I made the peak thanks to my fantastic guide Khaled who not only knew everything about the mountain, the animals, flowers, the people and the country but also pushed me in the night of the nights to Uhuru Peak. However, not by hurrying me up but by motivating me and keeping me running "Pole Pole". The cook was great, not any problem with the stomach and still wondering where he did get the fresh avocados, watermelons and pineapples from? Waiter and porters also did a brilliant job. Everything was arranged like promised by Emmanuel in before. He answered tons of questions I had always quickly and with content, I could build my planning on. Read less

Read moreThe climb is tough, but worth every step. My brother and I traveled with Tanzania Joy Tours and were in a group with other climbers. This made the trip more enjoyable, being with others who have had the same dream as you - to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Tanzania Joy Tours did a great job setting us up, and the guides were wonderful. If I ever did this again I would request Peter as my guide. My suggestion to anyone who attempts this is to try and get as much sleep as possible every night. It can be tough because of the altitude, but I believe this made a huge difference for me. Also make sure to have rain gear and pack covers. You hike through rain forests on the way up and on the way out. Having dry clothes and packs makes the hike much more enjoyable. It gets very cold when the sun goes down so dry is important. I would recommend this hike to anyone who wants a challenge because it is not easy, but reaching the top is tremendous Read less

I want to remark the patient, professional care and amiability since the first moment we contact with him, until the end of our trip.
The guide, the driver and the Cook were professional trained and always providing us comfort and memorable moments.
The facility that Clinton had to organize a safari from one day to another was remarkable.
We want to thanks for everything, and every moment that will last in our memories forever.
Thanks Joaquin (first safari driver, an amazing person, the best driver in all tanzania!), Happyson (our Spanish guide, a remarkable and professional person),and Rama (our amazing cook, always preparing delicious food) for every moment we shared together. Read less

I was a little worried because I didn't find them listed in the Bradt or Lonely Planet Guidebooks for Tanzania. We chose them because they were one of the few tour operators with a web presence that offered both the Kili trek and a ten day wildlife safari combined with cultural safaris. Their price range was in our budget and though it wasn't as costly as some other tour operators, to my mind they provided five star service and professionalism at every turn.

They vetted all of our guides, porters, and cooks who were all top-notch in their own right. I can't say enough about Nickson, our driver/guide, and Dubhe, our cook. While we were on safari, they took care of everything including prepping, cooking, and cleaning up from meals and pitching tents and striking camp. There was plenty of bottled water to drink and every place we stopped for the night had washrooms with running water and electricity.

I'd never been on a safari before and had visions of no running water or electricity for days. I couldn't have been more wrong. We're saving for our next safari now! Read less

To be honest, i was a little nervous about this trip; i just turned 60, was a little worried about the possible effects of Altitude Sickness plus my overall fitness and I was a solist, climbing on my own. However, i needn't have been; i started planning this trip in January 2019, Emmanuel could not have been more open and helpful; reassuring me on all the points i was anxious about (payment policy for Porters), route planning so i could acclimatize correctly, food etc etc, Emmaunel was happy to discuss things with me on the phone too. He gave me the email addresses of two recent clients whom i contacted to get feedback. Emmanuel was thorough and timely in his responses, i quickly developed confidence that i had selected the right company to go with because their communication and responsiveness was first-class. I was also very reassured that TJT only needed a $300 dollar deposit from me at booking, overall it is not cheap to climb Kili and if your plans do change it was comforting to know that the lost deposit was not a large sum. From the moment i arrived everything was well organised. although i was on my own climbing Emmanuel still went ahead with my trip even though he had no other bookings for the same dates, i was very grateful for that he did this, he could have attempted to attach me to a larger group but didn't.

Both were amazing and the company really did it's best to make sure we had the best holiday. For the safari we joined 4 others from 2 different companies. With the 6 of us we had a great group in the jeep and were able to see both great migration as well as the Big Five. The guide was really great and we were really happy to see that everything was organized well. We slept in tents and there was a cook with us to make sure that provided us with good food everyday.
For the Kilimanjaro we were surprised to have been with just the two of us and not join a group. However in the end it turned out to be not a problem at all since it was easier to not have to wait for others (just the 2 of us) and we came across so many people everyday during the climp and in the camps that it felt like a very social trip after all.
I did not have too many expectations for the food on the mountain (after all you are on a mountain), but the cook who was with us made some excellent food and we always had way too much. Furthermore we were really glad to have Patrick as a guide since he really cared for the safety of the tourists on the mountain (we saw some people along the way to be left alone by their guide which is totally unexceptable) and he also was a nice guide to have around and very experienced. He was a good leader of the team and made sure that we had the best time and made it to the top!
Also, on forehand we were sceptical about whether we would need all the clothing that was recommended by the guide/company the day before we climbed the Kili, however we were very glad we did rend the recommended stuff because you do need it during the summit!
By the way, Machame Route 6 days is the route we did and absolutely no regrets chosing this route and amount of days.


All in all, I can definitely recommend Tanzania Joy Tours: I feel it is always better to join a local organization and this company really met the expectations and more. I can honestly say that you'll have a good value for money compared to other organizations! Read less
