    I climbed Kilimanjaro as part of a group of 8 people with Click Expedition a local agent in Tanzania. The most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. I did the Umbwe route (7 days — which passed by super fast!). It was quite easy, some steep areas but nothing unmanageable if you have some experience hiking. Views were really nice. I can’t compare to other routes since I haven’t done any but I enjoyed this longer one. Thank you very much to our wonderful Kilimanjaro guides. They were everything I could have wished from a guide.From the daily health check, I particularly enjoyed all the singing we did on the trail. And special thanks for all their patience with our attempts at learning Swahili!! :) Everyone was super nice, helpful, accommodating, all that. Things were all set up and ready when we got to camp each day (thanks to Emanuel and the rest of the crew!). The food on the trek was plentiful, nourishing, and delicious, Tents/equipment, All equipment provided by Click Expedition, sleeping bags, tents , Matress where of the high quality and clean,the tents was big and comfortable. Also we got a chemical toilet which was good, especially when it was cold outside and you didn’t want to a (not so nice) public toilet far away. (It’s probably easier for men). I’d definitely climb with Click Expedition Again . I had a great experience. Thanks again to my great group, Highly recommend this hike to everyone.

    The first few days are relatively relaxed and you should take in all the scenery and not worry about the summit. Pole Pole. You will get there when you get there. Every day we had a new scenery which was absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous sunsets, starry nights, wonderful people and complete cut off from civilization, Facebook, internet, telephones.... I cannot praise Click Expedition enough for organizing our trip. All the guides are super professional, very kind and always attentive to our needs. We had a great team with Daniel Emanuel, Evans Joseph and stomach engineer Kiba. We were treated like royalty and ate like kings. We got along so great with this team that when I come next time I am going to request these same guys. Thank you to Click Expedition for organizing our trip, our guides for leading the way and our porters for making life comfortable on the mountain.

    I just did the 8 day Umbwe route with Click Expedition can't recommend them more highly. As a single female traveller I was initially a bit nervous booking with a lesser known local company, but my initial concerns were short lived!. Click Expedition is reliable, safe and very well organised. The guides are brilliantly trained and speak fluent English, the Porters are well taken care of,the equipment is in great condition, there is plenty of food and the entire team truly works together to ensure you get to the Summit. The guys even offer to lend u equipment if you have forgotten to pack anything!! I couldn't have wished for a better experience. If you are looking for an awesome trek at a good price - book with these guys - you won't regret it!!

    Went on a safari and Mt Kilimanjaro climb with Click Expedition. I highly recommend this company! We initially chose them because we knew they were a Tanzanian company (we saw a lot of mt Kilimanjaro climbing companies from other countries. We felt it was important to support a Tanzania company. We were very happy with our choice. Our mountain guides,Emanuel and Daniel, were wonderful, as was our safari guide, Damian. We were well fed during Kilimanjaro & Safari, communication with Brayan reservation manager was promptly. We chose basic, tent camping options for both the climb and safari, and our tents were durable and kept us dry. We were also easily able to rent warm sleeping bags and jackets that we did not want to fly over for the climb. Everything went smoothly and we had a great trip. I hope any future tour companies I work with are as great as this one!

    We just recently got back from an amazing trip to Tanzania organized through Click Expedition. We did an 8 day climb and 3 day safari and it was a wonderful experience. From our guides, to the food to the hiking and safari-ing it couldn't have been better. And Click Expedition has amazing customer service. We had a mishap at the end with our flights and they made sure to cover the cost of a change we had to make and dealt with it with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. I strongly recommend Click Expedition for any adventure travel!

    We just finished our 8 day hike with Click Expedition and I was most impressed by their professionalism and teamwork. Our guide was highly experienced and I got the sense that the porters were treated well. It is reasonably priced and a local company so I was happy that the money you pay stays in Tanzania. We were looked after from the moment we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport to the moment we were dropped back off. I liked the personalised service that they also provided me with- in the months leading up to the climb I had many specific questions and they answered each and every one of them. Their united purpose is truly to get you to the summit safely. The food is excellent. They treat the water before they give it to you. I did not expect to be woken up every morning to hot tea and coffee served to us in our tent! So many little details that made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend anyone considering to climb Kilimanjaro that you don’t need to look any further than these guys. Their packing list is extensive and excellent. Very very pleased with this company.
