Fantastic from start to finish
I climbed Kilimanjaro in 2014 as part of a larger group to raise money for charity. It was an exciting, but daunting experience because the mountain is huge! I needn't have worried, I was in good hands.
These guides have climbed this mountains numerous times but each time they treat the mountain with the respect it deserves, and they expect others to do the same. The mountain in sacred. Your safety is paramount to them, and they also want you to enjoy it! They would sing to us when we reached our camp, on our way up the mountain, and even at the top. I can still hear "Hakuna Matata" as I type and I can't help but smile. There were times when I thought I couldn't make it but they made sure I did and you absolutely couldn't have done it without them. The words "Pole Pole" stay with me forever and I still use them now when I do treks anywhere in the world.
It was incredible to see the team taking all the equipment up ahead of us and then seeing the camps all set up on arrival. The food was incredible! Who'd have thought you would have fried chicken at the top of a mountain! Their knowledge of the mountain is wonderful. I loved listening to their stories about the plants, animals and their own lifestyles. It was very humbling.
I was unfortunate enough to suffer with altitude sickness, and the guides were so supportive. Some of them had limited English and others were very good, however, their care was just as brilliant regardless. They had to force me to eat and drink, literally, but I knew they were right. On summit night, I needed to be rushed off the mountain because I fell poorly. It was like a scene out of roadrunner, all that was missing was the "beep beep". Two of the guides held me under each arm and literally ran down the scree with me to base camp. It was scary and very funny at the same time. My wellbeing was all that mattered to them and I am so grateful to them for all their support.
Overall this was a fantastic experience and I would not hesitate in recommending their services to anyone. I would like to thank Moses and the whole team for their unwavering support, but most of all, for getting me up and down that incredible mountain safely.

Moses Yohanes is an excellent Kilimanjaro guide
My wife and I successfully climbed Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) in 2021 with Moses Yohanes as our chief guide, and highly recommend him.
He, and the rest of the crew, did everything they were supposed to do, and that you expect them to do, but they also did a lot of other - sometimes small, but nonetheless very important stuff - that went above and beyond, and showed us that they have a lot of experience with this.
Just as an example, after one or two days, two of the Porters waited for us 15 minutes before camp, and carried our daypacks the last bit. It sounds like a ridiculously small thing, but seeing them there in the distance, and knowing that another days trek was almost over, gave us a big boost.
And every day, when the porters walked past us with all the heavy equipment, they were chatting, smiling, laughing and joking (even while climbing Baranco Wall) which forced us to not feel sorry for ourselves when we were tired and our small daypacks felt heavy.
Most important was our two guides, Moses (Chief) and Aloyce (Assistant), who we spent a lot of time with. Both on the trek, telling us about the mountain, the flora, the fauna, and in camp at night telling us about life, history, culture, politics of Tanzania.
Moses was very serious about the preparations (briefing, equipment, clothing etc) which made us feel safe, and Aloyce was whistling/singing and taking small dance-steps while trekking, which made the long hours of walking a lot more enjoyable.
I was amazed at how much physical strength but also mental power our guides had. They were constantly observing us closely, monitoring our pace, reminding us to sip water, warning about slippery paths, rocks you could hit your head/knee on, etc. And if our foot slipped, a hand was quickly there to support.
We only had to concentrate on breathing and walking, and admiring the beautiful scenery.
It is so amazing up there, with the glacier, the crater, the ice, the view below and over to Mt Meru. I am so happy we had time to see and enjoy it all, as we slowly made our way to the peak, while Moses captured the incredible moment for us on video with my mobile.
We hope a lot more climbers will benefit from having Moses to guide them.
Lifechanging experience because of Kiliclimb Africa safaris
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Kiliclimb Africa safaris. Moses and the entire team of assistant guides, porters and chef, were so encouraging, positive, fun, knowledgeable. The accommodations were amazing for being on a mountain and they made it as comfortable as possible for us (such as warm pouches to keep in our sleeping bag with us on colder nights) and the food was so impressive and delicious every meal. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Best Guide Ever!
We had the best experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and that was due to Moses! It was such a beautiful trip, everything was handled well for us, and we had great communication. Moses as our guide helped us every step of the way, made sure we were doing well, and was so positive and uplifting. We had some special needs due to health concerns, and Moses made sure our needs were met. He made the whole climb so fun! I wouldn’t have made it to the top without him. Definitely good value for money, very reliable, and overall a great experience. I’m so thankful to Moses and the whole crew that we got to have this incredible, once it a lifetime memory!

Moses is kind, intelligent, and inspiring. He kept our spirits up the whole trip!
Our experience with Moses and the crew was amazing. They were all so kind, and gave us all the comforts we possibly could've had while climbing Kili. Moses kept us educated on how to take care of our bodies during the climb, and kept us entertained while on the trail. He quickly became a close friend to all of us, and made the trip as enjoyable as possible. The team was also incredible, they always made us feel welcome and worked extremely hard preparing the expedition for us. I couldn't imagine a better company to do a Kilimanjaro experience with. 100% recommend!
He is a such a great person that was helping me and my friends in every moment with all the things
It’s a one time experience that consists of effort and lots of exercise
