Climbed Mr Kilimanjaro off season. Was a very good experience with next to no one at the Peak. Supported by an experienced local guide, I was able to summit and get back safely.

Mount Kilimanjaro Reviews from Trip Advisor

Lemosho Route Reviews

We were a group of 3 people who made the 8-day ascent of the

Lemosho route – descent Mweka Kilimanjaro Trek. Climbing Kilimanjaro under Tranquil Kilimanjaro was fabulous because we really had a great experience and we got the best service. Diannah, who is incharge of reservations, contacted us all the time and the communication was easy as he made all the logistical arrangements and the price was absolutely reasonable in addition This trip exceeded my expectations Everything was well planned, from arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, transfers to the hotel and back and of course the duration of the trek The route that we chose is very scenic and each day presented different sites. And this route helped us acclimatize to the high altitude and increased our chances of success before trying to Uhuru Peak. The food was delicious and varied every day, served with fruits and vegetables, including coffee and tea. I couldn’t believe how creative the chef was at producing hot food on the mountain. In general, we could not have asked for a better guide and a better team than those at Tranquil The hike was great, it was a great success to stand at the top and we could not have done it without the support of this team we were strong and fit and for that, we finished the hike a day earlier. It made for a truly remarkable experience. We had a great trip to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and even after. I would highly recommend this company without any hesitation.

Machame Route Reviews

We just got back from our Kilimanjaro and safari tours which we booked to celebrate my birthday. We’re so glad we booked through Tranquil Kilimanjaro as we couldn’t have asked for a better tour operator. The reservations manager, Diannah, made sure the trip was smoothly done by answering multiple emails before our arrival, to setting up our airport transfers and meeting us before and after our Kilimanjaro climb and before the Tanzania safari to ensure we were completely ready and satisfied. Our guide, Victor and the whole climbing crew even threw me a surprise birthday celebration at the end of our Kilimanjaro climb with a lunch, cake, champagne, beer and sang Happy Birthday. It was really a special surprise! The Kilimanjaro climb was an unforgettable experience. We booked the 7-day Machame Route. The climb could not have been possible without the help of the entire crew to carry all our personal equipment, set up and take down each base camp, cook breakfast, lunch and dinner and provide an excellent level of service to make us feel right at home on the mountain. We woke up every morning to ginger tea and were well fed. The food was delicious and plenty for us. We loved our guides as they were with us every step of the way and helped us survive on summit night. Climbing to the Summit was an intense experience and we’d highly recommend creating a playlist and listening to music all the way up. It was all worth it once you get to see the sunrise at the peak! After the climb we booked a 4 day/3-night safari through Tranquil Journeys which is also part of Tranquil Kilimanjaro. It was really the icing on a fantastic trip. We got to see so many animals and watch some fascinating predators hunt. We saw a pack of lionesses’ hunt wildebeest and a crocodile bite off a zebra’s butt. Our safari guide, Amiri was fantastic at spotting out animals from miles and miles away. He was also genuinely excited and was very knowledgeable about all the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and felt taken care of the whole time by Victor and his team. Thanks again Tranquil Kilimanjaro!

Marangu Route Reviews

After doing research on which route to use and asking many questions, we finally settled for the Marangu Route, the 6 days itinerary to be precise then added a short 5 day safari to the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. it worked so well with us such that we feel like we did not have enough. We might come back next time for Zanzibar Beach Holidays too. So sad about the Covid-19 pandemic, wish we did another trip sooner. The food was fantastic and both our mountain guide, the porters and the safari guide were amazing, friendly and social. The highlight of the trip was staying at Katikati tented camp, Serengeti is magical. Mount Kilimanjaro was tough but we made it to the top. it was worth it. See you soon and stay safe.

Northern Circuit Route Reviews

The Northern Circuit was fairly easy. This being our third time climbing a mountain in Tanzania, ww chose the new and longer route called the

Northern Circuit route. We had climbed Mount Meru a fee years before then Mount Kilimanjaro on our fast attempt later on. Mount Meru is more steep and comparing the Northern Circuit and Machame, Machame is a little bit harder. This time round we had enough time to acclimatize. The route is beautiful and scenic especially the Northern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. We noticed though that the glaciers were diminishing but we are happy that the government is taking measures to reduce waste in the mountain by banning the use of plastic bags. As usual the food was fresh and hot, our cook did a great job all along. Our guides were understanding and together with the porters who were very helpful. Word of advise. Drink as much water as possible.

Rongai Route Reviews

We are a group of vegans that always dreamt of climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After doing some research online and contacting the reservation team for Tranquil KILIMANJARO, we eventually settled of a date for climbing by choosing the longer 7 days Rongai route and also choosing the perfect time of the year to climb. The reason we chose the longer route is because we needed more time to acclimatize and conserve our energy by climbing slowly. We were not in a hurry anyway as success was our first priority. The chef knew what he was doing by sticking to a strictly plant based diet and yummy energy giving foods. one challenges was finding vegan or plant based protein bars so we found amazing alternatives to keep us going and healthy. All in all, our guides were really helpful and they made our climb easy and we did not experience any altitude sickness. We have to admit, the midnight climb to the summit was a huge challenge but we made it to the top before sunrise.

Umbwe Route Reviews

We successfully made it to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro when we booked the 6 days Umbwe Route thanks to the great support from our guides and porters from Tranquil Kilimanjaro. It wasnt easy but so much worth every bit of the climb. We loved the meals and the sunrise at Stella Point

Mount Kilimanjaro Testimonials

All of these come from smart customers who, like you, had to assess the advantages and disadvantages of choosing one firm over another, or selecting between one budget and another, or between Lemosho and Machame.
You may be sure that I offer top-notch service and pay close attention to every little thing, especially when it comes to safety and logistics. When evaluating what is and is not included, keep in mind to compare apples with apples. Comparing, for instance, a more affordable 5-day Marangu Route to a costly 8-day Lemosho or 9-day northern Circuit Route would be fruitless.

Please make sure you carefully review the inclusions and exclusions after choosing your route (and if you really want to summit and return smoothly, then you have to choose the longer routes because the chances of summit success are so much better).

There will likely be “cheap” offers available, but they might not include your accommodation before and after your climb or some hidden charges. That is a scam, not a cheap offer.

With our tours, you receive all the features in addition to the greatest mountain guides, top-notch weather predictions, delicious cuisine, and some of the best logistical support on the mountain.

Additionally, you are receiving the greatest acclimatization regimen available. You are not merely another client to us. You’ll be a big part of the information flow and be in charge of the journey.

So kindly read the testimonials again and pay attention to what they have to say.

The Significance of Reviews: Why They Matter More Than You Think

In the age of digital connectivity, reviews have emerged as a powerful tool that influences our choices, decisions, and perceptions. From choosing a restaurant for dinner to planning an adventurous journey, the importance of reviews cannot be overstated. Let’s delve into why reviews matter more than you might realize.

1. Authenticity and Transparency

Reviews provide authentic insights into products, services, and experiences. They come from real people who have interacted with a business or engaged in an activity. This transparency allows potential consumers to access unfiltered opinions and make informed choices. In a world inundated with marketing messages, reviews offer a genuine perspective that cuts through the noise.

2. Building Trust

Trust is the cornerstone of any successful relationship, whether it’s between a business and its customers or a traveler and a destination. Positive reviews build trust by validating the claims made by a business. They showcase real-life instances of customer satisfaction and demonstrate that promises are being fulfilled. Moreover, a mix of positive and constructive reviews fosters credibility, as it portrays a balanced picture of the offering.

3. Peer Recommendations

Humans are naturally inclined to seek advice and recommendations from peers. Reviews act as virtual word-of-mouth, replicating the personal recommendations we seek from friends and family. When potential customers see that others have had positive experiences, they’re more likely to engage with a product or service. This peer validation adds a layer of reliability to decision-making.

4. Insightful Decision-Making

Whether it’s a mundane purchase or a life-changing adventure, reviews help us make better decisions. They provide insights into the pros and cons of a product or service, allowing us to weigh our options objectively. Reviews often highlight aspects that might not be apparent from a business’s promotional content, helping us avoid potential pitfalls.

5. Enhancing Experiences

Reviews play a pivotal role in enhancing customer experiences. Negative reviews offer businesses an opportunity to identify areas of improvement and rectify shortcomings. This feedback loop fosters a culture of continuous enhancement, ultimately benefiting future customers. Positive reviews, on the other hand, reinforce the value of a service, motivating businesses to maintain high standards.

6. Empowerment of Consumers

Reviews empower consumers by giving them a voice. They provide an avenue for customers to express their opinions and share their experiences, creating a sense of agency. When consumers feel heard and valued, it strengthens their connection to a brand or service provider.

7. Constructive Feedback Loop

For businesses, reviews serve as a constructive feedback loop. They offer valuable insights into customer preferences, pain points, and expectations. This information can inform strategic decisions, product development, and customer service improvements. In essence, reviews bridge the gap between businesses and their target audience, fostering a symbiotic relationship.

Tranquil Kilimanjaro Reviews

In an era defined by information abundance, Tranquil Kilimanjaro reviews emerge as guiding lights amidst the clutter. They aid in decision-making, foster trust, and facilitate meaningful connections between consumers and businesses. Whether you’re planning a vacation, exploring a new restaurant, or considering a purchase, embracing the power of reviews is a step toward making well-informed choices.
