5.00We had an amazing experience climbing with my friend Mount Kilimanjaro with Kilita Tours &Safari via the Marangu Route for six days From start to finish, everything was well organized and safe. Our guides Emmanuel and Raphael were exceptionalvery supportive and motivating throughout the entire journey. They carefully monitored our health and encouraged us every step of the climb. The food prepared by Chef James was delicious, fresh, and energizing, even at high altitude. The five porters worked extremely hard, always smiling and taking great care of our equipment. Thanks to this incredible team, I successfully reached the summit and created unforgettable memories. I highly recommend Kilita Tours&safari to anyone planning a Kilimanjaro adventure.

5.00I traveled with Kilita Safaris on the Marangu Route as a solo traveler, and the experience exceeded my expectations. My guide, Peter, was professional giude and genuinely supportive throughout the climb. He set a steady pace, explained the mountain clearly, and always checked on my health and morale. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and never alone. The crew was well nice the food was good with my cook james, and the logistics ran smoothly from start to finish. Reaching the summit around 6:30 in the morning was unforgettable, and Peter’s guidance made it possible. I highly recommend Kilita Tours&Safaris for solo climbers seeking a trusted operator.
