5 stars!
Zanzi Trekking exceeded our expectations in every way. Justin and Honest made sure to have briefing sessions with us before each of our treks to Mt Meru and Kili. They checked our gear and gave us a thorough view of what our schedule would be like. Every part of the experience was better than I could have imagined. The food was amazing, and it’s all even more impressive considering that the chef, Dastan, and porters can bring all that delicious food up to 4500 meters elevation for us! Our team of porters (Calvin, Dominick, Lazaro, Matayo, Preygod, Elisha, and Tumani) were amazing and attentive to all our needs. Calvin provided excellent service, helping us to wake up in the morning and serving us meals, tea, snacks etc. Dominick and Lazaro accompanied us to the summits and were always there to make sure we had all the help we needed to ensure we got to the top! Last but not least, our guides were absolutely amazing. Justin, our main guide for Meru and Kili was so knowledgable and encouraging. He always was there to make sure we were happy, healthy, and equipped to make it to each summit. David was our assistant guide for Kili, and his good attitude and encouragement was very welcome. Getting to the summit of these mountains is no easy task, but this team made it so much more possible for us.

Great climb on Mount Kilimanjaro
We climbed the Kilimanjaro and it was great. There will be coming up many unexpected things and with our great guides Isack and Jumanee and their flexibility and experience we managed every challenge perfectly, also the manager Honest was very helpful for everything before and after the climb itself!

Fantastic experience!!!
It was the most amazing experience ever! The whole Zanzi trekking team is fantastic, Honest followed us from our first day in Tanzania, he came to our hotel to explain everything about the Safari we were going to do and at the end of the days he came back to toast with us to this fantastic experience.
I was very skeptical at the beginning because a friend of mine had had a bad experience (scam) with another companion but they were special, they reassured me and helped me with the whole organization of the trip right from the start. Very helpful and kind.
The lodges they booked for the nights in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro are truly spectacular.
I really recommend their community for your Safari or Kilimanjaro climb

Zanzi shows Great Personal Care and Attention to Detail and Personal Care
As part of my last minute plan to do a Kilimanjaro hike & African Safari I received 5 quotes. Zanzi was the most competive quote. The good news is I definitely got very good bang for my buck for the hike & safari, plus I was outfitted, at a very reasonable cost, for extra clothing at a hire shop. The 6 day Lemosho hike was great. Among the highlights were the scenary & experience of course. Plus the care and attention to detail by my guide George, to my fitness, safety and health, and ultimately I'm happy to say- my successful summit. (Not bad for a 56 year old that is an occasional exerciser back home...). The rest of the team were friendly, welcoming & finely tuned to their roles, along with showing a real sense of camaraderie & fun together. Honest is the boss behind the scenes. He was in regular contact before the hike & safari, & afterwards too... In summary book with these guys!! Once you successfully summit and complete the hike, and safari should you choose, you'll be very happy you did!!

The operator was well organised
I recently climbed Kilimanjaro with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, and I can't recommend them enough! The main guide, August, was exceptional—knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about the mountain. He spotted all the wild animals in the rainforest at the start of Lemosho. The entire experience was well-organized, and the team made every step enjoyable. If you're looking to conquer Kilimanjaro, Zanzi Trekking and Safaris is the way to go.

Friendly crew - reliable tour operator
We went climbing Kilimanjaro on the 7-day Lemosho route with Zanzi Trekking and had a successful climb to the summit. We were happy to find that Zanzi Trekking had a budget option which allowed us to save a decent amount of money compared to other companies we looked at, while at the same time including all the necessary elements for a comfortable Kili climb. Even though we booked the trip last minute, there was no issue. Booking was easy: we made an international bank transfer and they confirmed the trip upon seeing the proof of payment. Zanzi Trekking were flexible and fast at responding. As a bonus, they threw in a couple of sleeping mats at no charge – thank you!
Justin, our main guide, was very friendly and attentive to our needs. It was clear he had our best interest at heart and wanted us to have a good experience. We were also accompanied by Lazaro, our assistant guide, a true Kilimanjaro legend who had been climbing the mountain since 1981. Together they made a very good team. Justin was great at telling stories about his many years climbing Kili and very knowledgeable about the mountain. Lazaro had an infectious positive attitude and showed great patience with us when we needed time to rest, put on an extra layer of clothes, or take pictures.
Our cook, Dastan, made some hearty and tasty dishes to keep our energy levels high during the climb. He also made sure we had something fresh (fruit/vegetables) at every meal - even on the last days on the mountain. Our porters, Kelvin, Pius, Elimokozi, Dominik, Mathew and Shedi (Shedrak), did their absolute best to keep our stuff dry even when pitching the tent in the rain. They seemed to always be in a good mood.
All in all, we had a great experience climbing Kilimanjaro with Zanzi Trekking.

Very helpful and responsive by Whatsapp
4x Australians booked with Honest (owner) who was very helpful in answering all of our questions vis WhatsApp prior to our trip. We had a great 3 days with Ngorongoro Crater being the highlight. We would happily recommend them for your trip.
