Unforgettable 5-Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climb – Incredible Guides! - I just completed an amazing 5-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route with 3 friends last week, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. We joined a great group and successfully reached the summit of Uhuru Peak an achievement made possible by our outstanding guides, Sebastian and David. From start to finish, everything was smooth and well-organized. The Marangu Route offered stunning scenery and the comfort of sleeping in mountain huts, which made the nights a bit easier. Every night, we were given hot water bottles to keep us warm, which made a big difference during the cold nights at high altitude. The food throughout the trek was excellent – fresh, hot, and full of variety. We had hearty meals that kept our energy up, and the kitchen team made sure we were well-fed and hydrated every day. Sebastian and David were more than just guides – they were professional, caring, and incredibly encouraging. Their experience and positivity helped us push through the toughest moments and reach the summit safely. If you're planning to climb Kilimanjaro in 5 days, I highly recommend choosing the Marangu Route and this amazing team. It was challenging, inspiring, and an adventure I’ll never forget!

Amazing hike on Kilimandjaro thanks to African Trek and Travel - It was the most amazing experience of my life. I just climbed Kilimandjaro with Sebastian and all the team from African Trek and Travel on Marangu road. It was perfect : the food was great and delicious (pancakes in the morning 🥰). It was really professionnal with a check-up every night (oxygen, pulses, any symptoms of altitude sickness). They make the best for you to achieve your goal in the best and safe condition. We did it in 4 days rather than 5 to avoid a possible storm and it was tough but the crew carried my bag to the top, checked every 5 min if I was ok, encouraged me, made sure I drunk and eat. I felt so safe and I did it thanks to them. So don't hesitate to go with them, Sebastian, Emmanuel, Niangye and David. Thanks so much 🥰
