EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Kwang Meng G2025-07-13Verified Great. 7 day Kili Machame Tour with Prime Kili Tour 3 of us friends took a Kili 7 day Machame trek with Prime Kili. Even before the trek, Jonas was timely and efficient in answering our queries. In terms of logistics, from the airport pickup to the day to day admin arrangements, the whole team worked seamlessly to ensure a first class experience. Besides Jonas, special shout out to both our guides (Gasper and Bubusha), the cook Shadrack, waiter Raphael, summit porters (Steven and Sabore), 8 other porters (Kili fighters) who helped us in our successful ascents. Kudos to great team work and a generous spirit! Kanuty Munishi2025-05-23Verified Incredible Kilimanjaro Experience with Prime Kili– Lemosho Route 7 Days I had the most amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Prime Kili, and I can confidently say they played a huge role in helping me and my colleagues reach the summit successfully. We took the Lemosho Route, which gave us a chance to walk through beautiful and diverse ecological zones – from rainforest to alpine desert.As a first-time climber, I was a bit nervous, but I always felt safe, supported, and informed. The tour guides were incredibly flexible, patient, and encouraging. They shared all the information we needed at every stage, ensuring we were physically and mentally prepared.The porters were absolute heroes of the journey! Their energy and dedication amazed me. They were always the last to leave camp and yet the first to arrive at the next site. They even came back to cheer us on with songs and applause, which lifted our spirits when we needed it most.And I can’t forget the food! Every meal was delicious and exactly what we needed to keep going strong.This journey with Prime Kili wasn’t just a climb — it was a life-changing experience filled with support, positivity, and unforgettable moments. I’ll always treasure it, and I highly recommend Prime Kili to anyone dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro.Thank you, Prime Kili! François d2025-05-15Verified Thanks Jonas An incredible experience from start to finish! I did the Machame route in 5 days with Prime Kilimanjaro and everything was perfectly organized.Special mention to Jaunas, who handled it all with a master: responsive, pro, reassuring, ultra nice. The team on site (guides, porters, cook) was at the top, kind, motivating and always with a smile.The landscapes are crazy, and thanks to them I reached the top without worry. A serious and warm agency, which I recommend 100%! Exuper Njau2025-01-04Verified #Kilimanjaro2024 I climbed Kilimanjaro with Prime Kilimanjaro via Lemosho Route.The crew helped me and our team through doubts and delights. I truly appreciate how proactive these people supported us 7 days on end. The food was so gooood - beyond words!P.S. The Lava Tower rain experience was my favourite of all😂 Silas V2024-12-28Verified Unforgettable honeymoon! We chose to use Prime Kilimanjaro as our main tour operator for our honeymoon. They took care of us for 3/5 of our trip, and we couldn't be happier!The company is owned by a local called Jonas (he was one of our guides for the hike), a great guy who truly takes care of his clients. So if you wish to support a locally owned business, this is the company for you. He takes care of his employees, and even helps finance further education for his porters who wish to become guides. The trip started with a day trip to a local organic coffee and banana farm. This wasn't a big tourist coffee plantation, but a real encounter with a local farming society. There we had the opportunity to learn how they farm a variety of different fruits, vegetables, and plants to get the most out of what they have available. 5/5. Next we did a five day safari, sleeping in lodges. Our guide's name was Dan, a nice guy full of knowledge and a layed back attitude, that made the trip more relaxed and pleasant. The value for money on this trip was outstanding, way under what we got quoted by other bigger companies. 5/5.To round up our time with Prime Kilimanjaro we did the seven day Machame route. Our guides where Gewa and Jonas (the owner), and they where both great. Lots of knowledge, humor, motivation and amazing singing. The singing and dancing from the whole team was so good, that we actually where disappointed with the rest of performances we had at the Hotels on Zanzibar after our hike. These guys are truely amazing, and are capable of adapting to any situation. I personally made the poor decision of drinking WAY to much coffee the first days on the trip. So I had trouble sleeping and ended up struggling with altitude sickness. They took care of me, carried my backpack, and literally fed me so I could recover as fast as possible. Every morning and evening they would check our oxygen saturation and puls, and we would fill out a form with relevant information. Based on this they would set the pace for the days hike, and push us to reach our goal. We felt safe and well cared for, and reached the summit. Gewa used to say "Pain is temporary, victory is forever" and he was right! 5/5This company is a 100% flexible, and willing to customize your trip for you. If you wish to upgrade or downgrade it's totally up to you. Do your research, ask them questions and listen to their suggestions, and you will have a trip you never will forget! Cassandre E2024-11-05Verified Kilimanjaro lemosho 7 days I spent a week of exceptions with the prime kilimanjaro team. I went solo to climb the highest peak in Africa for 7 days via the lemosho road. Everything was perfect from A to Z. I even chose my guide who was a friend of mine here! Shedrack, Eli, Godson, Samuheli, Tailo, Steven, Augustino, Reginald forever in my heart 🫶Thanks also to Jonas for his flexibility, understanding and responsiveness! Go ahead and watch! TJ2024-10-30Verified Definitely recommend for my Tanzanian hike I had been in contact with these guys since August, mainly about hiking Kilimanjaro. I found them to be super professional, transparent and honest. I then got back in contact whilst I was in Tanzania to explore whether I could hike Mount Meru at very short notice. They were really accommodating and organised everything for my 3 day hike. The hike itself was very challenging but they were with me the whole way, supporting and encouraging me. Thanks so much for your help guys. Louison P2024-09-24Verified Go ahead!!! It is a superb agency We shared a moment with friends thanks to a prime kili. They organized for us an ascent via Lemosho road for 8 people. Everything was perfect, food, atmosphere, guides, transfers etc... We also did a safari over 3 days, prime kili was able to adapt to our student budget and offer us a great safari for a really attractive Award. Finally Jonas, is a person, very kind, listening and who wishes to develop ethically and responsibly tourism in Tanzania I recommend!! Emmanuel d2024-09-15Verified Unforgettable adventures & memories 2 dream weeks in Tanzania thanks to Prime Kilimanjaro. On the agenda: Kilimanjaro in 7 days via Lemosho road.. A very professional support (: guides, cook & porters) with little care for us. Summit reached without much difficulty: thank you for the advice & encouragement... After the ascent, 4 days of safari (Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater) and this time, thanks to a Great Guide, we could see the Big Five & Big Cats (lions, cheetahs, leopards...). A family project and an unforgettable holiday concocted by Jonas de Prime Kilimanjaro, agency that I highly recommend. Marin D2024-08-30Verified Amazing experience on Mount Meru We were able to organize our trek with Prime Kili, by whatsapp exchange from France, they were always listening to our needs and our means. David (our Guide) and his team did everything possible to make our experience extraordinary, which was key to our success:David was always listening to us, while teaching us little words in Swahili and motivating us with his big smile.Mama Africa, our chef, awakened our taste buds with every meal (even at 3500m altitude) while filling our belly amply.– From the Top at the Pension on the morning of Check-out, to be sure not to forget anything, to the festive beer at the end of the trek, we felt surrounded and confident.You understand we loved our experience and recommend 100% Prime Kili.Cazinzuri!!
