Rongai Route During April 2025 - Trip was well organized by the operator. Staff was excellent and did not rush us. The guides Musa and Mushi both were very helpful and cooperative. Attentive to what we needed and kept our challenges in mind. At the top I had almost had a fall out but with the right support I reached the Uhuru Peak. Overall 5 Star rating to them. Also the recommendation to take the Rongai route went well and we did not get heavy rains along the route except some light showers which was great.

One of the best experiences of my life - Climbing Kilimanjaro was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. Alex, Gabriel, Mushi and Farooq were superb guides. They were easy to talk to, fun to be around and very reliable. Bonnie and Marcel were the best morning support and Zacharia was definitely one of the best chefs on the mountain. Thank you to the whole team for making this journey such an unforgettable experience! Definitely recommend booking ZAFS for an adventure like this!

Excellent Kilimanjaro Trekking Experience! - Climbing Kilimanjaro with ZAFS was an unforgettable experience! From day one, the team felt like family—our guides were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, always making sure we were safe and motivated. The porters were absolute heroes, and the food was way better than I ever expected on a mountain! Summit night was tough, but with their encouragement, we made it to the top. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to share this journey with—highly recommend them to anyone looking to take on Kili!

Kilimanjaro Summit and Safari with Zafs - We had the amazing opportunity to successfully complete summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our trip was organized by ZAFS Tours, From the first day of arrival to departure from Tanzania, the support from experts of Zafs were outstanding. Our private group of six was supported by a phenomenal team of 24 experienced ZAFS crew, led by well experienced guides Gabriel, Frank and Denis. They were all incredible. All supporting crew were very hardworking and cheerful. Their commitment was awesome ensuring our health, safety and security. We highly recommend Zafs tours and guides Gabriel, Frank and Denis for anyone who would like to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. After our successful climb, we extended our adventure with a three-day safari organized by ZAFS. Safari included Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. experience at Ngorongoro was just as seamless and memorable, encountered incredible wildlife, and stayed at comfortable, well-chosen lodges. Note: I suggest 2 days Serengeti and 1 day Ngorongoro safari for 3 days instead of Tarangire and Lake manyara.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Experience with Zafs Tour! - Climbing Kilimanjaro with Zafs Tour (Feb 17–24) was an adventure of a lifetime! I joined group of strangers as a solo traveler, but by the end, we were a team—laughing, supporting each other, sharing life stories and pushing through the highs and lows together. Before setting out, I saw this trek as a purely physical challenge—one that would test endurance, strength, and determination. But looking back, what truly stands out isn’t just the climb itself—it’s the people. The guides, the team, my fellow trekkers… the conversations, the laughter, the quiet moments of encouragement. The beauty of the landscape was undeniable, but the real magic was in the human connections. From day one, we exchanged stories—not just about trekking but about our cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Coming from different countries and backgrounds, we found ourselves learning from each other in the most unexpected ways. And beyond that, we immersed ourselves in Swahili culture, picking up words, understanding traditions, and sharing in the warmth and humor of our guides and Kilifighters. A trek like this isn’t just about the mountain—it’s about the people who get you to the top. And I couldn’t have asked for a better team than Alex, Moshi, Gabriel, and Farouk. They weren’t just guides; they were motivators, protectors, comedians, and friends. Their energy was contagious, their support unwavering, and their knowledge invaluable. Whether it was keeping spirits high with jokes, checking in on us with genuine care, or sharing their incredible knowledge about the mountain, they were the heart and soul of the experience. No matter how tough the climb got, they never stopped believing in us—even when we started doubting ourselves. And somehow, they made a seemingly difficult journey feel like an adventure, not just a challenge. Massive thanks to all the Kilifighters—true superheroes. Their hard work, strength, and dedication made this journey possible. What they do is nothing short of extraordinary, and I am filled with admiration and gratitude for them. And then there were Boni and Marcello—the unsung heroes of our daily routine on the mountain. They became our main connection to the rest of the team beyond our guides, our constant companions, our daily dose of laughter, and our Swahili teachers along the way. Waking up to their sweet “tea or coffee?” and warm smiles made even the coldest mornings feel special. Their kindness, humor, and constant care made this journey not just easier, but truly joyful. Always checking in, always ready to help, always lifting our spirits—having them by our side this whole week was a gift, and I will always be grateful for the warmth they brought to this journey. A special mention to Eric, whose quiet strength and kindness never went unnoticed. Whether it was a small gesture or simply his genuine care, he made the journey feel a little lighter in more ways than one. A truly sweet soul who embodied the spirit of support and camaraderie that made this trek so special. In sum, Kilimanjaro is breathtaking, but what made this journey truly unforgettable was the people. The landscape was stunning, but it was the smiles, the conversations, and the shared moments that made it extraordinary. This allowed us to focus on the experience rather than the challenges. That last stretch to the summit was brutal, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have made it without their support, motivation, and sheer determination to see us all succeed. I will never forget this experience or the unwavering support we were given throughout. Asante sana, team Zafs ! 💛🏔️
