A Kilimanjaro hike without seing the mountain.

Kinga_M, Jan 2026
To begin with our pick up was not well organised. The description said the pick up could be from any hotel in Moshi but the agent made us go to another hotel (we had to pay extra for the transfer) and didn't even inform the tour operator where we would come. We were also not informed about the pick up time, but okay, we contacted the operator ourselves. When the guide and the driver arrived, they were surprised to find out that we couldn't get the pick up from our hotel, they said it would be absolutely possible. Also, although it says in the description that mineral water will be provided, it wasn't made clear that we should bring our own non-plastic bottles. The guide told us about only at the pick up but since we were not in our hotel, we couldn't go back to take our bottles. We had to rent bottles at thr entry to the park for additional $20, really? You should also bring a raincoat, which we were informed about when it was already too late - again, we could rent it for extra money at the entrance. But most importantly, although it's called a Kilimanjaro hike, you will not get to see the mountain at all. It's just a walk in the forest of the national park, without any views on Kili whatsoever. Sorry, not worth the money and not want we expected.

Great Guides, Personal Care

The guide Elly was working with a trainee. Both really knew their stuff and kept us motivated. They pointed out a lot of plants and history of the mountain....somebody did the whole thing up and down in 6 hours 24 minutes...we took 2.5 hours to the first camp. The lunch was well thought out with a lot of protein and some good carbs to help recover from the hike up.

Well organised hike to the base camp of Kili

A well organized hike to the base camp of Kili. We saw a lot of animals on the way. The guide was very professional.

Our guide was nice and motivating when needed. It would have been helpful to know ahead of time that we each needed to have a backpack large enough to hold 1.5L of water and the box for lunch (approx 12" x 12" x 3"). Luckily we brought our passports with us because we needed them to register for Kilamanjaro and we were not aware prior to arrival at Kilamanjaro.

Awesome hoke, you can see...

Awesome hoke, you can see some monkey along the way. We had a lot of fun. Nick was awesome as well, and afterwards he facilitated or ride to the airport. Thank you so much for that
