Fantastic experience, couldn’t recommend this company highly enough. I was solo, they made me feel safe and looked after. I booked last minute as another company let me down the night before. From the moment I contacted Innocent, his booking information was clear, great communication and customer service. My driver Daniel and hiking guide Tulisa were both great fun and I had the best day hike! Thank you for arranging my hike the night before, much appreciated.

Just completed my Kilimanjaro climb today, and what an experience it was! 🏔️ I chose **Habari Adventure**, a local company in Moshi, and I’m really glad I did. From the beginning, **Stan, the owner, was incredibly responsive and helpful**, and he offered us a competitive price. But what stood out most was the team. Our **guide was excellent**—he planned each day carefully, kept us informed, stayed close to us throughout the trek, and even carried our backpacks at times so we could concentrate on hiking and enjoying the experience. Our **chef was amazing**, preparing delicious and varied meals that honestly made us look forward to coming back to camp! The **waiter took great care of us**, from tea and meals and all the little things that made life at camp comfortable. The **private toilet was kept super clean**, and our **porters were incredibly friendly and hardworking**. Kilimanjaro was challenging, but having such a great team around us made the journey so much more enjoyable. I’m grateful to every one of them for helping make this an experience I’ll remember for a very long time. **Thank you, Stan and the entire Habari Adventure team! I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro.**

The hike, our mountain guide Zeno, our driver Nasibu, our contact person Innocent were all absolutely incredible. We Highly recommend this experience to everyone seeking for an experience to Mount Kilimanjaro, especially a day hike through Marangu Route Choose safari roam tours and your will never regret. Thank you very much!!!!!

I had a remarkable experience on my Kilimanjaro day hike via the Marangu Route with Safari Roam Tours. From start to finish, the company delivered professional service, clear communication, and thoughtful organization. The pickup was punctual, the briefing was helpful, and the guide made sure I was fully prepared for the hike. The Marangu Route offers beautiful scenery, and the day hike allowed me to enjoy the rainforest, wildlife, and the peaceful atmosphere of the mountain. We hiked at a steady, comfortable pace and reached Mandara Hut, where the views expanded and the energy of Kilimanjaro truly set in. Even though it was just a day hike, it still felt like a memorable adventure. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire trek. His experience and insights enhanced the journey, and I felt safe and well-supported the whole time. For travelers who want to experience Kilimanjaro but don’t have time for a multi-day climb, this day hike is an excellent option. Safari Roam Tours provided a reliable and enjoyable experience, and I would confidently recommend them for both day hikes and longer expeditions.

A rewarding Kilimanjaro day hike via Marangu offers lush rainforest views, playful colobus monkeys, and misty trails. Though we didn’t summit, the journey to Mandara Hut was scenic and invigorating—perfect for a taste of Kilimanjaro’s beauty.

I recently did a one-day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route with Kanje Grand Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, professional, and enjoyable. Our guide Hamza was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly supportive throughout the hike. He shared interesting facts about the mountain, local plants, and the history of the route, making the journey even more meaningful. His experience really showed, and he made sure we were safe, motivated, and enjoying ourselves every step of the way.

I organized this last minute and they were so accommodating. My guide Wille was excellent. He set a pace at my level and also speed to ensure I made the climb within the time frame. He was supportive and encouraging and knew how to motivate me to make sure I achieved the goal of getting to the crater. He pointed out wildlife and birds and really added to the quality of the whole experience. He was also kind to take photos. The walk itself was beautiful and challenging. They also accommodated my friend who was injured. He did a shorter hike to a close waterfall. This hike was truly the highlight of my trip to Tanzania. Thank you, Kanje Grand Tours.

It was a wonderful hike on the Marangu forests - Moorlands with views of the top of Mt Kilimanjaro for the whole hike. The guide was very experienced and helpful. He pointed animals, like monkeys and birds along the way. The box lunch was good and I had good communication with the company the whole time.

My husband and I did this hike and it was very challenging. It was raining and I didn’t think I could make it, but Abdi our guide took my hand and provided encouragement. With his help I made it to the top. I 100% recommend Abdi as a guide. He was patient and very kind.

We really enjoyed the rainforest. We saw very few animals but we noticed monkeys and birds. The path is easy to moderate so we had no problem. Our guide was knowledgeable and he happily answered all our questions.

Staff was really nice and helpful, starting from chatting with manager before arriving until the trip with driver. Driver told us a lot of interesting things about history f the mountain, flora and fauna of the region and nature of Tanzania. It was day full of surprises, exciting views and good company. Lunch was good quality and very delicious.

My wife and I would like to thank you for the great Kilimanjaro experience we had in Tanzania. From the very start your communication by e-mail and telephone were easy and great.

It was an unforgettable tour. We visited Kilimanjaro National Parks through Marangu route to Mandara hut and Ernest was a wonderful guide. He was able to answer lots of questions. Thanks to him we saw a beauty of Kilimanjaro and had a great time.

I highly recommend Kanje Grand Tours. I went on a Day trip to Marangu route trekking in August 2024 and everything went really well. The guide Anthony is fantastic. Cheerful, hardworking, kind. Innocent, the owner, always helpful, provided us with all the necessary information and served us very well. I can't wait to go on a Safari again!

No need to look for more, they are professionals with vast experience, two qualities that are of paramount importance specially in Africa where anything can happen and change your plans in a second Thanks to Stephan and to our dear guide Jackson (the best) who we miss so much!!!

Demanding hike. Take your time for the ascent and it is best to start before 8a.m. so that you have enough time on the mountain.

Without a doubt the most incredible experience we have ever had. The panoramic views of the mountain were unmatched, the experience was topnotch. Literally all our dreams came true during this unforgettable trip. Everything was arranged so well, the places we stayed exceeded all our expectations and we have never met such friendly people. A huge thank you to Innocent for making our Day such a success. He made sure all was taken care of, everyone was happy and that we reached Mandara hut the which was the final point of our hike. Another special thanks goes to our humble guide Zeno, he made sure everything went perfect during our hike from the start to the end. Would recommend Kanje grand tours and Zeno our guide to my Family and friends. Thank you so much. Hakuna matata

The Marangu Route day hike on Kilimanjaro is a fantastic adventure. The lush rainforest at the start offers a refreshing contrast to the higher altitude. The trail is well-maintained, but it gets steeper as you ascend. The scenery is breathtaking, especially at Mandara Hut with its stunning views. Remember, it's a challenging day hike due to the altitude, so acclimatization is key. Overall, a rewarding experience with diverse landscapes and incredible vistas.

Thank you Kanje, for organizing the trip and answering to all my questions through Whatsapp and thank you to Omari, an amazing guide with 22 years of experience and who managed to achieve the target of reaching mandara hut was magical during the rainy season ! I really recommend Kanje grand tours, they will do everything they can to make this moment magic ✨✨✨

The Kilimanjaro day hike through the Marangu route to Mandara Hut was an exhilarating experience. The lush rainforest at the beginning provided a stunning contrast to the barren landscapes higher up. The trail was well-maintained, and the guides were knowledgeable, ensuring our safety and sharing interesting insights about the flora and fauna. Reaching Mandara Hut was rewarding, offering breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment. However, a day hike only scratches the surface of Kilimanjaro; those seeking a more immersive experience might opt for longer treks to explore further.

Serious, professional very competent. Innocent is a very a professional man and very good as well. Very good is the quality/price. Hight level services and thank you John who made climb go well . The views is beautiful

Would definitely go on safari with John again!! Also, Innocent made all our arrangements and everything exceeded our expectations. Although he was in Tanzania we never had trouble communicating in a timely manner. One of the best adventures ever!
