Trek To Mount Kilimanjaro

Boston Team Nemo’s memorable Kili hike

When my team of 10 hikers from Boston, Massachusetts, USA were looking to engage a trekking company, the following were primary factors -(1) experienced and qualified/trained team of guides and support staff; (2) one stop comprehensive adventure experience package - start at airport and conclude at airport; (3) local Tanzanian direct vendor; (4) Ease of engagement, responsiveness, flexibility; After scouting and shortlisting 4 vendors, Sirikwa Travels came out on top with a package offering of 8 day Lemosho hike route and 1 day Tarangeri park Safari package. We had an memorable and amazing adventure of our lifetime and the entire team felt so blessed to be skillfully led & guided by Jonathan and the entire Sirikwa support staff. We were fed with great food as per our previously identified preference, pampered, entertained and kept a jovial atmosphere throughout making our daily hikes happen magically. Jonathan Jakob and his assistants (Makere, Eddie, Leon) kept us all (10 of us) together when sections got busy with other groups crossing at the same time, coaching, giving tips, setting our pace (which was so crucial) which enabled us to summit successfully. Jonathan and is assistants were conversant and comfortable helping and advising minor ailments and ways to counter altitude effects, breathing, hydration etc. Our memorable and successful adventure is largely due to Jonathan, Ole and the entire Sirikwa crew🙏🏼.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Trek Experience with Siri’s

Me and my fiend decided to do something memorable on our 40th Birthday. After exploring many options, we hatched a plan to trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro. We’ve been recommended Sirikwa Travel by a group of friends. So we approached Ole from Sirikwa Travel. He was super helpful in terms of answering questions, offering suggestions and his willingness to help. He also organised a day trip to coffee plantation site for us in a very short notice and we had a great time. It was a great experience. Driver and a guide were lovely and friendly. We started our trek to Kilimanjaro on 19th of June with a brilliant team of 36 people. All the Staff members were lovely, funny and friendly and they looked after us really well throughout the journey. We reached to the top on 25th at 6.10 in the morning. Breathtaking views from the top and views of sunrise, immediately compensated my tired body and achy legs. I would like to thank entire team of Sirikwa Travel and Ole for their hardwork and help to create this amazing memory. I would highly recommend Sirikwa Travel to everyone who is thinking about creating a similar memory as us. Pole Pole, means slowly slowly in local language, you hear them from every other person you pass by, were probably the best thing to cope with the altitude. It was certainly what I did. Bish

A Priceless once-in-a-lifetime experience

Trekking to Mount Kilimanjaro waterfall was just one of the activities I did And well worth it. Ole and his brother Alfred went above and beyond what I expected to accommodate our group and when I return to Tanzania with family and friends Ole will be the first person I contact. His overall knowledge of the area plus the little things no one mentioned in the reviews I read before going which only he knew from personal experience is priceless. Everyone in our group had such a great once in a lifetime experience and I'm excited to return knowing will be in good hands. Thanks again Ole for making our time they're worry free and blessings to you your family and staff... see you next time and Hakuna Matata!

Outstanding Experience with Sirikwa!

My experience with Srikwa travel was fantastic. I’d like to include some personal details of my Kilimanjaro journey to better display the amount of professionalism and care that was shown to my friend and I. Our Kilimanjaro guides were named Leon and Johnathon. Both of them were very personable, spoke excellent English, and went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. If there was ever an issue with the pace of the hike, food served, or wake time, they would instantly alter our schedule to accommodate both of us. Ole, our personal contact, was always an email away, and sufficiently provided us with not only a successful Kilimanjaro climb but also the following hotel trips and sightseeing spots. He made sure to make us a priority, and continuously checked in when we needed it. Our porters and cooks were of fine quality, and often joked with us and had regular conversations about our progress on the mountain. We both found them all to be hilarious and fun-loving people. Joshua, one of our servers, stood out as someone who made it his pleasure to stop in and check on us. Even after the mountain when we did the safari ride at Ngorongoro crater, Johnathon tagged along with us and our driver Patience. Both made the drive a memorable experience, consistently informing us about the animals and their habits. Johnny was an excellent driver and got us to where we needed to be at any time. All and all, it was a wonderful time with Sirikwa, and I can’t recommend them enough.
