At Nafika Tours, our guides are hand-selected for their expertise, receiving extensive training in first aid and mountain rescue. With years of combined experience and thousands of successful summits, our guides are among the most respected professionals in the industry. Their unparalleled knowledge and dedication ensure that you’ll be in capable hands throughout your Kilimanjaro climb.
We ensure each climb is fully staffed, with one guide for every two clients. This ratio is crucial for maintaining an organized, attentive team on the mountain. It allows for personalized attention, providing the best conditions for a safe, successful climb. Our approach guarantees that every climber gets the support they need.
At Nafika Tours, safety is our top priority. Our guides conduct regular health checks to monitor climbers and are well-trained to detect, prevent, and treat altitude sickness. We carry rescue oxygen on all climbs and have evacuation plans in place, ensuring we are prepared for any emergencies.
We use high-quality camping gear to ensure climbers are as comfortable as possible. Our Mountain Hardwear tents are durable, warm, and waterproof, while thick foam sleeping pads provide added comfort. We also offer Mountain Hardwear Lamina sleeping bags, rated to -30F/-34C, available for rental.
Our mountain chefs prepare fresh, nutritious meals that provide the energy climbers need. We use local ingredients to create calorie-dense dishes that sustain your energy on the trek. A steady supply of clean drinking water is also provided, and we cater to special dietary needs.
We specialize in Kilimanjaro’s best routes, avoiding overcrowded trails and offering paths that maximize success rates, scenic beauty, and acclimatization. Our carefully selected routes ensure you get the best chance of summiting and enjoying the breathtaking views along the way.
Whether you’re traveling alone or with a group, we offer scheduled group climbs on our favorite routes and can arrange private climbs for any size group. Our group climbs avoid the rainy season, include acclimatization days, and are limited to 16 participants for an intimate experience.
We take porter welfare seriously, partnering with the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) to ensure fair treatment. We pay our porters above-standard wages, provide proper food and shelter, and ensure they carry reasonable loads.
As members of the Leave No Trace organization, we practice responsible, eco-friendly trekking. Our guides and porters follow strict guidelines to preserve the beauty of Kilimanjaro, ensuring that the environment remains pristine for future climbers.
We use international standard equipment, and our guides are trained in first aid and equipped with personal protection gear.
Once a tour is booked, it is guaranteed to operate, even if there is only one client for the entire trip.
Our guides are trained to attend to each client's needs and adjust the program to ensure a personalized experience.
