LIFETIME EXPERIENCE - It was amazing so far, Tanzania is so incredible I don’t know how to describe it, but all you need to do is power your phone or camera battery there so many things you need to capture. Thank you so much to the whole team of Kilisa Tour (guides ,chef ,porter and driver)who work hand in hand to give us such a best and amazing Safari tour with good service and care about our wellbeing I had so much fun in safari I saw many animal like Elephant, Lion, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest and Leopard I learn many thing about them, guide was very knowledgeable he explained about animal and why they behave the way they do. The itinerary was well planned from the day we arrived up to the day the tour ended. I got the opportunity to visit the local society (Maasai society) . I learn a lot about them, their songs and taste local food. They are very generous and welcoming. I got many presents back home like Maasai Shuka, coffee, and art painting. I will think of Tanzania every time I look at them. Thank you very much (Asante sana) for the Kilisa tour, they are a huge part of making my trip amazing.

Fun and adventurous! - I successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro on December 12, 2023. I knew it would be a tough climb, so Naick Msemo from Kilisa Tours made sure I was accompanied by a reliable support team to accomplish my goal. Before the trek started, my guide Goodluck Mwanga made sure I had all the right gear I needed. Goodluck kept me well informed throughout, kept me motivated and kept me mentally prepared. All the other members of our trekking team including cook and porters made sure my climb was a successful climb by preparing delicious meals on time and by providing all the support and help I needed. The climb itself was a challenge but with the team I had on my side, it felt less daunting. Overall, it was a fun and challenging climb which I will remember for rest of my life. Naick Msemo is very helpful and down to earth. He kept me well informed before and throughout my trip. His responses to all the queries I had were prompt and honest. If you are someone who is looking for a successful climb while having the time of your life, I definitely recommend Kilisa Tours.

7 Days Lemosho Route and 3 days/2 nights safari to Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater midrange - Incredible group of guides for both the Kilimanjaro trek and safari tours. Guides were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trek.

7 day Lemosho Route and Safari in Tarangire - I had a great adventure of a lifetime. The 7 day’s hike via Lemosho route was a success all credits to our lead guide the legendary Goodluck, Abraham and Oscar. They made the hike easy and fun through the games we played as we ascended each terrain. The guides are really patient, understanding and very helpful especially tackling the challenging route. Anyway, Every time we arrived in the camp ground, the tent are set up, the basin with water is ready to clean ourselves up and that’s because of the porters. They made sure that we had a pleasant and relaxing night so to be ready for the next days adventure. The food is plenty and is really good to fill our hungry tummy. Ahsante Sana Kilisa, you made sure that our journey is safe and memorable. During summit night, I was panicking and had stomach upset but Goodluck, Abraham and Oscar and the rest of my team keeps me calm and pushed me to keep going. After the hike, the team went safari in Tarangire and is still under Kilisa Tours and Safaris. Our guide Chris is really awesome and very knowledgeable about the animals inside the park. There is no dull moment as we explore the park. All good things must come to an end, Kilisa Tours and Safaris are always there from our arrival until our departure they never left us. Ahsante Sana, Naick and the Kilisa Tour and Safaris staff. You made our journey unforgettable. Highly recommended.

A Kilimanjaro dream come true! - A huge “Thank You” to the amazing Kilisa team who took good care of all our needs to have a successful trek to Mt. Kilimanjaro. The whole team of porters, the chef and our guides, GoodLuck, Abraham & Oscar carried us through our journey with their positive energy, & continuous encouragement. Much love & appreciation to all of them!

The Best Adventure Ever! - Every part of the journey was my favorite. One of them was the games that we play as we hike. It helped us forget that we are hiking. It was fun. We liked the meals served every single day. They served plenty of food which we can't consume. The positive vibes, the care, the endless patience, the spirit of camaraderie, the swahili words that we learned, the love, and many more. Asante sana, Kilisa. You made this dream possible. Hats off to our three incredible guides headed by the legend, Goodluck, Abraham, and Oscar. You all are brilliant strategist. Thank you for a very succesful summit night. No one was left behind. Thank you to all the porters. You are the backbone of this successful journey. Without you, this may not be possible. Asante sana to the entire staff of Kilisa Tours and Safaris headed by Naick Msemo. From the booking to our departure and everything in between, you never let us down. You took good care of all our needs, made adjustments, answered ll our questions, made everyone feel safe and comfortable. I can go on and on and on....Thank you. More power to this incredible company! This company, KILISA TOURS AND SAFARIS is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Life changing experience - I was solo female traveller, first time in Africa and I choose Kilisa for 3 different adventures and I have no regrets. From the start, Naick answered all my questions quickly so I was able to book the trip I wanted. Everything went well and i felt really looked after through my entire trip. I did 3 day MT MERU with guide Tammy. If you do anything with Kilisa, I can not recommend enough for you to specifically request Tammy!!! He really tries to understand what you need and make sure you not only summit, but you are enjoying yourself and are happy. Warning: you will likely gain new brother :) He preaches the same to his crew and we all had really a lot of fun. The whole crew really did several small touches that made my trip special and successful and also for this reason Mt Meru tour was my favourite experience in my whole 3 week stay in Tanzania. I also did 7 day LEMOSHO ROUTE. Unfortunately Kilisa decided to change my guide without informing me as initially Tammy was supposed to be my guide for Kilimanjaro also. This was the only dislike towards Kilisa, but it was a strong one. While I enjoyed my time with the new crew, I would have much different and better experience with Tammy and his crew. Again I highly recommend you specifically request Tammy for your Kilimanjaro climb. Apart from this, of course I still enjoyed my climb. My guide was Goodluck. He is very knowledgable in terms of plants and know also the scientific names, so if you are botanist, you would enjoy Goodluck as your guide. He is kind,calm and friendly. His crew was really nice and made sure my summit was success. I was experiencing some nausea/stomach cramps and they did outmost to make me feel better. I was really not feeling well during my summit push and Goodluck was encouraging me along the way and I did manage to make it to the top. I really urge you to allocate decent budget for the tips for the crew. They work really hard and as you will see the terrain is not easy for carrying heavy/bulky packs and the tips makes huge difference in their life. You would not make it to the top without them. I also regret I have not gotten more gear from me and my friends to donate to the porters. I also did tour to CHEMKA HOT SPRINGS with Kilisa. My guide was Nixon, we had a lot of fun on the way and I learned some new Swahili words. At the springs he took a lot of pictures for me and came to check up on me few times to make sure I'm ok and that I dont need anything. Lunch was included and was really nice. The tour is nice because you get to spend really a whole day at the springs. Majority people came there for hour or two and left and I got to spend really a long time. This was nice specially in the afternoon as it got really quiet and at some points there was nobody else in the water. I also want to give shoutout to Kilisa's driver Ellias. He is bit shy, but he was my driver few times since I did several tours and he has been really kind and funny.

Reliable, safe, professional Kilisa - If I wanted to hike Kili again, I would certainly do it through Kilisa…. again! From the first first email to the last day in Moshi I felt like I had a family to support me. I planned the hike on my own but of course I had the whole support team: Naick, Juliana, guide Bariki, cook Yahaya, and the porters: Israel, Jackson, Elfadhali, Baltazari, Ramadhamani. They were all amazing. Naick was always available through email before the trip, sending recommendations and making sure I was prepared for the trip. There was a car waiting for me at the airport and the hotel booked before and after the hike (great hotels too). I had all my equipment except for sleeping bad and a liner, which I rented from the company. I actually arrived the day earlier so Naick was available at all times with suggestions on what I could possibly do before the hike. I felt safe and prepared at all times. Bariki was great throughout the day making sure I was feeling good and adjusting the speed if needed. He pointed out various plants along the way, and had all the answers to questions I possibly had. He would have a briefing every evening on what to expect the next day and how to prepare. The food was amazing and abundant. I actually didn’t use any of my snacks since there was so much food. Cook Yahaya was absolutely wonderful making different food every day and it was DELICIOUS! All the porters are truly hard working, respectful, helpful and just wonderful! You can never thank them enough for what they are doing. At the end of the trip, again, Naick and Juliana were there to help me figure out what to do with the rest of my days in Tanzania, whether it was an advice on hotel or restaurant or some fun things to do. Again, I am very happy I went with this company and recommend everyone for their future hike. If you have questions or need more ideas or input, send me a message. Would be happy to reply. Thanks Kilisa!!!

Unforgettable - Kilisa Tours and our guides, FC and Matthew, as well as our porters, far exceeded any expectations I could have had for our climb. Before we even set foot in Tanzania, they were welcoming, informative, and helpful. Day 1 we were greeted by our driver Nixon and our guides, who walked us through the climb and checked our gear to ensure we had everything we needed. The items we didn’t have, we were able to rent for a very reasonable price. The Lemosho route was an incredible experience, with beautiful, sometimes alien landscapes, but was truly made unforgettable by our knowledgeable and encouraging guides, the porters, our cook Tom, and our waiter Musa. The food prepared on the mountain was probably the most unexpected, as it was different and delicious each day and was truly appreciated. Every aspect of the trip was well planned and executed by Kilisa. Thank you again for everything.
