    The six-day trek was physically and mentally demanding, but Kwesa tours top-notch planning and arrangements made the experience smoother and more enjoyable. The knowledgeable guides accompanying us on this adventure were not only experienced mountaineers, but they also nurtured a spirit of camaraderie and encouragement among the group.

    I booked a 6 day climb of Kilimanjaro by the machame route and had an incredible time. It was my first time solo travelling and the whole team made me feel incredibly welcome. Tuliza was an absolutely incredible guide, helping me reach my goals - arrive at the top of the mountain first!! - and kept me smiling the whole trip. Masanja was the chef and every day the food was amazing - pancakes, pizza the lot. Also special thanks to Omary Juma the waiter who was incredibly funny and friendly. I was super nervous before booking but the whole team was amazing!! Thankyou Tuliza, Masanja, Omary and Kwesa tours

    I took the 6 days Machame route up Kilimanjaro, the crew from KWESA TOURS was nothing but perfect, they have loads of experience and made my dream of summiting possible. More than summiting a mountain I've had the pleasure of meeting incredible people. I wish all of them the best always, a special thank you to Edward and Wilson for guiding us, for managing difficult situations perfectly and for their vast knowledge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…!!!

    We were a group of four and had the most amazing time with KWESA Tours on this once in a lifetime journey! From day 1 we were well looked after by Teacher, Ben and our wonderful 15 porters. Our guides Teacher and Ben were very patient with us (who aren't very fit or fast hikers) and always made every effort to make sure we were comfortable and fit to keep going to the summit. There was always hot food and water to wash our faces and hands and our tents would always be set-up and ready for us as we reached each camp site. The crew made many special efforts (which i won't give away on this post!) to make each day of our Kili journey that extra memorable and comfortable. It was definitely a Holiday to remember!!! We also learnt about Tanzania and our surroundings from Teacher and Ben who were filled with so much local knowledge. Would recommend these guys to everyone! Thanks Teacher, ben, and crew for an unforgettable experience!!!

    We had an excellent 3-week trip to Tanzania with KWESA Tours. The guide Teacher was excellent at helping and supervising everyone on the climbs (Mt. Meru & Mt Kilimanjaro) and the pace he set was ideal for everyone to make it to the top (pole-pole was very important). The safari part was remarkable (we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater). Saw lots of action close up. I will always remember this trip and hope others are as fortunate as I was. Highly recommend KWESA Tours as a guide service.

    With the patience and expertise of our Kwesa Tours representative - Teacher - we planned and experienced a wonderful 7 day / 6 night Kilimajaro Adventure in Moshi Tanzania. We really appreciated the flexibility and guidance provided that enabled us to personalize our adventure. From pick up first morning to return to airport on day 67 everything went to plan and was amazing. During the hike we stayed at very best campsite - both great and different experiences. Service throughout warm and welcoming.

    Climbing Kilimanjaro as the tallest in Africa and the world’s highest free standing is a privilege to us. As to accommodations, Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel selection is very much appreciated an extraordinary property to unwind and enjoy the views from room to Kilimanjaro Mountain. KMW location - OUT of the city although the air was fresh!!!! Last but not the least Ticha and her team were absolutely marvelous.
