Maya N2024-12-23Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho route with Golden Bamboo Tours I had an amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route in October with Golden Bamboo Tours. From the start, the planning and arrangements for the trip were seamless. We stayed at a comfortable 3-star hotel in Moshi Town, where the team made sure everything was in place for the climb. On the arrival day, the guides meticulously checked all our trekking and camping gear to ensure everything was ready, followed by a detailed briefing about the Lemosho route.Once on the mountain, the team’s support was outstanding. Their singing and dancing kept us motivated and energized throughout the journey. Our chef, Joseph, prepared delicious meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—providing us with the energy we needed each day.Our guides, Deo, Ibrahim, and Jackson, were exceptional. They led us at a steady "polepole" (slowly, slowly) pace, offering valuable insights about the Lemosho route and the mountain. Their expertise and encouragement made a huge difference in helping us achieve our goal.A big thank you to the entire team for their unwavering support, and a special mention to Mr. Lyimo for the excellent trip preparation and organization from our arrival in Tanzania to our departure.I highly recommend Golden Bamboo Tours to anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro—it was truly an unforgettable experience!Verified

Oliver R2023-12-12THE BEST TOUR AGENCY FOR KILIMANJARO TREKKING AND WILDLIFE SAFARIES This was the first time I had travelled with Mr Lyimo . The company specialises in expert-led cultural and wildlife tours in Tanzania East Africa. Group numbers are small, accommodation at the hotel in Moshi Kilimajaro was comfortable and food excellent. The expert mountain and safari guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary for 6 days Climbing Kilimanjaro and 5 Days wildlife safari was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Kikuletwa Hot springs ( Maji Moto) . The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver!Thanks Mr Lyimo for your good arrangement.VerifiedTRAVEL J2023-11-09KILIMANJARO TREKKING , MATERUNI WATERFALLS,KIKULETWA HOTSPRINGS AND WILDLIFE SAFARI We booked a trip to Tanzania East Africa with Mr. Mboya the owner of Golden bamboo tours is the best corporate travel agent i have everworked with ..From a customer experience perspective, hes service is superlative..
