Unforgettable experience with Nafika Tours
We booked an 7-day Kilimanjaro climb on the Lemosho Route and a 6-day safari with Nafika Tours, and both were incredible experiences. From the initial booking to the actual trip, the entire process was perfect.Elias promptly answered all our questions during the booking and preparation phases (and we had many). For the climb, we had two amazing guides, Alyce and Daniel, along with a fantastic team of porters.They made our trek as comfortable as possible, attending to all our needs, providing great meals, setting up camp in prime spots, and offering lots of encouragement along the way. A special mention goes to Alyce, Daniel, and one of the porters, Frank, who accompanied us to the summit. Without them, we couldn’t have made it.When we transitioned to the safari, Nafika Tours maintained the same high standards. Our guide, Said, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the local culture, patiently answering all our questions while tolerating us taking a million pictures of everything that moved! The lodges we stayed in and the food provided were top-notch.We would recommend this company ten times over they gave us an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

Hiking Kilimanjaro With the best Team
That was an incredible trip, and we will remember this experience for the rest of our lives. The Nafika Tours team was outstanding – we couldn’t have done it without them. We were truly impressed by their excellent organization, kindness, and infectious positivity. Our guide, Inocent, was always there to help with a big smile. We also greatly appreciated the team's extensive knowledge of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area. They truly feel like family to us now, and we’re lucky to have met them. On top of that, the food was fantastic – every day, we looked forward to our meals. The tent crew kept our tent clean and comfortable throughout the trip. We even had our own service person (Waiter) which made things even more convenient and comfortable. Everyone took such great care of us, making sure we were always warm, well-fed, and in good spirits. One night, when we were cold, they provided hot water bottles for our sleeping bags – such a thoughtful touch! We even celebrated a birthday at camp with the team, which meant so much to us. The summit push was challenging, but the guides knew exactly how to motivate us, helping us reach the top! This entire trip was a pleasure, and we’d like to give special thanks to Eli. Nafika Tours is now part of our life story, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours – a piece of our hearts will always remain on Kilimanjaro!

10 out of 10 experience
I could go on and on about how great of a crew we had during our hike up Kilimanjaro. Everyone from our guides, chefs, waiters and porters were amazing people and made this trip an unforgettable experience. The crew we had from Nafika Tours made sure that we were taken care of around the clock. They were constantly making sure we had enough food and water, so that we were feeling at our best when it came to summit day. We started the climb with 7 people and finished with the summit with 6 but only because our 7th member was on the 6 day machame route instead of the 7 day route, so she finished a day earlier! The crew we had was full of high energy and were always talking about positivity which made the climb that much easier. Aside from reaching our goal at the summit, I also had the goal to propose at the top of Kilimanjaro to my girlfriend who said yes! The crew and the new friends we made along the way were so willing to help that it made it a truly unforgettable. Once we got back to our final camp on the way down the mountain the crew prepared a cake which had completely taken us by surprise and made the experience all the more awesome. Nafika Tours is an amazing locally owned company that looks out for the not only the well being of their costumers but ensure that they have a great experience. 10/10 experience.

Best hiking experience with Nafika tours
It’s been 2 weeks since I came back from Tanzania but I am still dreaming about the journey I had in Kilimanjaro.Prior of the trip, I contacted and asked many questions because it was my first time to Africa and also attempting the tallest mountain in Africa. Elias gave all positive answers and tried to accommodate all of my requests. I even asked to change my accommodation at the last mins and he made it happen. I didn’t have Tanzanian mobile number and when I finally got the internet connection, I found out he tried to reach out to inform that driver was ready and waited for me at the airport. These little details made me very comfortable even before my hiking begins. During the hiking, we were 7 hikers in our group so we had pretty big crew with us. We had 3 guides who leaded us to the top. All of them were very experienced and took special care to make all of us successfully make to the summit. I was only person who signed up for 6 days route instead of 7 days of Machame route in our team. I had to be separated from others and made summit with smaller crews last 2 days. Goodchance was my guide for the rest of journey. I had a problem with my headlight from the beginning of summiting. The batteries I put in the head lantern was not working and the light was on and off. Goodchance asked every single person who were descending, we finally got new batteries from random people at the middle of night and the problem solved. It would been so much difficult if I had to use not the proper lantern for the summit night. The chef, waiters and porters were very friendly and help us to be as comfortable as we could on the mountain. One day they asked what our favorite food were, I said ‘Pizza’ and they actually made pizza in the middle of nowhere 3800m high on the mountain. I am still curious how they made the pizza. They also prepared very delicious traditional Chaga soup with bananas and veggies. None of us could ever lose our appetite in the high altitude. These were little things how Nafika Tours made us feel like home while we hiked the tallest mountain in Africa. They were professional for their job so we could make thing possible. I think these things make Nafika special and different from others. Choosing Nafika tour was the best choice I made for the Kilimanjaro hiking. I can highly recommend Nafika to my friends and family if they will do Kilimanjaro hiking.

Most amazing experience by far!
I came across Nafika through my own research and it had my preference since it is a local company. After doing the kilimanjaro climb I can 100% say this is such an amazing tour company as a whole. All the people who joined us on our trip were so helpful, nice, respectful and there was always somebody that could help you out with whatever. The guides, porters and cooks really made this trip memorable with their expertise and many years of experience. Really recommended if you are looking for an amazing tour operator!!

The Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Adventures!
Based on a friend's recommendation, three others and I planned a trek with Nafika Tours in September 2024. We truly worked with a dream team!In September 2024, we all flew out to take on the 8-day Lemosho Route on Kilimanjaro! Nafika Tours made everything incredibly smooth from the moment we arrived. They met us at the airport and transported us to the hotel where we stayed the night before our trek. That evening, we had the chance to meet our guides, who took the time to review all of our gear and make sure we had everything we needed for the journey.The following morning, we set off on our trek. Our guides were incredibly patient, accommodating the different abilities within our group, and made sure we all felt energized and excited for each day's adventure. We were given plenty of breaks and learned so much about the flora, fauna, and Tanzanian culture along the way.We were blown away by how kind and professional the entire Nafika Tours team was. The porters were nothing short of amazing—strong and fast, they would break down camp after we started hiking, pass us on the trail, and have everything set up again before we arrived!The chef and waiter were fantastic. Yes, we had a waiter! Every meal was a multi-course feast with a wide variety of options. One member of our group had dietary restrictions, and they were able to prepare special meals just for her. We were all well-fed and happy after every meal, and we were offered hot water for tea, coffee, or cocoa with all the fixings to make our drinks just right.The accommodations on the mountain were also excellent. We had spacious tents with thick, warm sleeping pads, and the dining area was fully set up with tables, chairs, and even a tablecloth!Our guides were incredibly helpful with acclimatization, carefully monitoring everyone's health with daily medical check-ups, while being respectful and encouraging. No one ever felt discouraged, no matter how the altitude or weather affected us.Nafika Tours offers great value with competitive rates and a high-quality experience. I had an incredible time in Tanzania, and much of that is thanks to Nafika Tours. I would absolutely recommend them to others!

Unforgettable Adventure with Nafika Tours
Last month, we climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route (7 days), and it was breathtakingly beautiful and scenic. After comparing a few local and international tour operators, we decided to go with Nafika Tours, and I’m so glad we did. The entire experience was outstanding, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Elias and his team.Elias was incredibly responsive, answering all my many questions over email, and his thorough responses reassured me that they were true professionals. From the camping and food arrangements to their environmental practices and the medical expertise of the team, everything was handled with care and precision.A key thing to note: ensure that your guides are medically trained. We had health check-ups every morning and a lung test every night. We also started taking Diamox from day one, which really helped us avoid serious altitude sickness and made the climb much more manageable.The guides were exceptional. They knew the mountain inside and out, constantly ensuring we were safe and making progress. Their support, both physical and emotional, was invaluable—I genuinely couldn’t have reached the summit without them.Climbing Kilimanjaro was the toughest but most rewarding experience of my life, and I’m incredibly glad we chose Nafika Tours to help us get to the top!

Trip of a lifetime
This was without a doubt the best thing I have ever done in my life. The hike, mountain and reaching the summit was incredible but what made it truly special was our fantastic team of guides and porters, I will genuinely never forget them and their kindness to us, particularly to my husband when he got terrible altitude sickness. I was a bit apprehensive before we arrived as I haven't done anything like this before and haven't camped for years but I would do it again tomorrow if I could, our porters always picked the best spot in the campsite for us, we had so much amazing fresh food I could barely eat it all and Sebastian our main guide was always making sure we were drinking enough water, our pace was okay and kept us motivated blasting his radio on long uphill sections. I would recommend Nafika to anyone, Elias was amazing with the whole booking system, answering all my annoying questions on whatsapp within a few hours and he tailor made the trip to suit us all with two weeks notice of our arrival.
