Reviews of Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures

‘’Amazing Kilimanjaro Trek’’

My wife and I booked our Kilimanjaro trek through Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures in April 2021. We hiked the Lemosho Route over the course of 8 days and successfully summited Kilimanjaro before sunrise on the 7th morning. Our porters and crew were excellent as well as professional, our guide was accommodating and when we wanted to do a bit of additional exploration such as a hike up Cathedral and Shira Cave, it was no problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour operator to anyone interested in a Kilimanjaro adventure. They really cemented our Kilimanjaro trek experience as one of the best memories of our Africa trip!

Personalised, well-supported trek with a great team—just clarify toilet setup before you go

As a solo female traveller, I felt completely supported and safe throughout my private Kilimanjaro trek. Communication before the tour was friendly and responsive, and the service was highly personalised—from the moment I landed to my departure, the team ensured everything ran smoothly. My guide, Chuwa, was outstanding: experienced, wise and easy-going. The cook, Yusuph, prepared fresh, delicious meals every day, and the porters—Joseph, Ally, Alhaji and Issimail—were respectful, helpful and fun. One area for improvement would be clearer communication about a couple of things: 1) toilet options on the trail (they are latrines and can be quite dirty) and the option to get a private one; 2) recommended gear in advance; 3) that unless you state it, the eating tent is also the sleeping quarters of the porters, while this was not a problem for me, others might feel uncomfortable. Overall, it was a memorable and well-organised experience.

An unforgettable experience to the Roof of Africa

I couldn’t have chosen better organizers. My journey to the Roof of Africa was indescribably beautiful. My team — especially my guide Yusuph — was absolutely incredible. Everything around the climb went smoothly as well, from the straightforward booking process that accommodated all my wishes, to the airport pickup, hotel arrangements, and onward travel. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, and I’m truly grateful to have shared this adventure with Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures.

Outstanding service, particularly the food!

My sister and I had an amazing experience climbing Kili with Taste of Kili. They were professional and did a great job of taking care of us. The food on the trip was amazing and we were blown away by the service of the glamping trip.

Professionalism at its finest. Felt safe and supported at all times. Great value for money.

My experience with Taste of Kilimanjaro started before I reached Tanzania. The team was always there 24/7 to answer to my questions and listen to my concerns in the most attentive and professional manner. I didn’t have to worry about anything because everything had been covered and planned by them. As soon as I reached Tanzania, I was greeted by the most lovely team. Bryson (my guide) explained everything very thoroughly the day before the trek and made sure I had all the equipment I needed without trying to upsell me anything. Throughout the trek, my guide and his team made me feel safe and supported at all times. I have been camping and trekking for years but this time I felt like a total Queen. Everything was thought of in advance and Bryson went above and beyond to make sure I had more than I could ever ask. The food was incredible and so was my overall experience in the Killimanjaro mountain. Most importantly though I was impressed by the way I was treated from my guide, not as a client but as a dear friend. He genuinely cared about my wellbeing and he was professionally trained to respond to emergency situations which proved to be invaluable and was the reason I was finally able to summit. After sharing my experience with fellow trekkers, I realized how lucky I was to have chosen Taste of Kilimanjaro for my trek because I had the most amazing team. This was the experience of a lifetime and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature, adventure and trekking.

It's a quite experience to climb up to Mt.Kilimanjaro

It was not easy to reach the highest point, but if you have a nice guide to you can make it. My guide, Yisufu is the one who can make your dream come true. He understood my ability, so he walked very slowly, which was the key I succeeded in climbing up to the highest point, Uhuru peak. I really appreciate all stuff members who were very nice to me. I would like to say to especially Edwin, who took care of everything, "I was very lucky to have met you guys."

"Great tour operator"

I went with my wife on a Kilimanjaro trip organized by Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures. It was my first trip to Tanzania before then, I can only recommend this tour operator, we had a custom trip for a party of four. Very good guides, good equipment, good food and a great & squeaky-clean toilet every day, which is a great thing to have. I have been on many safari trips before, but I would only book with Taste of Kilimanjaro Adventures now.
