A huge experience! Without expectation I travelled to the Kili, from the first moment I met Martin my guide I had a great feeling. When the Porters joined, nothing could go wrong. My team with Martin, Chef Koch, Peter, Neol, Bono, Fidez was absolute top. I arrived at the top with the best care and after 7 days also down again. I can only recommend it to anyone booking through a local, preferably at Tarry Adventures.
We had an awesome trip up Kilimanjaro, we did the Machame route in 6 days and Peter, the guides, and the porters were nothing short of exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Beyond our climb, Peter was a huge help with recommendations and day trips from Moshi. I would easily recommend booking with them!
When I reached out to Tarry Adventures and Safaris, Peter was very helpful and talked different options through with me. I wanted to do either the Machame or the Lemosho route and ended up walking the Lemosho route for 7 days which was great. Both Machame and Lemosho routes have high succes rates for reaching the summit and make good room for acclimatising which was important for me since I'm not used to high altitude. The 7 days somehow went by very quickly because there is so much to take in and because I just had a very good time during the hikes. The guides were really nice and we felt safe and had great company all the way. They also shared their knowledge about nature and wildlife and were professional and focused on preparing us for reaching the summit. So the best advice from here would be: Listen to the guides. Pole pole. And luckily, you'll have good company while challenging and pushing yourself. The food was also very good and well planned for the different temperatures etc. Thanks to the chef, the waiter and the porters for all their work to make this a great experience with a better chance of reaching the summit! It all made a difference. I would definitely recommend Tarry Adventures and Safaris for climbing Kilimanjaro. Peter is there to help you with any problem or question you may have, and the people that he works with are good at what they do. Thank you for an unforgettable experience on Kilimanjaro.
The hike was start to finish fantastic. Cost competitive and great fun!! Couldn’t recommend enough!!! They sent us a kit list well in advance however to be sure, the day before the hike started, one of the guides (Jackson) came to our hotel to inspect our kit to make sure it was good enough. He also went over the overall plan for the hike and the structure of the team. On day 1 of the hike we were picked up by minivan and taken to meet the team (10 in total - 2 guides, 1 cook, 7 porters). They were all very friendly and made us feel welcome straight away. We hiked with the team day after day to get to the base camp. The guides (Jackson and Martin) kept an eye on us walking to assess our physical abilities so that they could manage our final assent and give us the best chance of reaching the summit. They were also both great fun, very professional and took a safety first approach. They decided we were fit enough to do the hike in 6 days instead of the original 7 which was great for us. The food was great and the chef was really good fun and spoke good English. One of our highlights was going to the main tent once we had pitched camp which was were the cooking happened and the porters slept. We chatted with the guys who were brilliant fun with funny stories and very interesting conversations. The porters were great and always happy. They all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Our porter / server (Baracka) was fantastic and deserves a special mention. He was so kind to us both and tried tirelessly to help us. An example is when I was feeling a bit unwell with altitude sickness. I was sitting in a chair not wanting to move at all at the end of the day and he came and unlaced my boots to allow me to get into my sleeping bag. It was a small but very appreciated gesture. The team were fantastic and also got us to the top! There motto is arrive as a client and leave as a friend. It is 100% accurate! I couldn’t recommend these guys enough. They made our honeymoon hike so special.
