Avis sur Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures

Taste of K is defined by professionalism, heart, and the care of a truly personalized experience

I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro on my own, in just a few days and on a limited budget. After a lot of research, I chose Taste of Kilimanjaro and it turned out to be the perfect choice. Edwin helped me personalize my trip, always responding quickly and providing clear and detailed information. The team that accompanied me—a guide and four porters—took incredible care of me and made me feel like part of the family. They transformed what could have been a difficult adventure into one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Every member of the team went above and beyond to meet my needs, often before I even had to ask. Highly recommended, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly hope to see you again soon.

Edwin is very professional. The tour was perfectly well organized.

The experience was great. The team ( the porters, the cook and the guide) that went up the Kilimanjaro Mount with us were very competent and helpful. Taste of Kilimanjaro is totally recommended.

Heinz

Perfect, helpful and a joy to have dealt with.

I was nervous to book my trip with it being an investment however Wilfrid made it super easy and i've had few experiences as dealing with him and his company. They were helpful, thoughtful and paid huge attention to detail. I couldn't recommend these guys more! Fantastic!

Very professional , attentive and helpful

Taste of Kilimanjaro has been an amazing company. From the moment we requested information , they were very helpful and patient with our requests. Always willing to help and to make our experience unforgettable. The guides and their crew were phenomenal, and we managed to reach the summit in only 4 days. They truly cared about us. I didn’t have the climbing sticks , and the my provided me with a pair. Props to Edwin and his team!

Fantastic customized services and wonderful team!

We were greeted by Edwin from Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures upon arrival at Kilimanjaro airport. A team of 8 people, one head guide (Daniel) and one assistant guide (Joshua), porters, and a cook accompanied us throughout the entire 7-day ascent to the summit of Kilimanjaro and the descent. Fantastic teamwork, they provided personalized service, tailored to our needs. The mountain is not at all easy, but they made my 20-year dream come true smoothly and comfortably, despite the difficulties of camping and other activities. The 3-day Serengeti safari was also very satisfying; the driver, Frank, was very attentive and helpful with the information we requested and he knew the geography of the park very well. I highly recommend Taste of Kilimanjaro!!! A+!

Edwin was incredibly helpful and very attentive in helping the group navigate Tanzania.

Edwin was extremely helpful, responsive and attentive to the needs of our group. He made excellent accommodations with very thoughtful added extras that really made the trip especially nice and enjoyable for all those involved. Taste of Kilimanjaro has some of the most expert guides we could’ve hoped for. Up the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro our guide paid expert attention to us and was extremely supportive and good natured. The summit guide had exceptional experience, having summited over 400 times and knew exactly how to guide and motivate us to be our best and reach the top! The summit guide was basically mayor of the mountain, he had traveled so many times he knew every other guide, porter and chef and knew every nook and cranny of the mountain. Our safari guide was equally exceptional. With over 12 years of experience he knew every national park in Tanzania like the back of his hand. These parks are massive, consisting of dirt roads with little signage and he navigated them without hesitation. The safari guide was extremely familiar with the areas of the park, knowing the movement and territories of the animals and he used his expertise to show us all of The Big Five in only 3 days (plus a Cheetah)! Our safari guide was always one step ahead of all the other drivers in the park, knowing exactly the movement patterns of the animals to get is a front row seat to the action, we often found other drivers just following our Land Cruiser in hopes of seeing what we were seeing.

Exceeding our expectations in so many ways!

My father and I decided on an adventure in Tanzania. My father is 79 years old and this was a big dream of his. Our goal was to climb with a local tour company (as a lot of tours are owned outside of Tanzania). This particular tour company was recommended and we decided to book our trip. Our goal was to climb Kilimanjaro in 8 days on the Lomosho trail and then after the climb do a safari. Upon landing in Kilimanjaro, the internet at the airport crashed and we couldn’t get our visas for over three hours, our plane was already late an hour upon arrival. Edwin and Frank were patiently waiting for us outside the airport and greeted us with huge smiles and immediately we felt like we were in good company and would be well taken care of during our trip. Edwin set us up with our climbing team, with lead guide Chuwa, and assistant guide Stephen. They took us up the mountain with our 6 porters and cook Joseph. The food was awesome, home cooked and always wholesome ingredients, with many tastes of African home cooking. We had snacks and popcorn on the mountains for breaks. We were never hungry or thirsty the whole time. The service exceeded our expectations. Chuwa was a master leader on the mountain and he and his team got myself and my father to the summit. Coming down the mountain was a challenge for my father, and Chuwa’s team was amazing at helping him, beyond words and gratitude. My father had some medical complications after the climb and Edwin and Frank were there to help with grace and expertise in Moshi and Arusha. We managed a safari for one day and our guide was Hafidh was a professional at his task and answered all of our questions about Africa, the culture, the people, the animals, the trees and flowers, we tried to stump him, but couldn’t. I can’t recommend Edwin and his Taste of Kilimanjaro tour company enough or even thank them enough to get us through our trip safely with grace and kindness. If you’re thinking about this tour company you won’t be disappointed, they handled everything, the good and the bad. This will always be a lifetime achievement for myself and my 79 year old father. Thank you again, Edwin, Frank, Chuwa and Hafidh!

Professionell, very helpful and very quick in response

The porters, guides and all other guys work very quickly and professionell and all they do, they make it gladly. The cooker made a top job, better many cooker in hotels, and that with in the camp limited means. They are very friendly in all they doing. They do all for the clients to reach the summit.

Good organization

We can recommend a tour with Taste of Kilimanjaro. Edwin put a lot of effort into it and the organization worked very well. We were picked up on time at the border between Kenya and Tanzania and before the tour everything was explained to us well and we were helped to borrow the necessary clothes. Our crew was very helpful during the climb and we were treated like kings. After the tour, Edwin organized the onward journey to Mombassa for us. Thank you again for everything!

Very smooth and uncomplicated service.

Service was excellent and communication was easy. The company replied fast to every request. Airport transfer was included and the manager helped us with every question/request we had. Strongly recommend Kilimandscharo adventures!

Lukas

Professional service, that catered for all our needs.

The professional staff of Taste Kilimanjaro Adventures went out of their way to help, support and encourage us on this expedition. All the arrangements and planning that was done before our arrival in Tanzania was on par with any of the larger operators. From collecting us at the airport, booking us into a very nice hotel, inspecting equipment, to catering for us on the mountain, and ensuring our comfort, and looking after our health and safety all went seamless. This is truly a strong team with good values.

Amazing Experience. Highly Recommend!

My groups experience with Taste of Kilimanjaro was amazing. Edwin was our main point of contact for our group (of 5 friends) and we booked our combo Kilimanjaro 7 day and safari 4 day tour. He was very communicative, responsive, and accommodating. First we climbed Kilimanjaro. We were so lucky to be with Bryson (head guide) and his crew. Bryson has summitted Kili 400+ times and is the mayor of the mountain - everyone knows him. His experience really came in handy for my friends' medical issues from the altitude and I don't think one of my friends would have made it to the first summit without Bryson. He is extremely empathic and funny and we are so thankful for his presence and guidance. The rest of the crew was amazing as well. We had hot food everyday which we were surprised about and were impressed with the chef. Edie was a wonderful waiter. All of our stuff was ready when we got to the camps for the evening. The safari was an amazing, magical experience. Ibrahim was also super experienced as a safari guide, and that really does come in handy for finding and tracking the animals. He gave us photography tips and has the voice of James Earl Jones lol. The hotel accomodations were great. I really enjoyed the luxury tents in the Serengeti. That was a magical experience waking up in that setting! The pricing was excellent. I have recommended Taste of Kilimanjaro to friends that I've told about my trip and you need to pick Taste of Kilimanjaro for an excellent experience!

On top with Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures

In August 2023, my wife and I decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. When analyzing many travel companies, we chose Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures and were not mistaken! From pre-planning to boarding the plane after the tour, everything was organized at the highest level. The manager Edwin was in touch all the time and took into account all our wishes. We arrived in Tanzania through the Namanga land border with Kenya. Edwin personally met us at the border and took us to the hotel. The transfer was included in the price of the entire tour. Upon arrival at the hotel, everything was also done professionally: checking the available clothes and equipment, delivering and renting the missing equipment, exchanging money, buying a SIM card. Everything was organized very well. On the ascent, we were accompanied by the guide August, assistant guide Bariko, cook, assistant cook and porters. The correct pace during the ascent, good planning and excellent four meals a day (delicious soups, meat and fish dishes, fresh fruits, etc.) made it possible to climb to the top and descend from it without any problems. I was very surprised by the punctuality at all stages of the journey. Everything was always done without delay and at the same time without haste. Nobody demanded any additional unexpected surcharges. Eveyone is very friendly.

Professionally organized trip to Arusha National Park

Yesterday we (my wife and myself) went on a day-trip to Arusha National Park. (starting from Moshi). Getting information and making the reservation was done directly with the owner in perfect English via email and whatsapp messages. The day before the trip we even had a personal briefing in the hotel. The trip itself was organised in a very professional manner. Car was comfortable with the roof that opens lifting up in order for us to stand and have a 360° view and be protected from the sun. The included lunch package was very good, and diversified (..even with a piece of cake). The guide/driver had a lot of experience which made the safari a full success. We are very happy having selected the highly professional “Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures” tour operator.

Unforgettable experience in Africa

The company is small and this helps them to pay very personal attention to the client. Edwin is responding to my mails in hours and was very flexible to the changes that needed to be done in the program. I was lucky with the weather ( very important), my guide Bryson and the crew were doing everything so I feel comfortable. I highly recommend the team and next year will do a safari with them. Thanks Taste of Tanzania
