I had an unforgettable adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro with MJ Safaris. This was my first long trek and the highest altitude I’ve ever been to. However, thanks to the incredible team, I was able to complete the trek and enjoy every moment of it. A huge thank you to my guide, Silvano. He was exceptional at pacing, ensuring we took breaks at the right moments, which was especially important given the challenging nature of the trek. He was also incredibly knowledgeable, knowing every tree and flower on the mountain. His passion for climbing and nature was truly inspiring, and it kept me going, not just on Kilimanjaro, but in my future mountain adventures as well. The climbing crew was incredibly kind and encouraging, which made the trek feel like a team effort. Every day, I was greeted with warm smiles. The porters climbed incredibly fast and always helped find the best spots to set up camp. The food and camping equipment provided by MJ Safaris were the best at the campsite—not only for me but also for the climbing crew. It’s clear that MJ Safaris truly values the well-being of their staff, which made the entire experience feel even more supportive and comfortable. Additionally, the logistics were flawless. The pick-up and accommodation arrangements before and after the tour were well-organized, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. Without the support of the MJ Safaris, I would not have been able to complete the trek. I highly recommend MJ Safaris to anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro.

The experience I had with MJ Safaris was amazing. Our short safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro went flawlessly, from airport collection to drop-off. Our guide, Valerian, was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and had exceptional animal identification abilities. Additionally, he was very flexible, accommodating our requests and making sure we got everything we wanted from the trip!

I visited Tanzania last September included climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and Safari. Mr. Athuman attended myself for climbing Mt. kilimanjaro, which I selected Lemosho route for 8days. He has more than 300 times which guide to the summit. So it is enough experience, especially last attacking to the summit. He helped myself very much to guide to the summit. Also Mr. Nelly guided to the Safari, included Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti field. He showed many nature and animals politely. These guys are very friendly and professional. You may feel relaxing and enjoy Tanzania very much. I recommend 100%.
