What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Rongai Route: The Rongai route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north, close to the Kenyan border. Though gaining popularity amongst climbers, Rongai has low traffic. It is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu & Machame route, for those who would like a more remote hike, and for those who are climbing during the rainy season as the north side receives less precipitation.

      Golden Team..! 💪
      This trip with Golden Summit Adventures was amazing! We heard about this organization and it over met our expectations! From the first briefing until return to our hotel at the end of the trek it was clear that we were in experienced, capable hands in Dulla and Jonhson our guides, chef, mountain soldiers (porters), and the quality of the service they provided. They gave nothing but positive energy, expert advice and encouragement throughout the entire expedition. We had total confidence in them throughout and they left us in no doubt that we were capable of reaching the summit. The team of support was excellent and we were in awe of the organization and level of commitment of each member. It was clear that our comfort and safety were top priorities for each team member. The food was plenty, varied and delicious. It was just perfect, nothing to add. I can't say enough good things about Golden Summit Adventures, and would recommend them enthusiastically and wholeheartedly to any of my friends or family who are looking for a Kilimanjaro Climb

      Golden Summit Adventures
      What an adventure. Myself, my mother and our friends just returned from a 7-days trek. This company exceeded our expectations. 5-stars reviews out there but there is nothing like speaking directly to other clients on the mountain to gauge how Golden Summit Adventures were so superior to other companies! We were in such good hands as he had extensive experience, medical knowledge, encouraging/positive demeanor, and a really fun wit to him. The food had a variety of healthy fruits and veggies, a protein, carb and prepared with tasty sauces, curries. Warm soup/stews or porridge was served at the beginning of each meal. Our crew was friendly, humble and met our needs in every way. The tents were always set up when we arrived and they appeared to be of very good quality and we had very warm sleeping bags. Warm coffee or tea was brought to us while we got ready for the day. That was a such nice touch. Also, our water bottles and back pack bladders were filled each morning. We felt very pampered. Each day while hiking we had beautiful views. With the daily climbing and acclimatizing we were prepared for summit day. We were able to make it to the top and accomplished our own personal dreams, but truly it was a group effort and each and every crew member had a special role in making our dream come true! Suffice to say other clients were REALLY jealous of our team and facilities. Golden Summit Adventures is the trekking company I would recommend. They were excellent, known for taking care of their employees and this is evident in the skill.

      10 days honeymoon in Tanzania!
      Golden Summit Adventures was a great choice for our 10 days honeymoon in Tanzania! The coordination with planning was top-notch, with Elly (our coordinator) helping us plan the perfect experience for us. He was incredibly professional and quickly responded to e-mails at all hours of the day. Golden team went above and beyond and was another reason why our trek was so enjoyable and memorable. They helped us practice our Swahili and spent time getting to know us. They also were able to accommodate my severe peanut allergy without hesitation and they baked a surprise cake for my wife's birthday on the mountain--SO COOL!! Speaking of food; A very good ‘stomach engineer’ we ate the best of our lives on the mountain. And of course, Kili itself was absolutely incredible!! Speaking of Summit; The team also made sure that we were prepared for summit night, even though it was challenging, Team helped us get to Uhuru Peak and have fun while doing it! We had great views and loved every second of it. How wonderful our Honeymoon days in Safari.? Our guide Agrey was incredible leading us through the safari, searching for the animals and sharing a lot of interesting information and fun facts! From first minute to last was always smiling and happy to help us with everything. We see EVERYTHING and a huge part of that was of course down to luck and Agrey getting us to these places with his eagle eye. During the safari Agrey was preparing lovely picnics with very tasty food ready from the lodges. We had a great experience eating and open Champaign in Serengeti, surrounded by hundreds of wildebeests. Although there are hundreds of other companies, my wife and I can say with 100% certainty that Golden Summit Adventures is the BEST company out there! We had an incredible experience and a huge part of that experience was because of the Golden summit team. The support and comfort of mind from the company and trekking group was unbeatable. I would highly recommend going with Golden Summit Adventures to have a great and in-depth experience of Kilimanjaro and Safari. All trip was very well planned, and we needed only to enjoy the moment and not worry about a thing.

      Extremely Pleasant Trip
      Extremely professional. Elly went out of his way to make me comfortable. When my flight got cancelled he immediately came to the hotel to help me get a new one. All of his staff, the guides, cooks and porters, were friendly, approachable and made me feel welcome. I could not have gotten to the top without their support. I saw all of the big 5 on my safari after the climb. Nothing but good and comfortable experiences. Golden Summit is a local Tanzanian company. Booking with them ensures your money stays in Tanzania. The service is exceptional and you can book with them with complete confidence.

      Climb Kilimanjaro
      Since we start contacting with Golden Summit Adventures, the information was really easy and we felt safe with all the process. Golden team was very professional and good at their job. Porters have been incredibly fast at carrying and packing. The cook Mapenzi managed to make a different and tasty meal every day in those conditions. With their support I managed to get to the top with my guide Mtey and Laraha and summit porter. They were very cheerful all the way while I was getting tired near the top We did not believe we could make it. But the team and our guides Mtey and Laraha made it possible. How we made it I will never know to be honest as we encountered storms all the way up to the top and all through the night. But we made it. All our experience since day one we schedule out trip until the last day in Moshi Elly; was close to us making sure everything was ok. We will definitely visit them again. The experience was life changing and I recommend Golden Summit Adventures to all who plan on visiting Tanzania and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

      Really impressed female guide and porters on Kilimanjaro Mountain.
      Thanks to all Golden summit team they are really good organized all time taking care of us really feel like part of their family. We did the 8 days Lemosho route to the summit, which was perfect for everybody. The trip was amazing and life changing for us all. Our group of 9 climbers all reached the summit on a clear and breathtaking morning, as the sun broke over Mt. Kilimanjaro. Every day we have a delicious surprise from our best and best chef Mapenzi. I was impressed by it. Three times a day a warm healthy and tasty dish. During all day walking our guides Mtei, Laraha, Frenk and Lulu was close to us and be sure we were safe and make our dream came true and read Uhuru Peak. Were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and positive. They really knew the mountain, and took excellent care of us. We’ve learned a lot about the country, Kilimanjaro, vegetation and the culture. Our porters were also amazing. Were all extremely helpful, friendly and funny. Every time we arrived at a new camp, each porter made us feel welcome and at home. One thing that really impressed us about Golden Summit Adventures was having female GUIDE AND PORTERS. We were the only group I saw who had female porters in our crew and 1 of them works as a guide for the company. She was treated very good. A heart-felt thanks to Elly and his most excellent organization Golden Summit Adventures. We will definitely visit them again. The experience was life changing and I recommend them to all who plan on visiting Tanzania and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or going Safari.

      Excellent, experienced crew
      Company was well organized, down to the smallest details (e.g. having porters look after your belongings while you summit, and keeping meals interesting and filling), with experienced guides whose goal is to get you to the summit safely and teach you about the environment and culture along the way.

      This was my favorite trip of all my life...Thanks to GSA
      All of the coordinating took place with Elly. He helped to organize our trip; he gave us all the information we needed such as vaccinations, packing list and trip details. After arriving Kilimanjaro Airport in Moshi we meet our driver waiting for us and we went to the hotel. That is where we met our guides; they gave us a briefing for what would be going on for the rest of our trip along with a health check. Health checks were Oxygen levels and heart rate tests as well as questions each day about how we felt. We got health checks every morning of our trek. Golden Summit Adventures they work as a team I have ever seen. They guide us up to the roof of AFRICA. The hike was very well organized, the guides Mtei and Laraha was very friendly, competent, and flexible. It was my first time hiking and sleeping at such a high altitude, and yet with the guides' advice and encouragement. The hike was tough, but I definitely wouldn't have made it without the support of the guides and the whole team. I'm very impressed by their physical strength and their calm throughout all the way. We couldn't believe how strong the porters are, carrying their own gear along with all the rest of the gear. I had a great tour experience; I get to meet a new friend that we chatted all through. It was a great experience for me. Our campsites were always set up and waiting for us when we ended our days hike always we was reach at the camp late and we always had 3 hot meals a day. This was incredible being on a mountain. The food was absolutely incredible, our whole family loved everything. Before 3 months I selected them to guide us up to the top of Africa....this are well known company we trust to make a trip to Africa with any one....we enjoyed every moment with my family. Highly recommend GOLDEN SUMMIT ADVENTURES and especially our team and guides Laraha, Mtei and all Golden team.

      We would use Golden Summit Adventures again in a heartbeat.
      We had an amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro with Golden Summit Adventures. Our trip was perfectly arranged and pleasant thanks to these two highly-experienced, humorous and considerate guides. The route is challenging but with the guides advice and support we did it. They were constantly offering to help with things, refilling my water, offering tea/coffee, after reach camp they come back to help our daypack then slowly up the camp and they are very polite. The cook in particular was really great, I am still amazed at how he managed to cook such good meals in this climate. The food portions were also super generous and most of the time I couldn't finish the meals. We would definitely recommend Golden Summit Adventures and would wish to repeat the trip with the them. Because we enjoyed spending time with all the people so much, we ended our trip with a shared lunch with beers with playing music.

      We highly recommend Golden Summit Adventures to anyone looking to do Kilimanjaro.
      We were on a 7 day hike through the Lemosho route and we couldn't have asked for better team, with an outstanding team of Laraha (guide). Professional, proud of their work, thoughtful, funny, and always happy. I would happily go anywhere with this team (Golden Summit Adventures). We're so glad we picked them, and also so glad that we did the 7 day Lemosho route. They organized a great hotel for the night and we were driven around by a great driver who was willing to take us anywhere we needed to go. The entire trip was very well prepared, organized and executed. On the summit night/day, we received amazing support from our guides and porters in order to ensure we accomplished our goals and they helped us come down safely despite our exhaustion. It was a big pleasure and I would always do this trip again with Golden Summit Adventures. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Golden Summit Adventures to anyone who need to do trip in Kilimanjaro

      Amazing Trip
      We really had a great experience with Golden Summit climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro from the first day we inquired until the last day! The whole team was AMAZING; the guides, superb porters and wonderful cook who provided us with nutritious and very tasty meals three times a day throughout the trek. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with Golden Summit was an incredible once a life time experience for me and my husband, we're thankful that I made the right choice and picked the Golden Summit as my trekking mate to making our dream come true!

      Best and most reliable Company in Tanzania
      Very warm hearted and easy communication all the time. We had an amazing trek experience exploring the beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro with a professional guide who made our trek extraordinary…..they determined to deliver a unique, personalized and rewarding adventure by taking us up to the top of Africa. Golden Summit Adventures took very good care of myself and my cousin from the airport pickup to the top of Kilimanjaro and back. We did the 7-day Machame climb. The food was great and plentiful we could never finish it. Expect lots of porridge, french toast and omelets for breakfast, local stews, spaghetti bolognese, and chicken, fries and salads. Our chef Mapenzi would always check in every night to see how we were feeling and alter the menu slightly to suit our stomachs. If you have any dietary requirements be specific about them from the start. Don't be surprised by the number of porters... for 2 pax you'll typically get; 2 guides, a waiter, a chef and around 8 porters. The porters and cooks are all very nice and work extremely hard to make sure the client's experience is optimal. The views of Kilimanjaro and the experience overall is unlike anything I've ever done. Everything was awesome! The guides, the porters, the organ, equipment, ting, help, food, fun, weather........I highly recommend Golden Summit adventures if you want the best experience summiting Kilimanjaro!

      Anniversary in Tanzania, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Safari.
      Golden Summit Adventures took very good care of myself and my husband from the airport pickup to the top of Kilimanjaro and also in Safari. My husband and I celebrated our 10-years anniversary in Tanzania, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and 6 days Safari. Our international airline cancelled our original flight and we ended up arriving in Dar es Salaam instead of Kilimanjaro one day earlier. Elly suggested alternatives for us; he gave us two options one is to find another flight from Dar to Kilimanjaro or to send the car to pick up in Dar es Salaam to Moshi, we choose them to come and pick up us there; 7 hrs driving we enjoy the trip. I can't say enough good things about GSA and our best best crew we have; they went over and above always making sure that we were comfortable and kept a steady pace during the trek and Safari. The Mountain tents and Safari tents were in best quality. All the equipment we used was in a better condition and we had a small seating area with a table inside filled with condiments. We also slept quite comfortably because the sleeping mattress was thick and of good quality it was unexpected. We were very glad to choose this company because also they are very flexible and were able to accommodate two last-minute changes of plans. There was no hope of me achieving my aim without him. Well done and thanks again Golden Summit Adventures, you were amazing......HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. All the best all team, all the best GSA, We wish to see you again….!!!

    Everything was perfect. From the pick up at the airport to the climb to the drop off at the airport post-climb everything was fantastic. First, you are picked up at the airport by the CEO (Elly) and taken to your hotel which is an excellent hotel in Moshi. On day 1 of the climb you are picked up at your hotel by your team and are driven to the gate where the climb begins. Prior to this they do a very thorough gear check at the hotel to make sure you have everything you will need. Anything you need and don't have you can rent on the spot. It's a five day excursion. Day 1, 2, 3, an 5 are easy. Day 4 (summit day) is hard. My team, led by my guide Dulla, was amazing. I observed many of the guides from other companies who were there with other customers and I'm 100% sure Dulla was the best guide. It was not even close. He was on top of every detail throughout the five days. You needed something he had it. There was a problem he fixed it. Couldn't have asked for a better guide than Dulla. Some of the guides with the other companies didn't even make it to the summit on day 4 and had to turn back midway. Throughout the hike the food is good. The accommodation is also good. Once you hike back down to the gate you and your team are picked up and you are taken back to your hotel. Then the CEO (Elly) will come by to the hotel and ask for any feedback - he has a great attitude and work ethic. The next day he picks you up and drives you to the airport. Could not have asked for a better overall experience. The people from Golden Summit Adventures were fantastic.
