Chief's Tours - Fantastic tour operator to climb Kilimanjaro

Recently myself and three others climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. It was something we had been planning to do for a while and had put a lot of research into. We decided to choose Chief's Tours as during correspondance, Adidas the owner of the company, could not have been more helpful.

I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a reputable local company. Adidas started as a porter on Kilimanjaro and has worked his way up to running his own company. As a local Tanzanian company, owned and managed by Adidas, all the money paid to him stays within Tanzania to the benefit of the local community. When we arrived Adidas picked us up at the bus station and brought us to our hotel. He then invited us to his home where his wife cooked us a delicious dinner, they both really made us feel welcome.

That initial evening with Adidas helped put our mind at ease as we were all a little nervous about the challenge that lay before us. Some of our group came without certain things that were required for the climb and Adidas was able to supply us with all the necessary equipment. Once we got on the mountain the whole team from guides to chefs to porters could not have been more professional.

The guides were very knowledgeable and took all precautions to ensure our safety on the mountain. The porters were all very helpful and kind, while the chef did an outstanding job. We were definitely never hungry or thirsty. Despite varying types of altitude sickness amongst our group, the team ensured that we all reached the summit. We even got to celebrate on top with a bottle of bubbly! While in Tanzania, we knew that we could not go home without doing a safari in the Serengeti.

Chief's Tours also offers a wide range of safaris and other tours so we decided that it made sense to do the climb and safari with the one company. Adidas offered us a fantastic deal yet still delivered a service of the highest quality. Here is the link of the website if you are thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro/doing a safari - http://www.chiefstours.com - I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Adidas and all of your team for making our trip in Tanzania one of a lifetime.

We have recently come back from a holiday in Tanzania. Our father has been to visit Tanzania on many occasions and has had many trips organized by a local guide named Adidas who is the owner of the Chiefs tours. Adidas and Shiriwa (driver) took care of every little detail and were a well run professionally and friendly local buisness. Both Adidas and Shiriwa had an amazing range of local knowledge. Everything was planned exceptionally well from our trips.

The day before Adidas and Shiriwa came to meet us to talk about the plan for the next few days, we just told them all the trips that we wanted to do and they planned the rest. They asked us about food likes so they could make us a packed lunch for the trip. The following morning, they picked us up at 6:15 am to start our trip to Lake Manyara National Park. After Lake Manyara, we went to a campsite called Heaven Nature Safari Campsite and Lodge. This campsite was recommended by Adidas and we weren't disappointed. We were greatly welcomed by all staffs and the food was delicious. Adidas and Shiriwa sat up chatting with us that night, we talked about the differences in both our cultures.

The next morning we headed to Ngorongoro Crater where we saw all of the "big five". The road down to the crater was bit teeth clenching but Shiriwa is an excellent driver so put us at ease. After the Ngorongoro crater, we went to visit the Masai Village which was so impressive.

The final tour that we did was the coffee tour. It was just outsite of Moshi. Here we leant how coffee is handmade. We were even involved in making our own coffee and then sat down to drink it. The boys who taught us about how they make coffee were very enthusiastic and lovely. Throughout the trip with both Adidas and Shiriwa, nothing seemed to be a flaw Thank you for an excellent trip that we will never forget. I can't recommend Chief's Tours anymore.

Thank you so much!

Fantastic country! Amazing people! Perfect trip!

Thanks to Adidas and Chief's Tours, we successfully summit-ted via 6 day Machame route. Chief’s Tours offer a service that is almost identical/dare I say better than that of the larger tour providers which are almost twice the cost.

Food rations were enormous and thanks to our cook were also surprisingly tasty even though we were on a mountain! All of the necessary equipment that we did not possess we provided to us free of charge such as sleeping bags/mats etc.

Our guides were very fun and knowledgeable and had ascended the mountain almost 400 times between them – our lead guide Muhammad boasted one of the highest summit success rates for clients of any guide on the mountain. We were first to reach camp each day so had a lot of time to rest and explore the area.

Following our ascent of Kilimanjaro, we had another few days remaining before we left Tanzania. On a few hours notice, Adidas planned a 2-day safari which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. As we had booked our trek with Chief's Tours Adidas organized our safari at a ridiculously cheap price (zero profit margin to Chief's Tours) where we visited Tarangire NP and Ngorogoro Crater.

We also visited Kikuwelta Hotsprings which is one of the best swimming spots I have ever been. It is near Moshi but is very difficult to find!

On the last day of the safari (the day before we were due to fly home) I left my main rucksack in the lodge we had stayed in. This was a 4-hour drive from Moshi where we stayed before flying home. Remarkably Adidas was able to return my bag the following day before we departed Tanzania!

As students with smaller budgets, Adidas provided us with great service for a very affordable price. He met with us throughout our time in Tanzania sharing some great stories and laughs while he organized our entire trip.

Can’t recommend Chief’s Tours more strongly!!!

An ethically credible company, with the friendliest and best staff!

My sister and I summitted Kilimanjaro thanks to Adidas and all of the Chiefs Tours crew. We had the trip of a lifetime! We both arrived from different countries on different days and Adidas made sure that the logistics were all taken care of and our arrivals and transfers were seamless.

As for Kilimanjaro, we couldn't have been happier with the experience and the team that we had. We took the Lemosho Route and summited a day early, reducing the climb from 7 days to 6, as we did not suffer from altitude sickness and were ready to go a day ahead of schedule. We organized a day trip to Arusha Hot Springs through Chiefs Tours for the extra day then returned to Moshi, all were so lovely.

I would definitely recommend Chiefs Tours to anyone considering Kilimanjaro, our guides (Msafiri and Heaven) and our entire team (particularly Juma) were amazing. They made sure all of our needs and interests were met at every step of the way, with massive smiles! Also, we really noted and liked that they all were wearing appropriate and proper gear and equipment for the climb which many other porters were not.

Adidas is running an ethically credible company, with the friendliest and best staff. Asante sana!

Successful and Amazing Kilimanjaro Trip!

We used Chief's Tours to book our Kilimanjaro trip. It was the most AWESOME and AMAZING experience ever!. What a trip!

Adidas and wife Upendo were so good, polite and accommodating. After our experience they arranged us to stay at the Selig Hotel which is only a few minutes from Chief's Tours; transportation to and from the hotel, including the airport. The day we got off the plane we started our hike in the afternoon.

We summited on New Year's day in 2018. We took the Machame route which took us 5 days to reach the top, and a day and a half to reach to the bottom. The guides, Mohammad and Freddy were so so awesome. I truly miss those guys, also need to mention the waiter and cook and the porters. The guides ensured our safety and success to reach the summit and descent. I'm not that fast of a hiker, but they were understanding and set the pace for the climb.

They not only gave us plenty of food for every meal but also brought a lot of snacks, energy bars, and candy, etc. Also after our climb, Chief's Tours arranged us for the Chagga Culture and Coffee, and waterfall tours that are also excellent!

Thank Chief's Tours for everything!
