5.00We were lucky to have Daniel as our guide in Tanzania. He made us feel safe, went above and beyond every day, and genuinely cares about Tanzania and conservation. He also booked the best experiences using excellent local guides. By the end of the trip, he felt like a true friend, and our experience was far more than just a tour. I look forward to our next meeting!
Special Moment in Kilimanjaro Forest

5.00Our one-day hike to Kilimanjaro with Hilltop Travel was truly unforgettable. My friend and I, visiting from Malta, had never walked such a long distance before, and reaching Mandara Hut felt like a huge accomplishment. The forest trail was peaceful, the air crisp and refreshing, and the scenery simply breathtaking. One of the highlights was spotting a blue monkey grazing, we were lucky enough to spend over 30 minutes just observing it. It was such a calm, magical moment in the heart of nature. Our guide, Daniel, was outstanding. He shared incredible stories about Kilimanjaro, the animals, and the Chagga culture. His passion made the journey even more special. We also loved exchanging safari stories with him, it felt like we were hiking with a friend. Thank you to the entire Hilltop Travel team, they made this experience one of the most memorable parts of our trip!
