Testimonials

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!

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!!!

Without Chief's Tour Supporting team, it was impossible for me to get to the top of Kilimanjaro. Because it was physically and mentally challenging, everyone tried to take care of me as I was the only women in the group full of big men. From the first moment meeting Adidas and the team in town, I already had a very good impression and feeling about the memorable trip.
Thank you so much, the main guide Msafiri for your nice care as a father to daughter, the assistant guide Heaven for his great patience and encouragement, the chef Jay for his tasty food, the porter Godfrey for saving my life when I got serious altitude sickness, and the other porters for their positivity and energy in spite of their extremely hard job!
The mountain not only brought us an unforgettable experience, it also gave me good friendships and more motivation to come back to Tanzania where I left a big part of my heart.
Travel with Chief's Tours and you'll understand why the company and Adidas himself are well respected by local residents thanks to their contribution to local community. I wish you all the best: best health, best luck and best spirit!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, CHIEF'S TOURS!

My brother, sister and I came to Tanzania with a goal in mind - to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with very little preparation. We did some research on several companies before our arrival, and as well with a very encouraging recommendation from a friend we decided to go with Chief's Tours.

They were very accommodating in every way; from arrival into the country, persistent contact with the airport when our luggage didn't arrive with us, allowing us to hire any gear we were missing and of course - the impossible feat of getting us to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa! We did the Lemosho route in 7 days/6 nights with another Aussie, our two guides, Nicholas and Mohamed and a team of 12 including a chef, waiter, and porters! We did not expect the hot meals, hot tubs of water to wash, and the incredible porters that rushed to the next campsite to ensure excellent camping spots!! Our families made contact with the company during the trek, and Adidas was kind enough to send regular reports on our progress!

We were so impressed with the company that we decided to do a 4 day/3 night safari with them - Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro crater and conservation area. Our guides, Dhili and Shirima, and our chef Hamisi made this trip very enjoyable and a relaxing change of pace after the trek. We saw all of the Big 5, and were very well fed and hydrated with water and even beers!

No question would go unanswered prior to the trips as Adidas and his team wanted to ensure you are as prepared as you can be. Adidas and his team are very well respected in Moshi town, as they support the local community and look after their employees well! Anyone you talk to in town talks very highly of them! We would happily recommend this company to all our friends and families who are interested in traveling to Tanzania.

If you go with anyone else, you’re doing it wrong!

My wife and I, along with 8 friends, recently spent two weeks seeing Tanzania with Chief’s Tours. Adidas was there to greet us at 10:00 PM on a Saturday night when we got off the plane, and only stepped up the service from there. He arranged for a driver to pick us up the next morning and take us to relax with plenty of drinks and our own cook at some local hot springs, then gave us a thorough briefing and gear check before setting off the next day to climb Kilimanjaro on an 8-day trek of the Lemosho route.

The climb could not have been smoother. Our guides (Emmanuel, Emanuel 2, Mohammed, and Niklaus) were experienced, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend our eight days with. The staff of cooks and porters were equally professional. They took special care of my wife and me who have very specific dietary restrictions. Actually, they were much more accommodating of our diets than Delta/KLM was, and the food was outstanding! Ask Mateo to make you his lentil “Amaze-balls” (my term, not his). There was never a point on this trip where I felt the least bit hungry or unsatisfied. When it came time for our summit day, our lead guide, Emmanuel Washington, really put his 189 summits worth of experience on Kilimanjaro to good use. He told us exactly when to wake up, when we would get started, and how long our group would take it to make it to the rim at Stella Point by sunrise. He absolutely nailed it! We hit Stella Point just as the first rays of light hit the horizon and were rewarded with the most amazing sunrise I’ve ever seen. Emmanuel then took a camera from one of our group members and ran around (at 19,000 ft remember) taking photos of everyone in the group making their way along the rim the rest of the way to the summit!

Our guides were also accommodating when a couple other members of the group and I wanted to take a couple side trips along the way and climb Shira Cathedral and Lava Tower. They went above and beyond the whole time.

Following the climb, we went on a four-day safari. This was initially an issue because we needed to do laundry following our climb in order to have clothes for the safari and our hotel wasn’t going to be able to get it done in time. Another group member emailed Adidas hoping he’d know of a laundromat where we could take our clothes that evening. Instead, one of his employees came to our hotel within 30 minutes to get all of our laundries. It was dry cleaned and delivered to us at our first safari stop over five hours away the next morning!

The safari itself was incredible. Our driver, Arnold, knew right where to take us to see all of the animals. We had incredibly close encounters with elephants, lions, hippos, warthogs, giraffes, etc. He even got us within just a few feet of a pride of lions feeding on a wildebeest! Accommodations on the safari were the first-rate, especially considering that we went with the mid-tier option. I don’t know what’s included when you option up from mid-tier, but it would have to be pretty impressive to beat our experience.

We had a day in Moshi after our safari was over and figured we would just walk around and shop a bit. We went to breakfast and were then pleasantly surprised to see our mountain guide Emanuel waiting to greet us in the hotel lobby. He had come to walk with us around Moshi and make sure we made it to all of the best places. He even walked us to a small village of artists hidden within a park in the middle of the city where my wife and I got our favorite new painting. We would never have found that place on our own. Adidas then arrived to see us off to the airport in plenty of time for our flight back to the US.

Like I said before, if you’re going to Tanzania and not booking your activities through Chief’s Tours, you’re doing it wrong.
