Mt Kilimanjaro Trek - Machame Route (8 Days)

Super friendly and professional staff made the trip a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about climbing Mt Kilimanjaro

Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire (with Materuni waterfalls, coffee tour) - 6 Days

The safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area was excellent. The guide, Lewis, was quite knowledgeable, the accommodation better than other camp sites, and the meals very delicious. It also helped that we saw all five of the Big 5! In addition, we saw baby elephants rolling about in the mud, a pack of spotted hyena dealing with a carcass, and a male and female lion attempting to mate. Lake Manyara was a little disappointing because the heavy rains had stirred up the mud in the water and discouraged the birds from feeding there. I also felt that the guide was not as informative as Lewis. The visit to Materuni Falls was good although very muddy because of the wet weather. The food was excellent and the coffee tour very lively and entertaining.

Tanzania Camping Adventure

We had a great time. Mostly the animals were amazing, which Moses and our drivers either found for us or were directed too. While that was mostly out of their control, what was in their control was well done. The food was very well done and varied. Camp was set up for us and spacious. I was a little nervous concerning the lack of protection on the parks but we had no incidents. All in all well done if a bit pricey.

Kilimanjaro climbing machame route 7 days

Almighty Kilimanjaro are the best company to climb Kilimanjaro with, I genuinely believe that we hit the jackpot with our team from the word go Almighty Kilimanjaro were professional and supportive. The day before the hike they come to meet you, give you a brief and ensure that all of our gear was suitable, this made us feel at ease and ready to go, at this point they also recommend getting a private toilet, I would really recommend, this, there were only 3 of us so we shared one between us. Every day of the climb our guides Muntari and Frankie were incredible, they were so knowledgeable about the mountain and shared loads of interesting information about all of the plants you see on the way but they were also like family and they chatted to us about everything and anything and constantly kept us going and kept spirits high even when some of us were struggling with altitude. Every evening they give nightly briefings, conducting blood oxygen checks, completing health check forms and take a genuine concern for the groups well-being, before giving information on the following days climb. They are remarkable. They even asked the chef to concoct a soothing ginger drink to settle our stomachs. Every meal time Shabani our chef made the most delicious food for us, I was so amazed by the food he could make on the mountain and really think he should start a mountain cook book or a restaurant he's amazing, you get very well fed on the trip! Enjoy it and make sure you try to eat even when your appetite drops, you will need the energy. Apollo was our waiter and we loved him, he woke us up every morning with hot water for teas and coffee and a jolly 'Jambo' gave us hot water to wash ourselves with at the beginning and end of each day and served all of our meals. He was just amazing throughout, he will make an excellent guide one day and we wish him all the best for that. The porters were also outstanding and worked unbelievably hard after carrying so much up the mountain they always set up camp and even came back to find us and help us with our day bags if we needed it and lent a hand to help us over the steep rocks. Frankie and Muntari we owe so much to you, without you we wouldn't have made it to the top, all of our group ended up making it to the summit but all at different times due to altitude issues but we all made it and that was solely down to their knowledge of the mountain and their patience and genuine want for everyone to reach the top. Frankie was with me when I made it to the summit, I was very very emotional on the way up because of the reason for my climb and Frankie was incredibly supportive always giving me a big hug to keep me going when I needed it the most. I cannot thank Frankie enough for helping me to reach my dream and make it to the highest point in Africa. And to Muntari for taking care of my husband, knowing when he needed to turn back and rest and for giving him the opportunity to get up and go again for the summit the following morning. We know that this all must have put alot of additional pressure on the team but they always had constant smiles and an evident passion for their work, nothing was to much trouble. They were a truly uplifting team of people who wanted you all to succeed. To anyone thinking about this adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Train well, respect the mountain, and be mindful of the altitude's effects and most importantly listen to the guides and respect them. They are the true hero's of the mountain. This journey is genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are immensely grateful to Almighty Kilimanjaro and their amazing team for making it possible. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. ?️✨ Nicole and Nathaniel

Kilimanjaro: Machame Route

This was an incredibly challenging and rewarding trip. The Intrepid guides were so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We had a fantastic group with great dynamics, the food was good, the equipment was well looked after, our porters were such hard workers and our guides knew everything there was to know about the mountain and how to best deal with the altitude and looked after us all really well. I highly recommend climbing Kili with Intrepid.

Premium Tanzania

Mount Kilimanjaro climbing via Marangu Route 8 days Tanzania (all accommodation and transport are included)

spider tours and safaris is an excellent locally run company. I signed up for the 8 day marangu route along with a 4 day safari. From initial planning of the trip throughout the end spider tours and safaris provided excellent timely communication and service. Our climb was led by guides dany and innocent and both were great. They have led summits many times and were very knowledgeable and friendly. If you listen and follow they will definitely get you to the top. The rest of the team (Cook, Porters, etc) were awesome and they always seemed to be having fun and in a good mood. Overall all of the employees seem to be treated well and happy. Our Safari was led by Bryan who has an eagle eye for spotting animals. On multiple occasions he was pointing out stuff we never would have found. He has been in the business for quite some time and it really showed as he was an excellent guide. Overall spider tours and safaris far exceeded my expectations and is an excellent choice if you are heading to Tanzania.

Kilimanjaro climb lemosho route 8 days

The experience was simply incredible & the views from the summit - breathtaking. The team at Almighty Kilimanjaro lead by guides Jackson, Anton, and Assistant Guide, James, were outstanding. Special mentions to crew including waiters Zu & Tom, ToTo for ensuring we had a clean bathroom & toilet tent, And, the chef for his creative cooking - keeping our bellies full of delicious food everyday. Having opted for the 8 day Lemosho route, we were very pleased with our decision come Summit day. We have adjusted to the altitude enough to give everything we had for the summit 'push' - albeit in gruelling conditions. The wind and wind chill on the summit were nothing like we've ever experienced before and whilst we were well prepared in terms of gear, I suggest everyone tackling the summit to prepare for an artic climate. In hindsight, we could have done with some hand and foot warmers (even with two layers of gloves and wool socks was cold!) & a spare buff (for when our primary one froze around our faces). On summit day, we recommend not relying on your bladder for water as my bladder and the rubber tube froze completely. Fortunately, my partner was carrying water bottles (which turned to water slushies, still - better than no water!). Mt. Kilimanjaro was one of the best adventures we've had to date & it was made that much more memorable because of the amazing team at Almightly Kilimanjaro!

Kilimanjaro Climbing Via Lemosho Route 10 Days (all accommodation and transport are included)

I just did the 10 day Lemosho climb with Emanuel and crew from Spider Tours and Safaris. Wow! I knew they were the company for me when I first started looking around because they got back to all my emails within less than 10 hours no matter time difference, and were friendly and patient the whole time. Then I met Emanuel. What a class act! He made sure I had all appropriate gear, took care of the issue when my bag didn't arrive on the plane with me, and generally was pleasant and took care of me through the whole trip. He also booked me a wonderful stay in Zanzibar afterward. His prices are great and you get excellent food and unbeatable service. He is friends with all the porters and they are treated well and seem to enjoy working for him. Best of all, all profits stay in Tanzania and benefit an orphanage and a porter scholarship program. He also does safaris.

Great Migration

Serengeti Safari - (PRIVATE TRIP)

When I first contemplated what I would experience on a safari, my thoughts went to roughing it … uncomfortable accommodations, mediocre food and long stretches of no animal sightings. Boy, was I mistaken. And I credit OneSeed for turning my expectations upside down. First of all, our guide, Saleh, was incredible. He's incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and can spot a leopard's paw dangling from a tree from 500 yards away. I wanted just one fantastic photograph to put on my wall back home, and Saleh made sure that I got about 10. I can't say enough good things about him. Next, our accommodations were incredibly comfortable. Soft beds, luxurious blankets, and spacious quarters were waiting for us in Tarangire and Serengeti national parks and Ngornongorno Crater Conservation Area. One can never underestimate how good it feels to take a warm shower after a dusty day, and each lodge delivered. The cherry on top was falling asleep to the sounds of nearby lions and waking to the sights of giraffes and zebras parading in front of our tent camp. The food was wonderful. And we ate each morning and evening with Saleh, so we had wonderful conversations, recapped the incredible sights of the day, and planned the next day's activities. All in all, OneSeed ensured that my safari was an adventure with vivid memories that will forever fuel my imagination.

8 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing - Lemosho Route

I went by myself for the 8 days Mount Kilimanjaro via Lemosho route, it was affordable and the guide and team of porters were great and really helped in getting me to the summit! I can't recommend Steppe Dogs Adventure enough, especially if your looking to do it on a budget. They kept the food plain and simple as well which I really appreciated.

Climb Kili Lemosho Route 7 Day CLIMB, Qualified Mountain Guides & Sustainability Certification

We have just returned from the 7 day Lemosho Route organised by World Adventure Tours . I can honestly say that I have never met such a well organised Tour Company as them . I went with my Son and right from the start they were very professional making you the priority. The two guides William and Stephen could not do enough for you and would go at the pace you were happy with,as I’m 60 years and had a knee replacement then they allowed for this . The 7 day route was very challenging but was also made very enjoyable by their hard work .Thanks to their help in pace and friendly advice we both reach the summit and boy was it worth the effort .A big thank you also to the fabulous porters who without them we could not do this . I can honestly say 10 out of 10 to World Adventure Tours for giving both my son Sam and myself an experience we will not forget . I can not recommend this company enough.Thank you one and all.????????????

8 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing - Machame Route

Make sure you book with this tour company as they’re the BEST. The whole crew are very special people and did everything they could to help us (my friend and I). Noel and Nickson were extremely supportive throughout the tour and they continuously encouraged us. They made this experience truly amazing and I will never forget it.

Big Five Luxury Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Approach to Travel

The tour was very well organized. Everything worked up quite well and everyone took good care of us. It was a magnificent time in Tanzania's wild nature. Also the tour company took care of all changes online (one day early arrival and extra shira tour booking) in a flexible and timely manner. Our Safari guide and driver Israel did really a great job. He worked hard to find all the animals for us as good as possible. This wasn't an easy job as we were there during rain season. He kept us safe and well informed all the time. We saw many wild animals such as cheetahs, lions, giraffes, buffalos, elephants, hippos, hyenas and of course tons of Gnus, zebras and all kinds of antilopes, monkeys and birds. We could even see some of the big five like the lion from eye to eye, roaming around less than 1m from our vehicle! Of course there's no guaranty of which wild animals you'll see as we're talking about natural parks, but you can rest assured the guides are doing their best to show you what nature is offering during your visit. All the staff in the hotels, parks and people in general were very kind and very welcoming! The food was always good and safe. FYI, the actual safari is 5 days + 2 days arrival and departure. Nevertheless within these 5 days we saw so many places and had a unique nature experience. "Luxury" as mentioned in the title is a bit too much said, especially when it comes to accommodation. On the other hand all the hotel names/ratings and the exact itinerary were mentioned clearly so no surprises. The luxurious part was actually that we were only on our own since it's low season :) Our guide Israel was flexible and fulfilled every possible wish we had. The Maasai village tour in the way to Serengeti costs an extra 50$ which is a fair price but they will also offer you some overpriced hand-made souvenirs to buy. The tour itself was very interesting and nice including a welcome song and dance basically from the whole village :) The Serengeti Safari lounge was quite spacious and had a big balcony to enjoy the endless view of the Serengeti. That was definitely the best accommodation of the trip. We woke up to a great show of a huge group of Gnus and Zebras directly in front of our balcony. The very ones who were singing for us all night :) Last but not least: if you're wondering about the prices even for a day tour, you should know that the park fees including conservation fees are quite high. So you're basically contributing to the well-being of these parks as well as the many wonderful people protecting them.

Kilimanjaro: Rongai Route

FANTASTIC trip! Plenty of good, fresh food on our trip - share out the rest of your snacks with the porters to enjoy so they don't have to carry it up. I had nasty altitude sickness (grey in face, vomiting, stopping to rest for 3 seconds after every step) and had decided against going the whole way up, despite missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. The guides (Onex and Mike) had enough experience to say I could make it, and they then proceeded to help me right up to the very top!! (Also helped me very quickly descend afterwards!) Our ENTIRE group made it to the top (one a bit later then the rest) thanks to the brilliant guides/porters. Onex really cares for his team and it showed, so I am 100% sure that this trek was ethically thought-out. If you do this trek, TAKE NEW/OLD JACKETS/SOCKS/GAITERS/CARIBENA CLIPS/ESPECIALLY WARM SLEEPING BAGS/MATS TO DONATE TO THE PORTERS ON THE VERY FIRST DAY (as awkward as it feels) because the average temp in Tanzania is 25*C so those starting out as porters have no reason to have purchased warm clothing prior to their career starting. Also walking poles 100% worth it because I couldn't raise my knees on their own to climb upwards on day 4 and the ability to use my arms to offload burden saved me!

What people love about Tanzania Tours

I got Covid from someone in the group. For a high altitude hike like this, we should have been tested for Covid. It not like I could avoid it, we ate together in an enclosed tent.

Incredible adventure and organization. The staff, equipment, accommodation and food was spot on. Just exactly what was needed and wanted! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, ensures everyone’s needs were accommodated. Perfect trip.

Why Travel With Adventure Life

Recognized by.

Sub regions inside

Broader region.

Tanzania is located in East Africa and is home to some of Africa’s most pristine wildlife sanctuaries, the second highest mountain in the world - Kilimanjaro, a massive volcanic crater, and gorgeous white sand beaches with warm turquoise waters. The plains of the Serengeti National Park offer an exhilarating safari experience with phenomenal game viewing opportunities which includes the “Great Mammal Migration” and the famous “Big Five” (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), whilst the tropical island of Zanzibar is a marine wonderland with its untouched coral reefs and gorgeous climate. Tanzania has a strong cultural heritage and offers visitors the rare opportunity in northern Tanzania of meeting with the fascinating Maasai people who have a great understanding of how to live in semi-arid and arid lands.

The question of when is the best time to visit Tanzania is best determined by what you wish to experience.

Tanzania has a temperate climate with relatively comfortable temperatures all year round. The main variation to the impact of the temperature is the humidity and annual rains.

Traditionally, the annual rainfall arrives around the beginning of April and continues until the end of June. The second, slightly less strong, rainy period, is from the beginning of November (around 2 weeks later on Zanzibar) to the middle of December, roughly speaking.

Although the Serengeti offers fantastic game viewing all year round, there are particular months that are deemed as the best time to visit the park. The dry season months of June through October are the most popular time of the year for a safari in Tanzania, with animals congregating near water sources and the vegetation thining; improving the visibility of animals. If you aspire to see the annual Mammal Migration , then it is best to travel during the months of June and July . In the months of December to March , the migration herds are located down in the very southern region of the park. April and May is a good time to book a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania, as the game is still good, crowds are minimal, and the prices are at the lowest of the year.

The best time to visit Zanzibar is from June to October during the cool, dry months of spring. Another popular time to visit this tropical island is from December to February when it’s hot and dry. The ocean temperatures are perfect for swimming, diving or snorkeling expeditions.

Mount Kilimanjaro is best climbed either between July and October or January to March .

Tanzania is a country located in East Africa and is renowned for its vast wilderness areas.

The plains of the Serengeti National Park offer an exhilarating safari experience with phenomenal game viewing opportunities which includes the “Great Mammal Migration” and the notorious “Big Five” (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), whilst Kilimanjaro National Park is home to Africa’s highest mountain. Offshore lie the tropical islands of Zanzibar, with Arabic influences, and a marine park which is home to whale sharks and beautiful coral reefs.

Also on the coast is the bustling city of Dar es Salaam, where Swahili culture meets a modern tropical metropolis. In the north, Olduvai Gorge is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world; an asset in understanding early human evolution. Olduvai is next to Ngorongoro Crater, a massive volcanic valley that’s a major wildlife conservation and safari area, inhabited by the indigenous Maasai, who still pursue traditional tribal practices. Lake Tanganyika is the location of Jane Goodall’s primate research center, where visitors can track chimpanzees along the shoreline.

Serengeti National Park

Located in northern Tanzania, this World Heritage Site and most celebrated wilderness area known as the Serengeti is a photographer and filmmakers dream, especially during the massive annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. The crocodile infested Grumeti River is a top attraction during this remarkable event; with hungry Nile crocodiles awaiting their opportunity to strike as the herds frantically cross the river. The reserve has an abundance of wildlife with the numbers estimated to be well over 3 million. There is even an active volcano within the Serengeti National Park; the only volcano to eject carbonatite lavas that turn white when exposed to air.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a protected area and a World Heritage Site located 180 km (110 miles) west of Arusha in the Crater Highlands area of Tanzania. The area is named after Ngorongoro Crater, a large volcanic caldera within the area. The crater is 610 meters (2,000 feet) deep and its floor covers 260 square kilometers (100 square miles). Approximately 25,000 large animals, including the Big 5, live in the crater. The crater also has one of the densest known population of East African lions which are particularly strong in the Ndutu Lake area. It is important to note however that the Ngorongoro Crater does get very busy so we do recommend a two-night stay here.

Tarangire National Park

Often regarded as Tanzania’s most underrated national park, Tarangire is a must on a northern circuit itinerary. It is Africa’s best-kept secret, boasting a variety of wildlife and diverse landscapes. The name originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The river is the primary source of freshwater for wild animals in the Tarangire ecosystem during the annual dry season (July to October). Visitors to the park in the dry season can expect to see large herds of thousands of zebra, wildebeest and cape buffalo. Tarangire is notorious for its large elephant population - the largest in Tanzania. During the dry season, herds of up to 300 elephants can be seen digging in the dry riverbed of the Tarangire River looking for underground streams.

Boasting some of the finest tropical beaches in Africa, as well as world-class scuba-diving sites, we rate Zanzibar as an ideal destination for travelers seeking a blissful, barefoot-luxury holiday. Whether you want to spend your days relaxing on a tropical beach, exploring the cultural attractions of Stone Town, or enjoying the many water sports on offer, this island has something for every traveler.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is a smaller park located both in Arusha Region and Manyara Region of Tanzania. The park is strikingly diverse with barren lands, forest, and a salt lake. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for the flamingos that inhabit the lake. During the wet season, they can be found at the edges of the lake in flocks of thousands but they are not so present during the dry season. More than 400 species of birds inhabit the park making this the ideal location for bird watching. Leopards, East African lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippopotami, several antelope and many more wild animals inhabit this park and many can be seen throughout the year.

Located below Mount Meru in northern Tanzania, the charming city of Arusha is a gateway to the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, Olduvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Arusha National Park on Mount Meru. As it rests at the base of the twin peaks, Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro, the city serves as an ideal base for hikers eager to conquer Africa’s highest mountain. Arusha is known for its vibrant nightlife, Masai Market, National Natural History Museum, and traditional Tanzanian cuisine.

Mount Meru is the fifth highest mountain in Africa and second highest in Tanzania, standing at 4 566 meters. The dormant stratovolcano is located 70 kilometers west of Mount Kilimanjaro and is often considered by hikers as a warm-up trek for Kilimanjaro. The fertile slopes rise above the surrounding savanna and support a forest that hosts diverse wildlife, including nearly 400 species of birds, as well as monkeys, giraffe, bushbuck and leopards.

Kilimanjaro National Park

Kilimanjaro National Park covers an area of 186 749 acres, protecting the largest free-standing volcanic mass in the world and the highest mountain in Africa, with its peak at 5 895 meters. The mountain is encircled by mountain forest. Numerous mammals, many of them endangered species, live in the park. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a lifelong dream for many, with an estimated 25 000 people attempting the climb each year. In the lower-lying areas such as the forest zone there are a multitude of birds, blue monkeys, colobus monkeys and olive baboons. Civets, leopards, mongooses, elephants and Abbott’s duikers also live in the mountain’s forest, but sightings are extremely rare. The alpine and arctic zones are too harsh for any animals to survive comfortably.

Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam, meaning “haven of peace” is Tanzania’s largest and busiest port city.

Loved amongst travelers for its seaside setting and eclectic vibe, Dar es Salaam bustles with fish markets, dhow boats, museums and striking architecture. Dar es Salaam is a diverse city with a mix of African, Arabic, and Indian cultures. Popular day trips include the beautiful Mbudya Island where you can bask on the island's white-sand beaches, snorkel, and swim in the turquoise waters. Bongoyo Island is a much-loved island getaway, lying off the Msasani Peninsula, about four miles north of the city. Located about six kilometers north of the city on the Msasani Peninsula, is the popular Coco Beach, where you can savor street food and listen to live music. The Oyster Bay Shopping Center here is a popular attraction, with farmers markets, art galleries, and boutique shops.

Lake Tanganyika

Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake and the second oldest freshwater lake in the world. Lake Tanganyika is home to Nile crocodiles, various turtle species, the Storms water cobra, and more than 80 species of non-cichlid fish of which about 60% of these are endemic. Most visitors choose to base themselves in the lovely lakeside town of Kigoma which serves as a gateway to the two rainforest reserves bordering the lake: Mahale Mountains National Park and Gombe Stream National Park, both of which offer unforgettable up-close chimpanzee encounters and an astonishing variety of birdlife.

Pascal is a travel angel! Highly recommend him.

We started planning for our safari trip contacting a bunch of different travel advisors but Pascal's service truly stood out to us as the best in the industry. He took care of planning everything from start to finish for our very last minute honeymoon trip (literally a month out and during the busiest safari season). He is extremely meticulous and very responsive to our 100 questions. He shared first hand experiences at each of the different lodges, personal pictures and gave us solid recommendations within our budget. He hopped on a call with us initially to explain all the differences to us first time safari goers, and continued to be very flexible and patient with us as we couldn't decide! We are very excited for our trip and cannot thank Pascal enough for being our first interaction on our upcoming trip.
