Healthy and Happy Ascent to Kili Summit
5/5

Edward “Teacher” Lazaro led my family on two trips, 2012 and 2014. We enjoyed great company, fellow climbers and Porters, and always felt our best interests were primary: safety, have fun, and get to the top. Teacher a wonderful cultural host and cares greatly about his team and the people of Tanzania.

It is a very nice and good organized tour group, with good offers and a fast communication.
5/5

We booked all our tours in tanzania with Kwesa Tours. The booking was very fast and aso the payment was easy and quick. Our safari was perfect, they respect all our wishes and create the trip for us individually. We also booked day trips with this tour company and everything was nice and good organized.

2-days Safari adventure
5/5

The team of Kwesa Tours helped us planning a 2-days Safari programme in which we could see as much as possible (animals, nature).
We decided to go to Tarangire National Parc (Day 1) and Ngorongoro National Parc (Day 2).
The guide, Simon, was great. He tried the best to drive as close as possible, responded to our wishes and told us many things about each species – he is very experienced. We got a lunch box and freshly cooked dinner at the camp site.

It was a great 2-days Safari adventure which we really enjoyed.

Best company
5/5

This company organized our trip to Safari and Kilimanjaro. Since the initial contact they were extremely professional! the safari was amazing, with great accomodations, great itinerary and with a very good guide / driver. For Kilimanjaro the person in charge is a guide who has made the summit 900 times !! Very safe, with excellent acclimatization strategy! They really do care to take you to Kilimanjaro and bring you back. I recommend 100% Kwesa tours!

Amazing, made me feel like Family
5/5

If you are going to Tanzania, you MUST book with KWESA.
My experience in Africa would not have been the same without the KWESA staff.
They helped me book all my tours, gave me great deals, and the best part, they made me feel like family.
They would take me downtown to local Coffee houses, to Local Tanzanian BBQ, and would show me around their city.

Next time I go back to Tanzania, I will Call them ahead of time, just to make sure I can visit them again.
Thank you KWESA staff / friends

Kwesa is responsive, welcoming and offers fair prices in the market full of competition.
5/5

I decided to book my hike with Kwesa Tours after researching different tours, pricing and start dates. In the end I booked a private tour as no other date was suitable and picked the Lemosho Route. Total for 9 days was $2,049 USD with Kwesa. One factor that had me interested in Kwesa was that they also run a (Kilimanjaro) Orphanage on the side, and business from their tours help subsidize costs at the orphanage. It would also be convenient in the even I wanted to volunteer. Another factor was that Kwesa is very responsive via email/chat making the decision to book with them very easy for me.

My Team: At first, I was worried about doing a private tour as a single female. However, by the end of day 1 after getting to know everyone I felt more comfortable and by the end of the trip, I can say with confidence that Justice (guide), and Shaban (cook and guide in training) were amazing and really made my experience memorable. Justice loves nature and has an abundance of knowledge of the biodiversity there in the mountains making the trip a fun learning experience as well as a trip of a lifetime. I also need to recognize that the rest of the team, 5 porters, made this whole trek possible. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without their strength and help with bringing our gear, food, and utilities for the 9-day trip.

The Climb: Although I summitted, a gruelling 7-hour experience, I completed the trip in 6 days. Climbing alone doesn’t come without challenges. I found it isolating and lonely and started feeling very depressed during evenings by day 2. Although physically I felt good and wasn’t experiencing major symptoms from the altitude (until sumitting), I had no desire to eat. To be honest, I started feeling sick whenever I saw food, and I think my calorie intake was less than 800 per day. I don’t doubt that this also impacted my mental well-being.

It was hard for me to remember and retain information, and I lost the desire and motivation to track my trip on video. In my head, my only goal was to summit and get off the mountain as soon as possible. I started to ask my guide about finishing the trek earlier than planned by day 3 as I wanted to be back at the cottages end of day 6. We condensed our daily hikes but day 5 and 6 were very difficult as I only had 3 hours of sleep between those two days—but this was my decision.

Kwesa Tours: Their motto is “come as a friend, leave as family.” Edward, the owner of Kwesa, was generous and gave me an opportunity to meet the kids of the Kilimanjaro Orphanage and to visit some of the private schools in the area where some of their orphans attend. I would deff recommend this tour company, and to spend a few days with the kids at the orphanage. Keep in mind that the kids are quite young, the group I met were 3 years old or so, so it can be quite hectic. But they get excited about meeting new people and just want to play.

A great Safari adventure
4/5

The Safari was great. We had an excellent tour guide, the lodges where very comfortable and the parks we visited were stunning. We had some waiting times when entering the parks because of late payments. This is why we give 4 out of 5 stars. But it all worked out in the end. In total it was an unforgetable Adventure and we can warmly recommend Kwesa.
