Chief Tours is AMAZING
From the moment we arrived at the lodge, everyone was extremely nice and accommodating. The day we left for the mountain, the crew took their time to ensure all of our gear was adequate and that we had everything we needed. The entire crew went above and beyond the whole time to make sure we were safe, well fed (the food was absolutely AMAZING), hydrated, and of course enjoying the experience. They kept a manageable pace for us during the hikes to ensure we could manage it and I’m really proud to say that I made it to the top! I honestly would have not been able to make it if it wasn’t for the guides. Not only were they carrying everything but they were also encouraging without pushing too far and also mentally prepared is every night for what was coming the following day. I would recommend Chief Tours for anyone considering this experience. They’ll do their best to make sure your probabilities of success are as high as possible and we’ll do everything to give you the best experience possible.

Kilimanjaro and Safari
After much research online, we finally decided to go with Chiefs Tours. I think we couldn’t have done a better choice. Thank you Adidas for putting together an unforgettable adventure for us! We (my boyfriend and I) did a 6-day Kilimanjaro trek up the Machame route and then a 3-day Safari. Adidas was always very helpful in answering all our questions before arrival. He is also very experienced and often anticipated our needs better than ourselves. The extra days before and in between we stayed at Kilele lodge where we were very well taken care of. Adidas made sure we had an amazing experience all the way and even came to say farewell to us at the airport. - Kilimanjaro – Machame route 6 days:10 out of 10! We are so glad we found Chiefs Tours and Adidas. Adidas put together the best team to help us up to the top of the mountain. The team of ten (2 mountain guides, 1 chef, 1 waiter, and 6 porters) solved everything so well. The food was great and with the encouraging words and support from our amazing guides, Washingtone and Elias, we made it to Uhuru peak. The team adapted well to our needs and possibilities, and we always felt safe with them. Thank you so much for making this such a memorable experience. - Safari 3 days – Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara:9 out of 10! It is hard to top the Kilimanjaro trek, but Adidas organized a great 3-day safari for us. We were introduced to our safari guide who stayed with us for three days. We stayed at a nice lodge where we also had dinner and breakfast. We also got a lunch box to eat in the national park (fighting of the monkeys). For three days we visited three different national parks and saw the big five and the big seven! Big thanks to our safari guide for sharing his knowledge and driving us around.

I loved it!
It was my first trip to Africa, and choosing Chiefs Tours as my travel agency was one of the best decisions I've ever made.Climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, was certainly not an easy task. I got terrible altitude sickness, and the summit day was one of the most difficult days of my life. So, Julius, my guide, had changed my climbing routine to be more adaptable to the mountain's high altitude, and it worked well.When I was planning my trip to Tanzania, I was able to locate a number of tour companies. Chiefs Tours, on the other hand, has one of the most reasonable prices of any company I looked into. Even though they had a much lower price than others, they provided amazing services and had amazing employees. The Kilele lodge where I stayed as my lodging also had a very kind and generous staff. They did my laundry for free, and we always had delicious lunches together. I extended my trip, but I didn't have to pay any additional fees for lodging. In addition, I misplaced my bag in Zanzibar, but thanks to Adidas, I was able to retrieve it in just two days.As a young Asian girl, traveling alone can be intimidating at times, but Tanzania was a very safe and friendly country, and it is without a doubt my favorite country I've ever visited.Thank you to everyone at Chiefs Tours and Kilele Lodge who treated me like their daughter and sister, and it was an honor to be a part of their family.The last three weeks in Tanzania were the happiest moment of my life, and I made many unforgettable memories there. If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, especially if you want to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, book your trip with this incredible company! You, like me, would start a new family in Tanzania!

Kilimanjaro trip
I started researching my Kilimanjaro trip a while back, spoke to more than 10 company’s and ended up selecting Chief Tours. Adidas was quick to respond and answered all my questions. A few reasons why I chose chief tours. They were flexible with my schedule as I wasn’t sure of the exact date I would arrive due to my working schedule. Chief tours was best value I found for a solo private tour. A late decision from my friend to join the trip, made two in total. I had been training for a year and wanted to push myself to complete the hike as quickly as possible, I needed a tour company and team to work with me on my time scale. 4 days. We arrived in Moshi - Adidas met us at the airport and took us to the hotel, checked in around 11pm.The next morning we met the team and packed up our gear heading off to Kilimanjaro.Our team of 12 was unbelievable, two guides, 1 chef, 1 waiter, 8 porters lugged all of the equipment around and catered to our every needs. We pushed the team as I wanted to go fast skipping camp sites to make long days of hiking in order to make a faster ascent. The team did more than keep up they pushed even harder to make sure they got to the camp site first and set up. Very impressive what these guys do.Our guide where excellent, good English and very knowledgeable on route explaining the mountain to us.The food was wonderful exactly what you want on the mountain and plenty of it. I don’t know how they do it! Thanks chef! I am a vegan they catered to my dietary requirements. On arrival back we celebrated with the team, singing dancing and a few beers! Adidas had our luggage ready and his driver take us to Arusha shortly after.We had an incredible trip that was made possible due to this tour company and their team. I highly recommend them for anyone who want to complete the mountain quicker that what you find online or if your like me and need flexibility with your trip. These guy work with your schedule.Thanks to Chief Tours - Adidas and your team for making our trip an unforgettable experience.

Good day with no happy end
The two of us booked a one day trip to Arusha National Park including game drive and walking tour with Adidas. The tour was a beautiful experience, and especially the walking tour was amazing because it is a totally different and unique way of doing safari. Lunch was provided and the portion was big. Unfortunately the start was delayed by 1.5hrs without letting us know. This was really unprofessional, especially because Adidas had our phone number and did not pick up the phone despite lots of tries on our side. We agreed (and confirmed multiple times!) on a compensation in form of a free airport transfer from Arusha. Sadly, he did not keep his promise and stepped back from his offer after the tour and communicated this to us via whatsapp. He argued that we had booked a safari with him even though we explicitly told him that we would only CONSIDER his safari offer. It is really unprofessional, disappointing and weak how Adidas twisted the situation towards his own good. Too bad - because it was such a nice day trip with him.

Dreamy Machame route and amazing company
I highly, highly recommend Adidas' Chief's tour company. As a solo traveller, I was looking for a safe and fun hiking environment. I got Adidas' contact through a trustworthy mountain guide working in Kenya, and, after a phone conservation, I decided to book my 7-day Machame route tour through his company. Still today, I am very happy with this decision! I felt well taken care off already prior to my departure and throughout the entire trip, and I could not have dreamed of a more personalised service. Adidas arranged my transport from Nairobi to Moshi, came to greet me when I arrived, made sure that I had all the correct equipment and that I reached home safely. He also organised a private tour to visit the Materuni waterfalls and a nice coffee farm prior to Kilimanjaro trip. I cannot stress enough how professional and kind his staff is, whether at the Kilele hotel or the porter crew. Bariki, Porteus, Twalibu and the rest of the group are all mountain heroes! A special mention goes to Deus, our guide, who was very competent and patient – someone we could rely on entirely. After discussion with him, we decided to finish the Machame route in 6 days, and we reached Uhuru peak in 6 hours. This would not have been possible without his support, or that of the crew! I am grateful for the human exchanges, and I will remember this trip for a lifetime. Asante Adidas and everyone!

Absolutely incredible experience with this company and our climb up Mount Kilimanjaro
My sister and I did the climb up Mount Kilimanjaro with Chief Tours and cannot speak highly enough about this company! The whole team was incredible to work with from start to finish and made it possible for us to accomplish a lifelong dream. They were kind and patient and incredibly knowledgeable on the mountain. I would trust them to take great care of anyone and get them to the top of the mountain! The food was wonderful and the people in our crew were some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. I highly recommend this company if you are doing the climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.

Il kilimangiaro lungo la Marangu route
Da anni sognavo di salire sul Kilimagiaro e questo è stato possibile grazie a Chief's Tour. Organizzazione perfetta. Ogni giorni il cuoco prepara ottimi e abbondanti piatti. Le guide sono molto preparate e lungo il percorso raccontano tante cose su questi luoghi magnifici. La salita in vetta è la parte più difficile per il rischio di mal di montagna.

Me and my girlfriend used Chiefs tour when we arranged our trip to Tanzania. From start to end they were Amazing and helped us with everything. The trip to Kilimanjaro were really nice and both our tourguide (Washington) and his crew were great and the food was amazing as well! Afterwards we went on a 4 days safari tour and had an amzing time and saw alot of animals.We had a great vacation and we can thank Chiefs tours for that so we can really recommend Chiefs if you want to go to Tanzania.//Pontus & Michaela
