    Unforgettable experience

    Unforgettable experience on this 7-day trek to climb Kilimanjaro: the whole team was exceptional: guides Samuel Edgar and Justin were incredibly motivating, always there to reassure us at every stage which made the ascent much easier. Their professionalism and kindness really made the difference. Special mention to the food that was simply delicious. We didn't expect to eat so well and so much in the mountains. We were even allowed a homemade pizza at 4,000 meters above sea level. Chapeau Baraka! The team of porters was also incredible (spiax fell, stéphano, Jackson, Francis, iddy, John Michael, richard, Hassan, Herman, gasper, Edward, Ramadham, Ernest, martin, justimi, Robert and of course mr secret). Their good mood was communicative. Their good care, their courage and their songs that made us reach the top. At the top an unforgettable view! In short a great human adventure that I recommend to all trekking enthusiasts.

    An incredible experience!

    Great experience with an incredibly kind and helpful team! We felt safe with our 3 guides: Samuel, Justin and Edgar, always attentive to us and always in a good mood!! The porters were very courageous and always smiling, ready to help us at any time. And the cook Cyprien and his assistant Barack delighted us! The 7-day itinerary was perfect for acclimatizing to the altitude and the motivation of the guides allowed us to go to the summit! Thanks to the entire Sandipipers team, and to Abouh who managed everything. I recommend !!!

    When is the best time to visit Arusha?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arusha?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
