What Travellers Experienced with Us
Tobias Allgeier2025-07-12Verified Awesome Kilimanjaro climb and Safar The tour with Jafari and the rest of the team was an amazing experience that we will never forget. We had an unbelievable climb to Kilimanjaro over machame route and also when we faced altitude problems the guides gave the perfect instructions.Also the safari afterwards was absolutely nice and we had the chance to see a lot of animals and nature but also to get to know the culture better. Lulu in London2025-05-29Verified Rogai Route, Kili trek Jafari was our head guide for Kili trek. He and his team did a great job and we wouldn't have made it without the whole team's support. Thank you! Claire L2025-05-22Verified Epic views, tough trek, amazing vibes From the moment we landed at JRO, everything totally flowed. The airport pickup was seamless, hotel check-in was easy and gear rental was already sorted by the time we arrived. It really felt like the Awesome Trek and Safaris crew had thought of everything. We didn’t have to stress about a thing, they had it all covered so we could just focus on the climb.Jafari, our lead guide, was an absolute legend. He knows that mountain like the back of his hand and managed to keep us feeling safe, supported, and motivated the entire way. He had this amazing ability to read the group- knowing when to push, when to ease up, and always offering the perfect mix of encouragement and humor. Climbing with Jafari felt like hiking with a really good friend who also happens to be a total pro.And it wasn’t just Jafari, the whole crew was awesome. The food was amazing (and abundant!) and everyone was so friendly and just genuinely fun to be around. They worked seriously hard the entire time, but you’d never know it from how positive and upbeat they were. Whether they were hauling gear, setting up camp, or just hanging out and making us laugh, they brought such a good vibe to the trip. It really felt like we were part of one big team.Reaching the summit was epic, but honestly, it was Jafari’s leadership and the whole crew’s hard work that made this journey so amazing. It was really tough to say goodbye. Mark P2025-05-21Verified Unforgettable Safari and Kilimanjaro Experience with Awesome Trek and Safaris Last June, we had the adventure of a lifetime in Tanzania, thanks to Awesome Trek and Safaris. From the moment we arrived to the final farewell, everything was incredibly well organized, professional, and filled with warmth and care.We were lucky to have Jafari as our guide, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and local culture made the safari not only exciting but truly enriching. He had an amazing eye for spotting animals and was always patient, kind, and full of great stories.Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a dream come true, and the team made sure we were safe, comfortable, and motivated every step of the way. The porters, the cook, and our guides took care of everything with such dedication—it felt like a family on the mountain.We are deeply grateful to Awesome Trek and Safaris for an unforgettable experience.

Pedro P2025-04-07Verified Guide was great - Jafari I went as a solo hiker on Kilimanjaro summit and found Jafari to be a warm, knowledgeable, sincere and caring guide. We had various conversations about books, interests, life, and casual things. I always felt well cared for and knew I was in good hands! Safari M2025-04-04Verified Once in a Lifetime Awesome Kilimanjaro Trek – 100% Worth It with Jafari & Team! We did the Kilimanjaro trek via the Lemosho route in September 2023 as a couple from Singapore and joining a group of amazing people from different countries and age groups. Let me just say—this was not a walk in the park, but it was hands down one of the best experiences of my life.Our guide, Jafari, and his incredible team of guides and porters made the entire journey not only possible, but genuinely enjoyable. From day one, they were welcoming, professional, and knew exactly what they were doing. You could tell they’ve done this many times before, and their calm confidence made all the difference. If you're going to climb Kilimanjaro, go with a team like this. Period.The weather was on our side—clear skies, sunny days, and cold, crisp nights. It got really cold at night and early morning, so layer up and don't underestimate how chilly it gets. But the views? Absolutely worth every shiver.A real highlight was the Barranco Wall—it looked intimidating at first, but ended up being a lot of fun. Watching everyone—guides, porters, trekkers—help each other through it was inspiring. It really felt like a team effort, and it ended with one of the most jaw-dropping views of the summit.Now, the summit push from Barafu to Stella Point and finally to Uhuru Peak? That was tough. No sugar-coating it—it’s long, exhausting, freezing, and takes everything you’ve got. But thanks to Jafari and the guides who paced us, encouraged us, and watched over everyone closely, we had a 100% success rate. Every single one of us made it to the top—slowly, safely, and with smiles (and a few tears) at the summit.To anyone even thinking about doing Kilimanjaro—just do it. And if you want your once-in-a-lifetime trek to be truly worth it, go with people like Jafari and his crew. They turn a grueling adventure into something unforgettable.Would I do it again? Probably not—once in my lifetime is enough for me! But would I recommend it? Absolutely. 10/10.
