Kilimandscharo 7-tägige Wanderung über die Machame-Route (mit 2 Nächten im Hotel)

The trip was great! My guide Gabriel was very experienced and supportive during the whole ascent. And the crew of cook and porters did an amazing job, everything was perfect during the 6 days on Marangu route. I must say I was impressed by the infrastructure of the huts and camps during the route. Huts are very comfortable, all camps except the last one have running water, excelent bathrooms, and even electricity with solar panels. The mountain is impressive, starting from a beautiful rainforest to almost 6000m. The ascent is enjoyable most of the time, but summit day is tough!

Overall they did very well, would give it 4.5/5. Some positives: - Folks are very friendly. The porters make your life much easier, carrying your duffel and bringing you water for washing each morning. - Food on the mountain is fantastic. It's fresh, diverse, and abundant. It's more likely you'll gain weight on the mountain than lose weight. - My guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable about both the mountain and the vegetation. Always felt safe trekking with him. He'll make sure you get good pictures and videos, and he'll demonstrate the 'pole pole' way of trekking the mountain. - It's a small local company, but still offers almost all the perks of what the larger companies operate for a very reasonable price. - There will be opportunities to enjoy Tanzania's culture during the experience. Some examples include the market in Moshi, Tanzanian food on the mountain, and hearing the Kilimanjaro song from your crew. A couple things to improve: - Communication before the trek can be better. They'll handle the paperwork and transportation, but it is also important to check in periodically to make sure the transportation/gear/documents are in order once you arrive. - The itinerary can be followed more closely, especially when it comes to day-by-day plan. If you have an acclimatization day, be sure not to skip it. It's a great experience overall, so be sure to prepare lots of cash for tips and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trek!

I had a fantastic climb with this group, they exceeded my expectations and I made it to the top of Kilimanjaro! This journey is not for the faint hearted but it is incredible to stand on the roof of Africa and conquer the mountain.

We did a 10 days with Kiliholidays. 6 days Kilimanjaro climbing + 4 days safari (Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater). Everyting went very well! Mack was always responsive, and he had us with great guides for both parts of our trip. Gabriel (for Kilimanjaro) is great. Very professional and experienced! And Godson (for the Safari) is a very special guide! Very professional, very experienced! We highly recommended Kiliholidays with such great level of services like we had: also thumbs up for those two leaders guides that did an awesome job!

I want to clarify that Explore Share put us in contact with Kiliholiday (Mack), as our "guide" for this trip. Mack of Kiliholidays was the problem that made my wife miserable, was not honest with us about accommodations, and ruined our trip. We worked with a total of 4 actual guides on our trip, who were independent guides contracted by Kiliholiday to help us. We had two guides on the Kilimanjaro hike (Baha and Paul), and two guides on our Safari (Godfrey and Emanuel). These were all independent and not employees of Kiliholidays, only Mack was officially with KIliholidays and we only saw him upon arrival and when he wanted more money. The Vehicle we started the Safari in broke down multiple times, and eventual we had to have another guide meet us with a working vehicle. The vehicles were owned by Kiliholiday, and it was not the guides fault. Both Safari Guides and the Kilimanjaro guides were very knowledgeable and helpful.
