6-Day Guided Tour in Machame Route Mt Kilimanjaro

AMAZING EXPERIENCE with Climb Kili!

Easily one of the best experiences of my life—I couldn't have done it without the Climb Kili team. As a solo female traveller, I was naturally nervous about travelling to Africa alone. However, from the moment I arrived in Tanzania, I was made to feel welcome, safe, and genuinely cared for by every member of the team. I chose the 6-day Machame Route with the Kosovo Camp advantage, and I can't recommend it enough—it was a real game changer. We successfully reached Uhuru Peak on 6 July, thanks to our incredible guides, John and Christian. Their knowledge, encouragement, and positive energy meant I never doubted that we would make it to the summit. Some of my favourite moments were when the Climb Kili team sang for us. Their enthusiasm and kindness lifted my spirits exactly when I needed it most and made the experience feel even more special. The food was outstanding—I genuinely ate better on the mountain than I do at home! I was also in awe of the porters, who carried all of our equipment, raced ahead to set up camp, and somehow still had delicious meals ready for us when we arrived. Their hard work was nothing short of incredible. Every single person involved played a part in making this an unforgettable experience. If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, don't hesitate to book with Climb Kili! you will not regret it :-)

Climb Kili is awesome!

Great experience! Amazing attention to detail by Herment and his team throughout the entire climb. I couldn't believe how hard all of the team worked to help us every moment along the way.

The highlight of my life to the highest mountain Killimanjaro in Africa continent.

This Kilimanjaro trip must be the "highlight" of my life as it is probably the highest point I ever set foot on. Though I trekked Everest Base Camp (18000 ft) and Annapurna Base Camp (14000 ft) Nepal in 2022 and 2024, the Kili (20000 ft) summit posted different challenges. Herment, the lead guide, from Climb Kili and his crew definitely made our climb much easier and enjoyable. His leadership in managing a large crew of 43 porters and 6 guides, serving our group of 13 people, is unbelievable. Imagine the numbers of tents, toilets, tables/chairs, food and other they had to carry with, and all those were ready setup whenever we arrived at the campsites. I was amazed by the logistic planning and execution of ClimbKili, especially the varieties of food, fruit and clean water available every single day. We have a large group, by design, of 13 friends, with diverse ages and trekking experience. It would be a nightmare if we tried to be going on the same speed, as each individual may need different acclimation process. Herment and the guides understood this well, and told us to listen to our body and go with the speed we are comfortable with. Herment always stayed behind and ensured everybody was OK. As he said, "we are not in a race, our aim is to summit, go pole pole." The guides were always encouraging and supporting us when we need them. The porter entertained us with many dances. Same as in EBC and ABC, I chose to put my body through hell, challenging my limit physically and mentally. I went pole pole, step by step, slowly but surely. There is no word to describe the joy of reaching the summit, it was an emotional and spiritual journey. This journey has burned into my memory for the rest of my life, I will treasure the friendship I made with new friends, and all the guides and porters. There is a saying, "It's not the destination, it's the journey, the people you meet!" And I gained an African Brother, Herment! *Special thanks to Climb Kili for giving me a surprise birthday party at 13000 ft. How did they make a birthday cake at such high altitude?* Another way to remember this trip is "It is a piece of cake, Hakuna Matata!"

We had an incredible trip with Climb Kili and successfully summited! From the start, Tiffany made sure all our questions and that we had what we need ahead of our trip. Our flight was delayed by a day and she even helped us get a refund on our hotel. Our guides and climbing team were incredible. Thank you to Amani, Godwin and Isaiah for leading us up the mountain all the way and being so kind and patient! Could not have done it without you. We also had a great crew of fellow climbers that helped make this a trip we won’t forget.
