Incredible trekking adventure to Kilimanjaro and safari across Tanzania thanks to this local company
Incredible adventure and experience thanks to Zanzi Trekking and Safaris. We contacted them to do the Kilimanjaro trek via the Machame route and also to go on a safari. It's the perfect choice if you want to support a genuine local company.
For the trekking, we couldn't have asked for a better team to achieve it. Justin was our guide, an amazing person with deep cultural knowledge, great conversation skills, and who made the trek more enjoyable. His mountain experience was crucial; without him and his assistant Nestory, we couldn't have reached the summit, as they understand altitude needs perfectly and provide the necessary advice to keep going and ensure safety if needed.
The adventure was a team effort. Besides the guides, Steven the chef provided everything we needed to stay energized, and the meals were delicious. Every time we arrived at camp, everything was prepared thanks to the porters (kilifighters) Dominic, Peter, Lazaro, Kelvin, Kelvin II, and Dula. They took care of everything, allowing us to focus on the experience.
It's not just a trekking experience but also an opportunity to meet locals and learn about their lives, enriching culturally and personally throughout the journey.
We also enjoyed a private safari, tailored to our preferences and requests. We visited the main national parks, guided by Ruben in a safari jeep with a open roof for perfect wildlife viewing. Ruben was an excellent guide, ensuring our safety, communicating with other drivers to spot every animal. It was unforgettable. Abu, the chef, accompanied us during our three days camping in the Serengeti.
In summary, Zanzi Trekking and Safaris is a fantastic option if you're looking to climb Kilimanjaro and experience a safari in Tanzania, all while supporting a local business and its workers and families. Thanks to Honest, the owner, for organizing this unforgettable journey.

Epic Adventure on Kilimanjaro with Justin as a guide and His Incredible Team
If you're dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro, look no further than Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, with Justin as a guide and his exceptional team! My recent trek was nothing short of extraordinary, filled with breathtaking views, challenging hikes, and unforgettable camaraderie.
From the moment we met Justin, it was clear we were in the best hands. His passion for the mountain and deep knowledge of the terrain shone through every briefing and step we took. Justin's infectious enthusiasm kept our spirits high, even when the altitude challenged us.
The team was phenomenal. Every guide, porter, and cook contributed to making this journey special. Their support, encouragement, and seamless teamwork were inspiring. The food was incredible too, how they managed to create such delicious meals on the mountain remains a mystery!🤤
Each day brought new landscapes and adventures. From the lush rainforests to the stark beauty of the alpine desert, the ever-changing scenery kept us captivated. Summit night was the ultimate test of endurance and willpower. But with Justin's guidance and the team's unwavering support, we reached Uhuru Peak at sunrise, a moment of pure triumph and awe.🗻💓
If you're looking for the best Kilimanjaro experience, Justin and his team are unparalleled. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care turned a challenging trek into an epic adventure. Highly recommend this incredible team for anyone ready to take on the Roof of Africa!🇹🇿😉

The best！The most professional, caring and fantastic! If you missed it, I will cry!
Climbing with Alex, the team and the company is the wisest decision I made for my tour of Africa.Without their help, I think my dream could not come true so fast.
I lack of exercise and I always think I am a weak girl.But my guide Alex never gives up me and continuously encourages me, then we made it to the peak. Every friends including me couldn’t believe it! I think the reason is mainly Alex. He is such more professional than the other guides I met along the way, he will assess your capabilities and choose the way most suitable to you including using his 17 years climbing experience to smoothly go through the mountain, finding a comfortable poly poly pace you need to catch up but you don’t need to rush, ensuring your safety when it’s slippery or steep, assessing your body all the time, knowing where you are exactly every time you want to know, checking your blood oxygen level every morning and night, giving helpful medicine and cloth advice and renewing your climbing plan based on your performance. And he is so caring to make sure you eat enough and help you take your day pack when you feel exhausted.Besides, he could speak fluent English and Chinese. You could fully trust him and he will help you as much as he can. I couldn’t believe the other guides could provide more than him.（and I think everyone knows him)
And the chief Eric will ask your preference before climbing and prepare everything . Everyday the meal is delicious even till the last day. I enjoy it and I ate a lot under the condition that I have a Chinese stomach. You will have hot tea or ginger water when you want or feel sick. And have popcorn as snacks.
And every morning Jonny will wake me up gently and have already prepared a cup of hot tea which is really helpful! And he is so warmhearted to meet your needs.
The whole team is so supportive. On the summit day, hot water is still provided along the way. After I reach the peak, I was descending to the campsite. On the half way, I saw they have already arrived there to congratulate me! I feel so warm after one night’s climbing.
And the company is also very supportive. Alone the whole 7 days, Honest continues trying to contact me to make sure i feel great and have no worries.
The whole process is so fantastic and I treat the whole team as my family. I 101% recommend the team to all kinds of people who want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro no matter you are good at climbing or you never climb before and have no confidence, no matter you travel with your friends or alone like me, no matter you want to climb to the peak or just appreciate the view along the way, no matter you are budgeted (worth every penny )or want some luxury! This is your best choice(after I ask some other people’s ’ experience and feelings, I got the conclusion.)
Finally, thank you for sharing the journey with me and let me have an unforgettable memory! Remember to miss me!

Wonderful experience with the professional team!
Tour to Kilimanjaro with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris was one of the best experience I’ve ever done. I contacted to the company at very last minute, but they kindly accepted me and communication with them was super smooth.
My guide was an expert with more than 15 years experience at Kilimanjaro. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always cared me both physically and mentally. I reached the top thanks for him and his team. The view, especially sunrise from the roof of Africa was unforgettable!!
I highly recommend to travel with them when you visit the mountain!

Unforgettable Experience
Me, 27, female solo traveller, did a 8-days Kilimanjaro Tour with Zanzibar Trekking and Safaris. The team was amazing, always had a smile on their faces even though they carried all the heavy stuff. You can’t imagine how much and especially yummy food you will get on the way to the summit! Special thanks to my guide Justin who answered all of my 61948107 questions about the Tanzanian culture and wildlife.
Again, thank you very much for this unforgettable experience that I will never forget!

Solo Female Traveler - Zanzi Trekking was the BEST Choice!
I had the best experience with this tour company. They safely got me to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro plus arranged all of other travel. They provided an excellent safari experience!! The best I’ve had, and I’ve been through Tsavo and as well Kruger! I saw everything I wanted to see. I was traveling solo and they made me feel like family. I felt so safe!! I am so grateful for the experience and owe it all to Zanzi Trekking!!

A fantastic Kilimanjaro trip
My husband and I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in July 2022.
Our guide was Honest, the owner of Zanzi Trekking and Safaris.
We felt like we were in good hands from the first moment. Honest and his team were all very nice, open and helpful people.
Honest was an experienced and mindful guide who paid attention to all details (pace, food, fatigue, etc.). You can talk to him about many topics and so the time goes by very quickly.
In the end we also managed to reach the Uhuru peak.
Everything was very well organized and so far we only have good memories of this fantastic trip.
We therefore recommend Zanzi and the whole team for Kilimanjaro trips.
