Amazing experience - I had an amazing experience with Kanje grand tours! From the start, the team was incredibly responsive, and Innocent did a great job walking me through the itinerary and helping us plan every detail of our adventure. Once we arrived, our guide Emmanuel truly made the trip unforgettable—he was kind, knowledgeable, and an extremely safe driver. He executed everything perfectly and made sure we reached the mandara hut and did everything we hoped for. I highly recommend Kanje Grand Tours for anyone looking for a well-organized, professional, and memorable expedition

Super excited. Highly recommended - I recently did a Kilimanjaro day hike through the Marangu Route with Kanje Grand Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Othuman, was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly supportive throughout the hike. He provided great insights about the mountain, its flora and fauna, and made sure we stayed safe and comfortable. The hike to Mandara Hut was well-paced, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Kanje Grand Tours organized everything perfectly. I highly recommend this company and Othuman for anyone looking for a professional and memorable Kilimanjaro adventure.
