    It was a lovely trip with Joseph and the rest of the porters. The weather was nice so the Umbwe route was not as muddy and slippery as it can be. I was the only climber so I could keep my own pace and cut the trip down to 5 days. Joseph was strong and experienced and we enjoyed the trip. The other guys in the team were very nice and service minded. I recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro if you want a safe and pleasant group to climb with.

    I had an amazing time hiking Mt Kilimanjaro. The guide, the porters, the meals, and overall the organization were great. While the Umbwe Route was supposed to the a bit tougher it was well worth it because, for the first 2 days, we were completely alone tracking through amazing sceneries before joining the main routes on the top. Thanks again to Almighty Kilimanjaro for making this an unbelievable trip.

    It was an amazing journey to hike and reach the Uhuru summit with my guide Joseph and his team from Almighty Kilimanjaro. Everyone was highly experienced mountaineer with superhuman power and stamina. They're also very flexible and accommodating to my need. I highly recommend them!

    This route was amazing… if you want to stay away from the crowds and enjoy more of the forests this route will lead you along the ridge lines until you clear the wood line. You’ll need a good level of fitness but don’t think you’ll need to be doing the Tour de France. The team were exceptional, everyone of them played their part to ensure we had the right equipment. The guide displayed his knowledge and understanding of both the mountain and the needs for the customer. I would highly recommend using almighty, I really have nothing negative to say about them. But from a personal note, when you come here to climb kilo pack sensibly. Don’t rely on the team to carry all your gear. In my opinion you shouldn’t be on the mountain if you can’t carry your own stuff, the guys have enough to carry with food, water, and camping equipment.

    Asked on December 9th, 2022

    If I travel myself is the price still the same? Would there be other people traveling on that same date? I would like to start the trip on either August 24th or August 25th, 2023 because I need to be by the KTR race village at Simba Farm in West Kilimanjaro latest Sept 1st. Would your team be able to just drop me off at the Simba Farm?

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      1. If I have to rebook to a different date, how long in advance will I have to give you notice? And are there any additional costs involved in that? 2. Do you have a recommended packing list (to see what equipment I have to buy)? 3. Are there any additional costs or things I can rent so I don't need t buy/bring them?

    • Almighty KilimanjaroOperatorWritten December 2022

      If you have to book tour on different date, no any additional will be charged, you have to notify us 1 week before the departure. Below are the list of climbing gears you can either come with them or rent as per indicated price. The price indicated is for the whole trek not per day.

    Asked on December 7th, 2022

    I'm looking at this tour and am very interested. However, I'm flying into Nairobi and would like to ask what options are available for me to get down and back before and after the trek? Obviously costings are a factor as I'm on a budget.

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      Would you mind giving me details, like where I will find this bus and dates for when I will start my climb? And will someone meet me from the bus? I may need to hire some equipment also. Because I'm nervous about making payments, what is your policy on these arrangements? Can I transfer the payment once I meet your team on the 21st?

    • Almighty KilimanjaroOperatorWritten January 2023

      There are two ways of entering to moshi from Nairobi by land transport, taking a shuttle from nairobi to moshi, you can contact riverside shuttle alternatively you can take a public bus from Nairobi bus stand to moshi, we can pick you from the end to hotel for gears inspections and briefing about the climbing, you will also need to book one night hotel in moshi, you can book alone or we can book on your behalf upon request.
