and we have seen nearly every animal which ist possible. So if you need a friendly, motivated and flexible Safaricrew we can recommend you Kilele Climb Tours.

Amazing experience, we were well looked after
We were picked up (and dropped off at the end) from our accomodation in Moshi, and travelled to Tarangire National Park for day 1 and Ngorongoro Crater for day 2. We made stops along the way at some nice galleries and souvenir shops (for use of toilets and food/drink aswell). Our guide (David) was very informative throughout, telling us about the local history, aswell as about the animals we spotted of course! He was friendly and we had a good laugh along the way. We were provided a filling packed lunch for both days and overnight accommodation at a lovely hotel with dinner included. It was an all round amazing experience.

the icing on the cake
My uncle and I booked Kilele Climb via SummitClimb.
We received a warm welcome as soon as we arrived at the airport.
The four-day safari was absolutely breathtaking and very exciting. The driver was super nice and it was always just the three of us in the jeep.
We enjoyed the trekking very much (Swiss people usually love mountains (:
Everything was well organised and we always had wonderful food on the mountain. The summit day was the hardest day of all (12h hiking time) but we were successful.
Many thanks to the safari driver (Asman), the guides (Yitzhack, Frank & Douglas and the crew.
And many thanks to Rebecca for the organisation.

Once in the lifetime
I successfully climbed Mount Meru and Kilimandjaro in September with Freddy from Kilele. Booked through summiclimb. The organization by Kilele in Moshi and Arusha was absolutely perfect - many thanks to Rebecca!
I was lucky to be on the road alone with Freddy and the team, so I could walk my own pace and Freddy gave me great support. The acclimatization by climbing Mount Meru was certainly very helpful. The choice of route with Western Breach and Crater Camp was also spot on. Strenuous but because of that Freddy and I were alone on the roof of Africa in the afternoon of 10.09. It was absolutely incredible. We alone on the summit! Thousand thanks to you, Freddy.
My thanks also go to cook Nicolas, who always conjured up a great meal, and to the whole porter team!
It was a great and wonderful experience.

Journey of an Adventure
Equipment 4/5
Professionalism 5/5
Food 5/5 (ask for Magic Mike)
Tour design 4/5 (good acclimatization)
Personal 5/5 (Michael inspiring as guide)
I got altitude sickness for 6 days during the tour and lay flat one night with diarrhea and vomiting.
The team with their experience and the good food have pampered me within a day.
The ascent evening 22:30 start was indescribable. I felt like giving up 10x, but Michael motivated me and the moment of reaching the top - indescribable.

First time in tanzania and definitely not the last time
We just came back from our trip to Mount Kilimanjaro via Rongai route. It was an unbelievable experience.
Everything was well organized.
Throughout the trekking, the food that was provided exceeded our expectations (high variety of meals, also snacks for the hiking were daily provided). Every morning we were woken up with a cup of coffee in our tent. The whole team made us feel very comfortable and looked after our well-being.
After we reached Gilman’s point I started feeling my limits. Yitzhack didn't hesitate to give me his jacket even though it was terribly cold and windy. What a selflessness gesture!
Reaching Uhuru peak sets you free indeed. All of it would not be possible without Kilele-team, thanks to Yitzhack, Michael, the excellent cook and the rest of the team!
Thank you very much guys!

Superb team that work together to make the experience authentic, personalised and enjoyable.
Amazing experience. We booked the 7 day tour. We were 2 people and joined by one other individual.
10/10 from start to finish.
Communication flawless.
Logistics worked a treat (pick up / drop off from airport etc
Tour itself amazing … so many fantastic features eg
- private toilet (as a woman I really really appreciated this - a sit down toilet steps away from the tent is very useful .. who knew you pee ALL THE TIME at high altitude! It’s not fun in such cold temperatures I tell you!!! But so much easier when it’s steps away rather that having to traipse to the nearest public loo or to find a rock or bush
- delicious and plentiful food (huge and varied breakfast including toast, fruits, pancakes, omelettes, tea / coffee etc then lunch - always a delicious soup first (eg courgette / butternut / cucumber / veggie usual served with something like toast or, my personal favourite, yellow lentil puffs followed by carbs of some kind (potatoes, rice, pasta) and meat (eg chicken or beef) as well as a selection of fresh veggies .. and always followed by fresh fruit.
Honestly, so much food - and catering for all needs eg veggie etc. oh and I forgot - coffee and popcorn as an afternoon snack and goodies for during a hike (eg apple juice / a cake). You definitely won’t go hungry and maybe will even come home with a recipe or two.
- experienced and knowledgeable guides with excellent English willing to share details surrounding history, culture, language, experience, nature) these are guys who know the mountain like the back of their hand (I kid you not - for the summit day I got up there using hands and poles (and painkillers!) whilst they strolled up with their hands in their pocket. Seriously incredible. You are in the best hands. We (my husband and I) both made it up the summit thanks to them.
- friendly, efficient, happy team. Amazing porters who zoom up and down the mountain carrying crazy amounts of goods yet always get there ahead of you and have the whole camp set up before you arrive (your tent, the loo, the eating tent, the cooking tent etc). Seriously impressive especially as they always do it with a smile on their face. Pole pole might be the motto for us but everything they did was quick and efficient… and so appreciated.
- above and beyond attitude - one guy in our group got very sick (altitude is not a nice beast!) and needed to get down. The rescue helicopter could not come due to weather so the team carried him down the mountain on a stretcher to the nearest camp where he could be picked up by ambulance. That’s a full size adult carried over rocky, steep, challenging ground at 4000m altitude for around 4 HOURS. This task was taken up without question and upon their return were still smiling. Nothing short of top class. These guys have my utmost respect.
Absolutely no complaints - 5 star rating. Go with them.
It was great, perfect organisation.

Very Professional and working with full of his hearth
We can highly recommend the Kili climb with Kilele Climb. Everything was very well organised and the team was great. We climbed the Rongai Route and descended via the Marangu Route. We had a day of acclimatisation on Mawenzi. The Kilele Climb team was very well organised and gave us great support with everything. We felt that we were in good hands. Many thanks to Kilele Climb for making this adventure of climbing Kilimanjaro possible for us.
