EXCELLENT Based on 646 reviews Posted on Pernille SVerified TopClimbers is for top rating. TopClimbers is for top rating. They can control everything from arrival to departure - and they can make small changes along the way. I had booked a Kilimanjaro trekking and the crew that was associated did everything and more to make sure I had the coolest experience and reached the top.Posted on Federico NVerified Top experience with Top climbers Awesome experience - both the Kilimanjaro climb and safari. Best company to go with! The guides were amazing and everyone made sure that we felt comfortable, were well fed, and had a great adventure!Posted on Sally BVerified Do you want to get to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro? Then you must go with Top Climbers. Do you want to get to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro? Then you must go with Top Climbers.Climbing Kilimanjaro (via the 8 day Lemosho route) was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and I can honestly say it wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing team from Top Climbers. From the very first day, they made us feel completely supported, safe, and encouraged.Our guides were outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and kind. They seemed to know exactly when to push us and when to let us catch our breath. They kept us laughing, kept us calm when the altitude kicked in, and never once let us doubt that we could make it to the summit.The porters and cook were absolute heroes. Every morning we’d wake up to hot tea, warm smiles, and the most delicious meals (how they managed that up a mountain, I’ll never know!). They took such good care of us — carrying our gear, setting up camp, cheering us on — always with genuine warmth and positivity.Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise was the most emotional and unforgettable moment. Standing there at the roof of Africa, tears in my eyes, I knew it was all thanks to the incredible people who got us there.Top Climbers aren’t just a tour company — they’re a family who truly care about helping you achieve something extraordinary. If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro, don’t hesitate for a second — go with Top Climbers. They’ll get you to the top, and they’ll make the journey unforgettable.Posted on clarebearVerified Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Summit!! We booked a private trip with Top Climbers for trekking the Lemosho route to the summit and the service exceeded our expectations. Manase has been super responsive to all our requests. Upendo greeted us upon arrival and checked with us about all details of our itinerary to make sure the best service was being delivered. We are very grateful to our two best guides, Abuu and Calvin - who are both very experienced (they knew our conditions better than ourselves!) and took excellent care of us for the entire trip. We won’t be able to get to summit without Abuu and Calvin. Our summit porter and waiter Ayubu was amazing - he gave us 100% attention and was 24/7 around to help. Our chef, Kababa also checked on what we wanted for our meals every single day and even made our food (congee) from home! We are very thankful to all our porters: Mtlaise, Timotheo, Niwa, Advent, Yahaya, Aualax, Ronald, Anase and Emmanuel for delivering all our heavy belongings and for setting up the tents well ahead before our arrival, at the best possible location. We had another 3 safari days with our guide Chris - who is the best driver and spotted the big 5 for us despite our tight schedule. Chris is very passionate about animals and shares with us about all the traits and stories of every single animal and bird we saw in the Safari. We give five stars to the Top Climbers team.Posted on Robin GVerified Best company on the mountain Highly recommend TopClimbers as the company to go with when climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. We did the 8 day Lemosho route and the guides and porters did everything you could imagine and more to make our climb successful. This was a cancelled trip from covid days and the 2020 pricing from that trip was honoured for this trip. We could not fault them from the moment we were picked up from the airport. I found the the final climb to the summit really challenging and would never have made it if not for our wonderful guides. If your thinking about climbing the mountain you won’t be disappointed if you go with Top Climbers.Posted on レストランVerified Even an amateur could climb Mt. Kilimanjaro! I joined the climbing tour of Kilimanjaro (Marang route). For a couple aged around 50, we decided to have a private tour instead of a group, but the guides and staff did their best to get us to the top.It was heartening to encourage them when it was tough and they were going to fail. Thanks to you, I had a wonderful view from Top in Africa.They were quick to respond to altitude sickness while descending the mountain. I owe it to Top Climbers to get me out alive. Thank you very much❗️Posted on smVerified Amazing company with outstanding experiences!! You can't go wrong! Top Climbers made our dreams come true! We chose them for both our Kilimanjaro and safari expeditions and loved both trips. We did a 7-day Lemosho route, and a 9-day sarafi.We were so pleasantly surprised that our Kilimanjaro climb included amazing guides, porters, and food! Noah and Mpemba were our guides, and they were professional, caring, and hilarious. We had so much fun with them; they made difficult situations easier and seamless. On summit night they gracefully carried our packs, and constantly guided us up difficult terrain (Kosovo camp to Stella point) like true professionals. We would not have succeeded without them. We owe our success to their efforts. In addition to their mountain expertise, they are both incredible people and lots of fun.In addition to our guides, we really loved our porters! They were so much fun, and worked incredibly hard to ensure a seamless camp experience. Specifically, Mudy, Peter, Godfrey, Jackson, Ramadan, Moses, Achman, Jems, Edi, and our outstanding cook Vahaya. Every day they worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great climb. We really enjoyed the daily banter, joming, and comraderie with each of them. Top Climbers ensured they had good food, gear, and care necessary to aid our climb.Our safari guide was Peter (different from our porter) and he was so much fun! Our safari included Tarengire, central and north Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, and Lake Manyera. The accommodations were outstanding every night; we enjoyed the food, gracious hosts, and environment every day. We especially enjoyed the Embalakai and Kenzan bush camps and their incredible staff, food, and lodging.We were able to see elephant and 2x wildebeest crossings of the Mara River thanks to Peter's expertise. It was truly a once-in-a-lfetime experience. Peter showed us more animals than we could have hoped for, taught us lots of Swahilli, and tailored the safari to fit our preferences. He was also a safe and courteous driver, which allowed us to have fun with the top open on safari roads. We had such a fun safari!Top Climbers made our African dreams come true! This company is truly exceptional and we highly recommend them to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb or safari. They surpassed our expectations and beyond!Posted on Denis CVerified Great way to experience Kilimanjaro! The review is based on Kilimanjaro climb by Lemosho Route (7-day) made in September 2025.It was my first visit to Afrika and first climb of this scale and it was successful because of the great support and dedication of the Top Climbers Expedition (whereafter referred as TCE) team. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to experience Kilimanjaro!Before the trip I has quite an extensive communication with TCE. I asked all sort of questions and Manase and Upendo were very supportive and provided all the information needed.Thanks to the flexibility of the TCE I was able to select the route and time of the hike that best suited me.I received information about the trip (route description, timing, equipment list etc.) that allowed me to be prepared for the trip. TCE team also followed with me on arrival time to ensure smooth transfer.Upon arrival I picked up in the airport and transferred to the TCE office where I was introduced to the guides, had my equipment checked and provided with additional information, and then promptly transferred to the hotel.During the hike TCE team made all they could to help and support us (group of 3). The level of service was actually well above of what I would expect.We had 2 amazing guides (Jackson and Joseph) who were providing us with all the possible support during the hike (setting the pace, showing the best rote, explain about the surroundings etc.) and also in the camping site (medical check, briefings etc.). Both were extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions and provide support (moral of physical).Alongside of the guides we had a brilliant team of porters, who not only carries our things up and down, prepared camp etc. but also provided all manner of support in the camping side (from big things like food serving and toilet cleaning to smaller (but not less important) shoes cleaning, cleaning water preparation etc.). Guys were always positive and encouraging, and helpfully any way the could (one time we spend 15 minutes hunting for the spot with cellphone connection at night in the forest :)).And last, but not least was our cook - Kababa. The food he prepared was always very good, selection was brilliant (I could not imagine eating pizza or dumplings on the slope of Killi :)), and at no point we were allowed to go hungry (we actually asked to cook less, as we simply could not manage so much food). I had my birthday and I even got a cake!Overall, if you want to climb Kilimanjaro, do it with Top Climbers Expedition and you will have great time on the mountain!Posted on Trail33463494544Verified Best Kilimanjaro + safari tours I did 8day northern circuit and 7day safari with them. From pre trip communication to arrival, everything went smoothly and communication was super clear. The climb was fantastic with the best team who took care of me soooo well. I felt like home on the mountain. Food was delicious and everyone was so friendly and treated me like family.Safari was amazing too. The guide was so experienced and knew how to spot the wildlife. I managed to see all the Big5 and some rare hunting scenes, of course the river crossings. Thank you so much for organising such an awesome trip and it really made my trip to Tanzania so special!Posted on Stanley MVerified Top Climbers Expedition: Not by name only but their service delivery This was my second time climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Top Climbers Expedition. My first time was in 2018 and they were great...but this time around, they were fantastic. My overall teams experience in every category surpassed my expectation...food, accommodation and the quality and professionalism of the staff was tops. Every staff did their job but Frank and Mpemba come to mind as outstanding. My shemeji the chef gave us everything that we ever needed. Truly Top Climbers lived up to their name. In 2012 and 2015 I had climbed through other companies but these guys are clearly 5/5 in every category. Both the Director and owner Manase and the marketing staff, Upendo are doing an outstanding job in running this company. I highly recommend them to anyone or any group going to Tanzania for safaris or climbing mount Kilimanjaro
