Mount Kilimanjaro: Africa's Majestic Summit

We would like to thank the entire team who accompanied us on our successful ascent of Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route in July 2026. We thoroughly enjoyed the competent and cheerful nature of the guides and porters, and Richard's fabulous cooking. Special thanks go to Peter, the manager of TWENDE, who organized everything perfectly and was always ready to listen to our needs. We look forward to seeing you again. Hans and Doris

★★★★★ – Exceptional Experience with Twende Africa! We climbed Kilimanjaro with Twende Africa and it was, honestly, a flawless experience from start to finish. Peter was extremely professional and well-organized – before the climb he provided all the necessary information, clearly structured, so we felt fully prepared and confident. On the mountain, our guide Baraka was absolutely outstanding. Highly skilled, technically excellent, and truly attentive to every person in our group of five. Thanks to his guidance and the way he managed our acclimatization, all of us reached the summit with no issues or risks. He was always proactive, supportive, and genuinely committed to our comfort and safety. The entire team – porters, cooks, waiters – matched the same high standard: kindness, professionalism, respect, efficiency, friendly smiles, and impeccable service throughout the whole journey. We felt supported every single step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Twende Africa. A top-notch team, exceptional guiding, and a climb with 100% success! 🌍✨

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

I cannot sing enough praises for Peter and his team on our adventure of hiking Kilimajaro via Lemosho. From the very beginning, Peter was very prompt in answering all our questions and guiding us on what to expect on the journey. We were a group of 4 including 2 fifteen year olds. Baraka and Kalvin were our lead guides. They always made sure we were comfortable and set a comfortable pace for the journey. They were extremely patient knowledgeable. Every night we had a briefing of what the expect for the next day. Daily monitoring of our oxygen levels and heart rates. Shout out to our cook and waiter (Richie and David). I had previously read on blogs that we should be carrying our own hot sauces – Not with this chef. Full breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner + snacks for the road! Not one meal was repeated – and with a taste that can beat any established restaurant. The soups were the best. David made sure we were eating well to build stamina. The soul of our team were the porters, these guys know – and I’m not exaggerating, every rock in the terrain. They would pack up after we left for our hike, beat us to the next camp, have everything setup before we reached with hot meals ready to serve. Some porters would also make the trek back towards us, to take our backpacks and lighten the load – they operate as one team. When you see them going up and down these steep terrains, with the amount of weight on their backs, your own achievement of summitting becomes very humbling – they do it day in and day out. Baraka and Kalvin kept up a pace that was comfortable for us on summit night - with constant encouragement. We also had 2 extra summit porters to assist on the hike, and we could not have done it without them. Us coming from sea-level, carrying even 5 pounds on top the heavy clothing you’re wearing feels like carrying 40 pounds. Twende ensured that we tasted success and would not have been possible without the entire team. Would highly recommend Twende for your Kili Hike - Best of all, they are a local company and they treat everyone well!!!

I had the pleasure of joining the Moshi City Tour led by Peter, and it exceeded all expectations. His deep knowledge of the city's history and culture, made the experience both educational and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Moshi and its people.
