Kilimanjaro + Safari I came alone from UK booking through Mafie directly, from day 1 Debora, she answered all my questions and helped me at every stage up until the night i left. I was collected from airport taken to the lovely hotel with a pool, the guide on Kilimanjaro Oliver was fantastic him and his team where amazing plenty of food and assistance if needed every step of the way. I also done a 1 day safari which was organised amazingly. I couldn't have asked for anymore help or assistance at any stage of the process and would recommend mafie to anyone thinking of coming over solo or group

Mafie Adventures 7 day Machame was AMAZING!! Climbing Kilimanjaro with my 15-year-old son will be one of those memories we’ll keep for the rest of our lives, and Mafie Adventures played a huge part in making it so special. We did the 7-day Machame Route and from the first conversation they were flexible, helpful and happy to adapt when our plans changed. Everyone we met was warm, genuine and clearly took pride in what they do. The kit was good, the safari was great fun, and there were plenty of thoughtful little touches that we hadn’t expected. Our guides, Oliver and Elisha, were excellent. They knew the mountain inside out, judged the pace perfectly and somehow managed to keep everyone’s spirits high, even on the tougher days. If you’re after a slick, Western-style operator with polished branding and processes, there are other options. However, we wanted something that felt genuinely Tanzanian, and that’s exactly what we got. It felt authentic throughout, and it’s good to know your money is going directly into a local business that supports many local families. We’re very glad we chose Mafie Adventures and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Geweldig, een aanrader! Een geweldige ervaring met Mafie Adventures, alles is tot in de puntjes goed geregeld en ze doen er alles aan om je die Uhuru Peak te laten halen. Ze maken er een feest van! Mijn dank aan de gehele crew!

Climb Kilimanjaro with the best team for the best price for a journey of a lifetime!! A truly unforgettable experience! Mafie made my dream come true. I had been dreaming of climbing this mountain for a couple of years, and from the very beginning, Erastus was always available—day or night—to answer any questions or concerns I had about the trip. He made everything clear, from pricing to the crew to choosing the right number of days, ensuring that my father and I had the best possible chance for a successful summit and an incredible experience. Even though it was an 8 day for the Lemosho route it was no problem for Erastus to change us to a 9 day for extra acclimatization to make us feel more ready! On top of that, the value for what we paid was exceptional—honestly far beyond what we expected for the level of service and care we received. We were beyond satisfied with the entire team. With two guides, a cook, and nine porters, everyone felt like family by the end of the journey. We truly would not have made it to the summit without them. Oliver and Matthew were outstanding—extremely knowledgeable about the mountain and always making the right decisions based on how we were feeling each day. The food was absolutely incredible, far exceeding our expectations. And the porters were amazing—always smiling, offering fist bumps as they passed us, and somehow arriving ahead of us at camp to have everything perfectly set up. Honestly, the whole team felt superhuman with their strength, positivity, and constant support. Nothing was ever done halfway; it was the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced in my life. If you’re considering climbing Kilimanjaro, going on safari, or doing any expedition in northern Tanzania, I would 1000000% recommend this company. Mafie is truly exceptional at what they do.

An unforgettable experience! My son and I summited Mount Kilimanjaro this April with Mafie Adventures, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. There were moments when the challenge felt like more than I was capable of, but thanks to our guides, Oliver and Matthew, they carried us through by encouraging us, and singing with us, and generally keeping our mindsets strong every step of the way. Their belief in us made all the difference. What truly set this journey apart, though, was the entire team behind the scenes. The porters, the cook, the summit porter, and Mudi—who greeted us with meals morning and night—were all just as essential to our success. Their energy, kindness, and camaraderie created something special. The songs, the laughter, and the genuine friendships we formed along the way became as meaningful as reaching the summit itself. If you’re considering taking on Kilimanjaro, you won’t find a better team than Mafie Adventures. They are authentic, caring, and full of heart—with a great sense of humor to match. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Great mountain team, so so communication I joined an 8-day expedition to climb Kilimanjaro and overall had a very positive experience on the mountain. The guides were friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable, always adapting to our needs. We felt safe at all times and trusted the team completely with our belongings and tents. The food exceeded expectations—delicious, well-cooked, and far better than we anticipated for a mountain trek. Everything was ready upon arrival at each campsite, and clean hot and cold water was always available. The team was welcoming and in great spirits from day one. On the logistics side, the hotel included the day before and after the hike was decent, and the company offers airport transfers. However, whether transfers are included depends on your schedule, which can be confusing. I arrived one day late and was charged $70 for the transfer to the park gate. Communication before the trip is mainly through WhatsApp. Although responses are quick, the information provided can sometimes be limited or unclear. The website also lacks detailed information, and the different pricing packages are not well explained. I later learned that the same route can be completed in fewer days for a significantly lower price. Overall, it was a great experience thanks to the mountain team, but the company could improve communication, transparency, and clarity around pricing and logistics.

In safe and friendly hands for a successful climb! Erastus and his Kili team led by Oliver created an ever lasting memory for our group with a successful climb to Kili summit on Feb 2nd, 2026! From the point of landing to safely dropping us back at the airport at the end of the journey, every single detail is taken care of by Oliver and his great friendly and warm team of porter friends. Had an amazing time, great food every single meal on all 8 days, positive hard working company, daily guidance on health and hiking, and we miss the team and all of the memories already that we would like to go back again! Thanks Oliver for your awesome support in making my successful climb despite the challenging summit night and for making my dream come true, thank you to your team for looking after us so well!

Incredible experience Our 7-day Kilimanjaro hike with Mafie Adventures was honestly one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, we felt so well looked after. The whole team was warm, caring, and incredibly professional — it really felt like we were in the best hands. The porters were amazing and worked so unbelievably hard every single day. We had so much respect for the effort they put in to make the trek possible. The food was another highlight — our chef somehow produced delicious, hearty meals at altitude, which kept us going, and our waiter was always so kind and thoughtful. Summit day was without a doubt the most physically and mentally challenging thing we’ve ever done. It pushed us to our limits. But John and Oliver were absolutely brilliant — they kept the mood positive, encouraged us constantly, and knew exactly how to push us when we needed it most. Their energy, knowledge, and belief in us made all the difference, and we’re so grateful we shared the journey with them. We couldn’t recommend Mafie Adventures more. An unforgettable experience made even more special by an unforgettable team.

Amazing experience Amazing experience! I can not fault the mountain team. The guides (Oliver and Richard) were friendly, welcoming and made us feel safe. All of the porters do a brilliant job and work very hard. They all come together as a team to motivate us and lift our spirits daily to make our experience one to remember!

A review to my recent adventure to Kilimanjaro with Mafie adventures I summited kilimanjaro mountain by machame rout in 6 days, and it was challenging by all means. However, mafie’s team made easier and more enjoyable that difficult, I had such a professional team who took care of me during a week with superb service, kindness and supportive sense. A special gratitude to my guid Ombien, who helped beyond what a guide can provide, and he kept me focused and motivated to reach the summit, and he made every day during the course of the trekk so fun and engaging. Finally, an appropriation to Erastu, the owner, and the wonderful team he manages who took care of al the details while I kept myself focused on the journey and not worrying about anything. I recommend booking with them for any adventure, for their professionalism and dedication to their clients.
