From the moment we arrived in Marangu village, everything was perfectly organized and welcoming. The highlight of our trip was exploring the beautiful view of the mountain and learning about monkeys, Our Kilita Tours&Safaris guide, Samora, was outstanding professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. He shared fascinating stories about Mount Kilimanjaro and ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout the day. His passion for his work truly made the experience special. We highly recommend Friends Traveler and Kilita Tours&Safaris for an unforgettable adventure.

Steven was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the day. Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend Kilita Safaris and steve as a guide to other travelers.
