- LPLaura· September 16th, 2025We completed the 7-day Machame trek with Zara Tanzania and had an experience that will remain with us forever. I realized they were the right company for us from the beginning because they responded to all questions in a timely manner. We met Lema and Musa at our hotel, where they briefed us on the trek and checked that we had all the necessary gear. We met the rest of the team early the next morning and they are the true definition of excellence. They were friendly and attentive throughout the entire trip. The views and overall experience were special. I have total appreciation for the entire Zara Tanzania Adventures team.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
- WDWilson· September 15th, 2025My family had an incredible experience climbing Kilimanjaro via the Machame route with Zara Tours. The entire team was exceptionally supportive and genuinely interested in our safety, comfort, and success. Zayina, our trip coordinator, along with her team, assisted us in planning and preparing for the trip. She also helped by assigning two wonderful guides, Juma and Clinton, six porters, a cook, and a waiter. The crew was awesome, treated us very well, and were professional about it. We are looking forward to returning to Tanzania for another adventure with Zara Tours.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
- AKAnna· August 31st, 2025I recently traveled to Tanzania to attempt summitting Mt Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours. Pickup was timely and Springlands Hotel was clean, with comfortable beds and a delicious breakfast. The climb was challenging but extremely rewarding. The weather was great at this time of year, with clear skies throughout the trek. Our crew gave us exceptional support and truly enhanced the trip with their passion and care. The food by Calisto, our chef, was outstanding; we enjoyed an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Bonnie and Musa were outstanding as guides, helping us safely navigate challenging moments, like the summit night. I would highly recommend Zara Tours to anyone seeking excellent service on Kilimanjaro.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- AFAlana· August 27th, 2025This is one of the best trekking experiences we have ever had. Zayina, our trip designer, took care of every aspect of the tour so well that from the moment we landed in Tanzania to the day we departed, we had the most amazing experience. We had two fantastic guides, Juma and Kasongo, along with six porters and a cook, and they were all wonderful. The crew looked after our welfare, ensuring that we were safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I appreciate all the luxuries, which were only possible due to the efforts of the team. For those considering climbing Kilimanjaro, I cannot recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures highly enough!Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- JBJodi· August 20th, 2025I must say that this was the best decision to choose Zara Tanzania Adventures for my Kilimanjaro trek, especially since there were many options available. From the very beginning, they took care of us and addressed all our needs. Zayina, a wonderful and professional contact person from Zara, attended to everything we required. She assigned us fantastic and experienced guides and porters, led by the senior guide Yesse; without them, our hike would not have been successfully completed. We had a perfect trek; although the trek is quite challenging, having a reliable support system made all the difference. I recommend that others go on this adventure in Tanzania with them.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- GGriselda· August 18th, 2025We were very impressed by the Kilimanjaro trekking experience with Zara Tanzania Adventures who provided excellent service throughout the trek. From the moment we were welcomed at the airport and taken to Springlands Hotel where we met our guides Juma and Barak. They made our time on the mountain an unforgettable adventure as we journeyed the trail into through the changing habitats. They took excellent care of us with excellent equipment, the food was extremely delicious, and we enjoyed it even though the altitude diminished our hunger. I am extremely grateful to Juma and Baraka and the rest of the crew for making our experience so wonderful.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- JJoanna· August 14th, 2025My week-long hike to the top of Kilimanjaro was truly exceptional. With the invaluable guidance and assistance from Yesse and his capable team from Zara Tanzania Adventures, my group ascended to the summit with surprising ease, though the summit night was quite intense. Their expertise, familiarity with the trekking trail, and carefully crafted plan ensured a seamless, secure, and memorable experience. I strongly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures to anyone looking to successfully summit Africa's tallest mountain.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- MSMirjam· August 12th, 2025We have finally climbed Kilimanjaro after postponing it for a long time. We decided to go with Zara Tanzania Adventures because they had a great offer, and speaking with Zayina, our contact, inspired confidence. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and crafted a private itinerary that suited our abilities and budget. The team of guides, porters, and cooks was led by guide Clinton, who performed incredibly well. They were knowledgeable about everything concerning Kilimanjaro, the safety procedures to observe and setting a comfortable pace throughout the journey. The schedule is quite intense and pushed us to the limit of our physical abilities, particularly on the last night when we were going for the summit. Luckily the crew was there to support us, encouraging us and assisting where necessary. We both made it to the summit, and I definitely owe our success to the awesome support from our crew.Show more

The guides, porters and the other crew were professionals and expert mountain guides. They took excellent care of our welfare, gave us some of he best climbing conditions possible, patient and friendly too. Their sense of commitment towards our successful ascent to the summit was clear, but was still secondary to our safety. The camps were good, they set great tents that were comfortable and waterproof.

- CChristine· May 29th, 2025We went on the Kilimanjaro Machame trek and it was so memorable. Our trip was set up by Zayina, who helped us with all the logistics and details concerning our trek. Clinton the lead guide was very friendly, focused and a great leader. He led a team of 2 other guides and eighteen porters, a cook and waiter who made up the crew. The trek was mighty tough and we would not have made it to the summit without the support of our crew. Jacob was a great cook and made sure that we we all had enough delicious meals all through the trek. The tents and sleeping bags were of very good quality. All around it was a great experience with the crew that was there for us at all times.Show moreZara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures) commented on this reviewDear guest, We are very thankful for your constructive appreciation of our team, facilities, service, and everything else you have enjoyed during your trip to Tanzania.

Donald
Asked on June 16th, 2025Want to join a group in July for Kilimanjaro. My friends tell me that Machame is the best for climbing Kilimanjaro so I want to use it. I am a solo traveler, is this okay and acceptable to join a group as one person? What are the items that I can get from your company so that I do not have a lot of baggage and what are the costs? How much extra will I be charged for a portable toilet?
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written June 2025
The Machame route is a popular choice for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, known for its scenic beauty and well-established trail. While it is a popular route, it's not necessarily the "best" for everyone. The best route depends on individual preferences, fitness levels, and desired experience. We can join you to the group on that date. Extra charge for the private portable toilets $100 the whole day. You can rent the extra thing that you want in our store.

Traveler•Written June 2025Regarding this advice, I am pretty fit and I have done a bit of mountain climbing, like the Alps and Everest base camp and Mount Meru. I have seen the related costs for the portable toilet which seems reasonable. Would it be possible to split this cost if another person in our group wants to get the portable toilet, or its fixed?
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written June 2025
For the private portable toilet it is fixed price for both of you.

Asked on May 26th, 2025I am hoping to be on my summer leave in July and I want to do Kilimanjaro. Would you please let me know if you hve groups leaving on July 6? What are the requirements for travel to Tanzania, do I need vaccinations? How much is the Visa? Please note that I am traveling solo
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written May 2025
Travel Requirements for Tanzania: -Visa: For most nationalities, a single-entry tourist visa costs $50. However, U.S. citizens are required to obtain a multiple-entry visa priced at $100, valid for 12 months. -Vaccinations: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory only if you're arriving from or transiting through a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. If you're traveling directly from countries without such risk (e.g., the U.S. or Europe), the vaccine isn't required

Jasmine
Traveler•Written May 2025From the reviews we saw something about a mobile toilet. Is it really necessary and how much dies it cost?
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written May 2025
A mobile toilet is not strictly necessary on Mount Kilimanjaro, but it is highly recommended especially for added comfort and hygiene. The public toilets at the camps can be basic and sometimes not well-maintained, so many climbers prefer the cleaner and more private option of a mobile toilet. The cost usually ranges from $100 for the entire climb.

Asked on February 24th, 2025I want to plan for a trip to climb Kilimanjaro in May. Please guide me on the steps that I need to take so as to have a wonderful experience. We would want to focus on Kilimanjaro this time and also maybe do a day of safari to Ngorongoro Crater or Arusha National Park. If possible we can also do a cultural visit to some of the local places or tribes. Please advice
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written February 2025
For the best results, plan for 8 weeks of training before your Kilimanjaro Trek. This will allow you to build your endurance and strength. In addition to regular gym workouts, make sure you also go for walks in order to stimulate relevant muscle development. Try to do a one or two day hiking trials in your area.

Scott
Traveler•Written February 2025What do you think is a good add on after Kilimanjro? something that is sort of relaxing and not exerting a lot of energy?
- Zara Tours (Zara Tanzania Adventures)Operator•Written February 2025
Obviously there's an almost endless list of things one can do after climbing Kilimanjaro, both within Tanzania and just beyond its borders. But we don't think such a list is useful what you really want is to know the very best options for nearby travel. Tanzania safari or Day Trips. Zanzibar beach holiday.
