I can clearly recommend a trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro with the guys of Popote.

Sabino the manager of Popote and our two guides Shani and Omari and the rest of the crew took very good care of us.
We went on the 8 day Lemosho route. The route was spectacular, the guides helped us on the way, had interesting information, the food was excellent and the spirit of the whole team was great.
In total it was super fun, even on summit day (which was wonderful and breath taking, yet exhausting the team was very supportive and pushed us up Uhuru Peak.

On top we went with Massoud, a local guy with the disability of being short statue. The team took greater care of him and managed to plan the route challenging and fun for the three of us. In the end we all made it to the top.

Thanks to Sabino and his team, I wish you a lot of success in future.

Did my 1/7 summit hike with popote africa and a 100% met my expectations in making my trip a successful and eventful one. A big shout out and thank you to the team who have made my trip an unforgettable experience. I want to thank Redeem and Sabino who effortlessly answered to all my questions despite all the emails that kept bouncing to and fro. Really glad to have my trip guides, "Raymond" and "Sanka" who were always pushing us to reach our goals and keeping us in check to make sure we are doing great. Katherine and I wouldn't have made it to the top if it wasn't for them. Amazing job that Raymond and Sanka has done, appreciate it. "Ali" was our cook and always serving us delicious meals everytime. Yum yum! best mountain cook ever. and for the porter team, you guys are the fittest, strongest and most important of all the happiest bunch of people that I've ever met. "hakuna matata" like they always say or "pole pole". Thank you for these simple Swahili words and THANK YOU, for making my trip an unforgettable one.

Best Regards,
Nicholas

(P.S - Porter team, Nicholas, Rashid, Jacob, Zidane, Nicholas, Fuku, Emiri, Innocent. Amazing team, thank you! )

We have visited Tanzania in February 2020, our trip included Mt Meru climb and safari in Tarangire park, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara park. We were in group of 10 people, including 5 teenagers.
For all of these days we have chosen Popote Africa and that was very good decision. We received not only what was contracted, but also extra effort, starting from the very beginning, when we have missed the last flight segment and had to stay overnight in Nairobi. Popote (in particular Redeem) helped us then and we managed to get to Arusha.
We started with Meru trekking. Our guides were very professional, prepared us to the climb, taking care about everything, from water containers to daily healthchecks or briefings. We were looked after by the whole team, we enjoyed every moment with them, had full trust in them, but also lots of fun. I don't think we would make to the summit by ourselves. With the big group, during the night hours to the summit, each one of our group had difficult moments, but we always had a great support of the team: guides Dickson and Jamal, and porters: Faraja, Dickson Moto, Shehe, Rashid, Innocent. Tanzania warriors: thank you for bringing us there and back safely, in good health and in fantastic mood.
After Mt Meru we took safari trips to 3 national parks. Again, our drivers and guides, Tooma and Davis were great, experienced and knew when and where it is worthy to go or to wait. We owe also recognition to our "stomach engineer" for delicious meals :-).
That was dream vacation for us. It wouldn't work that way without experienced and engaged team of Popote. I can proudly say I have friends in Tanzania now!

even if we were sleeping in tents! Their work was what we needed to get to the top.. very happy and thank you to Simon, Stanly and crazy Will, you made our dream come true!

Safari was fantastic, we visited 3 parks, but Ngorongoro crater was an amazing experience.. very highly recommended!

Thank you Popote Africa!

Very well organized, professional.... we spent 3 days with our guide Beatus who was always available, nice and funny. He explained us a lot about his country, his culture and wonderful parks we visited. We had a real great time, we loved it !

Recommended by friends. Extremely professional! Gear check on arrival, health status every day (oxygen levels, pulse, side effects of altitude all registered). It was a fantastic experience! Unforgetable! To climb Kilimanjaro with Popote Africa’s crew was outstanding! Everyone was so kind and caring with us! We never once felt neglected, unsafe or even just clients! Everyone was important and extraordinary throughout the whole 6 days and we will never forget them! They really outdid themselves and made dreams come true! All was appreciated. Their company, endless help and motivation. Even in the hardest hours, they just say that you can and you will make it...and you do, thanks to their experience and taking the time to know each and everyone they take up the mountain, just because safety is always first and they know what we’re up against! Special thanks to Imrani, MJ and Johnson, our most recent friends in Tanzania!

Acclimatization went great, along with everyday briefings, food was excellent, portable shower and toilet tents were terrific!

Sabino and Redeem, thank you for making things easy during planning this huge adventure!

Booked with Popote based on a recommendation from a colleague and couldn't be more satisfied with how things worked out. Sabino was very prompt with all communications and very easy to work as I booked my first trip to the continent of Africa. Kanti - our guide/driver was very knowledgeable and clearly focused on delivering customer satisfaction. Saw the big 5 as well as many other wildlife!! I would unhesitating recommend booking a trip with this outfit.

Popote was excellent. I did the 8-day Lemosho route with Raymond and Sanka as guides. They were great and very attentive/response to how we were going. In addition to the guides - the porters, chef, waiter and entire crew were very friendly and incredibly impressive in their work. The food was plentiful and delicious. It is no exaggeration to say that infinite credit is due to the whole team for the fact that I made it to the top. Book with Popote!
