Are duffel bags provided? I will have a backpack for my day bag but wondering about a duffel bag for other items that the porters will carry

The duffel bag is available for rent, not automatically provided. You are welcome to bring your own duffel bag if you prefer, or we can rent one to you for the climb. Your backpack will be perfect as a day pack for items you carry yourself, and the rented duffel bag will be used for the rest of your gear that the porters will carry.

My friend and I undertook the 6 day Marangu Route with our lead guide Muntari and his incredible team. From the very start, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The support and encouragement that was provided to us throughout the hike was outstanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Muntari and his team to anyone interested. Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro is not for the faint hearted, but it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The Marangu route accommodation is in huts and the fantastic Amani was always so caring and ensured that we had a warm drink when walking up in the morning and that we ate enough to fuel our hikes. The food also exceeded our expectations, our chef Shabani did a wonderful job providing us with nutritious and delicious meals. We never went hungry. We were always briefed daily and had our oxygen concentrations and pulse assessed to ensure that we were fit and well to continue our hike to the summit. Muntari and his team provided an abundance of knowledge when it came to experiencing symptoms of altitude sickness and were always there to reassure and provide us with the positive mindset that is necessary to conquer the summit. The chorus of singing and dancing as we walked in the dark on summit night really lifted our spirits. A special shout out to the porters! They are the magic behind the scenes who allowed us to complete this challenge by carrying our extra clothes and items from camp to camp. Vincent our assistant guide and Mparee one of our porters were the reason I managed to get to the summit. I couldn’t have done it without them. A last thanks to Almighty Kilimanjaro, Muntari and his team for a truly life changing experience.Show more

It was a pleasure doing the Kilimanjaro trek with Almighty, they were super responsible, and couldn't recommend them highly enough. My guide John was a pleasure to chat to everyday, he shared a lot about the culture, responded to any questions I had and kept me safe. The meals were absolutely amazing, the tent in perfect conditions and the whole team was delightful, I felt part of the team and welcome.Show more

If I could give 20 stars, I would do it without hesitation. Almighty Kili, and especially Benny and his team, were incredible from Machame Gate to Uhuru Peak. They all contributed to making this adventure a success. I had doubts, I almost gave up, but they were always there to support and motivate me. A big thank you to the cook who did an outstanding job, as well as to the porters without whom we wouldn’t have had even the minimum comfort. Thanks also to Peniel for his support. I will never forget you! I highly recommend these true Kilimanjaro professionals!Show more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE BEST TEAM ON KILIMANJARO – BOOK WITH ALMIGHTY KILIMANJARO! Climbing Kilimanjaro has been a lifelong dream of mine, and the only reason I made it to the summit was because of the phenomenal Almighty Kilimanjaro team. From start to finish, their care, patience, and support were beyond anything I could have imagined. Let’s talk about the food first – because WOW. You don’t expect much at altitude, but Mathew the cook is truly a magician. Every meal was nourishing, delicious, and kept us fueled for the climb. Honestly, the food exceeded all expectations and became one of the highlights of the trip. Now, the guides… Inocent Arico (Chief Guide) and Baraka (Guide) are absolute legends. Calm, knowledgeable, patient, and endlessly encouraging. If you are climbing Kili, trust me – you want these two leading you. They know the mountain inside out and made us feel safe and supported every single step of the way. A very special mention must go to Baraka the waiter porter. What a star! Always smiling, attentive, and lifting everyone’s energy when things got tough. His warmth and positivity made the long days so much brighter, and his service was absolutely exceptional. And then there’s Ali, our summit porter. I don’t have enough words to thank him. When altitude sickness hit me hard on summit night, it was Ali’s kindness, encouragement, and steady support that got me to the top. He and Innocent stayed by my side, reassured me when I felt like giving up, and gave me the confidence to keep moving. Without him, and the help of Innocent - I would not have reached Uhuru Peak. Ali is destined to be an incredible guide one day – he already has the heart and leadership for it. To the rest of the incredible team – Rama, Novatus, Vicent, Peter, Raiton, Baltazar – your hard work behind the scenes, your smiles, and your encouragement made this expedition unforgettable. Every single one of you played a role in helping us succeed, and I will never forget the part you played in this journey. If you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro, stop searching. Book with Almighty Kilimanjaro. They are professional, caring, unbelievably well-organized, and they feel like family by the end. I will forever be grateful to this dream team for making my summit possible. 🌍❤️ ASANTE SANA ALMIGHTY KILIMANJARO TEAM – you gave me memories for a lifetime.Show more

Our group had a wonderful time climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on a 6-day-long journey thanks to the expertise and encouragement of our guide team and the entire group of folks helping us along! Everyone was incredibly professional, and made us feel safe and prepared at all times. Not to mention how friendly everyone was! Our head guide, Ladi, did a fantastic job of getting everyone acclimated and keeping our spirits high, as well as Kennedy who always kept the laughs going and the smiles shining bright. If it wasn’t so hard the first time, we would totally go again!Show more
