    · March 14th, 2025
    My husband and I loved this trek organized Zara Tours. It was well organized right from the start taking care of everything to the last detail. The trek was led by Lema assisted by Harun and Ben. They guided the expedition well taking care of all the logistical arrangements; tents, food, water, mobile toilet and every detail was catered for. The professional crew was warm, friendly and treated us very well and also ensure that we were safe. We owe our successful summit attempt to Zara Tours. They are amazing

    Trekking up Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours was above our expectations. The guides, porters and chef were helpful and fun people to be with. They became my good friends and will cherish their memories as long as I live. We had some of the best equipment, tents, a portable toilet and sufficient supplies for the whole climbibg party. Getting to the summit was very fulfilling, though it counts as one of the toughest things I have done in a long time. I am so grateful for this experience made possible by Zara Tours

    The whole Kilimanjaro experience with Zara Tours is unforgettable. Rashid our trip designer was on top of his game, quick responses to emails and questions, advice on various routes and so much information leading to the trek. Had a great support team of guides, porters and cook. All very experienced and committed to our successful summit attempt. Food abundant and delicious with fruits and vegetables. Overall, it was fun to complete the ultimate Kilimanjaro challenge.

    We had a wonderful experience doing Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours. The Rongai route is very scenic with breathtaking views as far as the eyes can see. We are truly grateful to all the members of our crew (guides, cook and porters) for excellent support. Their advice and tactics were instrumental to our success. The company provided us with nice comfortable tents, enough food, water, amenities, a mobile toilet, fully kitted first aid box, oxygen bottles and other items that were necessary. I recommend Zara Tours for Kilimanjaro without any reservations.

    We recently came back from Tanzania where we successfully trekked Mount Kilimanjaro using the Rongai route. Zara is top class when it comes to organization. Their attention to detail ensured that nothing was left to chance in terms of equipment, supplies.... to the smallest items. The actual trek was wonderful, our guides were kind, caring, patient, friendly and super helpful. We could not have made it to the summit without them. We are forever grateful for the memories and experience.

    Last month three friends and I climbed Kilimanjaro using the Rongai route. The whole trip was superbly organized and the quality of service turned out better than we expected. The route is of medium difficulty aside from the last night stage leading to the summit which is extremely difficult. I have absolute adoration for Zara Tours becase they gave us an amazing crew, excellent equipment and we had very nice meals at all times. I highly recommend Zara Tours for well planned and organized Kilimanjaro treks.

    Just awesome! The whole trek was well planned, from our arrival at JRO, meet and greet at Springlands Hotel where the whole trek was explained by Joseph the main guide to the actual trek. We had a great crew of professional guides, porters and cook who were efficient and hardworking, however above all they are kind, caring and very fun to be during the weeklong adventure. They kept close watch on our health, with daily checks before breakfast and after dinner before we tucked in our tents. The conditions are quite rough; biting cold weather, constrained living space but the accomplishment of reaching the summit made it worth it. I would not change anything given another opportunity. Thank you Zara Tours

    It was an epic journey to the top of Kilimanjaro via Rongai route. The trek was not easy and the support of the wonderful crew led by Yesse Lema was the difference that took us to the summit. We could have failed miserably without their support. The trail goes through the different habitats and as we went higher we had awesome views of beautiful landscapes down below and we confirmed the words of Mike our travel consultant that Rongai has the best views. I had mild Altitude sickness and the crew was at hand with herbal remedies that had me better within a short while. It was just me and my girlfriend on the climb which made it very intimate. Thank you for great equipment, tasty meals, all the water, bathroom convenience and above all the duty and care of getting 2 armature climbers safely to the summit.
