Testimonials

I wanted to share with you how completely satisfied Rosemary and I are with the trip you executed for us. We weren’t sure what to expect, but found that everything exceeded our expectations. Rosemary initiated the idea of a Kilimanjaro climb and safari. She had done a lot of research and had specific ideas about what she wanted to see which included Mount Kilimanjaro via the Rongai Route, the Ngorongoro Crater Highland and the Serengeti. We were able to visit all these highlights as well as a few additional areas like Lake Manyara based on your suggestions. For the trek, we enjoyed learning about the flora, fauna, and the mountain as we climbed. Your wealth of knowledge about the area was obvious and extremely educational. We enjoyed seeing new plants and animals as well as seeing some that are common to our country as well. The best part of the trek is that Rosemary and I were both able to achieve our goal and gain bragging rights to say we were successful in our summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. That’s quite an accomplishment for Rosemary who is 70 years young and me at 40 with no previous extreme altitude experience. It was comforting to realize that you are also very knowledgeable about signs and symptoms of altitude sickness. There was a lot of focus on being careful to walk slowly, eat right and drink a lot of water. Rosemary and I were both extremely pleased and surprised with the quality and quantity of food provided during the climb. In addition, all of the porters were great and performed their respective roles so well. Chief’s Tours employees were the nicest, hardest working people I’ve ever had helping me! I can’t say enough about what a great job they all did!! Thanks to Chief’s Tours for making this the trip of a lifetime!!

I have just returned from an advetnture of a life time facilitated by Adidasi and his team of cool friendly tour guides and porters.We succesfully summited 'Kili' in 6 days via the Lemosho trail and it was unforgetable expirience.

Adidas was a total proffessional and went beyound above his duty to ensure we had the holliday/expedition of life time.The tour guides and porters were knwolegable and likeable guys with a great attitude and fun,positive personalities.Each morning and at the end of each day whilist walking up 'Kili'the guides and porters would set the tone and feel of the day by dancing and singing a range of songs in honor of the mountain and the oportunity to climb.This was the high light of day and we looked forward to "jamming"along with the team.

It was fantastic for team and moral and team building!!!Other groups appered quite envious and took photos and videos to capture the moment.

Summit night was difficult but nothing harder then you would expect,but Chiefs tours where there every step of the way!Post "Kili" Adidas done every thing in his power ensure we had holliday of a life time and he trully is honorable and fantastic bloke he took care of all our concerns when in country and we didnt to worry about anything!"Hakuna Matata"

Tank you for an amaizing trip!:-

We had such a good time on our trip up Kilimanjaro. It was hard work, but Adidas and his team were absolutely fantastic. Very supportive, pole pole, up for a laugh and a joke. We will treasure the memories from our trip, and we're still repeating some of our favourite catchphrases! Adidas and his team were lovely from start to finish and couldn't have done more to help us have a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend.

I made an excellent decision by choosing to Climb Kilimanjaro with Chief Tours for the following four reasons:

First, in regards to "social responsibility" and the treatment of the crew (food and lodging), after spending 6 days climbing with Chief Tours, I can testify that Chief Tours meets or exceeds other tour operators.

Second, unlike many of the Kilimanjaro operators, Chief Tours is a Tanzanian company. Therefore, instead of losing a majority of the profit to a head office in Europe, America, or Australia, the profit goes toward developing the local community by way of better wages for Chief Tours employees.

Third, Octait (my guide) was exceptional. He knew all of the short-cuts, and ensured that I was well rested and hydrated at all times.

Fourth, everyday I was served a wide array of fresh and delicious foods. The foods included: Beef, Fish, Chicken, Mango, Pineapple, Avocado, Cassava, and many more.

I summited Kili in June 2015, the whole experience has been a life changing experience and that is thanks to the hospitality and professionalism of Chief Tours and the work beyond the call of duty of the Adidas. Kili is truly a great mountain and a serious physical challenge, I urge you to use Chief Tours if you are attempting to climb her.
