Amazing experience with Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris
We group of 20 successfully completed Machame Route,7 Days on September,2023. Every support staff member was professional and extremely supportive. Our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Our team of 100 crews did everything to provide us with a memorable experience and achieving our goal of summiting with all the 20 members. We could not have achieved our goal without this fantastic team and their meticulous planning. We selected Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris after negotiating with diferent safari companies. Pamoja is very reliable and reasonable in pricing. Simply Pamoja is exceptional! I would definitely recommend Pamoja to everyone.

One of the best choice for trek Kilimanjaro or safari
Just done 7 days trek and 5 days safari with Pamoja and I will say glad that I chose them. Entire crew are experienced, which leads me successfully reach uhuru and capture exciting moments during safari. The last one I had to mention is Richard - owner of Pamoja, you will find out that he is treating you as a friend far more than a customer.

Reliable guides and meticulous pre-planning that you can trust.
We say many recommendations for Pamoja on Taiwanese blogs. Before the trip began, we could sense Pamoja's dedication, and later, we discovered that the boss, Richard, personally handles all the things. What's even more surprising is that Richard even climbed with us for two to three days. As we had a member in our group who walked at a slower pace, we chose the seven-day Machame route. During this trip, we had the privilege of being guided by three outstanding guides: Israel, Omary, and Jovan, along with other incredibly friendly staff. Thanks to them, all five of us successfully reached the summit. The professionalism of our mountain guides was one of the trip's most crucial elements, and their attention to detail was evident right from the equipment check before departure.

Nice and warm team
I got 6 days with this team and they treat me like family. The whole journey was so much fun and really feel u r taking care well from the morning washing water to summit warm honey tea. The owner Richard is also a nice person, and he is not only treat customer well but his employees. He can help u to solve a lot of problems and give u really good advice.

Helped create wonderful memories.
Pamoja Kili and Safaris overall provided a very good hiking and safari experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning to do either the hike or safari. Ours was a large group with 20 hikers and that meant a support crew of 105 people. Richard and his team managed the trip very well even for such a large group. Starting from the pickup at the airport to dropping us off back to the airport after the end of our trip was done in a smooth friendly manner. All the guides and porters that supported us during the hike were very knowledgeable, friendly and very supportive. They kept checking with us all through the hike to make sure everyone was doing fine. The food served during the hike was amazing and they did check everyone's vitals each evening. They also provided additional snacks for mid-hike snacking every day. The toilets were maintained well and cleaned periodically. They paced the hike so that everyone was comfortable. The only disappointment we had was the "celebration lunch" after we completed the hike. It was a big let down with just one type of banana stew. Looks like there was some miscommunication or misunderstanding by the chefs. When Richard was made aware of this, he apologized profusely and made it up by organizing a celebration dance event by hiring a group to perform in the evening at our hotel. They helped us beyond just the hike. They made us feel like their guests by taking us to good restaurants for dinner and making sure there was someone from their team always with us, whether we went for shopping or drinks or food. Richard personally joined most part of the hike and ensured everything was going smoothly. After the hike some of us went on the safari. The safari jeeps were clean and well maintained. The guides/drivers (Joshua/ Denise) were very knowledgeable and friendly. They would answer all the questions we had and provide lot of information on their own as well about animals, people the area we were visiting etc.. They were very professional and punctual. The places they had booked for our stay during the safari were awesome. Overall a very positive experience and I highly recommend Pamoja Kili safaris to anyone considering Kilimanjaro hike and safari.

7 days Lemosho trekking + 3 days Safari
We had really good experience in Tanzania with the team Pamoja. We joined their 7 days Lemosho route tour to the Mount Kilimanjaro and also 3 days for Safari. Their trekking team is very professional and helpful. The guides were highly experienced and we felt so reassured to follow their steps and advices. They also took good care of us, even my wife got sick on the mountain, they knew how to make her feel better and summit to the top. The porters were very strong and helpful. We enjoyed a memorable trip with their help. I really recommand the Pamoja as your guide to summit the Kilimanjaro because they have experience in tailor making the trip for you. Also, they are good English speakers. If you have any problems, you can feel free to ask them and they are willing to give their helping hands. For the Safari trip, we have seen many different types of animals with detail explanations from the guide. However after the three days trip, we think 3 days are not enough for Safari. We will come back again for our next holiday.

Great hike/safari experience but very poor communication/service from tour operator
We did Kilimanjaro hike as well as Safari with Pamoja's team. Overall trip during the hike and safari was amazing and they crew went of the way for us to have a great experience. Our group consist of 20 people and we all were able to successful summit which is amazing (thanks to the guide/crew for the Pole Pole approach). I was very impressed with crews humbleness and willingness to help all along the way but I felt Richard being a owner/tour operator did fairly poor job for pre/post hike and safari which is as follows Beside this our experience for pre-hike and host hike was quite unpleasant and the same applied for Safari experience. After the hike, our post hike lunch feast, which included bare any food to eat and we ended up going to hotel and ordering food. Most important we wasted several hours instead of enjoying our time in Moshi. Our plan for safari was communicated after 10pm to leave for tomorrow 7am which was very poor. We requested few additional rooms during our safari, which was not provided. We came back from Safari after 6-7 hours of drive, we unloaded all all belonging during the rain in the hotel, we been told that our hotel reservation was not there and needed to move another hotel. This created a stressful at 9pm whereas some of us has to leave by 6am. These are sign of poor communication and not able to provide a basic service from planning/communication standpoint. I have forgotten a package in the JEEP, it took me to remind them 4-5 times before they redeliver my package and very poor communication. Although, I really like my trip with Richard and crew but all cumulative errors made the experience with this group pretty unpleasant feeling at the end! I hope that they really take this honest feedback seriously and provide better service for future customers. Thank you

Great experience and a lifelong memory
Richard took good care of us, arranged everything for us including the mountain and safari, and it was totally perfect. Also very lucky to have Waziri and Apeles as our guide, we love them so much and the whole team. We will definitely visit Tanzania again.
