Fantastic Trip with Nafika! - I just returned from doing the Lemosho Route with Nafika Tours, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Our lead guide, Inocent , and assistant guide, Efata, were absolutely wonderful. We will always be grateful to them and the entire team for helping us reach the summit. There were moments when we felt we couldn’t go any further, but their encouragement and support gave us the strength to keep going.
The food and camping equipment were excellent, and we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip, even while being on the mountain. We also had daily medical check-ups, which made us feel safe and reassured for each day’s hike.
The whole team was so friendly, cheerful, and genuinely happy in their work. It was clear to us that they really love being a part of Nafika Tours.
After the climb, we also did a 5-day safari, which was just as incredible. Our safari guide, Nikson, was extremely knowledgeable , professional and thanks to him we managed to see so many animals, including all of the Big Five. The accommodation throughout the safari was excellent, and the food was plentiful and delicious.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport until the moment we were dropped off, everything was perfect.
Thank you again to everyone at Nafika Tours for making this entire journey so special.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Climb - I recently summited Kilimanjaro with Nafika, and the experience was outstanding. Elias was highly responsive from the point of booking and in relation to the climb, the whole team—ranging from porters to our guides, especially Meshack and Erfata - were exceptional. Their professionalism, experience, and focus on our wellbeing ensured we reached the top safely. Highly organized, caring, and dedicated, Nafika truly made this adventure unforgettable.

Really fantastic service - I can't recommend Nafika tours enough. Absolutely top notch service from start to finish. My friend and I booked a 7 day hiking tour to Kilimanjaro. The director Elias Minja was really fantastic with all his communication and organisation. Everything was really clear and so well organised. Our guides on the tour were superb - we were treated like kings by the whole crew who helped us up. The food was really excellent and we got soo much of it and everyone was so kind and friendly. Ten out of ten in every category. Plus - just comparing to some other tourists we spoke to I think we got really excellent value for money - Brilliant experience.

The best choose - Highly recommended!!! Choosing Nafika was the right decision.
At a very fair price, Nafika provided me with a very luxurious pool hotel.
All the people here in climbing are the best and helpful. Experienced guides, skilled cooks and considerate entourage.
All this makes climbing Kilimanjaro a real treat.
It is worth noting that Elias is very helpful. Elias took care of me as a foreign visitor. This made my visit to Moshi town smooth and enjoyable. I really appreciate it.
Safe, reliable and true friend Nafika!
强烈推荐！！！选择Nafika是正确的决定。
纳菲卡以非常合理的价格给我提供了一个非常豪华的泳池酒店。
登山团队中的人都是最好的，乐于助人。经验丰富的导游、熟练的厨师和体贴的随行人员。
所有这些都让攀登乞力马扎罗山成为一种真正的享受。
值得注意的是，Elias非常乐于助人。作为外国游客，Elias照顾了我。这让我对莫希镇的访问变得顺利而愉快。我真的很感激。
安全、可靠和真诚的朋友Nafika

Best Experience- Kiliamanjaro climbing and Safari! - Traveling with Nafika Tours was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Everything was perfectly organized, and our guides, Aloyce and Frank, led us with so much warmth, care, and passion that the trek became incredibly special.
The equipment, food, and staff were excellent, and we always felt that our safety and comfort came first. What touched me most was the personal care Nafika Tours showed they gave each of us the freedom to enjoy the journey in our own way, while still keeping the spirit of togetherness as a group.
Even when my flight was delayed, my driver Adrian patiently waited for me at Kilimanjaro Airport and brought me safely to Moshi. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare, and I will never forget it.
Our safari guide was also amazing knowledgeable, friendly, and a truly skilled driver. We visited three national parks, and he worked tirelessly to get us close to so many incredible animals. Seeing them in the wild was breathtaking, and it made me realize I never want to visit a zoo again.
The lodges we stayed in during the safari were wonderful. The meals were delicious, and the staff were not only friendly but also very flexible and caring.
I honestly recommend Nafika Tours to any one want to visit Tanzania . They gave me memories I will cherish forever, and I look forward to many more adventures with them in beautiful Tanzania!

“Incredible Kilimanjaro Experience, Treated like a Family”! - We booked our Kilimanjaro climb with Nafika Tours, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond not just to guide us up the mountain, but to genuinely care for us every step of the way.
Our lead guides, Eloyce and Frank, were absolute professionals. They were attentive to our condition throughout the trek, always checking in to ensure we felt well and motivated. Their calm presence and encouragement made the long walks easier.
A special thank you to our chef, Anold, who amazed us every day with delicious meals — no exaggeration. Every meal was tasty, comforting, and energizing. We never lost our appetite in fact, we looked forward to every dish. He’s truly a talented chef.
The rest of the crew Alphan, Ewald, Patrick, Bryson, Maximilian, Jackson, Erick — all deserve recognition. When I struggled with exhaustion on the descent, Patrick, Max, Bryson, and Elwad went out of their way to guide and support me safely down, helping with every step and making sure I didn’t fall. That care and effort meant everything.
This was more than a guided trek it felt like we were welcomed into a family. Their warmth, professionalism, and human touch turned what could have been a grueling experience into a deeply memorable and emotional one.
To the entire Nafika team thank you. You made our Kilimanjaro dream come true. We’ll never forget you.

7 Day Lamosho Route with Nafika Tours - Nafika Tours is so far above what I observed in other tour companies that it is hard to list all of the ways. Starting with the booking process, Elias was very accommodating— we needed to change our dates 3 months before the climb— hakuna matata .. we then had to reduce our group size to 3– again no worries!
The equipment is far superior to what I observed other companies to have— tents, mess tent, even the attire of our porters and guides! Our guides, Innocent and Dicklan were top notch— they made sure our pace was pole pole but also moved us at a pace that allowed maximum acclimatization. The porters were great to get to know and we had fun learning some of the language (all spoke very good English).
We summitted with no problems and truly had the trip of a lifetime. Thank you all and I am spreading the word about Nafika Tours!

Excellent Services - We did the 7-day Lemosho route to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours, and they truly made the whole experience unforgettable. From the very beginning planning and preparing all the way to reaching the summit, they supported us every step of the way.
Our climbing team, especially our amazing guides Aloyce and Frenk, were not only skilled and professional, but also full of energy and fun, which made the journey even more special.
They were always there to help us, even carrying our daypacks during the tough summit night when they saw we were struggling. The food was delicious, and there was always more than enough to keep us going.
One important thing to keep in mind: the guides, cook and porters work very well as a team and go out of their way to make sure you are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of during the entire hike. Please remember to bring enough cash so you can tip them generously they truly deserve it.
We are so grateful to Nafika Tours team for their warm hospitality and excellent service. We would definitely love to explore more of Tanzania with them in the future!

unbelievable，amazing，enjoyable - Innocent and Aifada, the guides from Nafika, provided extremely professional guidance during the seven-day Lemosho route. We enjoyed the whole trip, discovering new things every day. Our chef's soup was amazing, and we were full every day. We had enough calories to prepare for the next climb. I wish Max can grow up to be a new guide as soon as possible. Every porter is also very hardworking, they are all very good people, I wish them not to be injured in the process of work, I enjoyed the whole journey, I really enjoyed climbing the mountain, this experience is unforgettable, I will tell my son, grandson, and great-grandson.
I'm on a four-day safari. My guide, Kevin, is very responsible. Every day, he drives for a long time to take me to look for various animals and find the best shooting angles. So far, we have seen various creatures including hippos, elephants, cheetahs, leopards and lions. Tomorrow we will go to see buffaloes. I'm looking forward to having good luck and encountering rhinos.
