Mount Kilimanjaro, the Roof of Africa, stands proudly at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) as the highest free-standing mountain in the world and Africa’s tallest peak. Located in Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro National Park, this iconic mountain attracts adventurers from all over the globe who dream of reaching Uhuru Peak, its majestic summit. Unlike many other high-altitude peaks, Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb, making it accessible to both experienced hikers and first-time trekkers. However, the challenge lies in the high altitude, varying terrain, and extreme weather conditions, which require careful preparation and expert guidance.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a journey through five unique ecological zones, from lush rainforests at the base to the arctic-like glaciers at the summit. Trekkers experience a stunning transformation of landscapes, encountering exotic flora and fauna along the way. The journey is not just about reaching the peak; it is an immersive adventure that tests endurance, determination, and mental strength. Whether you choose the scenic Machame Route, the classic Marangu Route, or the remote Lemosho Route, each path offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable trekking experience.
At Tanzania Good Friends Safaris, we are committed to making your Kilimanjaro expedition safe, successful, and unforgettable. Our highly experienced and certified guides are not only experts in mountaineering but also passionate about helping climbers overcome altitude challenges and reach the summit with confidence. We provide top-quality gear, comfortable camping arrangements, nutritious meals, and personalized support, ensuring that your trek is both enjoyable and rewarding.

Elina S2023-12-22 Excellent Safari We booked a 6 days safari trip going to tarangire national park, serengeti and ngorogoro crater. Tanzania good friends safaris picked us up at arusha bus station after a long drive and brought us to the hotel. The next morning we met our tourguide Douglas, he really made our trip more special. We felt safe in his car, could ask him anything about nature and every day he served us a freshly cooked lunch with a glass of wine with an amazing view! All of the lodges we stayed during our trip were amazing as well, clean rooms, nice beds and good food. We were lucky to spot the big 5 on our last day which made our trip complete! Defenitaly would recommend doing your safari trip with Tanzania Good Friends Safaris samir G2023-12-21 Amazing If you are searching for a reliable and honest agency for your exciting safari in Tanzania, search no more. We've had an amazing 6 day safari in 4 different national parks with Tanzania good Friends with Simon as our guide and Ashraf as our cook! Simon is very experienced (10 years!), a good driver and a knowledgeable guide. He surely knows a lot about the animals and where to find them. We liked that he took enough time to observe different animals and took our preferences into account. Ashraf cooked us delicious warm meals 3 times a day (other groups with lunch boxes surely looked at us with envy). 2 nights we slept at a lodge, while other 3 at the campsite in the tents. I found the tents quite large (I could stand in it) and our mattresses quite soft. I liked our adventure very much! Walen B2023-12-18 Amazing experience I had an amazing 5 days with Tanzania Good Friends the tour. I traveled with my daughter, and Elias, as our guide, was simply fantastic. He was very patient, had a beautiful personality, and was incredibly knowledgeable, answering every single question I asked. I am sure my trip wouldn’t have been the same without him! The food was also delicious; I expected to be starving but ended up having so much food. Popcorn before dinner was an added delight. Company doesn’t overcharge, it is Reasonable price as well! Overall, the entire Tanzania Good Friends team communicated really well, and I am so happy. Thank you for your excellent service! If anyone is still searching the company, I highly recommend this company.
