    The following is a very detailed summary of my experience with kwesa tours - After I booked the tour, I was immediately contacted by Edward asking whether I would also like to book a safari or Sanzibar. When I declined with thanks, I proactively heard nothing more from Edward. he gave me NO information at all. he only replied to my questions, which i asked him via whatsapp. i expect an agency to proactively give me information about the equipment or help me choose a flight etc.. I did not receive any information

    Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Kwesa Tours was an unforgettable triumph! The professionalism and expert guidance from Julian, Edward, and Chasaka truly made this the experience of a lifetime. The breathtaking landscapes, the camaraderie within our group, and the unwavering support from the entire team made reaching the summit an achievement that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, Kwesa Tours, for making my dream of conquering Kilimanjaro a reality.

    My partner and I did a 7 day trek to the Kilimanjaro via the Machame route at the beginning of August and it was truly an unforgettable experience thanks to the KWESA TOURS crew. Our guides, Chris, Nick and Zach were incredible human beings, always available to answer our questions and to help us through our climb. They helped my partner suffering from altitude sickness with advice and medicine and escorted him down the mountain as he was feeling very sick. We were very grateful for their knowledge and their experience on the mountain. This experience would not have been possible without the whole team of porters and cook. A special thanks to Jackson, who was working extra hard to make sure we were all eating enough. I miss the early wake up with my coffee in the tent! We will miss you!

    Trekking up Kilimanjaro with KWESA Tours was above our expectations. The guides, porters and chef were helpful and fun people to be with. They became my good friends and will cherish their memories as long as I live. We had some of the best equipment, tents, a portable toilet and sufficient supplies for the whole climbibg party. Getting to the summit was very fulfilling, though it counts as one of the toughest things I have done in a long time. I am so grateful for this experience made possible by KWESA Tours

    Absolutely loved going through Kwesa tours! Tino and Teacher were the best guides I could have asked for. Communication was on point from the start, was able to pay in card, transportation to and from airport and everything. They are a well oiled machine. Plus they are a local team, unlike other major companies. Go with kwesa tours you wont be disappointed.

    My 17 years old son, friends and I completed the 7 day Machame route Mount Kilimanjaro Trek with Kwesa Tours a local company in Moshi Tanzania. We had an excellent experience and I have already recommended KwesaTours to many friends and co-workers. I researched many travel companies prior but Kwesa Tours became the best for my Kilimanjaro climb. I had 8 months to plan and I'm very satisfied with my experience with Kwesa. They keep you posted with your itinerary and gear needed as soon as you email them. They pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel. They go through your gear prior to starting your hike and they want you to be successful. Everything they do is geared toward you being successful and summit that mountain. The Kwesa Tours team, equipment, structure and safety protocols were exceptional. The food created everyday by the chef was amazing and with a good variety and the camp management, porters and rest of the support team were brilliant. Our guides were; Abdi , Justine and Joseph and I'm very sorry if I forgot any others.Justine is the boss and he ran the show, I cannot say enough about Justine , much respect to that man. I cant forget Ibrahimu in the kitchen, always there and always working hard. Our group had 10 people and we all successfully made it to the top with the awesome guidance of our Kwesa Tours staff. I highly recommend Kwesa Tours to climb Kilimanjaro and Tanzania safari

    As a NOVICE climber, I was a little apprehensive about tacking Kili in general. I had read about the physical challenges, but was mainly concerned about managing any symptoms of altitude sickness I might develop. From the second we met with the folks from KWESA, I started to feel more confident. They went over the gear we had brought, answered all our questions and outlined exactly what to expect on our journey. On Day 2 of the climb, I was already experiencing some effects of altitude, and our guides, Edward and Julian, were extremely knowledgeable about how to manage my symptoms They checked in with me regularly all day long, helped lighten my pack, advised me on how to reduce my symptoms and encouraged me to eat and drink enough. On top of that, they were constantly upbeat, kind, understanding, and ready to do whatever it took to make us safe and comfortable. Every single person on our crew - the porters, the chef, our waiter and our internet cafe (toilet) attendant were amazing - truly engaged and devoted to our experience. I recommend kwesa tours (and ESPECIALLY Edward and Julian) highly enough, regardless of your level of expertise. It was a truly magical adventure!

    I traveled to Tanzania with three friends to attempt Kilimanjaro's Uhuru peak. We selected KwesaTours because they were top rated and offered the level of comfort we desired at a very reasonable cost. I am happy to report that the overall experience was amazing, exceeding all our expectations. Our quest backed by an amazing crew of guides, porters and cook who made the climb comfortable and fun. The equipment provided was excellent; tents that kept us warm, sheltering us from the cold gusts blowing hard at the higher altitudes, spacious mess tent for our meals and evening banter and a mobile toilet for our biz. I have to commend the whole team for perfect execution; care, motivation and support whenever we needed it. It would have been an impossible quest without their support. We all reached the summit on February 19th which is a great achievement. I have nothing but praise for Kwesa Tours and will return soon to do a safari with them.
