Amazing, do it.

"Ascend was great. Super easy to work with. Booking process was so easy, all done from my phone. Communication was really good. Cost was great. The group was very experienced. Ended up just being solo coincidentally. Spoke with my guide, Ola, who was awesome. Super informative and friendly. It felt like we talked about everything under the sun. I took the 6 day Machame route and the weather was great despite being on our way into the rainy season. The cook, Max, and porters Amadeus, Tobias, Ismael, and Paolo were all very friendly. I ate with them for a couple of lunches but otherwise was eating in my tent. Amadeus was also the waitet and was really attentive and did everything he could to make the trip go well. Max's cooking was great. I was a little stunned to get fresh fruit and vegetables. Those guys work hard! Landscapes were awesome - from the cultivation zone to rainforest, moorland, Arctic desert, and Arctic zone - each had its own appeal. Really beautiful, to say the least. Overall, it was well organized, safe, friendly, and fun."

Amazing Experience!

TripAdvisor

"It was an incredible trip! I managed to summit the Kilimanjaro thanks to Ascend Tanzania. Super profesional-close team! The Customer Service (by WhatsApp) was great, the 2 guides (Sam and Goody) super supportive, the chef (James) fantastic (plenty of food and even he prepared a pizza for us) and, the rest of the crew (Shabani, Machame, Richi, ....) incredible! It was a great experience supported by a great company, Ascend Tanzania!"

"Made it to the top of Kilimanjaro with Ascend in September, really great trip. Ascend looked after is from airport to airport and even booked a safari for us after our climb. The climb itself was amazing, and expertly led by the Ascend guides, ably assisted by brilliant porters. It was great to see safety being a priority, and the food was good too. I went with a friend and they grouped us with another couple who were great company throughout. Thoroughly recommended."

Enjoyed my climb with the Ascend team!

TripAdvisor

"Had such an amazing experience with the team. Before the climb, I was in contact with Syed via email and he was very swift and helpful with his responses. He arranged everything for me - from the airport transfers, to the gear rental and the hotel accommodation. I even had a change in tour dates and hotel but Syed and the team was very flexible with it, so I'm appreciative of that. The climbing team was remarkable. My guides Ola and Enock were very helpful and amazing. The porters, the waiter (hello Juma!! Best service ever!), the cook, the entire team made the climb memorable. It wasn't an easy climb, but they made sure we were well-fed, had plenty of food, and that we had a wonderful time. Also, Ascend Tanzania was also one of the more reasonably priced outfitters, which was within my budget. Will recommend!"
