Kilimanjaro climbing Machame Route - Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the 7-day Machame route was an unforgettable experience, and everything was absolutely perfect. Nafika Tours truly went above and beyond, right from the very beginning. Elias was so helpful, he responded to every email quickly and kindly, which gave me so much confidence and peace of mind. Our guides, Inocent and Efata, were simply wonderful. They were knowledgeable, supportive, and made the whole journey feel safe and enjoyable. The porters were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The food was very delicious and more thank enough, every evening, I looked forward to the delicious hot soup, which was such a comfort after a day of trekking 😋.Clean drinking waters were provided every day. There’s honestly nothing negative I can say about this amazing local company. I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone dreaming of this adventure. Next on my list is a Serengeti Safari and without a doubt, I will be choosing Nafika Tours again. Thank you for making this journey so special and unforgettable 💖

Kilimanjaro climb and Tanzania safari - it's was great! - My 7-day Lemosho Route trek was absolutely amazing! It went far beyond what we expected not just because the nature was breathtaking, but mostly because of our wonderful guides and crew. Meshaki and the whole team truly made this journey possible. Without them, we wouldn’t have made it! They took such good care of us, always gave more than 100%, and made the climb feel easier. They explained everything along the way, encouraged us when we felt tired, and helped turn our dream into reality. Reaching the summit and dancing with them on the roof of Africa was something we’ll never forget! One of the most touching moments was on the way down after the summit seeing our crew walking towards us from kilometers away, just to check if we were okay and to celebrate with us. That meant the world to us. We’re forever grateful . Thank you Meshaki, our amazing cook Anold, the entire crew, and Nafika Tours! After the climb, we went on a 4-day safari, which was also fantastic! Our guide Octavina was great, the tented camp accommodations were super cozy, and the safari car was always clean, comfy, and even had a variety of drinks inside. This whole trip was truly unforgettable. 💛

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro hike and Tanzania safari - I had such a wonderful experience with Nafika Tours. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I quickly felt connected to the other trekkers, and the guides, porters, cooks, and the rest of the team made sure we were all well taken care of. Celebrating my birthday this way and achieving a lifelong dream, I feel more special on this adventure. The safari was just as incredible , our driver, Octavian, was not only skilled but also very knowledgeable. If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro or going on a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend this lovely local company!

Kilimanjaro climb and Safari with Nafika Tours - I just completed my Kilimanjaro hike via the Machame Route and a 5-day safari with Nafika Tours, and I can honestly say it was the best experience of my life. From the very first day, the service provided by Nafika Tours was outstanding. Every detail was perfectly arranged from transportation to accommodation, and everything in between. The camping equipment on Kilimanjaro was of great quality, and all the lodges during the safari were very comfortable. The food throughout the trip was delicious and well-prepared, giving us the energy we needed each day. One thing I truly appreciated was the daily medical check-ups during the hike. It gave me peace of mind knowing my health and safety were always a priority. My guide, Inocent, was an absolute star. He was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also a kind and fun companion throughout the trek. On summit day, the entire supporting team was incredibly encouraging and helpful. Their motivation, support, and care truly helped me push through and reach the top. During the safari, our safari car was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a great experience. Our safari guide was fantastic, very friendly and knew so much about the animals, landscapes, and local culture. He made the whole journey both educational and fun. We even managed to visit a Massai people and local villages in Karatu that weren’t on the original schedule, which was a lovely bonus. I would highly, highly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone thinking of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or going on a safari in Tanzania. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made this an unforgettable adventure. You will not be disappointed!

Once in a lifetime experience with the best guides & team!! - We just completed the 6day Machame route, and we couldn’t thank our guides Karrimor & Mr. Dixon enough for being the reason we made it to the summit! (along with the best of the best team!!) We chose to hike Kilimanjaro with Nafika tours due to their amazing reviews and being a local company, and they did not disappoint. From the start, everything was very well organised, we had so much detail about the trek itself, packing list, food menu and a meeting with the guides to check out gear before the trip. Once on the mountain, the team kept us motivated through the harder parts of the trek, even through the torrential rain/hail/snow, they kept us going! Our porters rushed past us everyday to make sure our tent was ready and there was hot tea and snacks waiting for us to arrive, they are absolutely amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better team! A special thanks to our waiter David & Chef who made sure we had tasty food, full water bottles and comfortable nights in the tent. Everyone was so friendly and always smiling/singing/laughing! Summit day was very challenging but SO rewarding and emotional once you get to the top, Karrimor & Mr Dixon, thank you again for being the best guides!! I would highly recommend booking with Nafika for your Kilimanjaro trek, we had an amazing experience and it wouldn’t have been possible without them! Thank you all SO MUCH for being the reason we made it to the summit!

Nafika Tours was our best choice as a local tour operator in Moshi. - It was truly unforgettable. We embarked on 5 days Kilimanjaro Climb via the Marangu Route Nafika team. Godchance, our guide, was exceptional, along with Chef and Waiter who kept us well-fed and comfortable throughout the trek. We couldn't have asked for a better team. Highly recommend this local tour operator in incredible Kilimanjanjaro Trekking adventure! We want to gain more experience. We are planning to go on an adventure with them again next year. Absolutely fantastic experience.

Once in a life experience with Nafika Tour - Climbing Kilimanjaro: A Life-Changing Experience with Nafika Tours Climbing Kilimanjaro is one of the greatest achievements of our lives. Without a doubt, conquering this massive mountain would not have been possible without the incredible support of Nafika Tours. 1. Pre-Departure Preparations We arrived late at night after a long immigration process and were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Innocent. During the comfortable ride to our hotel, he gave us an overview of what to expect and checked our equipment upon arrival. By the next day, everything we needed and missing equipment was in place and ready for the journey, including grabbing a local internet SIM card along the way. 2. Tour Guide Experience Innocent was the key to our success from start to finish. Every day, he would brief us on the challenges ahead, provide tips on what to pack, check our equipment, and recommend appropriate clothing based on the weather. These insights proved invaluable. During the hike, he frequently shared his personal experiences and offered advice to help us overcome physical and mental challenges. His assistance, whether offering a helping hand or encouraging us with positive energy, was crucial. This was especially true on summit day, where his optimism and support inspired us to push through every obstacle. We laughed, talked, and stayed motivated, all thanks to his patience. 3. Porter Crew The porter crew was friendly, incredibly strong, and kind. Over the days, we grew closer to them and were always greeted warmly at the end of each leg of the hike. Watching them help us with our bags and welcoming us during the finally stretch of the day was humbling, especially when we were exhausted or feeling unwell due to the altitude. When we reached each campsite, everything was already set up: tents pitched, hot tea ready, and all essentials in place. Their service allowed us to rest and recover quickly while providing much-needed comfort in the harsh mountain environment. 4. Food The chef tailored meals to meet our needs. Although we had prepared some of our own food, the meals provided far exceeded our expectations. Each day, the menu was slightly different. On colder days, we were served warm soups, and after longer hikes, meals were packed with protein and carbs. Every meal included fresh fruit, and the variety, portions, nutrition, and temperature were consistently perfect. 5. Summit Day On summit day, the crew prepared everything we needed, including emergency oxygen. Our guide, Innocent, also suggested an extra porter, which proved to be a great decision. The weather conditions became extremely harsh, and I’ll never forget the moment they served us hot sweet ginger tea along the way. That warmth and energy boost were a true luxury in such tough conditions. The crew stayed close to us the entire time, ensuring our safety and giving physical, emotional support. we reached the summit after an exhausting 8-hour trek. The return trip was equally exhausting, please be prepared as we were totally burn out and required a lot of the help from the porter and our guide. They helped us massively to reach back to the base camp safe and sound. Conclusion For those comparing different tours, we can confidently say that Nafika Tours is one of the best and most trustworthy teams you’ll find. Their effort, expertise, and encouragement put us in the perfect position to conquer this mountain. Thanks to their exceptional service and support, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the experience and enjoy every moment on this amazing mountain. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we couldn’t have done it without Nafika Tours. Tips 1.If possible pay for the extra toilet might to save you some trips to the public one during cold rainy nights 2. Bring extra portable charging as battery usage in cold weather decrease our devices performances 3. Make sure your tips reflect your appreciation to the crew as they are really a part of your success

Wonderful Kilimanjaro Experience with Nafika Tours - In September 2024, we decided to do a six-day trek to summit Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours, and I highly recommend them. The experience was defined by their professionalism and warm, friendly approach. Every part of the journey was meticulously planned. Our guides were incredibly skilled, conducting daily health checks and briefings to ensure we were always well prepared and safe. The food served during the trek was exceptional, with options for vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary preferences all thoughtfully catered to. The entire team, from the porters to the owner, was not only professional but also approachable, fun, and genuinely kind. Their main goal was to ensure we, as a group, had a unique, safe, and enjoyable experience. Our stay at Brubru Lodge in Moshi was equally delightful, rounding off the trip perfectly. If you’re considering Kilimanjaro or a safari, I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours!

Best hiking experience of my life, will never forget! - Thank you so much, Nafika Tours, for turning my dream of climbing Kilimanjaro into a reality! This journey was both unique and challenging, but with your amazing team, I made it to the top. I took the 6-day Machame route, led by our senior guide Eli and assistant guide Diclan. Our group of four was supported by a wonderful team who made this adventure unforgettable. I’m very proud all we made to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Chef Jonathan kept us going with three delicious, hearty meals every day—something I never thought possible in those conditions! Each meal was both tasty and energizing. Our waiter, Efata, was so polite and attentive, bringing me coffee and tea every morning right to my tent. I already miss those wake-up moments! I especially want to thank Diclan, our assistant guide, who went above and beyond to support each of us. His professionalism, care, and attention to detail were remarkable. His English was excellent, and his medical advice was always on point. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly in tune with our needs. For me, Diclan was a true lifeline. During the summit climb, I struggled with altitude sickness and even vomited a few times. I felt drained and close to giving up, but Diclan stayed with me through every step. He encouraged me, supported me, and even helped clean me up when I was unwell. I’ve never experienced such genuine care; without him, I don’t think I would’ve made it to the top. Even as a first-timer with no serious hiking experience, I reached the summit because of Nafika Tours’ incredible team. Diclan is more than ready to be a senior guide. He knows everything about Kilimanjaro and how to look after climbers, especially beginners like me. I’m truly grateful for this journey and owe it all to the fantastic team at Nafika Tours. Asante Sana! 🙏🏻

Kilimanjaro Climbing and Tanzania Safari - Nafika Tours made our Kilimanjaro adventure unforgettable. This trip was truly epic filled with moments that were inspiring, challenging, and absolutely life-changing. From the porters and guides to the camp staff and organizers, everyone was warm, professional, and made us feel completely taken care of. We never had to worry about food, expertise, or anything else along the way; Nafika Tours thought of it all. Climbing was tough, but Nafika made it a flawless experience. I also recommend to booking a safari with Nafika Tours! After our hike, they organized an amazing 2-day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. Every detail was perfect, from the knowledgeable guide to the comfortable safari vehicle. It was the ideal way to end an unforgettable journey.
