Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures Reviews 75

I did a private Kilimanjaro climb via the Lemosho route with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures.
Team size: 1 guide, 1 cook, 5 porters.

Why I recommend them:
• Professional and responsible guide
• Personal attention during the whole trek
• Good food and logistics
• Safe acclimatization plan
• Successful summit on February 5

Very reliable company.
I would choose them again.

We had a great time climbing Kilimanjaro via the 8 day Lemosho route with the Kilimanjaro heroes adventures team. From our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport to dropping us back off, the entire team made us feel extremely welcomed! Their professionalism, friendliness and skill allowed us to reach our goal of the summit. Our guides, Paramba and D’Clea, always made a point to check how we were feeling throughout our journey and ensured we felt comfortable at all times. The effort from our guides and their team of porters was outstanding - our camp was always set up for our arrival with an array of coffees, teas etc and plenty snacks to keep us going. The meals throughout our time climbing were always excellent and the morning ‘bed tea’ was always well received. Communication with head office over WhatsApp was always very punctual and informative. We had an experience of a lifetime and would 100% recommend Kilimanjaro heroes adventures!

We climbed Kilimanjaro with KILIMANJARO HEROES ADVENTURE LTD using Marangu route-6days. We've had an amazing time and our guides(Emanuel &Robert) are top notch professionals guided us to the top; Everything was amazing from start to the end.
I strongly recommend them for anyone who want to climb Kilimanjaro.
Thank you guys!! you are the best!
PS money we paid for is also on the affordable side.

We booked our combo Kilimanjaro hike (Machame route, 7 days), and safari (5 days in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro), using Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures.
From the very beginning, Evarist was extremely patient and available: he communicated for a few weeks via whatsapp to discuss our needs and desires. He planned for us two weeks climbing Kili and doing a safari. He was always available to provide clarifications, suggest what to pack, how to prepare, and so on.
We discussed hotel and lodge options, discussed possible swaps and upgrades in the accommodations where possible.
As this was our honeymoon, Evarist made sure to give us the best treatment, with small perks and surprises here and there.

Our mountain guide (Emanuel, accompanied by Robert), picked us up at the airport, showed us where to exchange money, accompanied us to the hotel, did a gear check, and supported my wife in finding a pair of decent hiking boots, as hers broke on the way. We had a one day hike at Materuni waterfall, where we also experience coffee and traditional food of the Chagga people. Emanuel shared facts and trivia about Tanzania and life there, giving us a first introduction into the country we were getting to explore.

During the 7 days hike, we experienced “all the colours of Kili”, from rain to sun and snow at the summit. The guides taught us a lot about the country and their life there, making the hikes very pleasant and relaxed.
At camp, the whole crew was always very friendly and available, taking care of us and making sure everything was always on point. Food was plenty and delicious (kudos to Mama Africa, or Sahidi, our chef). The evening medical check was a moment to reflect on the day and assess our state and how our bodies were adapting to the altitude and the efforts. On summit day, Emanuel and Robert helped us during the long and tiresome night hike, supporting us mentally and physically, pushing us to reach the summit on a splendid sunny morning.
After we got our certificates, shared a toast and some singing, we were taken back to our hotel, where soon after our safari guide (Jamal) came to brief about the logistics of the upcoming safari.

We spent the next 5 days roaming through natural parks, learning about the Tanzanian fauna and spotting all the big 5 as well as plenty more animals. Every morning, we would start between 5 and 7AM our game drive with the precious help of our trusted guide.
Jamal allowed us the highest degree of flexibility, accommodating early departures and long days on the jeep, with plenty of stops to take in the endless sceneries of Serengeti, always looking for ‘hints’ to spot rare animals. His company and expertise made the trip adventurous, instructive, and rewarding.

We can highly recommend the company, the guides, and the whole crew! We were provided amazing accommodations, cheerful and knowledgeable guides, great food, and small attentions (such as a “just married” flag to take pictures with at the summit of Kili, bottles to celebrate, and many more tiny things) that made the holiday truly unforgettable!

I spent 4 days in Tanzania with Kilimanjaro Heroes, and I can recommend the company everyone. I visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. I found that it is the minimum time required to experience the Safari feeling, and it is undouptedly worth taking a week tour. Our guide, Honest, was a real pro with true passion, and spotted without a problem animals, where we couldn’t and explained a lot about what to look and how. Our “belly doctor” Chef Severin turned every day into a dream, where we felt like a king. We were taking the camping option, but it was much more convenient than we expected, and was very comfortable. I had certain fears before the trip about mosquitos and snakes and pick up at the airport and so on, but they turned out to be completely unfounded. The whole organization was very professional and most satisfying.

I just wanted to share my amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro—truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! It was definitely challenging, but the support from the guides and crew made all the difference in helping us reach the summit.

A huge thank you to Solomon, Busbusa, Michael Jackson, and Moady. They were incredible throughout the trip, always making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Big thank you to the rest of the porters as well.

The only downside was the tipping situation. When booking, you agree on a set rate, but once you’re there, the guides expect a lot more, which can feel a bit uncomfortable—even when tipping above average.

Aside from that, the safari was fantastic, and Henry was such a great guide—super knowledgeable and a really lovely person.

Thanks again for an unforgettable experience!

Our safari in Tanzania with Kilimanjaro Heroes was nothing short of spectacular! The trip was perfectly organized, leaving no detail overlooked. From the very beginning, Evarist tailored the entire experience to suit our needs, understanding exactly what we wanted and ensuring every moment exceeded our expectations.

The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly our guide, Mr. Mbise, who is hands-down the best guide you could ever hope for. His deep knowledge, passion, and warm personality made the adventure truly unforgettable.

The safari itself was absolutely sensational – the landscapes, wildlife, and overall experience left us in awe.

Highlights:
- Mr Mbise’s favourite samosas
- cheetah and cubs dining with a gazelle
- hyenas dining with what’s left
- baby cheetas, baby lions and baby leopards
- elephants surrounding the jeep
- giraffes looking at the jeep from above
- record number of cheetas spotted
- lions caught uncensored in during honeymoon intimacy
- zebras and wildbeasts everywhere
- more zebras and more wildbeasts

If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Kilimanjaro Heroes is the team to trust. Highly recommended!

Amazing adventure and experience with Kilimanjaro Heroes! The entire team made it possible for us to climb Kilimanjaro which was quite challenging. We couldn’t have found a better team, support and group. This is a local company supporting locals as well. Strongly recommend it.

As part of our honeymoon, my wife and I decided to climb Kilimanjaro.

I reached out to a couple of companiess, as we wanted to do the Umbwe route, and we wanted to do it quicker than most.

Evarist from Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures provided the best solution, responding quickly to all my many queries. He provided a great price and a bespoke package.

Our guide, Dominic, picked us up at the airport and gave us a thorough briefing. The next morning we met the rest of this incredible team. Our porters, and chef, and another guide Joshua. We hadn't expected such an entourage.

We had a few fantastic days with the team climbing, they were knowledgable, professional, and by the end of it - friends!

The tents and equipment were amazing, the food was unbelievable and plentiful (thanks Roger!), and they were happy to plan around us, keeping going when we weren't tired and allowing us to push to the top!

We reached the summit in a total whiteout, we wouldn't have been able to do it without the amazing guiding from Joshua and Dominic. Just brilliant.

If we're ever back in the area - this will be the company I choose.

Thanks Evarist and team, and thanks Dominic, Joshua, and the whole crew - we miss you!!!

Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures is an amazing company! Me and 2 friends embarked on an amazing safari organised by Kilimanjaro Heroes. The process was easy and flexible. Evarist and his team made sure to answer any questions we had, provided support throughout the booking process and gave us great recommendations and tips. Both the guide and chef were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was pleasant.

Once we arrived in Arusha we had our wonderful guide pick us up and the journey started. In 4 days we travelled through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and it was an incredible experience - especially at the hands of Kilimanjaro heroes and our amazing guide.

On Day 1 we entered Tarangire National Park, a beautiful park well known for the presence of many elephants. It was a great park although a little more crowded than others we visited. The picnic area, where we had lunch was spectacular and had views of the Tarangire river in the distance, where you could see elephants bathing and drinking. Lunch on day 1 was very tasty and the chef was very friendly and professional - he checked with us regularly to make sure we were happy with the food. For day 1 we ate dinner and stayed overnight at a lodge in a triple room, the accommodation was great, clean and amenities were amazing (pool, garden areas, restaurant area, etc.) Overall this day was amazing and a truly great start to our safari adventure.

On Day 2 we moved towards Serengeti National Park via 2 viewpoints: Lake Manyara Viewpoint and Ngorongoro Crater Viewpoint. We also stopped at a local Masai village where we stayed for around 30-40 mins to learn about Masai culture. After several hours of driving we arrived at the first entrance of the Serengeti National Park where we enjoyed our lunch again the food was great and the chef came to make sure everything was perfect. After our pleasant meal we began driving deeper into the Serengeti heading towards our campsite (in the middle of the Serengeti). On this drive we spotted many animals and it was a great drive as we watched the sunset and spotted animals in the more baron area of the Serengeti - it is truly astonishing to see how vast and baron this place is. For our dinner and overnight stay we were camping in the Serengeti, truly an incredible experience. This day was amazing and the sunset was incredible.

On Day 3 we started really early in the morning and continued exploring the Serengeti, this time visiting a more lush part of the Serengeti, with small pockets of “oasis” like environments with hippos, crocodiles, etc. We continued searching for animals and spotted a family of lions sitting under a tree. Surrounded by the savannah, elephants in the background, lions 2-3 metres from us it was one of the most incredible sights I have ever witnessed. We drove back to our campsite to collect our belongings and have lunch before heading to our next stop, Ngorongoro. We drove directly to our camping on the crater rim where we were greeted by some friendly zebras, grazing on the grass around our tents. We then enjoyed dinner and got some rest at our new camping. Day 3 was truly amazing and one of my favourite days, even though we spent a lot of the day travelling from Serengeti to Ngorongoro.

On Day 4 we also started quite early and headed to the crater which was a short drive away from the camping. We drove through the crater and spotted thousands of animals, the landscapes and wildlife at this park are truly breathtaking. Since we started early and had a good 5-6 hours of game drive we drove back to our campsite for lunch before packing up and heading to Kilimanjaro airport (our departure point). Our guide accompanied us to the airport and made sure we had all our luggage. This day was by far the most amazing as this national park is incredible - the amount and variety of wildlife we were able to spot was astounding and thanks to our guide we managed to spot many hidden/camouflaged animals.

I highly recommend travelling with this company, we really enjoyed the experience and we really noticed this company was superior to others we were seeing on the road. Both in the quality of the vehicles and in the quality of driver guides and chefs. We were always pleased to see our guide was one of the first to spot amazing wildlife and he went above and beyond to make sure we got a good spot for pictures and observation. Our chef consistently delivered delicious food which looked far better than some other groups that were staying at the same camping.

Overall a 10/10 recommendation, I truly hope you decide to book with Kilimanjaro Heroes and get to experience the northern circuit like me and my 2 friends did.

We did the 8 day Northern circuit route up Mount Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Heroes and they were brilliant start to finish. Communication when we were looking at booking and up to arrival was seemless. The hotel in Moshi was as described, they met us the day before the hike to go through everything and were really helpful. Our guides were David and Sirily, they were both great, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable so you’d be lucky to get these guys. Our chef was Kadri and the food was really good, we were pleasantly surprised! All our porters (Brian, Mustafa, Innocent, Edwin & Otto) were always there to go above and beyond and help us out and we definitely wouldn’t have made the summit without this team! All the equipment supplied was of good quality, trek as a whole was reasonable priced and worth every penny. I honestly have nothing negative to say about my experience with this company, thank you!

One of the best experiences we ever had in our lives. They made sure everything went smoothly and were very well prepared for any situation. All the guides/porters/cooks we had for the Killimanjaro hike and the safari were sooooo nice and friendly. It is also one of the few local companies, so if you want to support a local business definitely choose Killimanjaro Heroes Adventures.

I completed a 7 day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures.
They are a small company with plenty of expertise in dealing with everything that might occur on Africa's highest mountain.
It was an amazing adventure, tough at times, but totally worth it!
The team that helped me make my dream come true were all fantastic, always upbeat, with great morale & a smile.
My guide, Gasper, helped me so much. He explained everything to me in a way that put me at ease, he guided me with great knowledge, always with high morale & he shared loads of interesting information throughout the trek.
The rest of the team were great, the cook, the day-to-day assistant & the porters all made me feel welcome & full of positivity.
I would recommend Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures to any small group who want to take on this incredible challenge.

I am a solo female trekked the 6 days Machame route. Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures made my trek so smooth and accomplished. The team of porters waiter cook and guide were helpful and professional. They supported me both mentality and physicality. I highly recommended because of their service mild, value for money and trustworthy teamwork.

Wonderful experience with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures team!! We recently did Uhuru peak in 9 days via Northern Circuit followed by 2 days safari (Tarangire National Part & Norongoro Crater). Team is very professional having relentless attention to all necessary details in order to keep you safe, comfortable and satisfied. Worth mentioning is their ability to tailor any trip to your needs and budget. Nothing to be worry about. Everything was perfectly organized by them. Top class !!
We fully recommend them from very high service quality level and support given during our 2 weeks in Tanzania. Many thanks to our guides Saby & Siza, cook Mark, great porters and fantastic safari guide and driver Vendeza 😊

So, asante sana to Evarist and his great team !

We are delighted with the Trek and Safari organized with the agency Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures
We made the Ascension by the Lemosho route in private with 3 people, which meant that we were a team of 15 people: 9 porters, 2 guides, 1 cook. We will keep a memory engraved for life.

Our 2 guides MTEY and Christopher were fabulous, professional, dynamic, friendly, happy 😀
MTEY who speaks in impeccable French has a lot of knowledge - especially on the flora - to share during the Ascension
Porters Gilbert, Cassim, Livingstone, Declare, Daniel, Benard, Victor, Bahati, Peter are devoted to an unimaginable point. Juma the cook concocted fabulous meals for us.
The goal of the whole team is to make you have the most exceptional time possible and to get you to the top.
In addition we were lucky to have good weather during the seven days, except for one or two hours of light rain.
The nights are cool: 7° in the tent and below 0° outside. With a good insulating air mattress and a good sleeping bag this is manageable.
For a slightly trained and athletic person, the Ascension is not very physical

The organization of the Ascension and the Safari was very good and very smooth. For my part, the many contacts concerning the organization were made by WhatsApp with Evarist. A completely personalized program was agreed with him.
All guidelines were followed.
Everything we had agreed on regarding the terms of payment was also respected.
In addition Evarist was very responsive every time I asked him a question about the organization

In summary, a great agency to recommend with eyes closed

My son and myself did the 7 days to Kilimanjaro through the Machame route. The 'Heros' team was amazing! They took care for any needs! The food was very good and more than enough (thanks to the Chef Mayoo!), the Guide Rama was Super! Explain every day what we expect for the next day and what we are going to pass through, and what to take with us. He walks in the right pace per our needs and his great experiance. The service in the mornings and all days by Muhamad Ali was state of the art. The porters did amazing job, wow!Once a Hero always an Hero - We made it to the Top just few Min before the Sunrise as plan, Amazing !! Thanks our good friends, already missing you, Matan and Avi

Frankly it was a very nice experience both during the ascent of Kilimanjaro and for the safari
Everything is very professional
Very nice atmosphere of the porters and guides thanks to Evarist their boss who has treated them very well for years
They listened every day prepared us to eat very good things even in too large quantities yum yum
A great kindness everything was perfect and do not recommend warmly thank you

I went to climb the Kilimanjaro on December with the agency Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventure, who was always attentive and accommodating, during the climb or during the organization of the trip.

Guided by a fantastic team who did absolutely everything for me to reach the top, I felt perfectly well and I never missed anything. The guys were incredible, as the chef Abu, who made me some delicious and hearty vegetarian meals every day.

I will never forget the time spent with my guide Goodluck, who knows the mountain like the back of his hand. We spent all day with chatting, sharing cultures and laughing, it made for unforgettable moments.

I lived a real human adventure with them, surrounded by incredible landscapes. If you're looking for a local agency, that listens and takes care of you and manages his porters correctly, KHA is for you.

I have traveled with this company twice and both experiences were 5 star. My first experience I was with one friend and went on a 2 day safari to Tarangire and a day trip to the hot springs. The guide was knowledgeable of the animals and the national park. The hot springs were relaxing and lunch was provided during our visit. The staff were attentive to our needs and were enjoyable to have around.

My second experience was with 3 friends. We booked a 2 day safari and explored both Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Both destinations were absolutely beautiful and once again the guide did not disappoint with his expert knowledge of both locations. Ourselves and our Guide Evarist had a ton of laughs on this trip and it made for a truly memorable experience. Our camping arrangements and food provided both exceeded our expectations. After Safari we headed to the hot springs for our day trip. Once again lunch was provided and we relaxed throughout the day by the Springs.

I would 100% recommend booking with this company. The company is communicative throughout booking and your stay in Tanzania. This is a great value for the price they offer tours and safaris. They not only go above and beyond but they are also a local Tanzanian Company.
