I just came back from the 7 days Machame Route with my 19 years Son. We had an amazing experience with the fantastic people. The level of luxury was outstanding. On the first day, we saw every other group sitting on rocks eating sandwiches for lunch. Our team pulled out a table with tablecloth and chairs and served us a three course hot meal. More importantly, the whole team, led by our guides, really cared about our comfort and safety. I got a little sick on day four. The guides closely monitored me the rest of the trip and happily offered to carry my day pack the rest of the trip. The support staff was top notch as well. Questions by e-mail were always answered quickly. They met us both before and after the hike to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. I've been on other similar trips in my youth. None compare to this level of service..sarinajohnston248

The 7 days Machame Route climb with the best tour operator was an amazing experience. Nikki was always helpful with prompt responses making my preparations easier even though I had to keep changing my plans several times. The climb itself was very well organized and exceeded my expectations. Grayson my chief guide was fantastic. He is a wonderful caring guy who was always looking out for my wellbeing. His goal was to help me summit whilst ensuring I was safe all the way through. His experience as a guide and knowledge of the mountain was evident from the start and this was key to my success. The crew was great. They made sure I was very well looked after and their service was beyond expectations. I did not expect the food to be so good on the mountain. Most of all they made the climb fun and enjoyable. I had a great time and an experience of a life time. Thank you very much Grayson and crew.jermedlimper776

I really had a great experience with Africa natural tours from the day I inquired until the last day! The whole team has been great, Sasha, you are amazing, I sent you back and forth and you never got irritated with my indecisiveness. The team at the office that assisted with the rental gear, they even gave some tips about the climb and type of snacks I should get, the team in Tanzania was great too, the lady coordinator (I forgot her name) called me with all details and even when I was back from the mountain she stated that should I need anything at all while in Zanzibar I should not hesitate to call her. The climb was an experience I will never forget, going all the way to summit Kilimanjaro with a group of strangers, I had my worries but the team was the best, the guides Michael and Peter were reassuring all the time, believed in us, attended to us and also created great team spirit. The porters are our real heroes, there is no way the climb can happened without them and they served us well with a smile on their faces all the time, Ziad, Alex and Omari kept us well fed with great food on the mountain. I cannot remember the other guys names but they were all fully present and made sure that all 7 of us made it to the top and back safely. One thing that was a bit of an issues was my gaiters, the Velcro is finished and does not attach properly but the guides assisted me daily putting them on, other than that, no complaints. Thank you so much for the amazing experience and I will be recommending people to use your Compnay.ceciliak96

Just came back from the Machame route... The trip has been amazing, from planning through to execution. Africa natural tour team has made everything easy and went out of their way to make the whole trip as comfortable as possible. I have the utmost respect to both the porters and the guides. This trip would not have been possible without them. We have been treated like royalty to the point where I really felt guilty sitting back. We have been looked after with care and interest from the team. Then the food….oh my chefs impressed us with the variety and quality of food offered so much so that “eat BIG” was not a difficult task. I have actually gained some extra weight from this trip. Unfortunately, one of our dearest members could not summit with the team due to health concerns. The chief guide, David, acted professionally and swiftly in assisting the member back to safety for proper care. Hats off to the guide and porters for transporting our team member quickly off the mountain. Overall, I have had an awesome experience and many fond memories. Thank you! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a tour company to realize their bucket list item in the adventures they offer.kaburajane57
