Amazing bucket list vacation with an amazing company. We went on an 6 day safari with guide Chris. Saw every animal, stayed in great accommodations, ate wonderful food and had the time of our lives. Could not recommend Kilisa's safari more. Following our safari, we embarked upon a Kilimanjaro trek along the 7 day Lemosho route with guides Rama and Bacari and crew. Everyone was so FRIENDLY and catered to our every need (lots of needs at 15k+ feet). We successfully summited and don't think we would have without the Kilisa team looking after us. Unforgettable trip that really lifted our spirits after no traveling due to global pandemic. Everyone in Tanzania is kind, warm and welcoming. The team at Kilisa is no exception. Please consider Kilisa and guides Chris, Rama and Bacari on your safari and trek!

It is known as the “Coca Cola route” – the Marangu route is one of the most popular routes leading to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Many hikers believe that the Marangu route is the easiest route to Uhuru peak, since it is the route which can be hiked in 5 days (making it a lower budget option). It is also the only route offering accommodation on the mountain, in the huts in each station. It is, unfortunately, a well-known fact, that the 5 days Marangu route has the lowest summit success rates of all the routes on the mountain. If you choose the Marangu route, we strongly recommend hiking for 6 days, to increase your chance to reach the summit successfully as more time on the mountain allows a greater chance for altitude acclimatization.

The Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on various sides of the mountain. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low crowds, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate. Most of clients climb Kilimanjaro using this route and they consistently report that they loved it. it approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west. The first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower. . Descent is made via the Mweka route. Burigi Chato Safaris® offers Lemosho as an 8 or 7 day climb. The seven day variation combines days five and six, going from Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp without staying at Karanga. A nine day variation that includes an overnight at Crater Camp is available as a private climb by special request.

We stayed at the serengeti for two nights and it was a very good experience. Couldn't see the big five as it was a huge area (14000 sq km) . We saw a pride of lion of 22 in a group with its cubs , a lot of Cape buffalos and also elephants but from a distance and not many. We couldn't see leopards . Rhinoceros have been kept in a special place in special place because of poachers etc so have to take special permit in advance to see them . We also saw a lot of wilder beest, zebras and impala , warthogs . We also did balloon safari through tanzania miracle experience and it was an amazing experience as it was our first time. The captain of our flight was Jason Addams and he had a great sense of humour and he explained everything so nicely . The landing of the balloon was also very smooth and the service they gave in breakfast after balloon ride was also great as all the staff were polite and respectful .

We had the best time on our 3 days safari tour with Budget Safaris. We went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. The communication with Gilbert and the staff was easy and quick response. Very helpful and able to make last minute changes. Richard was our driver/guide. He was very knowledgeable, drove safely, we had a great time with him. He did his very best to find animals we wanted to see. We saw tons of animals, about 6 lions, big heirs of elephants, zebras, giraffes, hypos, wildebeests, crocs, flamingos, etc. The accommodations were perfect. Nice big tents, well located. Food was good too, plenty food and water. The jeep was a little old but worked without problem. We had an amazing experience and would most definitively recommend it. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you to everyone at Budget Safaris Tanzania, special thank you to Richard!

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

7. Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route 6 Days

Rupia Adventure

The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and moderate. Only the approach to the summit is the exception as it is slightly more demanding. The accommodation on this tour is in simple mountain huts, which might be an advantage compared to the camping routes.

The guides were very good at findingg animal although the quality of the cars should be better. Some accomodation were not amazing but for the prices we paid we couldt ask for sthg better. At first we had a small problem with the manager because he wanted we paid more money than we agreed because we wanted to pay in euros but finally we resolve the problem. Sharing a safari was other people was a great experience

9. 7 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climb - Marangu Route

VIRUNGA ECOTOURS

At 19,340 feet (5,895m) Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa...The base of the mountain is nearly 50 miles (80km) long and 25 miles (40km) and contains three peaks in various stages of erosion...Shira on the west side, Mawenzi on the east and Kibo in the center...The youngest peak, Kibo, is covered by three large ice fields and is the location of the highest point on Kilimanjaro... . It has a well defined path, which has been well set out and where most obstacles have been modified to make them 'climber friendly'. Accommodation on this route is in purpose built mountain huts providing adequate shelter and even bottled water, beer and soft drinks ( at high altitude prices!). Despite the human traffic (it can be fun to mingle with climbers from all over the world), this is a very scenic route with good views of Mawenzi and excellent prospects for viewing wildlife.

Just coming back from 5 days safari booked with Emnel Adventures. It was a mind blowing experience all through. Booking experience very individualized have done also research and suggested things and Nelson who is handling the travel proposals allways very nice and took my input into account. If he thought something else better he told me. Allways had feeling that he wants the best experience According to my wishes. I changed mind / dates etc several times he allways stayed calm and changed travel accordingly. The safari was absolutely exceeding expectations. Already the welcome at the airport with 3 men and nice table / coffee / tea and snacks to introduce the tour. Nelson was there for the welcome and my tour guide Rahim and as a surprise my personal photographer Abisae. I went then on 5 days trip / 4 nights on safari with Rahim and Abisae. Rahim studied tourism and has an education in safari tours and 20 years experience and this you feel he know everything on animals why an animal looks like it looks, how They live etc and he has the experience to see and find where the animals are. I practically saw all important animals, the big 5, giraffe, chitos, migration etc and all very close. Also it is a luxury to have my own photographer with me, Abisae has a professional camera (it turned out mine wasn’t that great for safari) that actually I only used my iPhone for pictures as I knew I will get good photos from Abisae from the animals and myself. He was very patients and took pictures of the animals and myself in all sort of positions. Great pictures! So happy that I have professional pictures from this amazing 5 days. I felt like a princess both very attentive lunches in nice sceneries great with beers and wines offered. Other groups had lunch boxes we a really meal in comfy chairs. Hotels perfect as expected. Was quite sad after the 5 days to leave the 2 guys. The safari for me Was every penny worth it and you need to feel yourself how it feels and I can 100% recommend Emnel Adventures with Nelson and my Tour guide Rahim and Abisae. Was all perfect experience. Usually I do not write TripAdvisor reviews. But this experience was so good that I would like also that others can do these experiences as well. Happy to also answer any questions if you have. After the trip I lost all my credit cards and Nelson called all airlines, airports, hotel baloon agency etc to try to get them back even offered to rent me money to bridge till I have my new card. Even thinking to do another safari in a couple of years and of course would allways go again with Emnel Adventure Thank you to Nelson, Rahim and Abisae for this unforgettable experience
