- Our crew of guides are really good people and we really enjoyed their guiding of us to Kilimanjaro for a day trip with the Marangu route. We only ended up in the rainforest and we enjoyed our day trip. Michael tells us a lot about Kilimanjaro wildlife and tanzania culture, he answers all of our questions perfectly.
I recommend this tour for a day trip on Kilimanjaro.

Educated, funny and very interesting day in Kilimanjaro. - Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa, we are not really good at hiking, but we wish we could do that for more than a day, but I come across to know that is not such difficult I was thinking and not only myself but also the we had the best guide for Kilimanjaro Michael who told us a lot about the experience. If we had contact with Songbirds safaris before I'm really sure we can make it to the top, and this we will come next time and make sure we will conquer Kilimanjaro with Tanzania songbirds safaris to Uhuru peak.
But very happy to have the decision to book this tour with Tanzania Songbirds Safari that courage us and take care for us for the entire time of our day trip Via the Marangu route, within only 4 hours and 43 minutes we make to Mandara hut which is about 5 Miles from the entrance gate of Kilimanjaro.
We enjoyed the weather and we felt something to touch and walk in the land of Kilimanjaro with a majestic guide.
The company arranges all in good organisation from the pickup and drop-off, the water for drinking and our lunch that we ate in the first camp and Maestro guide (Michael).
I can't recommend them enough but you should trust this company and make a book with them for a memorable Kilimanjaro Trip.

Once a lifetime of my climbing of Kilimanjaro - Good route (Marangu or known as coca-cola route). The great guide, well attention, very detailed and higher experience they are mountain guides.
We are a little bit older people and one of our dream is to try Kilimanjaro and see how is exactly look like, by the chance that we visited Tanzania, we booked the single day trip to Kilimanjaro and finally we made it and we'll thanks for our all crew that help us to hike Kilimanjaro for a single day.
I would like to say, if you are considering and think for climb Kilimanjaro, this is a right company and have right people for your journey.

Good route for Day trip of Kilimanjaro Mountain - The day trip is super cool, Lameck our guide came to pickup at our hotel early in the morning (Four Points by Sheraton). He also recommended us what to wear and what is important to bring for a day trip on Kilimanjaro. With the driver (Simon) they drove us to the Marangu gate that we registered there and started our hike, the experience is nice and Lameck makes it even better for his deep knowledge about Kilimanjaro and his years of experience for climbing Kilimanjaro. We ascended and descended safety and we got care from Lameck who is always after us. With the driver again they drive us back to Arusha until our hotel.
Thanks so much again Lameck and Simon for making a good day for us.

I am very proud to take this tour - Jose and Michael were exceptional mountain guides.
They are very knowledgeable, professional and genuinely passionate about Kilimanjaro, culture and wildlife in general. This young man has calm expertise and is knowledgeable about Plants making the day trip to our Kilimanjaro unforgettable. They worked seamlessly as a crew and team, a lot of fun, adventure and gave us a good education about our destination. Tanzania Songbirds Safaris planned this trip well and made the experience feel both personal and magical in the foothills of Kilimanjaro.
Highly recommended!
