Trip of a lifetime - This was without a doubt the best thing I have ever done in my life. The hike, mountain and reaching the summit was incredible but what made it truly special was our fantastic team of guides and porters, I will genuinely never forget them and their kindness to us, particularly to my husband when he got terrible altitude sickness. I was a bit apprehensive before we arrived as I haven't done anything like this before and haven't camped for years but I would do it again tomorrow if I could, our porters always picked the best spot in the campsite for us, we had so much amazing fresh food I could barely eat it all and Sebastian our main guide was always making sure we were drinking enough water, our pace was okay and kept us motivated blasting his radio on long uphill sections. I would recommend Nafika to anyone, Elias was amazing with the whole booking system, answering all my annoying questions on whatsapp within a few hours and he tailor made the trip to suit us all with two weeks notice of our arrival.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Adventure with the local people!! - Nafika Tours was professional and delivered everything they promised. We fully recommend using their services. Despite our thorough physical and mental preparations, nothing could replace the real experience, which turned out to be more challenging than we anticipated.
However, Nafika Tours put together a fantastic team of experienced professionals who truly cared for us. With a support team of 21 porters and guides, they reinforced our belief that we could reach the top. Head guide Eli is an outstanding guide and human being, who we trusted completely. He made us feel relaxed and confident by taking care of everything, including daily medical checks and providing much-needed mental support. A true leader and team player, Eli brought us safely to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and even carried my backpack when I felt unwell. At Uhuru Peak, he quickly took action to bring me down safely, ensuring my well-being.
Alongside assistant guide Tony, and with the support of cook Priva, waiter Frank, and all the porters, we felt almost as if we were lifted to the top. When we returned to base camp after successfully reaching the Roof of Africa, the team welcomed us with singing and cheers, which truly melted our hearts.
If we ever return to Tanzania to hike Mount Meru, we'll definitely work with Nafika Tours again and request this same team to join us on the journey.
Everything went according to the proposed travel plans. And be sure to add the flush portable toilet to your hike—it’s a small extra that will make your trek much more comfortable.
Thank you, Nafika Tours Team, for helping make our dream come true! Thank you, Tanzania! 🇹🇿

It's a lovely experience. - We walked the Machame Directions for 6 days and 5 nights. Everyone in the team was amazing and the food was delicious every day. Finally, we were able to reach the summit safely. The view from the summit was so beautiful that I will never forget it. I really appreciate the kind help of the Nafika team.

Kilimanjaro climbing and safari with Nafika Tours! - Just completed the Kilimanjaro trek and made it to the top – the Roof of Africa. It was quite a test, but definitely worth the effort. All that climbing requires serious preparation. You need to hit the gym and strengthen your legs. Also, ensure you have plenty of warm clothes, including rainproof outerwear, and an appropriate cold weather sleeping bag. High altitudes mean you should get the necessary medications as well.
My group of friends and I went with Nafika Tours. They never tired of all my questions before the climb. I highly recommend them for your trek. The guides were knowledgeable and very sympathetic to our needs, providing regular breaks to catch our breath, daily medical check-ups, and maintaining a good pace for our hike. They even had a chef to cook our meals. The porters were friendly and extremely helpful. Reaching the top with Nafika Tours, with motivational songs along the way to the summit, was an unforgettable experience.
Following the trek, Nafika Tours took us on several safaris to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Serengeti National Park. Our guide was excellent, consistently showcasing his knowledge and instincts. We saw so many animals and species, thanks to his patience in finding them. Our accommodations for the safaris were excellent too, with freshly baked bread daily and fabulous, plentiful meals.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours. Their experience and dedication to their work and region continually shine through.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro climb and Safari! - For those looking for an unforgettable Kilimanjaro expedition or safari adventure in Tanzania, I highly recommend Nafika Tours as the perfect choice.
We booked both a Kilimanjaro climb and a safari with Nafika Tours. Our experience on Kilimanjaro was fantastic, thanks to our two experienced and entertaining guides, Abdala and Willium. We took the 6-day Machame route and had a successful climb. During the trek, our cook provided us with three warm meals per day, which were surprisingly good most of the time. However, the public toilet situation might be challenging for some people, so opting for a private toilet could be a better option.
The porters, tent crew, and everyone supporting the climb worked incredibly hard to make our trip comfortable. Each time we arrived at a campsite, our tents were already set up, and our bags were waiting for us. The day of the summit climb was long and difficult, but our guides had extra support with us to ensure that we all made it to the summit successfully and safely.
After completing the Kilimanjaro climb, we embarked on a 4-day safari, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. If you plan to visit Serengeti, I recommend a minimum of 4 days for the safari. Our guide, Octavian, was funny and experienced, and thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big Five animals! The landscape in Serengeti and Ngorongoro is like what you see in movies and documentaries, but my personal favorite was the Ngorongoro Crater – don't miss it!
If you are considering Kilimanjaro climb and safari, Nafika Tours is the perfect choice. Thanks to Nafika Tours for organizing an awesome Kilimanjaro and safari tour!

Climbing Kilimanjaro with the best local Team - Our climbing journey along the Machame route was truly remarkable from beginning to end! Over the course of six days, we experienced an unforgettable adventure that tested our strength and endurance. I would recommend the six-day trek only to those who are physically fit and strong, as it can be quite challenging otherwise.
Every member of our team, including our guides, chef, and porters, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was exceptional. We were treated with utmost respect, and nothing was too much trouble for anyone.
Our guides, Justin and Albert, were outstanding. They led us to the summit and back without any issues of altitude sickness, allowing us to set our own pace during the descent. We also appreciated their insights into Tanzanian culture, which added depth to our experience.
Chef Jonathan amazed us with his culinary skills, providing us with a variety of delicious meals throughout the journey, despite the high altitudes. We even received a whole cake upon summiting, which was a delightful surprise.
Our team members, including camp manager Rizik, waiter Noely, summit porter Efath, and others, all played integral roles in ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the journey. We were particularly impressed by the porters' strength and speed in carrying our gear.
Nafika Tours is fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented team. I sincerely hope that everyone who hikes on this journey with them has an equally fantastic experience.
For anyone considering this climb, I highly recommend it. It's an adventure of a lifetime that you won't regret!

Highly Recommende Nafika Tours for your Kilimanjaro Hiking! - We stumbled upon Nafika Tours through a Google search while planning our Kilimanjaro climb, and it turned out to be a fantastic discovery. They were incredibly responsive to our emails, answering all our questions promptly and efficiently.
Not only did they arrange our accommodation in Moshi before and after the climb, but they also took care of our transportation to and from the airport. The day before our climb, we met our guide, William, who checked our gear and helped us rent jackets and sleeping bags.
Our group consisted of two climbers, supported by a wonderful crew of nine, including guides, a cook, and porters. The crew went above and beyond to make our experience memorable—they were highly professional, ensuring our safety while we marveled at the stunning mountain environment.
The climb itself was challenging, but the team provided endless support and encouragement. Jonathan, the cook, worked culinary magic, preparing delicious meals even at high altitudes. Despite facing various weather conditions, the team remained cheerful throughout the journey.
One standout aspect of Nafika Tours is their commitment to fair and ethical treatment of their porters. They ensure proper payment, provide comfortable sleeping tents, and serve nutritious meals during the hike. As a local company, all the money spent directly benefits the community, rather than going to an international middleman.
Overall, our experience with Nafika Tours was fantastic, and I highly recommend them for anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb.

Kiliamanjaro hike with Nafika , Everything was perfect! - Have you ever dreamed of climbing Kilimanjaro? Look to Nafika Tours for an unforgettable experience! Our 6-day trek on the Machame route was truly life-changing.
From my first contact with Elias, I felt reassured. Her friendly and knowledgeable guidance eased any worries I had about the climb. Our guides, Wilium and Albert, were true experts. They guided us through the terrain, answered all our questions patiently, and kept an eye on our health. Jonathan, our chef, amazed us with delicious meals filled with local flavors. Noel, our waiter, treated us like family, making sure we were comfortable at every camp.
The porters were incredible. They supported us, cheered us on, and even surprised me with a birthday cake at base camp! Summit day was unforgettable. With Wilium, Albert, and an extra porter named Sulupis, we reached the top, tears of joy mixing with the chilly wind. And to celebrate, they surprised us with another cake!
I want to thank the Nafika team for everything – for treating us like family, keeping us safe, and making our trip better than we ever imagined. Saying goodbye to our new friends was the hardest part, but it's not really goodbye, it's 'see you later.'
If you're ready for the adventure of a lifetime, choose Nafika Tours.

Best experience ever! Highly recommended! - We want to thank Nafika Tours for an amazing Mount Kilimanjaro climb! The staff made us feel valued and cared for from the start. The hotel was excellent, and the food was great. The day before our climb, the staff was on time, explained everything, and let us meet the group.
The guides were outstanding, explaining each day's events and setting a perfect pace. They checked our oxygen levels and heart rates to ensure we were ready for the trek. The porters, including the chef and his team, went above and beyond, providing hot meals, snacks, and hot water on request.
The team worked together seamlessly, ensuring our camp was ready when we arrived. The surprise birthday cake and champagne at over 14,000 feet were unforgettable! Thanks to Nafika Tours, our climb was a wonderful and professional experience. Nafika Tours is the ONLY way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro!

Best Kilimanjaro experience with Nafika Tours - Nafika Tours made our Mount Kilimanjaro climb awesome! The team – porters, guides, and chefs – were super friendly, kind, and helpful. They were just perfect, and we can't find any faults.
The admin team also rocked! They gave us useful advice about visas, transits, and hiking gear. They did everything possible to make our experience the best. The food was good, the tents were spacious and top-notch. The packing list was spot-on. If you want success on a Kilimanjaro hike, Nafika Tours is the way to go.
A big thank you to Nafika Tours for helping us summit Mt. Kilimanjaro!
