    This tour was simply amazing. I was nervous at having to climb Kili as someone who although loves hiking, has never been higher than Cusco, Peru. The altitude made me fear the climb but everyone responsible for organising the trip including John himself, made me feel at ease..he reassured me that he has done this many times. That we will go "pole pole" and thus combat some potential altidude sickness. So I highly recommend going with John group/company for the constant reassurance. Thank you guys

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience on Kilimanjaro, look no further than John Adventures. His professionalism, deep knowledge of the mountains and wildlife, and warm, welcoming personality make him one of the best guides in Tanzania. From day one, John’s expertise was evident. On our Kilimanjaro trek, he was not only well-versed in the mountain routes, weather patterns, and altitude acclimatization strategies, but also incredibly attentive to the needs of every member of the group. He paced the climb perfectly, always monitoring our health and ensuring we were both safe and motivated. His encouraging words – “pole pole” – helped us reach the summit with confidence and a sense of team spirit. What sets John apart is his genuine care for his guests and his team. He leads with humility, kindness, and a calm, confident energy that puts everyone at ease. By the end of our trip, he didn’t feel like just a guide – he felt like a friend. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Tanzania. John is the guide you want by your side.
