Kilimanjaro 7 day Lemosho
Our experience with Zanzi was very smooth. The sales team responded quickly and answered our questions. On the hike, our guides Charles and Mathew were knowledgeable, helpful and positive. Our cook Bazili was wonderful and cooked us delicious meals. Our waiter and summit porter Calvini was lovely and helpful. Overall the entire crew was positive and very hardworking, would recommend.

Honest, reliable and kept us informed at every step of the way. Thank you
We paid £500 deposit in this country and the rest on arrival in Kilimanjaro. It was this that made us book with zanzi as the worst thing that could happen would be that we’d arrive and have to find our own tour. That didn’t happen . About a week before we set off, we were given a direct email to ‘Honest’ - a very good sign , and we communicated directly to him about pick up times, flight numbers etc, answering our queries within a very short timeframe and he was at Kilimanjaro on our arrival .
He took the rest of the payment upon arrival at our first hotel, met us the following morning and transported us to our Safari vehicle. We were then in the hands of Humphre who was just the nicest man and so kind.
We had the most amazing, informative and fun trip you could imagine with beautiful scenery and animals, visiting Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We returned after four days and after a night in Arusha, were transferred to the airport for the flight to Zanzibar where we relaxed for a couple of days before booking a boat trip to Mnemba island and swam with wild dolphins.
This trip has been one of the best experiences of our lives and we take with us so many happy memories.
Just go for it !! 😃

The Zanzi team is quite friendly, efficient and reliable
Booked the trip for my husband and he had the experience of a lifetime on the trek. The team was quite helpful from the initial enquiry down to the moment he landed in Tanzania. They were a pleasure to deal with on the phone, very patient with us even aftee having taken a whole month to decide on what we wanted. We paid a deposit and the balance on arrival which gave us peace of mind as it was our first time dealing with them. When my husband landed, they made sure he was well taken care of and gave me timely updates everyday so I had nothing to worry about. Very friendly and professional team, highly recommend working with them👌👌
😊They even gave him a lovely souvenir for him to bring back home to me

Very professional and easy to communicate with.
Certainly! Here is the translation of your experience in Tanzania into English:
We are tourists from China who planned to visit Tanzania during the National Day holiday with friends. After comparing various reviews online, we found Zanzi Trekking, a travel agency that impressed us with the communication with the owner. We booked a 6-day Kilimanjaro Lemosho route trek and a 4-day Safari with them. Zanzi arranged a great team for our mountain climbing service and a knowledgeable Safari guide. The owner of the travel agency is very communicative and reliable—highly recommended!
Kilimanjaro Lemosho Trek: The team members were all very friendly, and our guides, Charles and Lazaro, were very professional. They provided a lot of encouragement and support along the way, adjusting the pace according to our needs, which greatly contributed to our successful summit. Kilimanjaro is truly beautiful, with the scenery changing from tropical to temperate to cold as we ascended. The sunrise, sunset, snow, blue skies, white clouds, and the night view of the city at the foot of the mountain are all unforgettable. The Lemosho route can be quite tiring, so it's recommended for those with a certain physical fitness. Otherwise, you might consider other routes.
Safari: Due to limited time, we arranged a 4-day Safari visiting three or four national parks. We saw four out of the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos) up close, and many other lovely animals. Our driver, Suma, was very responsible, gentle, and talkative. He studied German and is interested in China and Chinese language. In short, the Safari was also fantastic!

A fantastic Kilimanjaro trip
My husband and I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in July 2022.
Our guide was Honest, the owner of Zanzi Trekking and Safaris.
We felt like we were in good hands from the first moment. Honest and his team were all very nice, open and helpful people.
Honest was an experienced and mindful guide who paid attention to all details (pace, food, fatigue, etc.). You can talk to him about many topics and so the time goes by very quickly.
In the end we also managed to reach the Uhuru peak.
Everything was very well organized and so far we only have good memories of this fantastic trip.
We therefore recommend Zanzi and the whole team for Kilimanjaro trips.

Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris
During National Day holiday, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Tanzania, which was meticulously organized by Zanzi Trekking and Safaris. Our adventure included a six-day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro followed by a thrilling four-day wildlife safari. The services provided by this local Tanzanian agency exceeded all expectations, and I am thrilled to share my experiences.
Communication & Planning
From the outset, Zanzi Trekking and Safaris impressed with their communication. Whether it was via email or WhatsApp, responses were prompt, informative, and practical. This seamless communication allowed me to plan my trip with peace of mind and set the stage for the amazing experience that awaited us.
Airport Reception & Transfers
Upon arrival in Tanzania, the reception service was nothing short of perfect. Zanzi Trekking and Safaris had arranged a professional airport pickup, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition from the airport to our hotel. This thoughtful welcome allowed us to recuperate quickly from the long-haul flight and to recharge for the adventures ahead.
Guides for Trekking & Safari
The guides provided by the agency deserve special praise for their expertise and responsibility. Our trekking guide ensured our safety as we made our ascent up Kilimanjaro, sharing stories and tips about the mountain. During our safari, the guide’s keen instincts and deep knowledge brought us up close with wildlife, making every moment captivating.
Accommodation Experience
The accommodations selected by Zanzi Trekking and Safaris went above and beyond our expectations. The hotels were not only well-located and high-quality, but they also offered a comfortable atmosphere. Returning to these accommodations each evening felt like a retreat into an exotic haven, adding significant value to our overall experience.

Best hiking experience ever!
Best hiking experience ever! I did the 7-day lemosho hiking route at Kilimanjaro, our guide Charles has been amazing, giving all kinds of useful information, making sure I have everything I need and well prepared for all kinds of situations. He’s pretty encouraging as well, constantly giving me momentum and keeping a really good pace. We also have a nice team with our chef Nicolas, and porters Peter, Julius, Dominic and Riziki, super grateful for all the efforts they’ve put in. Anyway, this has been the most amazing experience ever, I’ll definitely consider taking my family and friends with me next time. Thank u guys.

It was an incredible experience and recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking of climbing this summit.
A great introduction to high altitude climbing.
