Lisa:
No words can describe this adventure! Asante Sana Emmanuel and the crew.
Around 8 months before our hike, i started planing the trip to climb mount kilimanjaro on machame route (7 days). Every question i had was answered by Emmanuel within minutes (trough WhatsApp) and there was never any problem we couldn’t fix. me and my friends never did an adventure like this before so we were thankful about the precise packing list.
due to the fact that we traveled from nairobi (kenya) to moshi (tanzania) by car, emmanuel his self came to the border to pick us up and brought us to a very charming hotel in moshi, where we stayed the night before (and after) the hike. this was very pleasant so emmanuel could give us a briefing for the trip and check our gears.
during our 7 days i never felt uncomfortable, unheard or unsure. emmanuel, kenned (assistant guide) and his crew were charming, helpful, friendly, respectful and funny all the time! there was a great vibe and wonderful food throughout the whole experience! There was a good sized sleeping tent with mattress, a dining tent with table and chairs and even a toilet-tent! with medical check ups twice a day i always felt safe and positive minded to get to the peak… and we did it! with an pole pole (slowly) pace we reached uhuru peak and were even dancing on top because emmanuel and his porters gave us this vibe!
all in all i really would recommend jacaranda adventures and safaris & emmanuel because there was nothing i have to complain about. he took care of me and my friends almost every minute and i honestly think we just reached the peak because of this perfect vibe.

emmanuel, kenned and their crew accompanied my two friends and me while climbing the roof of africa.
emmanuel organised everything in a way which made this experience wonderful. he picked us up himself from the bollrder, brought us to a very nice hotel and breefed us for the upcoming week. he checked our gears and made sure we were ready.
once we started hiking they made sure, that we were okay the whole time. the camp was always ready when we arrived and we could relax with a snack. a medical check was made twice a day what made me feel enormously safe the whole time. they took us and our health issues very serious.
the food was very delicious and divers. for our hikes they always made sure that we had enough water and snack.
if we got tired or were not feeling well they even carried our daypacks.
twice we even got a big break during the hike with a table set up and some snacks and tea!
during the hike to the summit they sang and kept on motivating us. we all made it to the peak and down to mweka camp safe and sound.
saying goodbye was really hard for me. the crew really made their way to my heart and i had to cry a few times knowing i would really miss their positive vibe and warm company.
we had so much fun and danced a lot. it felt like family!
i would really recommend jacaranda adventures to everyone who wants to have an unforgettable time while reaching the peak of kilimanjaro!
Sam:
Amazing Experience with Jacaranda Adventures
Booking with a local company like Jacaranda Adventures was a key decision for us, and it definitely paid off. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Our head guide, Emmanuel, and his team truly cared for our well-being. They performed daily medical checks and provided thorough briefings each evening for the following day’s hike, which made us feel secure and well-prepared.
The food was always delicious, with the highlight being a surprise pizza at 4600 meters – a much-needed treat! The entire crew brought positive energy, especially on summit day, which was incredibly motivating. Their enthusiasm and support made the challenging climb even more rewarding.
We highly recommend Jacaranda Adventures for anyone looking to summit Kilimanjaro. Their professionalism, care, and local expertise made the experience unforgettable
