A once in a life trip. It was made by the team and Robert as our lead guide.
One of the best experiences of my life.
I did the 8 day Lemosho route with Almighty Kilimanjaro. They were well organised from the start and I felt very safe in their hands throughout the trip.
Our lead guide Robert, and his team, made the trip for us. I highly recommended asking for Robert. His knowledge of the mountain is unmatched and it meant that we benefitted from incredible views / moments that others did not due to his understanding of the weather patterns.
I went solo (I’m 35) and joined two others (45) to make a group of 3. That was perfect for what I wanted, it had a more relaxed vibe and we were able to set a great pace throughout the trip. It also meant that we felt strong for the summit day and had acclimatised well.
Led by Robert and Liberat, we were able to time the summit push to perfection, getting to the top for sunrise.
It was an experience like none other 🌅
Other points to note, the food was great considering, you can borrow anything you need from the team and everyone from the porters to the cook made an effort to make us feel welcome. I could not recommend this team more!!
Pole Pole!
P.S. ask Robert about how he took Cheryl Cole and Garry Barlow and the comic relief team up Kili

stunning landscapes, exceptional guides, and seamless organization
The trip is amazing! Albert and Chesi are helpful. Our guide Albert took us to see many kinds of wild animals including lions, elephants, cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, etc. He also introduced the habits and characteristics of these animals to us so that we could understand them better. The itinerary was well arranged and we had plenty of rest time and viewing time. Thank you very much. Albert is also an excellent driver. Although the traffic is complicated and changeable, he can deal with it skillfully and avoid the potholes on the road. Thanks to our travel planner Chesi for providing us with a perfect itinerary and her suggestions are very pertinent.

6 Days Budget Safari felt quite luxurious with very rich experiences.
What they promised, they delivered. From the time we got picked up to drop off after 6 days.
We saw all Big Five (but that’s by luck) and many more animals that wowed us throughout our tour. Lodges and campsites were adequate to say the list and our guide/driver Simon took care of us every step of the way. It was his knowledge and experience that gave us opportunity to see so many amazing animals and experience the time of our lives. My buddy and I could not be happier with this amazing tour.
Highly recommend.

Safari Talk Tours provided an incredible safari with top-notch service and unforgettable moments!
In early 2020, just before the pandemic hit, we visited Kenya and were fortunate enough to meet Dan, our guide. We immediately had a fantastic experience with him. Dan is a genuinely kind person, with an impressive knowledge of the country and its wildlife, something that really stood out to us. Every year since, he’s sent us a “Happy New Year” message, which kept him in our thoughts. So, last year, when we decided to return to Kenya in October 2024, we knew we had to go with Dan again.
Four years later, this time with our two kids, ages 8 and 3, Dan was still as amazing as we remembered. He even arranged a car seat for our youngest how thoughtful is that? We also invited my Parents-laws along, who had never traveled beyond France before (which isn’t a bad thing, of course!), but they were absolutely blown away by the experience. My father-in-law hit it off with Dan right away, and we all had such a great time together.
Dan went above and beyond to make sure we saw the best wildlife. It often felt like we were the only ones in the park because Dan had a knack for avoiding the crowds. At one point, we were surrounded by a herd of elephants, including a baby, with a lion on the other side just us, no other cars around! We even spotted a cheetah with four adorable cubs! I have amazing photos from my phone, but the cheetah pictures were taken with our camera, as I couldn't upload them directly from my phone.
I want to give a huge thank you to Dan for his outstanding hospitality. He personally picks you up at Nairobi Airport, holding a sign with your name, which is such a nice touch! After the safari, he also arranged to pick us up from Diani Beach and took us to the train station for our return to Nairobi. His friendly nature and willingness to help made our experience even better!
If you're planning a trip to Kenya and want an incredible experience with top-notch accommodations (with pools, of course!), I can’t recommend Safari Talk enough. Dan truly made our safari unforgettable!
Who knows, perhaps we’ll make it a 4-year tradition! In four years, Dan might even meet my parents, and my daughter will be 7 and my son will be 13. What an adventure that could be!

Excellent choice of company to guide you up Kilimanjaro
I finished the 8-day Lemosho route yesterday. What an experience! I booked with Almighty Kilimanjaro, who were an excellent choice indeed. Unfortunately three of the people expected to come on the trip were unable to, so we had the luxury of it being three of us - me and my friend, and another guy who had booked on his own. We very quickly made lifelong friendships as we battled through the hiking!
Robert, Liberat (and trainee Colin) were extremely knowledgeable about the route, the flora and fauna, the mountain, the history and the risks of climbing the tallest point in Africa. Their many combined years of experience as porters and then guides on Kilimanjaro was obvious.
The porters were absolutely amazing. Every time we left a camp we would see them speeding past us half way through the day, readying the next camp and preparing for our arrival. When we got there we were always welcomed with smiles and congratulations, a drink and a sit down. We were ‘upsold’ a portable toilet which, quite frankly, was money extremely well spent, with the public ‘long drops’ becoming more disgusting the higher up the mountain we went!!!
Food was amazing. I don’t know how Chef Emil did it (he’s been doing it for 30 years!), but every meal was tasty, nutritious and set us up for the next hike.
The first 6 days were hard, but manageable. The team ensured we got out of camp early so we got the best of the weather - often the mountain clouded over at 10am and rained at 1pm, but we were always at the best place at the right time - and safely in our tents when the deluge started!!!
Hike from base camp to the top was the toughest thing I have ever done. 6 hours of almost non-stop trudging up at steep incline, but with nutritionally rich food in our bellies and guides encouraging us to push ourselves to our limits (but no further) all three of us made it to the top and I will forever be grateful for their support, guidance and encouragement.
Off the mountain: transfers to and from the airport were seamless, the hotel we stayed in was great and the team were even able to rapidly sort out our missing bags (they didn’t make our flight but arrived at JRO about 6 hours later!).
All in all, I am really pleased that we chose Almighty Kilimanjaro and I would recommend them to anyone who was thinking about this trip.

Incredible hiking adventure with wonderful people
We had an incredible experience hiking the Lemosho route with kiliclimb Africa safaris. I can’t praise all of the staff highly enough. Starting with the office team that answered our many questions in the lead up to the hike. Then we had a very thorough briefing session where they checked all of our gear the day before our hike started to make sure we had everything we needed! Then came the fun part! It felt like a 5 star hiking experience as our camp was set up daily by the porters and our guides made sure to keep us entertained with stories and information about the surrounding area, animals and plants. Our chef, Chaz, was incredible as he catered to our vegetarian diet and cooked delicious food. An unexpected highlight was the pizza he cooked fresh on the mountain! Another thing that really set kiliclimb apart was that they set up a table for tea and snacks every day at the halfway point of our hike. It was always at a beautiful viewpoint and was such a luxury! The hike itself was incredible and our guides were always encouraging us, particularly on summit day, where they helped us achieve a dream of getting to the top of Africa. We always felt like we were being well looked after and it was obvious that safety was the number one priority of the entire team as we made our way to the top. Lastly, they were also very competitively priced and we felt as though we got very good value for our money!

Unbelievable experience during the whole Safari and we have the best Guide Didas
Our trip was from Nairobi to Amboseli. We stayed in Amboseli National Park for two nights. We saw the snow-capped top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the trees and elephants under the snow-capped mountains. The food at Kibo Safari Camp was very good. We could see the snow-capped mountains as soon as we opened the door of the tent we stayed in.
We crossed Amboseli to the Kenya-Tanzania border, and then passed the checkpoint to Tarangire. We did Night Safari and Walking Safari, which were both very special experiences.
From Tarangire to Ngorongoro, we stayed at Ngorongoro Farm House in Karatu for rest. In Ngorongoro, we saw a lot of zebras, and then on the way to Serengeti, we saw a large number of wildebeests migrating. We also saw Leopard here, which was the most difficult to find and the most surprising. After staying in Serengeti for two nights, we went to Ndutu for two nights. During these four nights, we stayed in a tent house in the center of the grassland, and fell asleep at night accompanied by the roar of lions.
On the last day, we returned to Arusha and went to the supermarket and market to buy souvenirs. We stayed at Arusha Planet Lodge, which provided great service and meals.
Whistling provided great service, and the owner Alex tried his best to meet our requirements, including enough water in the car, bean bags for the camera, and an extra telescope. Didas, our guide in Tanzania, was very dedicated and experienced. We returned to the camp almost after 18:00 every day. He was very good at finding animals, and took us to see the Big Five in Africa. He often found a great angle to observe animals, and waited patiently while we watched the animals. He also supplemented a lot of animal-related knowledge, and sometimes made jokes with dry humor. He was a very interesting guide.
The entire African trip was a surprise beyond our expectations. We saw everything we wanted to see and had a very good experience.
