Tusker is the elite adventure/ travel company
My expectations were completely blown away. Everyone from the porters to the guides were very friendly, experienced and created amazing memories. I would recommend Tusker to anyone
Response from the operator: Kilimanjaro doesn’t hand out summits easily. You earned yours through steady effort, and respect for the mountain. Standing on the top is the visible moment. Thank you for climbing with us.

Extraordinary Experience Hiking the 6-day Machame Route with Tusker
Extraordinary experience! I wouldn't go with any other tour group than Tusker. We watched some of the other crews and few were nearly as attentive, eager, and helpful as the Tusker team. Our family of six (children aged 15, 18, 20, and 22) were supported by three amazing guides (Simon, Urio, and Pastori) and by a crew of nearly 30 porters. They emphasized two driving principles: Safety and Positive Experience! And they over-delivered on both. We could not more strongly recommend Tusker! Amazing experience!

Made it to the Summit of Kilimanjaro thanks to our Tusker Team
Our Tusker Team was the best. They took care of us and made sure we made it to the Summit. The tents, food, advice and careful medical evaluations each day ensured our success! Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, experienced and we highly recommend Tusker Trails for a successful climb on Mt Kilimanjaro. We did a two day safari after our climb, which was arranged by Tusker Trails. Everything worked out well and I highly recommend doing a safari. The wild life is incredible. In my opinion, Tusker Trail is the only way to go for a climb of Mt Kilimanjaro.

Tusker Trail Summits History Making Expedition African American Team.
Selection of a quality trail guide company is one of most important the things one can do in planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and Tusker Trail is the right company. Their knowledgeable and professional guides, attentive and supportive porters, masterful chefs, and can-do encouragement can't be beat. Tusker plans to get you safely to the summit and they know exactly how to do this. The 11 adults on our expedition were all impressed with Tusker's guide team. They were supportive, anticipatory, kind, and looked for ways to make our climb an adventure of a lifetime. "One team; one dream" became our mantra as we walked through the jungle, crossed the arid lands to larva rock, scaled the Great Barranca Wall and faced the challenges of Stella Point. Tusker paid close attention to our medical condition, pace, and energy level and offered suggestions on how to take care of ourselves. Because of them, we set a record as the oldest African American expedition team to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Tusker for helping us to make history.

Machame Climb
I would like to express my gratitude to the entire Tusker team on my recent successful summit. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe for my entire time in Tanzania as the team works very hard to ensure the trip is successful and that you are well cared for. I met some incredible people on this trip with the commonality that we were all embarking on this shared adventure, and we spent so much of our time that week laughing and enjoying new friends as we made our way up and down the mountain. Many thanks to the Tanzanian crew, including our lead guide, Eliakim, assistant guides Nemes and Kombe, Zekiel and Daniel at camp, Alex on rescue, Peter and Frank as drivers, and the numerous very hard-working porters that made our trip possible. Their ability to adapt to changes needed on the trail for our group was impressive and done in a consistently professional manner. Additionally, having Julian managing on the ground in Tanzania was invaluable as travel is rarely 100% predictable and his assistance in troubleshooting any issues that developed was much appreciated. I would not hesitate to travel on another Tusker trip in the future (and dream of doing so someday). I would highly recommend using their company should you have the opportunity to complete this challenging but rewarding trek.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day cost?
+
Prices start at $5628 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day take?
+
Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 240-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kilimanjaro Climb • Machame Route ~ 10 Day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Climbing Kilimanjaro through 7 days Machame Route, Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
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 Moshi?
+
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
