Great Experience We did the one day hike up the Kilimanjaro tour and was great! The tour guide picked us up on time and was very informative through the whole tour. Showed us different types of plants and interesting information. The lunch they provided was also hand made and pretty delicious! They picked us all the way up from Arusha to Moshi and was easy to communicate with other WhatsApp. I would definitely recommend booking with Kisambi Tours again!

Fantastische service Wat een ervaring was de beklimming van de Kilimanjaro. In 1 woord: fantastisch! Dag ervoor werden we heel volledig gebriefd, onze materialen werden gecheckt en onze gids ging mee naar de verhuurwinkel voor een aantal zaken die we bewust niet mee hadden genomen. Super service en heel vriendelijk! Vanaf het eerste moment voel je je in goede handen. Dat was ook tijdens onze tocht naar boven zo. De gidsen (Ally en Nassoro) en daarnaast alle overige staff hebben ons fantastisch geholpen om de top te bereiken. Goede adviezen en iedere keer de juiste vertrektijd zodat we voor de regen in het volgende kamp waren 😉 Het was een ervaring om nooit te vergeten, dus mocht je Kili willen beklimmen, doe dat via Elisante en zijn team. Bedankt!

Good experience I went to Mikumi national park with two friends. Everything was planned perfectly, the guide was very prepared. It was a very short trip (2 days only) but we saw all the animals in the park.

Expérience inoubliable Nous avons effectué un voyage merveilleux au côté de l'équipe de Kisambi Tours. Nous avons effectué l'ascension du mont Meru avec notre super guide Tuliza pour apprécier un lever de soleil inoubliable sur le Kilimandjaro. Par la suite nous avons eu la chance de visiter les parcs de Tarangire, Serengeti et Ngorongoro crater. Notre guide Emanuel était particulièrement sympathique, professionnel et arrangeant, ses 25 ans d'expérience nous ont permis de découvrir les parcs de manière unique. Enfin nous avons terminé par 2 jours en immersion dans le village de Materuni pour conclure ce voyage inoubliable.

Unforgettable amazing experience! Ήταν μια από τις καλύτερες εμπειρίες κατά την διαμονή μας στην Αφρική. Ο Dennis μας παρέλαβε από το ξενοδοχείο και μαζί κατευθυνθήκαμε στα χωριά Materuni που βρίσκονται στο όρος Kilimanjaro. Φθάνοντας εκεί και αφού θαυμάσαμε την θέα, κατευθυνθήκαμε προς ένα μέρος όπου είδαμε πως καλλιεργείται και παράγεται ο καφές Arabica. Η εμπειρία αυτή ήταν απίστευτη και θα μας μείνει πραγματικά αξέχαστη. Στην συνέχεια πήραμε το μεσημεριανό μας όλοι μαζί δοκιμάζοντας παραδοσιακά τοπικά πιάτα. Φεύγοντας από εκεί και μετά από περίπου 40 λεπτά περπάτημα μέσα στο δάσος, φθάσαμε σε ένα απίστευτο ειδυλλιακό τοπίο όπου αντικρίσαμε έναν τεράστιο καταρράκτη. Αφού θαυμάσαμε την ομορφιά της φύσης και βγάλαμε αρκετές φωτογραφίες, πήραμε τον δρόμο της επιστροφής. Κατά την διάρκεια της περιήγησής μας, ο Dennis μας εξηγούσε πολλά πράγματα για την κουλτούρα, τις συνήθειες, την θρησκεία και πολλά ακόμη ενδιαφέροντα πράγματα της ευρύτερης περιοχής. Επίσης ήταν πρόθυμος να μας βγάλει όμορφες αναμνηστικές φωτογραφίες και να πραγματοποιήσει κάθε επιθυμία που είχαμε. Αν κάποτε ξαναπηγαιναμε εκεί σίγουρα θα θέλαμε να μας ξεναγήσει πάλι ο Dennis.It was one of the amazing experiences we had during our stay in Tanzania! Dennis picked up us from the hotel and we drove to Materuni Villages! During the trip we made a stop in a local scholl because we asked for that so we can see how the schools there work and we gave some sweets to the children. We we arrived we saw the view which was amazing and then we walked to a place where we saw how coffee is produced. This experience was amazing and it will be unforgettable for us. We danced and we sang with the people and the children there and we were part from this family! We felt like home because they are so nice people and their hospitality was amazing. After that we ate all together local traditional dishes that they cooked for us and they gave us souvenirs from banana leaves and we bought also some nice handmade souvenirs from the store there. After the lunch we left and we walked 40 minutes through an amazing park - forest! This walk was amazing! Dennis was explaining us everything about their history, the plants, the environment there and their habits! During this walk we met local people and they were also so nice with us! After 40 minutes of walking we saw a huge waterfall and we couldn't believe how beautiful was that! Dennis made many nice photos of us and then we walked back to the car! We recommend 100% this tour with Dennis! And if we have the chance to go back to this place it will be our pleasure to meet him again and enjoy more time with hime! Thank Dennis! We already miss you!

Kilimanjaro - Machame 7 Day Elisante (owner) and the whole team at Kisambi tours were fantastic from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a Kilimanjaro climb.From quote stage Elisante was clear, helpful and professional (and the price was great). He allowed us to choose any route and date which meant my friend and I could choose a full moon summit as we had hoped. In the lead up to the trip he was also helpful and gave me great confidence.Once in Tanzania he arranges airport pickups at the standard rate and can organise accommodation and other activities. The day before the climb we met for gear check and briefing, and again I was very impressed at how professional and helpful they were. Driving us to gear rental shops and a cafe, and also arranging a day trip to Materuni village and water falls (amazing) for us. You are very well taken care of with Kisambi!On the mountain the team could not have been better. The trip was the height of luxury, better than some hotels I’ve stayed in! Comfortable beds, food so good that we thought the chef must have been a magician, and two highly experienced guides at our side through it all. We felt that the whole team really wanted us to succeed and that they were all doing everything they could for us to. Incredible people, each and every one.When the climb was difficult on the summit night, our guides high experience became very clear. They make it look so easy and with their help, we made it. I can’t imagine having climbed it with anyone else, they were incredible.If you’re considering a Kilimanjaro climb (or any tourist activity in Moshi) then Elisante is the man to speak to. I have full confidence in recommending him and will be giving him a call when I eventually return. Thank you Elisante, and thank you to our whole team!

Once the necessary gate registration has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense Kilimanjaro rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and various bird species. Our knowledgeable English-speaking guide will inform you about Kilimanjaro and will explain the different species of plants and animals you will see. You will also meet mountain climbers descending from the top, and perhaps some of them will tell you of their experiences and you can start to dream about a climb of your own! After a 3-4 hour hike, you will reach Mandara Hut (2700m), where you will have a well-earned rest and lunch. Your guide will then take you on a short hike (15 minutes walking distance) to the Maundi Crater, where you can enjoy wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Northern Tanzania and Kenya. Once you have thoroughly enjoyed the views, you will return to the Marangu Gate (2-3 hours walking distance), where your vehicle will be waiting for your transfer back to your hotel.
