Things to do in Kilimanjaro National Park, Kilimanjaro Region: The Best Tours

June 22, 2021 Stefan Strunk

Centering around massive Kilimanjaro (Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, rising to nearly 20,000 feet), the national park protects the area above 8,850 feet. On ascent, the mountain's foothills morph into lush forests, serving as home to elephants, leopard and buffalo. Further up are moorlands covered in giant heather, then alpine desert land. Higher still come the ice and snow that make Kilimanjaro famous. Hikes to the top (Uhuru Peak) take six to seven days.

Four of my friends and I recently completed 7 days Kilimanjaro climb Machame route with Incredible Africa Adventures. It was an amazing experience from the time we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport till the time we boarded our flight back home. The owner Octavian himself came to receive us at the airport and drove us to a beautiful hotel in Moshi town. Next day the team of 2 guides met us at the hotel for mountain briefing from day one till day seven. They were both amazing and ensured we end our hike very successfully. Exceptional guides that the company provided. I would highly recommend Incredible Africa Adventures team for your mountain climbs in Tanzania. They helped us throughout the hike and made sure we were having a good time. The entire team took care of every need and was very flexible. The hike itself should not be under estimated, it is hard work.

The Safari was absolutely incredible, we loved every minute of it and wish we could have done more. Davido was a great tour guide, and we'd recommend him to anyone - super attentive and catered to the type of adventure we were looking for. John Peter who helped us plan everything was so flexible and had abundant patience (trust me, I changed our Giraffe Manor booking 4 times). Thanks for this incredible experience!!

Our highest compliments to all involved in making our trip as memorable and as comfortable as it was …Our guide, Ian, could not have been better. He was always there when he said he would be and always made sure we were taken care of. He was an excellent driver- we never once felt unsafe and he handled very difficult roads in a highly professional manner. And as a guide he delivered us to the most amazing sights. In what seemed to be the endless bush, he found every animal we could have wanted to see … There was nothing about our trip that we would have changed even if we could. Thank you for making our time in Tanzania the best trip of our lives..

We successfully reached Uhuru peak with a wonderful team of Ungitours. Guides were professional and gave us all the information we need, guide us through this amazing mountain and took care of us at every second, even more the day of the summit. Porters were always with everything set up, so we found the camp ready for us. The meals... incredible and hot water every evening and in the morning . We found ourselves eating better than in town. I have no complaints. We even made the summit one day before and they arranged a whole day of activities for the day left. If you go with these guys, you have nothing to care about, just enjoy this amazing expedition they also help with the covid test.

I was impressed with Kili Peak from the day I contacted them enquiring about a private safari, they answered all our questions and together we created a great trip schedule. They are very transparent and made us comfortable about paying upfront. The trip with Markarot was an awesome experience, he was patient, caring and most importantly very a very experienced guide. He knew his way around the parks we visited – Arusha, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We manage to see lions, elephants, gazelles, cheetah, warthog, rhino, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, hyenas and many birds. We had comfort on the road and luxury at stopovers all thanks to Kili Peak.

The Lemosho Route is widely considered to be the best route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Not too long ago, there were only two main routes used to climb Kilimanjaro - the Marangu route and the Machame route. But as Tanzania's tourism industry flourished, the Kilimanjaro park authority created more trails to African's highest peak. Lemosho, a relatively new route, is preferred by reputable operators due to its beauty, remoteness and success rate. In short, it maximizes the chances that a climber will reach the summit, and enjoy the experience overall. The Lemosho route can be done in as little as six days on the mountain. However, it is ideally tackled over eight days for a better altitude acclimatization schedule. The trek begins at Londorossi Gate, located in the western base of mountain, within its lush, fertile rain forest. The route heads across the Shira Plateau, before circling along the southern circuit halfway around the mountain, exposing the climber to great views from all angles

I can hardly put into words how incredible our experience was with Masu, Aden and rest of the Top Climbers team. We were welcomed with open arms, felt like part of the family. The food was amazing, and varied special mention to Chef Daniel and Iddy our waiter. We bought lots of snacks and sweets to share with the crew which they were very grateful for, but trust me you don’t go hungry even if you don't bring your own with you. We chose to have a private toilet, which we didn’t at first think was necessary, but it is a lot nicer than venturing far away to the big toilets, and it also gives another porter a job. Our summit crew were Masu, Aden, Iddy, and Hashim. Each and every porter made a vast difference to our experience. Special mention to Elizabeth our only female porter! Safari with Chris was 4 days, 3 nights with mid range accommodation - an unforgettable experience. We got to know him very well and we made sure to include him in every conversation and every meal. He was so intelligent we could ask him anything and he knew what was happening in each national park. And we had a new safari vehicle compared to the rest at the parks. Coffee and Waterfall tour with our driver Oscar - a day trip that proved to be very interesting. We went to Hillborn Organic Coffee. We spent our time joking and getting to know our crews, they have so much love and honesty to give please be open with them you will enjoy your time so much more! There is a huge difference in the quality of booking with Top Climbers compared to the rest you will see along the way. Don’t forget cash to tip each person individually at the end and at the end of the hike you can give them any old gear. You will want to go above the recommended tip and give them the clothes off your back. Please, please, please book with Top Climbers you will have no regrets! And make sure to mention the names above for the BEST experience. Note we went in September 2019 not 2020
