Without a doubt climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was the best trip I have been on, from the guides, to the porters, the tents, food, and more. This trip was a goal of mine for several years and my experience with Kiliwarriors was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I was immediately impressed with the timeliness in communication (we are talking responses within minutes) as well as the attention to detail. I seriously cannot recommend them enough. I have been telling everyone I know about this amazing trip, and it’s all due to the team at Kiliwarriors. Kiliwarrirors does an astounding job making sure that you have everything you need before your trip, answering any questions, and personally calling you to make sure all goes smoothly upon arrival.
Even though I’m a physically fit, female in my 20’s, I still had to push to get up the Western Breach. The team made sure that I was safe the whole time and helped me along the way. I found Kiliwarriors through YouTube (I follow The Vagabrothers and Alex the Vagabond). Go watch their video to learn more about the trip and why they go above and beyond!
Kiliwarriors is extremely accommodating with COVID, too. They made sure all health requirements were ready for my return to ease the stress of travel. I was originally supposed to climb Kilimanjaro July of 2020, but Kiliwarriors allowed me to push my date to a later time, with no cost. AMAZING!
Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, answering any questions we had, showing us everything on the trails, and even taking us to some hidden spots that I noticed other hikers missed out on. They paid close attention to each hiker making sure they were comfortable and healthy. The porters are the superheroes of the whole trip, carrying everything you need in less time. They were all extremely kind and friendly, and made you smile whenever you saw them. You could tell that the Kiliwarriors crew has an amazing community built on respect.
What drew me in to Kiliwarriors was the one of a kind experience you get on the mountain. We had the best tents from all the different groups I saw. The tents were roomy, warm, and comfortable; honestly I slept better on the mountain than I did at home. The mess hall tent, bathroom tent, and shower tent were an added bonus for comfort and community. I loved having many of the campsites to ourselves as well.
THE FOOD is literally to die for. The best food on the mountain. Everything is hand made and cooked in front of you. There are some amazing surprises waiting for you as you get higher up the mountain. I loved going into the kitchen tent to get warm, watch the men work, and get to know the Kiliwarrior family better. I highly recommend taking Kiliwarriors. You get to see views other groups do not take, climb amazing lava boulders and make amazing friends. The whole experience makes me want to go and live in Tanzania.

Highlights of the trip included scrambling up Lava Tower, seeing the outline of Kibo against the thousands of stars at night, having our campsites to ourselves, singing and dancing with the crew, the awards ceremony, walking past and touching the glaciers, and of course summiting Kibo successfully. Every little thing, every detail was worth every cent spent on this trip.
