"Kilimanjaro Hike"

Organised to hike the Machame Route and was put with five others in a group run by Gerry's. The trip was truly amazing. The crew were very good, the food was great (considering you're on a mountain above the clouds!) and I am very proud to say that my whole group made it to the top! The age range of my group was 40-68 and we all had the same mindset of wanting to take our time on each walk, taking lots of photos and having lots of breaks.

An amazing experience all the way to the top via the Machame Route for 7 days!. The trek was very hard and physically exhausting, but worth it!

"Climbing Kilimanjaro Great Experience!"

After much research into companies, my fiance and I decided on Jerry Tanzania Tours. It was the best experience of our lives and we are so grateful to Regan, Brighton (our two guides), our cook, and our many porters who helped us to achieve one of our dreams. From the time that we were met at the airport, until the time we left Tanzania, we were well cared for. Transfers were easy, payment was easy. It was a great experience.

"Wonderful Kilimanjaro adventure"

Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Machame Rout on september 9, 2019 became reality thanks to team Dani, Willy and Beny of Jerry Tanzania Tours. Thanks to that wonderful team we succeeded and we felt safe throughout the 7 days of our journey. We could not have done it without them. Each and everyone of team of Jerry Tour contributed to the realization of our objective of make Uhuru Peak summit; they are immensely positive, welcoming. We became one team for one dream. The walk to the summit is tough and we could not have done it without the support of Dany and his team. we will not forget you; we will always remember your positive and open attitude. Thank so much!!!!!!

"Kilimanjaro"

We did a 7-8 day experience on the Lemosho route in the third week of July in a group of 6. It was a splendid experience. For people worried about physical shape, you do not have to do much training or exercise pre-Kili. Just listen to your guide, carry altitude sickness medication, and pace yourself. It was pretty doable. Jerry Tanzania Tours guides were amazing. Definitely comrades for life. Our group greatly enjoyed the experience and came out stronger friends than ever.

"Incredibly life changing!"

I hiked for 8 days with Jerry Tanzania Tours along the Lemosho Route and the experience was incredible. The hike itself can be stressful at times, so the crew you climb with is very important. The guides and porters with this company were some of the kindest, most generous people you will find and helped out every step of the way. Shout out to our guide Akyoo for a life changing tour. Highly recommended!

"Climbing Kili: Lemosho 7 days"

I climbed up Kili in early January 2019 and was one of the greatest things I have ever done. Jerry Tanzania Tours was very professional from the beginning with reliable emailing supplying us with all the necessary information prior to our trip. They upheld their professionalism throughout as we all felt the guides had planned everything for each day accordingly. I seriously cannot complain about anything, except maybe sing more songs!! haha. Overall great hike, and awesome staff!

"Awesome Trip!"

My two friends and I decided to climb the Kilimanjaro and after some research we chose to go with Jerry Tanzania Tours. After having successfully reached the summit in December, it was clear we could not have made a better choice. From the first minute to the last, it was the amazing crew that made our trip so memorable. Especially given the fact that our ascent on the last days was one of the most difficult ones - as our guide told us - due to -19C temperatures, horizontal ice rains and no visibility, we would never have made it to the top and experienced the amazing feeling of accomplishment without Regan and Mremi, our two wonderful, experienced and determined guides. Of course, the same could be said for the rest of the great staff that carried our stuff, cooked amazing food on the mountain every day etc. etc.
