Unforgettable experience

5.00Amazing experience with Nafika tours on December 2025, I would give more stars if I could. Very professional team, trying to make this already hard accomplishment easier for us. We chose the six night package from Lemosho route because it is the one with the highest success rate, still hard if you ask me but the guys made it as pleasant as possible for us. We were lucky because it was just me and my friend so we had very personalised care. I know all tour operators give similar services but we vibed very well with our guides Meshak and Diclan, with our very talented cook Priver, proving some of the most delicious soups we ve ever had in our life, with our lovely waiter Jackson, and with porters Rizick, Erick, Robert, Fashil and special thanks to porter Joachim who came with us to the summit as an extra person in case we need anything! Kilimanjaro is amazing experience by itself, with Nafika it will just be unforgettable 🫶🏻
Excellent experience!!

5.00My Kilimanjaro tour with Nafika Tours was perfect… The guides (Innocent and Ephata) were very experienced, the porters helped a lot, everyone was so responsible and caring. Our chief (Priver) cooked very delicious food everyday, and he really knows Asians’ taste. We summited the Uhuru Peak successfully and it could not be achieved without this incredible team. Sincere thanks and hope everyone is doing great!
6-day Machame Kilimanjaro hike

5.00We just returned from 6-day Machame climb. From the beginning to the very end, the team was there to help us make it to the top and back. They checked our gear and supplied what was missing, they left the camps after us but had everything set up before we arrived to the camp, and they even offered their headlamp when mine died close to the summit. The food cooked by Arnold is amazing and abundant, every day something different and surprising. The guides (Efata and Aloyce) were always with us, setting a brisk pace we wanted but making sure we don’t gas out. The whole team made the climb an unforgettable experience. Here is the thing. Looking around the campgrounds and hiking along many other groups, I believe that every company more or less offers similar services. The difference with Nafika is that you are 100% supporting a local business and they will act as a true local, grateful, enthusiastic and caring supporter of your efforts in return. Elias, the owner, started as a porter and now runs a company that brought two groups of people on the same day with us to the top of Kilimanjaro. Your money stays local and feed local families. You can’t say the same with many of the bigger tour companies.

5.00Trekking Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route was an unforgettable adventure. The scenic trails, ranging from lush rainforest to alpine desert, offered breathtaking beauty and incredible variety. With well-planned camps and gradual acclimatization, the challenge of reaching the summit felt achievable and deeply rewarding. The friendly guides, the stunning landscapes, and the joy of standing on Uhuru Peak made it a truly life-changing experience. I’m especially grateful to the amazing on-ground crew led by Aloyce and Efata, and to our talented chef, Anold, who kept us well-nourished throughout the climb. The incredible support from the Nafika team made it possible for me to achieve this dream, thank you all so much! After the trek, we enjoyed a wonderful five-day safari. It was an amazing experience, we saw all of the Big Five and so much more wildlife. The safari car was very comfortable and clean, even equipped with a small fridge stocked with drinks, which we really appreciated. Our accommodations were lovely, and the food was plentiful and delicious. Overall, both the Kilimanjaro trek and the safari were truly unforgettable experiences that I will cherish forever.

5.00Our family of 5 trekked to the top of Kili with Nafika and had a memorable experience even with a cold and cloudy summit day. Elias made the pre-voyage organisation easy. Our guides Aloyise, Max and Frank were kind, fun knowledgeable - they were concerned for our health and made the trek easy and enjoyable. Arnold our cook was a star, even magically baking a cake for my wife's birthday even though he only learned about it the morning of. Nafika is highly professional, locally owned and makes the trek a luxurious experience. The team ensured our camps were always set up in the best spots, that we never went hungry and always felt safe and cared for including the daily health checks for everyone (oxygen levels, blood pressure etc) and private toilet. We cannot not recommend Nafika highly enough. If you're planning to climb Kilimanjaro look no further!
Superb family Kili climb experience

5.00We climbed Kili with Nafika as a family of five (our 'kids' are 17, 21 and 22) and had a superb experience all the way (even with very cold and cloudy summit). Nafika are highly professional and it was a luxurious experience. Camps were always set up in the best spots, the food was amazing and plentiful and the guides were encouraging, fun and knowledgeable -- and caring/super safe with daily health checks for everyone (oxygen levels, blood pressure etc). I could not recommend them more highly. And they were great value for money.

5.00During my Kilimanjaro trek, the guides were amazing so friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The porters were incredibly hardworking and always had everything set up before we arrived at camp, which made things so much easier. After the trek, I went on a 4-day safari, and it was just as wonderful! The hotels were lovely, and the guides made the whole experience unforgettable. I highly recommend Nafika Tours they really took care of everything and made the trip so special.

5.00I had such a wonderful experience with Nafika Tours. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I quickly felt connected to the other trekkers, and the guides, porters, cooks, and the rest of the team made sure we were all well taken care of. Celebrating my birthday this way and achieving a lifelong dream, I feel more special on this adventure. The safari was just as incredible , our driver, Octavian, was not only skilled but also very knowledgeable. If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro or going on a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend this lovely local company!
Kilimanjaro climb and Safari with Nafika Tours

5.00I just completed my Kilimanjaro hike via the Machame Route and a 5-day safari with Nafika Tours, and I can honestly say it was the best experience of my life. From the very first day, the service provided by Nafika Tours was outstanding. Every detail was perfectly arranged from transportation to accommodation, and everything in between. The camping equipment on Kilimanjaro was of great quality, and all the lodges during the safari were very comfortable. The food throughout the trip was delicious and well-prepared, giving us the energy we needed each day. One thing I truly appreciated was the daily medical check-ups during the hike. It gave me peace of mind knowing my health and safety were always a priority. My guide, Inocent, was an absolute star. He was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also a kind and fun companion throughout the trek. On summit day, the entire supporting team was incredibly encouraging and helpful. Their motivation, support, and care truly helped me push through and reach the top. During the safari, our safari car was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a great experience. Our safari guide was fantastic, very friendly and knew so much about the animals, landscapes, and local culture. He made the whole journey both educational and fun. We even managed to visit a Massai people and local villages in Karatu that weren’t on the original schedule, which was a lovely bonus. I would highly, highly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone thinking of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or going on a safari in Tanzania. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made this an unforgettable adventure. You will not be disappointed!
