7 Days Kilimanjaro Climb Machame Route

20-Mar-2023

Fantastic tour up Mount Kilimanjaro thanks to our outstanding team. Our tour guides were excellent in every way! We had a blast with them; they were seasoned climbers and genuinely kind folks. It was amazing how the athletic experience also became a human adventure. Once again, I want to thank you and the crew for those incredible moments: Because of the support and encouragement we received from this crew throughout the day, all eight of us made it to the summit. Without a hesitation, I would suggest Kilimanjaro Habitas Safaris and his crew. Best wishes.
