  My wife and I recently conquered the mighty Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Economy Safaris, and it was an experience we'll never forget. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond to ensure our safety and enjoyment. Our guide, Tuliza, was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always encouraging us and keeping us motivated throughout the challenging climb. A huge shoutout to the incredible kitchen staff! Adam, the cook, conjured up delicious and nutritious meals that fueled our bodies for the trek. Patrick, our waiter, was always attentive and ensured we were well-hydrated. We can't forget the amazing porters - Innocent, Ebenezer, Denis, Martine, Juma, and many others. Their strength, positive attitudes, and genuine smiles made the climb even more special. They truly became like family on the mountain. The Marangu Route offered stunning scenery as we traversed different ecological zones. The sense of accomplishment reaching the summit was indescribable, and it wouldn't have been possible without Kilimanjaro Economy Safaris. They provided a well-organized and supportive environment, making this once-in-a-lifetime adventure truly unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone considering climbing Kilimanjaro!

  Kili economy safari! Edward, the owner/manager was extremely quick to respond to questions. We did a waterfall hike, Kilimanjaro climb, and a 2-day safari with the company and everything was great. Our group did the 5-day mountain climb, which was not recommended by the company because it was very difficult. The hike was very difficult, and I recommend taking at least a few additional days. Guides were extremely friendly and helpful. The accommodations were simple but very nice and they have great food and drinks available on the premises. I would recommend using Kili economy safari for all of your Tanzania adventures!

  We just recently took a tour our first time using tourradar & I was very satisfied with the results the tour company we used Kilimanjaro economy tours / Kwesa tours located in Moshi Tanzania. The guides were amazing both Tom & Joseph & the director Edward & internet coordinator Ben the hospitality was incredible I couldn’t have asked for a better company they treated us like family helped us with equipment had notch before & after accommodations & transfers to the kili airport the price was beyond reasonable & very safe I was extremely skeptical about having to travel so far & not knowing anything about Tanzania or even the language. I would highly recommend this tour & look forward to visiting again :)!

  We booked Kilimanjaro climb with Kilimanjaro Economy Safari mid March and it was absolute brilliant experience. From very beginning a sales guy that picked up our query (Brother Henry) was very informative, helpful and patient to million questions we had, making sure that we are prepared for the hike. Actually initially we booked tour for Feb, however right at the departure (less that a day before the tour start) i had an issue with the passport and couldn’t board the plane - Kilimanjaro Economy was very accommodating and postponed our tour by a month with no additional charge (thank you again!) Upon arrival we were met in the airport and taken to Kilimanjaro Economy owned hotel. Everything is within the hotel grounds - Kilimanjaro Economy management office, rental shop, restaurant, pool, restaurant, even massage (very good!). the briefing with the guides and all the final packing and preparation is done in the hotel as well The climb itself was very well organised - it was definitely luxurious experience 1. Our tent was so spacious - main compartment with bags storage on one side and large vestibule on the other where we had a table with chairs set up, so it felt very homey. every day before you arrive to the camp, tents are set up, hot tea is waiting, just need to get the sleeping bags unrolled 2. Food was amazing. very good quality, portions if you can finish it all and very good variety - fresh fruits and vegetable every day of the hike, protein and carbs for energy.. we really enjoyed the food (thanks to our cook William) and all the attention (assistant cook Brayton - very attentive!). 3. Porters carry most of the belongings that you have, so you just carry day pack around 4. Every morning and evening we got hot water bowls for cleaning up, so that was really nice touch 5. Most important of course - our guide Elifuraha(and assistant guide Thomas) was excellent. Very detailed briefings every day, clear plan for a day. we really liked the pace Living set - we definitely moved slower than other groups, but since you have the whole day to trek 4-6-10km, what’s the rush?? loads of groups left first thing in the morning, rushed to the next camp and then sat in their tents all day.. we comfortably woke up, had breakfast, took our time to walk at the speed that allowed to avoid altitude sickness (we had no issues at all throughout the whole trip) and enjoy the scenery, made it to the camp midday and had energy to do acclimatisation hikes around. Not a race:) 6. Summit day is quite tiring mainly due to the fact that summit attack starts around midnight and we were not very well rested. Again, we took slower pace, it took us about 7.5hrs to summit.. still - no issues with altitude at all. fantastic feeling with reaching the summit:) All in all - the whole experience was perfect, no complains at all, would recommend Zara to anyone and if we ever can repeat the hike, would chose Kilimanjaro Economy again. thank you very much to the whole team!
