Oh wow! What an experience! 2 day Safari, 7 day Kilimanjaro Machame hike and 1 day waterfall and coffee making experience. The Almighty Kilimanjaro team were attentive, super organised and absolutely knew their stuff! I would hesitate to book with them again. Special shout out to the boys I spent 7 days with in the Kilimanjaro Machame hike; Amiri (guide), Raheem (chef) and Amiri, Saleem, Amani, Jafari (porters). You guys are superstars and thank you for making a memory of a lifetime. Hakuna ✌️Show more

I had the most amazing time on the 7 day Machame route. Every day was unique, beautiful and challenging in its own way. Swaleh was my guide and I couldn’t have wished for anyone better. I tend to panic at times and he did the most amazing job at calming me down / motivating me when needed. He was super easy to chat to and really fun :) The whole team were wonderful; Amani, Denis, Charles, Ayub and Chisano. Everyone works so hard whilst maintaining such a fun vibe and smiley face. I recommend this trip to anyone considering it, you won’t be disappointed. I am so sad it’s over!!! It’s tough but it’s worth it xxShow more

Excellent organization. I was most impressed by the really attentive, strong crew. Swaleh was a delight as a guide and I would not hesitate to book him again. From the copious and delicious meals to the spacious tent, this was definitely more of a luxurious climbing experience than I expected. The six day route was fine for me. I spend a lot of time hiking, and nothing about the route was particularly difficult other than the lack of sleep on summit day.Show more

  As I understand, only the Marangu route offers hut accommodations. Is that correct? Is this route strenuous?
- Almighty KilimanjaroOperator•Written June 2022
  Yes it's the only route which offer Hut as accommodation, the northern circuit in terms of high success rate beat marangu route by far
