Best mountain guides in Kilimanjaro - We took a day hike to Kilimanjaro, reaching the first base camp, Mandara hut, at 2,700m via the Marangu Route. The entire experience was excellent, from the pick-up at our hotel in Moshi to the hike and drop-off at our next destination in Arusha. Despite the rain, it was a beautiful hike with amazing landscapes. We highly recommend our guides, Hamis Bakari and Elias Mvungi, who were professional and knowledgeable. We also want to thank Almas Bildad for the swift pick-up and drop-off. Asante sana, for the great experience!

Tranquil Kilimanjaro - Truly the best adventure trip I have taken... Tranquil's professionalism, logistics and domain expertise was extraordinary throughout our long Trek from the Park entrance to Kilimanjaro's summit. I struggle to remember a single encounter with any staff, porters, guides, servers or chef that did not impress me. Their continuous interest in our welfare and cheerful delivery of whatever should be needed rivaled a top tier hotel only in the middle of nowhere at 4000 meters above sea level. We started the adventure as strangers but 6 days hence we felt like family saying goodbye. Highly recommend Tranquil for anything Kilimanjaro.

Day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro - My family and I wanted to do a day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro and we had the the most amazing hike with Tranquil Kilimanjaro.From the efficiency from Charles who answered mails immediately in setting up the trip to the guides Ronaldo and Jerry and the driver Cyril who made the day one to remember. It is a full day trip including travel from Arusha .The hike is a fairly gentle one and the scenery is beautiful , we walked to the plateau and returned to stop for lunch at the overnight campsite where climbers and porters were arriving to set up camp .The lunch provided was excellent . The day spent walking with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background was worth every minute , we felt completely taken care of every step of the way.This is hike is really worthwhile and I highly recommend Tranquil Kilimanjaro to guide you Cathy
