Wow, this was a dream come true. I have always wanted to visit Africa and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. OneSeed made this happen! I can't thank you enough. From the advance communications with tips on how to train and what to expect, to the confidence and preparedness of our guides, this trip was amazing. There were 10 of us on the trek supported by a staff of 20 made up of porters, waiters, chefs, and guides. I must say that this was one of the hardest adventures to date but definitely worth it. The scenery amazing -especially trekking above the clouds during the day and under the Milky Way on summit night.Show more

We love the OneSeed experience. There's a lot to know before try to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro, and OneSeed did a fantastic job prepping us in advance. During the six days of the climb and descent, OneSeed guides and porters did an absolutely amazing job of getting us there and back. Safety and security are their top priorities, but they also made the trip fun and enjoyable. The accommodations at the Honey Badger in Moshi were beyond comfortable. My wife and I got there a couple days early so we could do some local activities on our own, and the Honey Badger staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Lastly, we appreciate that OneSeed is a conscious travel outfitter and provides microloans and economic opportunities to the people of the countries it visits. So our visit to Tanzania was a small way of assisting in its efforts to help lift communities economically, and that just plain feels good.Show more

  This is a very strenuous trek and reaches a peak elevation of 19,341 feet in elevation. These expeditions require excellent physical fitness. Treks include longer days and distances trekking, greater elevation gain, and more challenging terrain at higher altitude. Participants should expect high levels of physical exertion at times. Travelers joining these expeditions should be in good physical shape and should expect to hike all day.
- OneSeed ExpeditionsOperator•Written February 2022
  Chinese passport holders are required to apply for a tourist visa online in advance. If you have other questions regarding tourist immigration into Tanzania, I would recommend that you contact the nearest Tanzanian embassy to you for the most timely and accurate information.
