Excellent Services - We did the 7-day Lemosho route to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours, and they truly made the whole experience unforgettable. From the very beginning planning and preparing all the way to reaching the summit, they supported us every step of the way.
Our climbing team, especially our amazing guides Aloyce and Frenk, were not only skilled and professional, but also full of energy and fun, which made the journey even more special.
They were always there to help us, even carrying our daypacks during the tough summit night when they saw we were struggling. The food was delicious, and there was always more than enough to keep us going.
One important thing to keep in mind: the guides, cook and porters work very well as a team and go out of their way to make sure you are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of during the entire hike. Please remember to bring enough cash so you can tip them generously they truly deserve it.
We are so grateful to Nafika Tours team for their warm hospitality and excellent service. We would definitely love to explore more of Tanzania with them in the future!

unbelievable，amazing，enjoyable - Innocent and Aifada, the guides from Nafika, provided extremely professional guidance during the seven-day Lemosho route. We enjoyed the whole trip, discovering new things every day. Our chef's soup was amazing, and we were full every day. We had enough calories to prepare for the next climb. I wish Max can grow up to be a new guide as soon as possible. Every porter is also very hardworking, they are all very good people, I wish them not to be injured in the process of work, I enjoyed the whole journey, I really enjoyed climbing the mountain, this experience is unforgettable, I will tell my son, grandson, and great-grandson.
I'm on a four-day safari. My guide, Kevin, is very responsible. Every day, he drives for a long time to take me to look for various animals and find the best shooting angles. So far, we have seen various creatures including hippos, elephants, cheetahs, leopards and lions. Tomorrow we will go to see buffaloes. I'm looking forward to having good luck and encountering rhinos.

Fantastic Kiliamanjaro climb with Nafika - We had a truly unforgettable experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours. From the very beginning, their organization was excellent both before the trip and throughout the entire journey.
I was a bit nervous about attempting the summit with my family, but I quickly felt at ease thanks to our amazing head guide, Meshakii , and Ben. They took care of everything, and we completely trusted him.
The climb itself and reaching the summit was an experience we will cherish forever. The whole team Meshakii, Ben, our wonderful cook Anold, and all the porters (the strong and joyful Kili Fighters) were absolutely fantastic. They were professional, kind, always smiling, and clearly loved what they do with Nafika Tours.
The food was delicious, and they thoughtfully took care of all our dietary needs. Even the toilet was well taken care of, something you really appreciate on a mountain!
All the equipment provided by Nafika Tours was in great condition and very comfortable from the tents and sleeping bags to the chairs, tables, and mattresses.
My family truly loved this adventure. It wasn’t just a vacation, it was something deeper, a journey filled with friendship and team spirit. The positive energy of the whole group gave us so much strength, and I never once doubted we would make it to the top.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours a wonderful local company that gave us the adventure of a lifetime. It was more challenging than I expected, but absolutely worth it.

Good services, Best Kilimanjaro Team - Everything was exceptionally well organized, I didn’t have to worry about a single detail. From the hotel stays before and after the Kilimanjaro trek, to airport transfers and every part of the journey, everything was perfectly arranged and ready for me.
The trek to Kilimanjaro was incredibly challenging, but thanks to the amazing support team especially our guide Eli we successfully reached the summit. The equipment provided was of high quality, the food was great, and the guides were highly professional. They paced the trek thoughtfully to ensure we had a safe and comfortable experience.
I also booked a safari with Nafika Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Once again, everything was flawlessly planned. I’m genuinely happy with the entire trip and would gladly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone!

A Life-Changing Kilimanjaro Experience with Nafika Tours - Climbing Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours was an unforgettable journey. As a local company, they are incredibly well-organized, professional, and truly understand what you need to succeed. From the very beginning, I felt I was in safe hands.
During the quiet moments whether trekking through breathtaking landscapes or resting in the tent after a long day the guides shared stories about their lives, their country, and their culture. Their kindness, humor, and deep knowledge made every step of the journey more meaningful.
Though the trek lasts just over a week, you quickly realize how essential every member of the Nafika Tours team is. Their encouragement, expertise, and dedication help you push past your limits and achieve your dream of reaching the summit. More importantly, they ensure that you not only ascend safely but also descend with a heart full of pride and memories that will last a lifetime.
A huge thank you to our organizer – Elias, our incredible guide Aloyce, our amazing cook Priva, and our ever-smiling waiter Frank. And of course, to my fellow trekkers your support and spirit made this adventure even more special.
If you’re thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro, Nafika Tours is the team you want by your side. They don’t just take you to the top they make sure you enjoy every step of the journey.

Kilimajaro Honeymoon - Climbing Kilimanjaro was the hardest thing we have ever done. When we decided to do it, we didn't conduct much research; we simply planned to attempt it while in Tanzania for our honeymoon.
Upon arrival, we looked for trustworthy tour guides, as we had read about scams online. We were initially skeptical about booking online, but choosing this local tour guide turned out to be a fantastic decision! Elias was incredibly helpful, always easy to contact, and assisted us with all our questions and concerns. He even managed to organize everything at the last minute.
The team that accompanied us on our Kilimanjaro climb was professional and extremely supportive. Even when we felt it was impossible, they cheered us on and encouraged us every step of the way. We were often the last ones on the trail each day, and we doubted whether we would be able to reach the summit under the circumstances. However, our tour guides always believed in us, remained patient, and never once criticized us. Their unwavering support made all the difference—without them, we wouldn’t have made it!
Thank you, Nafika, for helping us achieve this dream!

The best local company for your Kilimanjaro climbing! - We were fortunate to have selected Nafika Tours to guide our team of 6 people to the top of Kilimanjaro. They were the ultimate professional outfit from the guides to the logistics to the food to the health and safety. I would highly recommend using Nafika Tours if you plan on climbing Kilimanjaro. Their expertise and attention to detail made all the difference in our success in reaching the summit as all 6 of our climbers reached the summit along the Lemosho Route.

The best is the Nafika team - Choosing to contact Nafika from the Google map reviews, the contact Elias responded enthusiastically to reassure people, the team made every effort to save a life, no replies.
Tents and restaurants along the campsite
The food on the mountain is too much to expect
Eat half of Denim every morning and noon according to instructions
Guidance collaboration helps us lose weight
After the top everyone issued a certificate
Without them we cannot complete.
The spectacular scenery and the gentle team are the best memories, the choice of Lemosho is the most beautiful path, and Nafika is the best team.

Once a life Great climb - I will never forget the moment when I finally reached Stella Point, standing breathless in the golden morning sunlight. The thin air burned my lungs, but the view across Kilimanjaro's crater rim was pure magic. Thanks to our guide’s relentless encouragement — 'Pole pole!' ('Slowly, slowly!' in Swahili) — we embraced the struggle step by step. Each shuffle through volcanic scree felt like a conversation with gravity, yet together, we defied it. Reaching Uhuru Peak wasn’t just a climb; it was a testament to human grit and shared joy. This mountain? Absolutely in love.

Best Kilimanjaro experience with the Best team - I had an amazing trip with Nafika on the Lemosho route! From the very first emails to the journey itself, everything was so well-organized. They provided plenty of information, excellent equipment, and a fantastic team of guides and porters.
Our group was small just four of us but we had an incredible support team, including two wonderful guides, Elisafi and Frank. Before we even started, they made sure we had everything we needed, checking our equipment and offering extras if we had forgotten anything. The tents were comfortable, the dining area was well set up, and there was always more food than we could eat!
Every evening, we had a health check, a briefing for the next day, and the team was always happy to adjust plans or help in any way.
A special thanks to our amazing guides, Elisafi and Frank; our talented cook, Anold; and one of our hardworking porters, Adamu I hope to see him as a guide very soon!
