I joined two tours with this company during my trip to Tanzania in October 2025— a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb and a 5-day Safari in Serengeti National Park — and both experiences were truly excellent. For the Kilimanjaro climb, I did the Marangu Route (6 days, 5 nights), which includes mountain huts. Our guide David was professional, knowledgeable, and spoke fluent English. He communicated clearly and checked our oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels every day. Whenever I had questions about altitude sickness or emergency situations, he answered patiently and with confidence, which made me feel very safe. The company also requires guides to carry oxygen for emergency use, which is very reassuring. Our climb was a private tour for two people, supported by two guides, one chef, and six porters. I would also like to give special thanks to Mr. Simba, our summit porter, who helped me a lot during the final ascent. Without his support, I honestly don’t think I could have reached the top. I highly recommend asking for Guide David when booking — he’s professional, humble, and excellent at communication. For the Serengeti Safari, we joined a private 5-day trip with our guide and driver Joshua. He was very knowledgeable about wildlife, always explaining interesting facts about the animals we saw. The safari vehicle (a Toyota Land Cruiser) was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a fridge, plenty of drinking water, and binoculars for animal viewing. The pop-up roof was perfect for game viewing and photography. Prices were reasonable, and everything was organized smoothly. Communication with the owner Richard was also great — he replied promptly and clearly through email, and was very flexible with our requests. For example, he arranged for us to fly instead of drive to Serengeti, and also helped coordinate our preferred accommodation options before and after the Kilimanjaro trek with adjusted quotes. Overall, a professional, reliable, and flexible travel company that I highly recommend to anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or go on a Safari in Tanzania.

We did the Kilimanjaro trek with Pamoja in August 2025 and it was a memorable experience thanks to Richard and his team. Right from all the initial Q&A and communication till the start of the trek, Richard was available for any information we needed via email, phone call or WhatsApp. During the trek the guides David, Felix and Benson were made our camping and hiking experience comfortable and enjoyable. The food was more than enough and very good, the tents were comfy and the entire team was so helpful. I would choose Pamoja again if I were to do a trip to Tanzania next time. They are not just reasonably priced but also provide great customer service and put safety first.

Amazing local tour company! My group is from the US and we chose Pamoja as it is one of the few tour companies that is 100% local to Tanzania. Richard, the owner, was very communicative during the planning process & met us before and after the trip. The trek itself FAR exceeded our expectations…Our crew was always singing and dancing with us & keeping the energy up on the long days… including in the wee hours of the morning on summit night. This made for a very memorable experience. Highly recommend choosing this company if you are looking to tackle this beautiful mountain!

Best Kili Trek Company! If I could give Richard and his teams at Pamoja 6 out of 5 stars, I would. Richard and all of the trek crew were communicative, kind, and professional from start to finish. The trek pricing was extremely competitive compared to other companies, and it is one of the few (or perhaps the only) locally-owned Kilimanjaro trekking companies.Our team of five was deeply grateful for the guides Adolph, Gerald, and Pablo, as well as the porters and other staff who kept us fed, had camp set up and packed up promptly each day, and kept spirits high with plenty of singing, Swahili lessons, dancing, and jokes. We would not have made it to the summit without them all.

We enjoyed every bit of the trek at Kilimanjaro by choosing Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris. We evaluated multiple trekking companies, comparing packages, reviews, and recommendations. Eventually, we chose Pamoja (which fittingly means together). It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The guides were attentive and kind, the porters tireless and cheerful. They carried our loads, sang along the trail, taught us Swahili, and lifted our spirits when altitude tried to bring us down.If I had to do this again, I would chose Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris company. Richard was great from the get go and was very accommodative and supportive.

And I won’t forget that when I came back to camp, the team members were smiling happier than I was.This is one of the most memorable moments of my trip.Thank you for the care of the Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris team along the way and look forward to meeting with you again.

Pamoja helped all of us summit Kilimanjaro!! Pamoja did an outstanding job organizing and supporting our group (Healthy Lifestyle, Bay Area chapter). From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly helpful and dedicated to making our hike a success.Throughout the trek, we were well taken care of — with delicious meals, clean tents, and even proper toilet arrangements. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and professionally handled.A special shout-out to our guide, August, whose leadership and encouragement played a crucial role in helping every single one of us reach the summit. Without his motivation and the tireless support of his team, we might not have made it to the top.Thank you, Pamoja, for such a memorable and successful experience!

The best crew to make your day better An Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Experience with Tanzania PAMOJA ToursClimbing Mount Kilimanjaro was one of the most meaningful and challenging experiences of my life — and I truly believe I couldn’t have done it without the outstanding team from Tanzania PAMOJA Tours.From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, PAMOJA took care of everything with professionalism, kindness, and heart. They weren’t just a tour operator — they were our companions and our biggest supporters throughout the entire journey.🗻 Professional, Caring, and Experienced GuidesOur guides were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, always making sure we were safe, motivated, and healthy. Every step of the way, they shared insights about the route, offered encouragement, and made us feel like we were never alone on the mountain.🍲 Amazing Crew and MealsThe support team — including porters and chefs — were just as impressive. After long days of hiking, we were greeted with warm meals, hot tea, and genuine smiles. The food was surprisingly delicious and gave us the energy we needed to keep going.🤝 The True Spirit of “Pamoja” — Togetherness“Pamoja” means “together” in Swahili, and that spirit defined the entire experience. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a first-time climber like me, PAMOJA ensures everyone is seen, heard, and supported. They walked with us — literally and figuratively — all the way to Uhuru Peak.✨ Highly RecommendedIf climbing Kilimanjaro is on your bucket list, I wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania PAMOJA Tours. They made what could have been just a physical challenge into a life-changing journey. I came back not just with a summit photo, but with stories, friendships, and a deep appreciation for the mountain and the people who helped me reach the top.Asante sana, PAMOJA!You’ll forever be a part of my Kilimanjaro story. ❤️
