    From the booking experience to summiting Kilimanjaro and back home, everything was not only awesome but easy to do. I chose Kilisa Tours and that was the best decision, they looked after me, had the best guides and porters and even looked after me in Tanzania for a few days until my flight home. I wholeheartedly recommend both Tour Radar and Kilisa Tours. I wouldn't change anything about this trip!

    I would love to thank Kilisa’s team for their wonderful services. We just returned from a successful trip up Mt. Kilimanjaro with them. When I say successful, I mean awesome and superlative in every way. We were a group of 4 who booked our trip separately. We joined other climbers at the Park view Inn Hotel during a tour briefing and they also checked our climbing gear and they assisted us to hire a few items had forgotten to pack. The company went to all lengths to provide an amazing and safe climbing experience for us]. We trekked the Rongai route up to the summit and returned via the Marangu route - over the 7 days We were having 15 number of crew during the trek and that included i.e. 2 guides, 14 porters and 1 cook + waiter and honestly all of them went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable….and some of my best memories of the experience come from the crew that supported us all the way to the top. every morning began with a song and dance that energized us for the day ahead Our Guides were very knowledgeable and well informative about mountain Kilimanjaro and Also they were very good concerning first Aids [Our safety was their Top priority], while the rest of the crew was so helpful, encouraging and most of all friendly. They all have extremely hard jobs but they all do amazingly and appreciate everything! The entire journey was to my complete satisfaction. Everything was well organized and finally We made it! Uhuru peak [the peak of Freedom]. It was an amazing experience from start to finish I give them a first class recommendation

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
