Best Hiking - An amazing day hike to Kilimanjaro National Park was offered by Ismani Tours and Safaris. Our driver returned us safely to the hotel after picking us up at the appointed hour. Our extremely informed guide, Yusuph, gave us a wealth of fascinating information about Tanzania and the National Park while we were traveling. Additionally, the food was excellent. We heartily endorse Ismani Safaris and Tours. Your choice won't be a regret.

Hands off this tour/ From ISMANI Travel and Safari agency! - It was to be another highlight, instead a nightmare. Pickup 8:45 instead of 6:30 without being informed - valuable time that was missing for the hiking. The Guide Peter, plunging drunk, lamenting, rabble and demotivated - an imposition and irresponsible! In addition, misinformation: Water in plastic bottles not allowed, strict controls, 17h instead of 18h the NP .. closes all lying. At 9h50 the hiking finally started and it was rushed and immediately set to speed. It quickly became clear that due to the delayed start the Machame Hut can never be reached (start about 10h +5h ascent = 15h, short break , descent 15h30 + 3h = 18h30) to be back at the gate in time for closing. A serious, professional agency would have cancelled the tour because the promised services could not be provided.

Watch out! - Everything was already settled and shared but then they started with additional costs. But worst part was the selection of guides. The guide texted and called after the tour. I blocked him and he even appeared at my hotel at night. Really freaky. I can not recommend to book a tour with this company
