  • Machame Route - 7 Days reviewer 1
    · June 27th, 2021
    Climbing Kilimanjaro is not something people take lightly. Like many I did a lot of planning and paid a lot of money for this experience. Your tour guide is an indispensable part of the process. Getting the right one is essential. TourRadar’s Kilisa was very experienced and gave my son and I a truly first class experience. They are wonderful men who act like brothers, love each other and truly cared that we were safe, made it to to the top and had an enjoyable experience. I loved every part of it from the food to the descriptions of the plants and animals and nearby mountains, to the pictures they took for me and shared shortly after the trip, to the stories and medical checks. it was just perfect for us. Now we not only have great memories but we have 11 Tanzanian brothers. Love you Rama and Tami and the rest of the team. Hoorah for Kilisa.

    I just got back yesterday from my amazing adventure...the Trek was sooo beautiful I climbed Kilimanjaro with Kilisa tours..I had a great experience with the locals and the staff were wonderful..the porters , cooks made me feel like family.. So I came in November and i was not able to have my friends climb with me as I previously thought I would.. I was thinking I would feel alone.. But all of the staff made me feel right at home.. I am so greatful to have made friends with them, they created a great experience that I will remember for my entire life. The route climbed was called Machame, it was a 7 days.. I wouldn't have made it with out the support of the staff and guides, they were so positive and had good vibes, always smiling I'm happy to have met these wonderful people. The Trek was a big Challenge because i had never been up in such a high altitude..but very Amazing...word of advice "RESPECT THE MOUNTAIN" once again I'm glad I had to help from (Ramadhan) and the Kilisa Tour group Team, they allowed me to fully experience the mountain life. The whole Team took very good care of me. The Porters always had camp set up and ready for rest. The Cook prepared a top notch meal.. Just what I needed to refresh my body.I was given my meals with kindness from the server... It was soo good..I ate better on the Climb than I did when I was in town.I have Absolutely NO COMPLAINTS. I am very greatful for the experience that I was given with the Kalisa Team and all tge memories and friends I will keep from my trip..a wonderful trek from the bottom of Kilimanjaro to the Uhuru peak. I never would have made with out you guys! Much Thanks!! I had a Amazing experience with great food,experienced guides who were very kind,I Highly recommend booking Kilisa Tours for anyone who wants to have the experience that I have been given. Kilisa is Highly recommended, I will definitely go back................. 5 stars Thank you again Kilisa Tours

    Kilisa Tours & Safaris is really a perfect tour operator! From our booking to the personal WhatsApp-communication with Naick in Shawn and I spent about 2 weeks in Tanzania, with arrangements made this local tour company who supplied our guide Bacari and Tammy Throughout the Mountain and Chris during our safari and everything was taken care off porters/cook. Our trip was spent climbing Kilimanjaro 8-Days via Machame Route while we got the chance to Spend a night at Crater Camp during descent and spent 5-Days visiting various animal parks and that include Lake Manyara, Siringet, Tarangire and Ngoro Ngoro but we also we had one day to tour around Moshi town before we departure. We’re so happy we had a great experience with this company. During our safari we saw more animals and beautiful scenery than we ever thought we would, everything was just thrilling. And during the climb, well ...It was challenging but worthy the experience besides I asked Bacari and he said All ages and all types climb and summit, so don't let that detour you from trying. Approach with common sense and respect the mountain [Fact] Lol Okay Why do I recommend this company? So far Kilisa’s Team were attentive, friendly and extremely kind ever since we arrived everything was great and from the experience we had with it feels like it’s their priority to continue providing top-notch service to customers like you always which is I highly recommend you and you and you Besides they offer the best prices and the highest quality Briefly, everything was really great! It was truly an amazing wondrous experience.! In the end, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was one of the best experiences in my life.

    My girlfriend and I booked a 7 day Machame trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro hiking early July. I visualized it many times before the trek, and even when the time came by, gladly I was not disappointed at all. I actually made the best decision by choosing them bs they truly exceeded my expectations We had an amazing experience with Kilisa crew. We cannot say enough about the provision of what received from our guides Bakari and Bryson of what necessary for our health, guidance, maintenance most of all our goal Before the climb we had a meaningful briefing and after they helped us prepare for the trip with what clothing and gear to have. And even during the climb The experience was exceptional! our guides were constantly monitoring each of us along the way to make sure we were doing fine, we all felt like we were in a strong box and in good hands thoroughly. As the whole team [guides, cook and the porters] were equally caring, supportive and phenomenal hard working and how amazing they were focused on our safety and helping us to successfully bring about our goal. The meals provided during the trek by Rodger were diverse, and filling without forgetting how delicious they were “They call him Mama Africa.” Bakari would do our daily health checks after and then explain what to expect for the next day's hike [He’s just Incredible]. The team worked like a well-oiled machine. Each member of the team was genuinely keen for our success and under any circumstances, best part is sometimes they would perform cheerful songs with dancing session which they encouraged us to partake along. This always brought us so much and joy during the trek specially my girlfriend since she loves singing. And Along the entire route the guides were qualified at keeping a "POLE POLE" pace. We eventually came to realize due to this pace we were able to look around and take in the beauty of our surroundings. The forest zone was so green and lush. The flora of the heather-moorland was unlike anything I've seen before. The volcanic rock formations in the alpine desert were a thrill to look at! Most of all this “pole pole’ pace allowed us all to acclimatize to the altitude. Everything was Just amazing. Thanks to Kilisa’s crew who were all competent, approachable, knowledgeable and kind, Honestly If It wasn’t for them we would not have been able to make it to the top. As I stated at the beginning, this journey exceeded my expectations yet I can’t narrate each everything that I did experience during the trek but all in all This was a trip I'm so Glad I decided to do. It was worth every cent it cost and besides I feel so lucky that I got to do it with Kilisa Tours My girlfriend and I would highly recommend this company [although she prolyl writing her own review now :) ] to anyone who is planning a trip to Tanzania, and specifically to Mt. Kilimanjaro, didn’t go on a safari but I can definitely recommend them to that also through the experience I had with them on Kilimanjaro [No Doubt] Thank you Kilisa Tours for a wonderful adventure

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • Can 70+ years old tourists climb Kilimanjaro?

      Yes, there are travellers in their 70s and 80s who summit Kilimanjaro every year. However, it is recommended to seek professional medical advice first to ensure the person gets clearance from doctor. If they decide to trek the Kilimanjaro, it is also recommended to take one of the longer routes which provide more time for acclimatization.

    • Is it common to tip the support staff?

      Yes, it is and the recommended tipping amounts are the same no matter what route the hikers choose to do. The tip for the lead guide is usually $20-$25 per day; the tip for assistant guide and the chef is $10-$15 per day and the tip for each porter is $5-$10 per day.

    • Is any previous experience needed to climb Kilimanjaro?

      No, the climb to Mount Kilimanjaro does not require any previous climbing skills. On the Machame, Lemosho, Shira and Umbwe Route there is a section called the Barranco Wall that requires basic bouldering skills, however, no preparation is required for this section of the hike.

    • Is it possible to climb Kilimanjaro without a guide?

      No. All standard Kilimanjaro treks usually include not only a registered guide but porters to carry the trekkers gear, gas, tents and food. According to the Tanzanian law, it is not possible for travellers to climb Kilimanjaro without the support staff.

    • What is the night time temperature like on the summit of Kilimanjaro?

      The night time temperature at the Uhuru Point can range between 20 and -20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 to -29 degrees Celsius). Due to Mount Kilimanjaro's great height, the mountain creates its own weather.
