EXCELLENT Based on 187 reviews Posted on Benoit BVerified Amazing and unforgettable From the ascent of Kilimanjaro to immersion in a farm near Lake jipe It was an incredible human experience Thanks to my 2 guides José and Mika from the agency Ashante toursPosted on irelandbeckyVerified Amazing Kili climb with Ahsante Booked solo on to a group date for a Kilimanjaro climb. Contact was with Holyfield who was great - approachable, informative and responsive. He was also lovely in person on arrival and organised a local sim for me. I had booked to join 5 solo climbers, but this changed, which i was initially disappointed with, however, I ended up with my own guide and team, which was better! Had an amazing time - the guide Benson was absolutely brilliant, really knowledgeable about all of the nature, briefed me every night about the plan for the next day and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have made it to the top on summit night. He kept me going throughout!Team of porters were unreal - such hardworking, lovely, caring people. Food was great considering the height you're at and the conditions!Everything ran smoothly, was well organised and I wouldn't hesitate in using Ahsante again.Posted on Companion08529478432Verified Definitely recommend this tour company. Loved this trip. Great guides and crew, Great food and scenery. the crew couldn't do enough for us and were so helpful and friendly. Everything was perfect.Posted on Davies LVerified Journey of a life time 12 months ago I shattered my knee and was told that my expectations of leading an active life were completely unrealistic. Aiming high, I set myself the goal of climbing Kilimanjaro and managed to convince friends and family to come along. Ahsante tours were completely amazing, from their communication prior to departure to how they looked after us from the start to finish of the trek. Laurence, Innocent and Godifrey our guides were absolutely brilliant, professional, caring, dedicated and absolutely determined that we would succeed. Their attention to detail was phenomenal and from the meals that were cooked for us, the tents that were put up for us and the timely helping hands - the whole team went above and beyond.Posted on Rhona WVerified Want to conquer Kilimanjaro? Don’t look anywhere else. We climbed Kilimanjaro by the Lemosho route and had a truly fantastic experience. Our crew were incredibly caring, supportive and friendly; always smiling, nothing too much trouble. Guides very knowledgeable, experienced and skilled and helped us achieve incredible dawn summit and unforgettable trip- thank you Laurence, Innocent and Godfrey and the whole team.Posted on Ola Lund RVerified Kilimanjaro experience and a thumb up for our new friends in Ashante Tours Back home after 12 unforgettable days in Tanzania – a little tired, but full of energy after reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro (5,895 m).Our group of eight defied cold, altitude sickness, and dizziness – and together we stood on the top as one team.A huge thank you to Ahsante Tours – the guides, camp manager, cook, and the twenty or so porters who every day carried, organized, and moved the entire camp with all the equipment and food for about 30 people, up nearly 4,000 vertical meters. While we slowly made our way upward to save strength, they ran past us with 20 kilos on their heads – and by the time we reached the next camp, everything was ready: tents, kitchen, dining tent, and even the toilet tent. They constantly went back down again to fetch water and supplies. What an effort, what logistics! We bow our heads in deep gratitude. Without them, we would never have made it to the top.After the summit push, when we returned to Basecamp, they celebrated us. We tried to celebrate them in return – and we only hope they truly felt our appreciation.The climb was a nature experience like no other: from lush rainforest, through several climate zones, to the alpine desert and finally the iconic snow at the very top of Kilimanjaro.Our days in Moshi and on the mountain were filled with dedication, joy, humor, and professionalism from our new friends in Tanzania. Their slogan couldn’t be more true: “Come as tourist, leave as friend.” We returned home as friends – and as eight strong ambassadors for Tanzanian warmth, charm, and culture.And whenever our energy faltered, there was one phrase that always lifted us and kept us moving upward: “Hakuna Matata” – no worries.A heartfelt thank you to all of you – from the eight of us!Posted on Rachel AVerified The BEST trip! Thank you. An amazing trip, full of unforgettable experiences. Joseph was an exceptional guide. Knowledgeable, funny, kind and caring. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. It really was a bucket list experience. Thank you so much!Posted on Cat PVerified Kili and Safari A two week journey that goes above and beyond the roof of Africa and the crater of the Ngorongoro Conservation. Memorable experiences of cultural immersion of beauty and happiness within simplicity. Super happy to meet the many friends around the world. Special thank you to BRay and his awesome team of guides and porters. Abjstino, Daniel, Noel, Sachi, and Mary - you guys rock! Ahsante to guide Joseph for all his insights on the Safari. 5 star!!Posted on Mikeala MorrisVerified Kilimanjaro via Machame Route and Safari I can't thank Bryson and his amazing team enough for an incredible experience climbing the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free standing mountain in the world! The guides Noel, Danny, Marylinn, Sachee, Augustino were all incredible and were always encouraging us every step of the way! Benjamin was absolutely wonderful. It was lovely to see his smiling face when he served us all our meals and it was an extra treat getting tea brought to the tent every morning before getting up! The camp manager Michael was amazing. One of my highlights of the trip was the incredible singing and dancing the team did for us on our last morning! Their energy was infectious! I can't recommend Ahsante tours enough!The 3 day safari with Joseph was an unbelievable way to end the trip in Tanzania. Joseph was very professional and passionate about the animals and gave us loads of facts about the animals and the national parks. Thanks for an incredible trip!Posted on Natalie CVerified Life-Changing Kilimanjaro Adventure Life-Changing Kilimanjaro Adventure!Climbing Kilimanjaro to Uhuru Peak was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. Over seven days, our group trekked from Machame Gate to the Roof of Africa (5895m), facing scrambles, breathtaking landscapes, and high-altitude that pushed us both physically and mentally.The support from our amazing Tanzanian team was exceptional. Bryson (Bray), our leader, and what a leader he was, he knew all our needs before we did, Michael the camp manager, Benjamin and the chef, and guides Satchi, Noel, Daniel, Salem, Augustine, and Merrilyn, along with every porter, made the trek not only possible but unforgettable. Their professionalism, smiles, and encouragement kept our spirits high every step of the way.Highlights included sunrise at 5000m, a ginger tea stop at Stella Point, and finally reaching the summit at 9am — a monumental and emotional moment. The morning after summit we enjoyed dancing and singing with the team, a morning I will never forget. We could not have done it without every single member of this team. The food prepared by our cook, aka the stomach engineer was exceptional, the water team, the toilet team and the speedy porters that carried and pitched our tents every night made it feel like home. Maximum respect to the team and fellow climbers – an experience I will never forget!
