EXCELLENT Based on 118 reviews Posted on Karolina JVerified Dream Climb Made Possible by an Incredible Team Reaching the top of Mount Kilimanjaro was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide me there. From day one, the agency was exceptionally organized and highly professional, which made the entire climb feel safe, smooth, and well planned.What really set them apart was the human side of the experience. Everyone—from the guides to the support team—was incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely caring. They created such a positive atmosphere every single day that even the toughest moments felt manageable.The food was outstanding, far beyond what I ever expected on a mountain trek—fresh, plentiful, and always a morale booster. And when it came to summit night, the guides were absolutely phenomenal: strong leaders, constant motivators, and deeply attentive, pushing us forward with encouragement exactly when we needed it most.Thanks to their expertise, energy, and heart, I stood on the roof of Africa feeling supported and proud. I would recommend this agency without hesitation to anyone dreaming of climbing Kilimanjaro. An unforgettable experience from start to summit!Posted on RudinkaVerified Best trip ever Climbing Kilimanjaro with KiliSmile in cooperation with 4Challenge was one of the most powerful and unforgettable experiences of my life. The mountain was absolutely breathtaking, but what truly made the difference was the people.Our guide Gidion deserves a special mention. He didn’t just guide us up the mountain — he carried me mentally all the way to the summit. On the hardest days, when altitude and exhaustion kicked in, Gidion was calm, positive, and incredibly supportive. He is cool, safe, trustworthy, kind, and always cheerful, with an amazing ability to read people and know exactly when to motivate, encourage, or simply walk quietly next to you. His professionalism and experience made me feel safe at every single moment.The entire 40-person team was exceptional — from assistant guides to porters and the cooks. The food was surprisingly delicious and nutritious, always on time, and prepared with care even at high altitude. The team worked together like a well-oiled machine, always smiling, supportive, and deeply respectful.Thanks to this incredible team spirit and leadership, we made it to the top. It was not just a summit — it was a journey of trust, resilience, and human connection.If you’re considering Kilimanjaro, I can’t recommend KiliSmile & 4Challenge enough. And if you get the chance to climb with Gidion, you are in the best hands possible.Asante sana to the whole team — I will never forget this experience.Posted on Ada DVerified Non stop to the top From the very beginning, their team showed professionalism, attention to detail. They were making everyone feel safe and protected.The guides Hussain and Denis were extremly supportive and were motivating us tu achieve our goal. They ensured we felt safe and well-prepared all the time, every day during briefing after long hard day they were giving us hope but without minimazing the difficulties of the next day. The porters were our heroes, making this whole trekking unbelievebly luxurious. The portable toilet was bleesing during windy, cold nights. And I cannot even imagine going up without them. The meals were nutritious and tasty, and surprisingle diverse. Even though I was fighting with altitude sickness and dealing with lack of appetite, nausea and vomiting the cook and waiter and our guides were making sure that I eat something and were preparing something special for me. Especially worth mentionting is the magic of Hussain, Denis and Hasan during the worst moments doring the atack, when it's cold, windy and dark. You are fighting with your inner demons, loosing motivation. And then out of nowhere you hear your name in the song in swahilii, you doon't understand the words but you feel the warmth pulsing around your group and new strength coming to your body. It's spirituall and transcendental moment.I recommend KiliSmile from the bottom of my heart. They really make " One dream, One team" possible. And I am sure that without them I wouldn't achive the top.Posted on Camper06989006691Verified Safari Experience We had a great experience! Our guide was awesome and very accommodating. His name was Sabas. The accommodation was very nice and had a pool, and the meals were great! Each day was so much fun, and our guide gave us lots of knowledgeable insight along the way.Posted on Malwina GVerified Kilimanjaro, Safari, Ngorongoro, Serengetiti I have never experienced such openness, kindness, and care as I did during my Kilimanjaro trip organized by KiliSmile. I’m incredibly grateful to Hashim, who looked after me and motivated me whenever I felt weak or tired. Hashim always watching over everyone, ready to help the moment someone felt unwell, exhausted, or started doubting themselves.Throughout the climb, Ayoub, Hashim, and the rest of the team showed great experience and awareness, giving me and the other participants a strong sense of safety and calm. Ayoub and his crew are wonderful, cheerful people who never showed any fatigue — they were always full of energy, smiles, and songs that kept us motivated all the way.During the trip to Ngorongoro and Serengeti, I was lucky to be in the car driven by the best driver in all of Tanzania — Lucas. With his warm smile, Lucas shared many stories, always knew the perfect spot to park for the best view of the animals, and kindly answered all our questions.KiliSmile is truly special because of the exceptional people who work there. Everyone I met went above and beyond all expectations with their passion and dedication!I will definitely return to Tanzania — it’s an extraordinary, magical place filled with amazing people! ????????????????

Conquering Kilimanjaro was one of my biggest dreams, and I managed to achieve it thanks to the Kilismile agency. I can definitely recommend their services to anyone planning this incredible expedition.From the very beginning, I felt like I was in good hands. The entire Kilismile team, from the guides to the porters and all the support staff were incredibly professional, yet also very kind and helpful. I especially want to commend the experienced guides, who not only knew the route perfectly but also looked after my safety every step of the way. Their support and valuable advice were priceless, especially since I had zero experience in high-altitude trekking.I also have to mention the cook, who deserves a special shout-out. After each day on the trail, delicious, warm meals were waiting for me, which gave me the strength and energy to continue the climb. This is a huge plus when you're tired and need proper, nutritious food.Huge respect also goes to the porters. Their hard work and smiles on their faces, despite the enormous effort, deserve the greatest admiration.Thanks to the entire Kilismile team, I felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole journey.
