  I went on a Kilimanjaro trek with Zara Tours. The company takes care of all your needs from the beginning. I did not know much about mountain climbing and they provided me with all the information I could possibly need. I was part of a team of five other climbers supported by a crew of three guides (Shaban, Juma and Frank) nineteen porters and one chef (Walter). We used the 7 day Rongai route, which the company recommended for inexperienced climbers. Crew was very friendly and professional. Chief guide Shaban was a great, organized leader. He worked closely with the other guides to ensure that we were comfortable, fit, and climbing at a pace we could handle. The food that the chef Walter prepared was amazing. The whole crew worked hard to make the climb successful. Overall I am very impressed by the support I got from Zara tours in the whole trek and given another chance I would still opt for Zara because they give more than 100% and deliver more than their promise.Show more

  For the best experience of your life climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, book with Zara Tours like we did. The company gives VIP services to all their clients. My mom and I were very happy and impressed with the treatment they gave us. Jane from reservations was very helpful during the booking of the trek. She answered all my questions and replied to all my emails promptly. She gave me a lot of information on Kilimanjaro and the various climbing routes. She helped me chose the best route for my mum and me. She was also very friendly and I had an easy time working with her. We used the 6 day Rongai route. Allan and Kitomari were our guides. Before the climb day, they met us at the Springlands hotel and briefed us on the climb. They ensured we had everything we needed and assures us that the company would provide us with whatever we did not have. The guides were so friendly and easy to talk to that we bonded immediately. We met with six porters and Antony our chef on the day of the climb. The crew was very welcoming and friendly. They were also helpful and we had a wonderful time trekking the mountain with them. We even saw Monkeys and birds in the lower levels of the trek. Kitomari was happy to tell us several facts about the monkeys and birds. The team did an amazing job of ensuring that we reached the peak. My mum and I were so happy when we reached the Uhuru peak that we had tears of joy. The magnificent sunrise we saw stunned us into silence. I will forever cherish the memory of my mum and me up the mountain enjoying the view.Show more
