  Africa Joy Tours organized our 8-day Kilimanjaro Lemosho trek last August, and I could not be happier. Everything was smooth, from airport pickup to summit day. The daily itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to rest and adjust to altitude. Our guide always motivated us, and the porters were incredible, carrying heavy loads yet keeping smiles. The meals were hot and tasty, which felt amazing after long hikes. The Lemosho Route is breathtaking, and Africa Joy Tours made it even more special.

  Last August, I completed the 8-day Lemosho Route with Africa Joy Tours, and it was a life-changing experience. The itinerary was perfectly designed for acclimatization, giving us the best chance to summit. Our guide was professional and encouraging, while the porters amazed us with their strength and kindness. The food was delicious, and camps were always ready on arrival. Each day offered new landscapes, from rainforest to alpine desert. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise was simply unforgettable.

• Unforgettable experience climbing the world’s tallest free standing mountain!

  My partner and I did the Mt Kilimanjaro 7-day Lemosho route with our 2 guides - Emmanuel and Frankie - we couldn't have asked for better guides! From start to finish, their professionalism, knowledge, and passion for the mountain were evident. They made sure we were well-prepared at the start of each day, ensuring safety and comfort at every step. Their expertise in handling altitude challenges, weather conditions, and pacing was impressive. They were also incredibly warm and friendly, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and motivation. Each day, they shared fascinating insights about the mountain's history, wildlife, and ecosystems, enriching our experience even more. Thanks to their guidance, we felt confident and inspired as we reached the summit. Huge shoutout to the crew of porters and chef as well - they are the heroes who make the summit possible for us. Nothing but respect and admiration for them. It was truly an unforgettable adventure, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to conquer Mt Kilimanjaro!

  My wife and I wanted to climb Kili as a celebration of our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and Africa Joy tours was recommended to us by a friend who climbed Kilimanjaro about a year ago. Clinton and his team met or exceeded all our expectations. Organizing with Clinton by email couldn't have been easier. He was very responsive and answered all our questions promptly. When we arrived at the airport at 2:30 in the morning, Clinton and his driver were there with smiles on their faces ready to take us to our hotel in Moshi. The Park View Hotel was very comfortable and served as our home base before and after the climb. Clinton was very flexible and helped us coordinate a visit to a local children's home that we wanted to visit as well. The Africa joy tours guides and crew were exceptional. Jackson, our lead guide, spoke english very well and were the most personable and friendly hosts on the mountain that we could have ever imagined. We set out to do an 8 day trek on the Lemosho route. After a couple days when our guides were able to assess our fitness level and our tolerance for the elevation, we quickly determined that we could do the route in 6 days. Jackson radioed down to George and were easily able to adjust our plan. We successfully reached the summit just as the sun burst over the horizon and poured its glorious warmth and light over us and our celebration. What a thrill! The safari that Clinton organized for us to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was a welcome reward after six days on the mountain. The wildlife was incredible... everything that we'd heard about. Thank you so much to Clinton and his team for providing us with a life changing experience as we accomplished one of our life's dreams.

  I climbed Africa joy tours in October 2020. I had communicated with 15+ Kili operators over six months before contacting Clinton. My criteria was: 1) To support a local operator directly (instead of going through an agent who would take a cut) 2) To find an operator who would provide daily health checks, carry bottled oxygen, a phone for emergency communication, and a portable toilet 3) A competitive rate (not the lowest) 4) Someone I could trust to organize the climb for me As a highly-detailed trip planner, I felt comfortable communicating with Clinton. He responded to my questions patiently and promptly without pressuring me to sign up with him. Most importantly, Clinton delivered everything we agreed on. He personally welcomed us when we arrived and provided us with a dedicated, professional team to take care of us on the mountain. Good equipment, good food. Our guides Gabriel and Priscus were attentive to our needs, comfort and safety (particularly when we exhibited signs of altitude sickness). I had difficulty breathing on the way down from the summit and am grateful to the team for their care. Gabriel carried me on his back for part of the way, then supported me till I made it back to camp. I highly recommend Africa joys tours and am happy to answer more detailed questions if you are considering the climb. Thanks Clinton, Gabriel and Priscus for the adventure!

  We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with the help of Africa Joy tours. It wasn't easy, but with the kili fighters, they made us believe we could do it with their 30 minutes lies. You are always 30 minutes from your destination and until you reach the peak, you are still only 30 minutes away. For me, the views are priceless, so are the songs of the mountain that they sang to us. The chef was amaizing given the conditions and the guides were the best. They will never give up on you, even when you feel you can't go on they stay with you and tell you only 30 minutes to go. Thank you so much, africa Joy tours, we highly recommend this company.

  With Africa Joy Tours we have managed to fulfill the dream of reaching the top of Uhuru peak. The organization was very good, the guides very experienced and cautious to help us reach the roof of Africa, the Uhuru peak. Known as Kilimanjaro. We decided for the 8 days Lemosho tour. A very beautiful and divers tour in terms of landscapes. The porters and the kitchen crew have given their best to serve us with comfort and good meals. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the time which in the end was flying with our guides Raymond, Happyson and August. I can only recommend this organization and would again choose the team for the trip.

  We did the Lemosho Route with a group of five. I could say a lot about this adventure, but in one word: incredible! Thank you so much Africa Joy Tours, we had a great time! Also a very big thank you to all the Porters and Guides. We wouldn‘t have managed it without your support and motivation. „You can‘t know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice“ Thank you Clinton, Raymond, Happyson, August and all the other guys! You are amazing. If you are thinking about going up to the peak, do yourself a favor and choose this company. It‘s an amazing team and they will do everything to support you to get to the top!
