Bob is an awesome host and the overall experience was great. We felt at home at every single moment and Bob’s team was very friendly and caring

My sister and me, we've just been at the top of Kilimanjaro a few days ago! It was just awesome!
We booked our 7 day Lemosho Route with Bushkomba and... read more they work together with KiliTwende.
We were picked up by our crew at our hotel. Everything was well organised!
Jerry and Sadi were the best guides! They guided us safely to the top and also on all other passages.
They were very considerate and very responsive to our needs. When we felt sick or really tired, they even helped us carrying our backpacks!
For every small problem, they had an idea how to solve it!
Also they tought us a lot about the environment and we learned some Swahili from them!
Special thanks also to Goodluck for carrying our emergency oxygen to the top!
We appreciated the very delicious food, the good service, morning-wake-up tea, Welcome-Drink after a hiking day, a private toilet, hot water bottles in the evening and carrying our luggages, tents and all the rest from camp to camp!
There was really nothing to complain about!
We highly recommend doing your Kilimanjaro adventure with KiliTwende!

Best money you can spend! - Its was an amazing trip. Everything was organised in advance with some minor complications on the way. Those complications occured due to weather conditions and were solved easily by our... read more guide. I really loved the athmosphere during our trip filled with joy, good music, great people and happiness.
I would recommend Kilitwende Adventures at any time!

My friends and i had a lovely trip to the mataruni waterfalls and a coffee tour. The organisation beforehand by kilitwende was perfect and easy. The guide was super sweet.... read more We had a great time, full of wonderful experiences!

We had our own driver a Moshi friend and we picked up our guide Manessi just outside town.
We headed to the waterfalls about 30 minutes from town.
It... read more was a pleasant walk in lovely mountain scenery 45 minutes each way not too difficult.
I am told by my friend the water was invigorating and certainly the mountain water was clear.
Lunch was at a local cultural centre which laid on a tasty lunch costing of banana soup and a vegetable or meat casserole and great fresh fruit and avocado.
A highlight was the coffee experience telling the story with song and dance!
We enjoyed fresh coffee from the beans we had roasted. It was really well done.
The centre is a go ahead and entrepreneurial place with a shop and coffee for sale and some new quality accommodation for those who fancy an escape in the hill country.

An Unforgettable Adventure Climbing Kilimanjaro

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Kiliwende Adventures was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that far exceeded all my expectations. The breathtaking views, diverse ecosystems, and the sheer... read more sense of accomplishment make this hike truly unparalleled.

Highlights:

Scenery: From lush rainforests to alpine deserts, every step offered stunning and ever-changing landscapes. Reaching the summit was an awe-inspiring experience that I'll never forget.

Challenge: This hike tested my limits, both physically and mentally. The high altitude and steep ascents were tough, the encouragement from our guides kept me going.

My guides Bobby and Sadieh were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Their expertise ensured a safe journey, and their stories and insights added a rich cultural layer to the hike.

Wildlife: Spotting unique flora and fauna along the way was a delightful bonus. Seeing animals like colobus monkeys and various bird species added to the adventure.

Summit Success: Reaching Uhuru Peak was an emotional and triumphant moment. The sense of pride and accomplishment I felt standing at the roof of Africa is indescribable.

The best safari experience! - John arranged for a magical two-day safari for us to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. He had so much patience with all my questions and wishes and made out the route perfectly... read more for our needs. Our driver and guide Raymos was great. He always found the best spots to see the animals and had so much interesting information to share. Simply a dream-trip!

Lovely Team - Kilitwende - We had an incredibly great and breathtaking trip with Adventure out loud. With great attention to detail, professionalism, patience and a lot of experience, Nate put together an individual trip... read more for us that really took all of our wishes into account and even exceeded them.

The trip through Tanzania was the perfect mix of authentic, local culture and contact with the country and people and of adventure, activity and exploration.

Thanks to the contacts through Kilitwende , we always had incredibly helpful and experienced contacts on site and were able to create great connections.

Let us advise you and the guys will plan your trip according to your ideas and wishes.

In our case it was an incredible climb of Kilimanjaro with an amazing team around us. We made great and unforgettable impressions that are definitely for always stay in our heart. Thank you for the great planning and advice and hopefully more trips to Tanzania will follow.

A clear recommendation 🙂

Very well coordinated and taylored to my desires. The group and the driver/guide were great. At Tarangire we saw very closely almost all of the game animals there. Ngorongoro crater... read more was also an amazing experience with its herds of wildbeests, African buffalos, zebras, antilopes, hippos and lions. In Arusha National Park the combination of game drive and walking Safari was a very interesting experience. Thank you team of Kili Twende for these outstanding Safaris.

We had an incredible experience completing the Mount Kilimanjaro Trek on the 8-Day Lemosho Route with Kilitwende Adventures. I cannot recommend this company more highly!

From the beginning,... read more the booking process was seamless, with the team being highly responsive and attentive to our needs. We rented a few essential items, such as wet-weather gear, hiking poles, and pants, and all the equipment provided was of excellent quality.

The guides were absolutely outstanding — positive, fun, passionate, and very funny. The conversations we shared on the mountain will stay with me forever, and their knowledge of the mountain was remarkable! They thoughtfully adjusted the hike to match our experience level, ensuring that all four of us reached the summit and had an enjoyable experience!

The porters were also incredible. Their customer service was beyond exceptional; they provided hot water bottles at night when the temperature dropped, dried our wet gear (including soaking shoes) after rainy afternoons, and even brought hot tea into our tents. When I fell ill during the hike, they prepared a ginger herbal tea for me each morning and night, which worked wonders. They sang and danced with us after we summited, and we were always greeted at each campsite with our tents and dining area already set up. Their warmth, care, and attentiveness truly made this journey extraordinary.

The chef was phenomenal, and despite hearing stories about losing one’s appetite at high altitudes, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so well. The meals were nourishing and delicious, providing much-needed energy for the trek.

The accommodation arranged for us before and after the trek was superb, with stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, a pool, and a convenient location in Moshi.

As someone who had never hiked before, I was amazed by how comfortably I reached the summit, which I attribute entirely to the experience and care of the Kilitwende team. They were truly incredible, and booking this adventure with them was one of the best decisions we made.

Awesome - We had an amazing experience going around Taranguire, Serengueti and Ngorongoro. @Johnmmbando cared about every single detail so as we could enjoy the journey to the fullest. He and his... read more team were extremely professional and, above all, very friendly. Our special recognition to his awesome work. Thanks John for everything and particularly for making our first time in África an unforgettable experience!!!

Having just returned from hiking Mt Kilimanjaro/Lemosho Route with
Kilitwende Adventures, I can confidently say anyone whom has the opportunity of hiking with Jerry, Joseph, Sadhi and the team,... read more will remember it for the rest of their days. Kilitwende Adventures were extremely professional, friendly, understanding and helpful when required. I would recommend this trek to anyone whom is up for a challenge and amazing cultural experience.

Mt. Meru and Safari experience - 11/10! - We got a recommendation for KiliTwende by a friend who went on the Kilimanjaro with them and had an amazing time there. So we went to their office in order... read more to plan our Mt. Meru and our safari trip with them.
For the Mt. Meru we couldn't have asked for a better experience, with our guides Peter and Daniel we were in best hands: not only were they fun and good to talk to but also extremely professional when it came to climbing the summit and even handling some of our lighter symptoms of altitude sickness - 11/10!
For the safari, it's pretty much the same. We went for the four days / three nights trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Even though Serengeti is quite far away, it was absolutely worth going! It is very special and different to the other parcs.
Our guide Jimmy was able to answer all the questions we had about every single detail.
In conclusion we can only recommend planning your Tanzania trip with KiliTwende from the bottom of our heart! Bobby is honestly one of the kindest people there is and answered every single question we had! We are already saving up for our next trip in order to climb the Kilimanjaro with our Rasta friends!

The Safari was perfect! - Me and my family, we had a great time. The safari was very well planned. Everyone was on time!
The guide was funny and he had a lot of... read more knowledge of the different parks and animals, the food was exceptional too. All in all, a perfect 4-day trip! Thank you for everything 🙂

Moshi, Maruteni and Arusha - After climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Kilitwende Adventures and Adventure out loud, we stayed in Moshi for a few nights before heading off towards Uganda. John from Kilitwende arranged a highly... read more enjoyable personalised day trip to Arusha, a magnificent day trip to Maruteni Falls and coffee farm, airport transfers, and sim cards for our phones. He was always available for any queries and concerns and he even extended our "pamoja" experience to Mwanza, helping out with accommodation and checking in to make sure we were ok. The Kilitwende crew were amazing on the mountain, and ever since, John has continued to make sure we are well-looked after.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE - The trip was very adventurous! Me and my family had a lot of fun. Our trip was to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Kudos to the driver who showed us around and... read more to the cook who always prepared a good meal for us 3 times a day! I seriously had a lot of fun. Thankyou KiliTwende for this amazing experience.

Heartwarming One Of A Kind Experience - Group of incredible, strong, funny, caring men led us to the breathtaking Uhuru Peak in Feb 2023. The country, the mountain, the views, the nature really do take your breath... read more away. It is just amazing. Everything KiliTwende did for us lays way above any expectations any of us had. They transported our bags (that was just unbelievable and such a hard work), they served fruits, little joys like peanut butter and Nutella, tasty courses made of fresh ingredients every step of the way (even on the altitude of 5000m!!!) , after every hike they welcomed us with warm towels and lemonade. They asked how we were feeling, they offered hot tea, their smiles and unforgettable conversations. They made sure we were warm and comfortable. They sang and danced (that might be my absolute favorite part). They also sang and danced during the final summit to cheat us up and make sure we get to the top. Everyone: the incredible porters, the cooks, the guides let us experience their beautiful culture, their way of being. This was my very first mountain, I will never forget climbing the beautiful Kilimanjaro along side this wonderful crew of professionals. And I made a wish to come back. Asante Sana !!!!!

The rerun was so much fun! - This was my second time using the skills and capabilities of Kilitwende Adventures. This company simply does not disappoint! After taking my brother on their Budget Safari last March, I... read more felt the pang for more Tanzanian adventures. Albeit this time from a more cultural perspective. So over my Thanksgiving Break, Robert W. of Kilitwende hooked me up with four trips that allowed me to soak up the local experience. Robert and Daniel (my Arusha NP driver) are not only knowledgeable hosts but are also warm and friendly folks. When...not if I go back again...I will surely use their unique, one of a kind service!

Огромное спасибо Джону и Бобби за профессиональную организацию, полную безопасность, лучший сервис и поддержку в любых бытовых и организационных вопросах. Смело и горяче можем рекомендовать ребят и их команду

Many thanks to John and Bobby for the professional organization, complete security, the best service and support in any household and organizational matters. We can boldly and warmly recommend the guys and their team.

My adventure with kilitwende - It was an amazing experience and enjoyable journey with kilitwende adventure team. it was really a journey to remember

Awesome - Amazing experience, I would repeat without any doubt! Planning and execution just perfect, personally and professionally speaking nothing to improve. If you have the chance, climb Kili with Kilitwende!

Incredible trip - It was an amazing trip with kilitwende adventures we booked through this operator and we had an amazing lifetime trip

KARIBOU TO THE EXTREME - Seeing the BIG FIVE was probably my most memorable experience. But, closely behind that was the sheer beauty and magnificence of Ngorogoro Crater. Away from the game parks, Robert Woiso... read more made sure we got a cultural education through taking us to the Moshi Urban Market as we got to enjoy the hustle and bustle atmosphere of all that happens there. Sampling the cuisine of the locals was outrageously delicious! Our stay at the Keys Hotel was exceedingly warm and pleasant as the gracious staff saw to our every need and question. Highest marks should also go out to our game parks driver, Daniel , who saw to it that he passed on his zoological knowledge to us with an abundance of humor and goodwill. And, as well, Vitos, our "stomach engineer" made sure we were well- nourished through his delectable offerings
I really can't say enough concerning how wonderful working with KiliTwende was. Suffice to say, I will definitely use them again for any and all future adventures!

Kili Twende making my dream come true - Wow! I don’t know where to start. It was my dream since 2020 and it came true this February. Those guys from Kili Twende are amazing. They cared about us... read more from top to the bottom. Each end of the day they brought hot wet towels, white like snow, which is really hard to get in this areas. It is unbelievable how in such hard living conditions they remained human, they laughed, they danced, they supported us. Even when my hands were freezing they heated them with their breath. I got back home two days ago and still watching our dances and miss every moment!
Thank you John, Bobby, Joseph, Hillary, Hamadi, Nyoki, Tzadiki and many others in our group for helping me my dream come true!

We went to Lemosho Route 7 days and Safari 10 days, Kilitwende is AMAZING. They do all what they can to make you feel great. Once you met Bobby, Jerry,... read more Sadi and all the Kilimanjaro crew you know that you will be safe in the mountain. They will treat you as family or even better! And the adventure will be Amazing. The safari was also incredible, good food, and the best: enjoying nature as you respect all the Animals. We traveled with Danny, Lily and Vittus, amazing people too. ¡THANK YOU KILITWENDE!

The safari with kilitwende was really great. John proposed a very nice programme for us and we had a wonderful, very experienced guude with Shiraz. It is hard to put... read more in words what a wonderful experience we had. Starting at Tarangire, then the crater and then 2 days Serengeti. The trip was so diverse in landscapes and we had wonderful places to stay. Shiraz knew all the great and private spots for game driving and experiencing the greatness of the nature. We have seen so many animals from up close the big five but also so many birds gazelles etc. And Shiraz could always tell a lot about them. It was really really great!

Tanzania experience with Kili Twende Adventures - The trip and views were amazing! The crew were professional, hospitable and friendly... Such a joy to hang out with. They knew how to entertain both children and adults ensuring... read more we had excellent meals, affordable accomodations and amazing tours... Great job!!!!

Trip of a lifetime!! - We did Mount Kilimanjaro and Safari through the team at Kilitwende!! They were amazing right from the first second. Organised airport transfers, flights for safari were sorted, all food was... read more amazing and they were able to cater for special dietary requirements e.g. gluten free. Our guides and porters and whole crew on the mountain were fabulous and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Nothing was too much for them!!
We had a relatively large group for Safari and had three guides; Ben, William and Alfred. They were really great at managing our large group and also educating us on all of the animals we saw.
We didn’t have to stress about anything the whole trip and would definitely recommend the Kilitwende team. Thank you Bobby and John - you are amazing!!!

Best Tanzania Experience - We went on safari to Taranguire, Serenguetti and Ngorongoro with them on September this year. It was the best experience ever!

They are very kind people, they worried... read more about everything, the food, the beds, the tents, the transport, so we just had to enjoy the safaris. But the most important thing is the warmth and the sweetness of the people who make up the Kilitwende.

We were a group of 40 people and all of us thing the same!

Personally, I strongly recomend to go on safari with Kilitwende!

It is hard to really find the words to describe how awesome this trip was. We started out on the 8 day trek to summit Kilimanjaro and then did 3... read more days on safari. The team that brought us up the mountain worked so hard for us and made the trip a success. The food...just amazing! Vitos should write a recipe book. My friend and I are vegetarians and we were never hungry. The final push up to the top was so challenging and Jerry and Sadi were fabulous guides. Getting back to Moshi and then going on safari was surreal. We loved the tents in the Serengeti and seeing just amazing amounts of animals. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime and Bobby's team went beyond my expectations.

My dream realized with Kilitwende! - Kilitwende team helped me to realize my dream to climb Kilimanjaro! I'm woman 57 years old and not a good climber. But the guides and porter did their best... read more to make the trip comfortable and support me. It was really not camping but clamping! After trekking the team meet us with hot napkins and welcome drink. We had hot water to wash the hands and face and we had comfortable tents for sleeping and eating. Every day our chief cooked tasty dishes: soups, salads, chicken or fish, even pizza and pancakes in the mountains! We had fresh fruits every day that was delivered by porters. When I was about to give up our experienced guides Peter and Sadi inspired me and help to reach the summit! Kilitwende is really dream team!

Kilitwende! Go for it! - Wonderful moments in the wilderness.
Our guide Hilary was knowledgeable and helped to us to find the big 5 in the wild. Thanks Huguette Tailly for linking us to Kilitwende

Safaris in Tanzania - We spent 15 days in Tanzania and the 4 safaris we did were the most fantastic experience we´ve ever had...! Everything was great.... the organization, the meals, the camps, and... read more the rides on excellent vehicles to see with no problems the animals we were looking for ! John, Ben, Lilie, everyone excelent ! Will never forget those magic days with you, Kilitwende people...!!!

8 day Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit - Bobby led a great crew on this fantastic trip on the less travelled Northern Circuit route up Kili. All our needs were catered for with tasty meals provided by Vitus... read more three times a day, chipsi mayai being a favourite. The equipment was all satisfactory, but what really made the trip memorable was the support team of Daniel, the assistant guide, Sady our mess tent fundi (who even served up ginger tea on the summit!), Vitus the chef and our wonderful team of smiling porters. Special plaudits go to Rashidi who carried and maintained our private toilet tent...asante sana. Another nice touch was the hot water bottles provided each night.

Without the support and encouragement of the summit team, we would not have been able to achieve our goal of summiting the highest peak in Africa.

We traveled twice with KiliTwende and there were greate adventures both times!!! The drivers were fine men with a large knowledge about animals and the country. We slept in accomodations... read more of very well standards. And we could modify each day activities due to our crazy ideas:) Next time we will chose the compant of Bobby for sure!!!

4 Days Safari Tour & 5 Days Kilimanjaro Marangu Route with Kilitwente Adventures - I booked a 4 days safari tour and a 5 days Kilimanjaro marangu route trip with Kilitwende Adventures and everything was well organized from start to finish. I enjoyed it... read more with the guides, who got a lot of knowledge about the animals and the environment and were always supportive. That gave me the possiblity to learn even more about this beautiful country and its culture. Thanks to Bobby, John and the rest of the team for these two amazing experiences!

John was like a friend. We shared great experiences at the 2 days safari together. What an amazing time and saw so many wild animals - it was like a... read more dream. Would definitely recommend this to everyone visiting Tanzania. Good decision to make it with Kilitwende

Amazing Safari Experience - We had an amazing experience with Kilitwende at Taranguire, Serengetti and Ngorongoro. John and the team were really kind and friendly. Jeeps and tents were comfortable (though the night at... read more Ngorongoro was extremely cold), and the food was delicious. We recommend a safari experience with Kilitwende 🙂

Kilimanjaro Machama Route - Great experience 200%! Helpful preparing the trip and really professional during it. Good guides, good food and good experience in general. They help us to reach the summit! Then we... read more went also 4 days in safari, really great everything again. Definitely a company to go with to visit Tanzania. Thanks Bobby and all the team.

Organising day trips, transport services and hire equipment. He even helped us with accomodation... read more and travel for the next part of our journey!
On the mountain the Killi Twende team were incredible. Ensuring we were well fed, rested and ready to go each day. Daily health check ups, consistent reminders to stay hydrated, encouragement and lots of singing ensured we made it to the summit!
I will certainly be back again and will recommend Killi Twende to all who want to tackle Mt. Kilimanjaro!
