unforgettable experience on Mount Kilimanjaro - I did the 5-day trek along the Marangu Route and I highly recommend the guide Gewa, very competent, focused, experienced, patient and cheerful! If it wasn’t for him by my side encouraging me and saying the right words to me, I might not have been able to reach the summit. These were absolutely challenging and rewarding days! an experience that I will always carry in my heart! Kili Girl ❤️🇹🇿✨ Thanks for everything Gewa!

End your research- This Company is AMAZING! - First off if you are doing research in what company to go with I would say you will not regret choosing Kilinge Adventures. They exceeded all of my expectations and their prices are competitive compared to other companies. They were seamless and provided us with excellent service. Thomas answered all of my questions from the start and coordinated our safari and Trek.
Our team on the mountain was pivotal to our summit success. We are beginners and were worried about making it to the summit, and honestly I don’t know if we would have made it with a different team. Our group took care of us in every way. From nutritious food, hot water for washing, hot tea for our colder days, helping us with our day packs when needed, all the little thoughtful details were invaluable.
Our trek to the summit was challenging but our guide Eric and Tyson along with Edu for support that day really ensured we made it to the top. They were our pit crew every time we had to stop for a break they were right there with water, an extra layer, snacks, whatever we needed in that moment where all we could focus on was the next step.
I really mean we could not have summited without them.
To top it off when we reached the summit they blew up birthday balloons for me. WOW. It gets better…
I realized I lost my phone upon coming down from the summit, I thought for sure it was a goner and I’d have to make peace with the inconvenience of losing it. The entire team when out to go look for my phone, I was in tears with how helpful everyone was. To my amazement they were able to find my phone. Look no further these people will have your back, they sure had ours.
I can not thank this company enough. They made a dream come true! I will remember our group forever as they are now part of my life story.
Our porters took great care of our bags and nothing was ever wet despite heavy rains. I heard other hikers with different groups had some of their gear arrive wet. Our porters always had a smile on their faces despite the heavy loads they were carrying.
Our waiter Yahya was so hospitable, always had hot water for us, served our food, woke us up with coffee and tea, all these little things really helped us focus on the climb.
Our group was fun, knowledgeable, and spoke great English! This helped us pass the time on the trails by joking and sharing stories. Tyson was even a great singer!
Overall incredible experience! I hope to be able to climb with this group in the future!

6 days Marangu route. - 6 days Marangu route;
I have been home in Amsterdam for 3 days now. And wow 😍How beautiful Tanzania is 😍 I am grateful to Kilinge Adventures Mr. Thomas and his team for planning and organizing my 6 day climbing adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro. It was really fantastic/ amazing.😍In a group of 3 climbers and 6 Kilinge Adventures team we started our adventure. Route; The Marangu route is beautiful with lots of nature, challenge and this route gives you time to get used to the different heights. (!The climbing and descending is done along the same route) The guides Maneno and Prudence are knowledgeable, have knowledge of nature / environment, motivate and are experienced. She
Climb to the top weekly! They also check regularly (health-wise) how all participants are doing. The cooperation and communication between them is very good; for example; at all camps dinner was ready, the guides regularly informed their boss / owner Thomas how everyone in the group was doing. And after dinner we got the planning for the next day and how to dress etc...really everything
Well arranged. During this adventure, I only gained more respect for the team that helped us reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. (The team Kilinge adv; The guides, cooks, and porters and drivers) The entire team chosen / assembled by owner Thomas was well matched. Really everything was perfectly arranged for all of us. Oh and everything you don't have in terms of climbing equipment is for rent in Moshi itself. Once ready for your climb towards the UHURU summit, I hope you especially
enjoy the
people with their beautiful stories , listen carefully to your guides, listen carefully to your body, enjoy the walk in the beautiful surroundings and enjoy Tanzania . I am grateful for this beautiful experience! And I will definitely be back! Thank you team KILINGE Adventures 🙏🏿🙏🏿♥️ Judy Laurense

Once in a lifetime - We had such an incredible experience, it was one of the toughest and most rewarding things I've ever done.
We had limited experience with hiking, and there were frequent moments when we thought we wouldn't make it due to altitude sickness and injury but our incredible guides, Victor and Stephano, went over and above all our expectations to get us to the top. We never would of made it without their help. Even going so far as to piggyback my partner for kilometres on the decent due to an strain. The fitness of the guides and porters is incredible.
The chef made delicious large meals 3 times a day and our "waiter" who was responsible for helping us in camp was beyond amazing with his attentiveness getting us anything we might need, filling drink bottles, bringing us food even providing a hot water bottle for my partner on the freezing nights.
Overall blown away by how kind and professional the staff were, truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Bucket List Adventure - A bucket list vacation with Kilinge Adventures. Our guides Erick and Steve along with our porters, Fred, Julius, Edward and Tumarini. Our chef, Elia, and waiter, Richard were exceptional. They helped us summit Kilimanjaro hiking the Marangue Route. We couldn't have done it without them. Thank you guys. You're awesome!!! Hakuna Matata!....We then went on a safari. Our guide was Henry. A very nice man even though we had some communication issues. We were blessed to see the big five any many other animals. Asante sauna! Hakuna Matata!

Excellent Trek. Poor Safari. - Our six day Kilimanjaro trek with Kilinge Adventures was incredible with the utmost in outstanding customer service. Our guides, cook, waiter and porters provided extraordinary service and attention to our needs every step of the way. I was at the point of thinking this was the highest level of professional customer service I had ever experienced until...the Safari Guide. Our six day trek was followed by a four day safari. Our guide Henry who we were told by the Kilinge Owner, Thomas, had recommended the camps we were staying at, had no idea how to get to the camps. The first camp Henry took us to, we did not have a reservation resulting in getting to the second camp very late after Henry had to ask directions and made a wrong turn. Henry took the wrong road to the second camp and had to ask directions again noting the first road had been closed which is understandable but a guide (who recommended the camps) should know how to get there via a secondary route ahead of time versus getting directions. After the camp change at the first camp, I asked Henry if the balloon company knew about the change for the morning pickup the next morning. He said "Yes. Yes." Well the balloon company didn't know resulting in a 30 minute delay after we woke up very early for the scheduled pickup time. Henry blamed the balloon company though our driver told us no one had notified them. As a top notch company, the guide should have confirmed this himself and gotten up with the client to ensure the pickup occurred as scheduled. Next, Henry disappeared for nearly an hour while checking out of the Serengeti National Park leaving us sitting in the Land Cruiser. He later informed us he had to call the office to get proof of payment and Thomas told us "This is Tanzania."Henry stated "This happens a lot." Even in Tanzania if you know this happens a lot, send proof of payment with your guides. Next, though clearly in the document we were sent prior to the trip, we had to argue for dinner to be included the last night. As a client we should not have to argue for something that was clearly spelled out in advance. Next, our guide actually had a conversation with us about when to give him a tip. This is highly unprofessional and inappropriate. At one point, my wife asked Henry what type of place we were staying at and he responded with "Why?". I don't think a client needs to explain why they asked a question. Lastly, Henry seemed experienced as a driver but not as a guide. His knowledge of wildlife seemed limited. Once again as a guide one would expect the guide to have a wealth of information. I recommend this company for your Kilimanjaro hike but book with someone else for your safari.
