EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Vanessa Bélanger-RichardVerified Superbe équipe! Réussir l’ascension du Kilimanjaro ne demande pas une forme physique hors du commun. C’est une randonnée époustouflante qui est accessible pratiquement à tous. Toutefois, la réussite de cette ascension dépend en grande partie de l’équipe qui vous accompagne et qui vous épaule durant ce voyage. Asante sana Arrow Trekking & Safaris. Nous étions quatre à tenter cette aventure et, tous les quatre, nous avons réussi à atteindre le sommet du Kilimanjaro le vendredi 13 février 2026. C’est par la route de Machame en 7 jours que nous avons fait cette incroyable randonnée avec l’équipe exceptionnelle d’Arrow Trekking et d’Isaack Nzigael. Arrow Trekking est une agence tanzanienne située à Arusha. C’est une joie immense d’avoir rencontré Isaack et son équipe. Ils ont été aux petits soins avec nous du début jusqu’à la fin de cette aventure. Nous avions de l’équipement de qualité (tente, sleeping bag, matelas, toilette privée, table, chaise, tente pour manger, oxymètre, oxygène, trousse de secours, etc.), de l’eau potable, des repas incroyables et une équipe de feu! Je n’oublierai jamais les 19 membres de cette équipe qui nous ont permis de réaliser un rêve! Tout commence par les porteurs, Goodluck, Muses, Jackson, Steven, Charles, Robert, Enock, Kasim, Anton, Julius, Jason, Samson, Derick, Kaifa et Rashidi, qui sont vraiment des forces de la nature et impressionnants à voir aller. Sans eux, tout cela n’aurait jamais été possible. Puis, notre chef, Laurent, qui nous a fait d’excellents repas chaque jour. Nos trois superbes guides qui nous ont encouragés et aider jusqu’à la fin, Gabriel, Sebastian Shirima et Juma. Nous avons fait un safari de 4 jours, l’ascension du mont Meru et celle du Kilimanjaro avec Arrow Trekking. Je recommande cette agence locale sans hésitation! Isaack sait répondre aux attentes de ses clients avec la plus grande générosité et avec professionnalisme. Asante sana!Posted on Tripadvisor MargotVerified Kili & Safari I had an incredible experience with Arrow Trekking & Safaris. I climbed Kilimanjaro in 7 days via the Machame Route and then did 4 days of safari — everything was perfectly organized. During the Kilimanjaro climb, the whole crew- 19 people (Juma, Sebastian, Gabriel, Laurent, Goodluck, Steven, Jackson, Moses, Charles, Robert, Enock, Kasim, Anton, Julius, Jason, Samson, Derick, Kaifa and Rashidi) was essential. You simply cannot do it without them. They were professional, supportive, and amazing throughout. The food was always delicious, even at altitude! The safari was just as perfect — fantastic guide and cook, great organization, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five in just four days. A big thank you to Isaack for handling all the arrangements, transfers, and hotels, and for always being available to answer my questions. Local agencies deserve more credit — you can book with Arrow Trekking & Safaris with your eyes closed. Asante sana!Posted on Tripadvisor Teresa VVerified Great experience!!! Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Arrow Trekking was an amazing experience. Isaack was a fantastic host, always attentive and professional. The guides were excellent, supportive and very knowledgeable throughout the trek. The food prepared by Laurence was absolutely delicious, far better than expected on the mountain. I highly recommend Arrow Trekking to anyone looking for a well-organized, safe and unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience!!!Posted on Tripadvisor EstherVerified A once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ll never forget! Arrow Trekking was recommended to me by a friend who climbed Kilimanjaro a few years ago — and she was absolutely right! Isaak is an amazing host: incredibly dedicated, always available, and everything was perfectly organized. The 7-day trek was an unforgettable experience. Every day we arrived to perfectly set-up tents, and the food… truly next level. It’s unbelievable how they managed to pull this off time and time again, right in the middle of nature! A huge thank you to Isaak and the entire team of guides (shoutout to Issa!) and porters who made this trip so special. A once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ll never forget!Posted on Tripadvisor Fabian VVerified Arrow trekking - Safari + Kilimanjaro hike Arrow trekking is a highly professional agency where client is king. We were assisted by Isaack throughout our whole stay in Tanzania. He arranged our safari, Mt. Kilimanjaro hike, accommodation, and transport. Everything went very smooth and Isaack was always available when we had questions, we could count on him when needed. Furthermore, his English is very good and he handles in a transparent way. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend Arrow trekking for people looking to visit Tanzania!Posted on Tripadvisor Miria vVerified Incredible 4-Day Camping Safari The 4-day camping safari was truly incredible! It was full of adventure from start to finish—sleeping under the stars, waking up to the sounds of the wild, connecting with the other people in the same safari and exploring breathtaking landscapes. Our guide was fantastic, and we saw SO much wildlife; the Big Five but also much more! The only downside was that the itinerary and campsite were different from what I had originally agreed on, and I only found out at the start of the safari. Still, the experience itself was so great that it didn’t take away from the trip at all. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a raw, exciting, and unforgettable safari adventure!Posted on Tripadvisor Clement DVerified Ascension formidable ! Superbe expérience vécue avec Arrow trekking ! Je recommande cette compagnie ! Un grand merci à notre guide LA MACHINE et toute l'équipe !Posted on Tripadvisor Sightseer39209425821Verified Kilimanjaro hicking & Safari I booked 5 days safari and 5 days climbing to Kilimanjaro summit by Marangu Route from Arrow Trekking & Safaris. It were amazing experiences. Everything was perfectly orginise. The driver took me from Kilimanjaro Airport and after all, he brought me to Kilimanjaro Airport. During the hiking guids took care me, they checked my condition and health by pulse oximeter. I felt very safty. I recommend Isaack and his office if you are planning a safari and Kilimanjaro hicking in Tanzania.Posted on Tripadvisor Toby WVerified Highly recommend Sensational experience climbing to the summit of Kilii! 10/10 would recommend Arrow Trekking. Great food, camping gear, and people!Posted on Tripadvisor Vittal MVerified My family and I highly recommend! Thanks for the trip of a lifetime Arrow Trekking & Safaris driver, we met in Arusha and took off, traveling to Tarangire NP, Lake Eyasi, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Meru, and Lake Natron before flying to Zanzibar. We experienced how the Hadzabe tribes live while on a day-long culture tour near Lake Eyasi; the highlights for that day included my sister getting "married" to a Hanzabe tribesman and our failure at using a bow. I was even able to buy one of the Hadzabe instruments with the help of Alex, our local guide. Also, according to Mr lsaack, we were super lucky, as we were witness to both a leopard eating in a tree and a lion using our vehicle as shade while traveling through the Serengeti. The time we spent in Tanzania was off-the-charts amazing and heaping in culture. Arrow Trekking $ Safaris is full of friendly staff, who are willing to work with budgetary restraints and add customizable additions to trips. My family and I highly recommend! Thanks for the trip of a lifetime
