Climbing Kilimanjaro exceeded all my expectations. Martin handled the entire organization from A to Z with perfect mastery, everything was smooth, reassuring, and flawlessly managed. You feel supported from the very first moment. A huge thank you to my guide, Georges an exceptional person: caring, attentive, and incredibly motivating. He looks after everyone throughout the trek with professionalism and genuine kindness. Thanks to him, every challenge feels easier and every step feels achievable. And what can I say about the porters, the true heroes of the mountain! Always smiling, unbelievably kind, and deeply inspiring. Their energy and positive spirit brighten each and every day. Those five days together will remain unforgettable: the shared meals in the tent, the warm and joyful moments, the sense of connection in such an extraordinary setting. Truly special memories. The landscapes are simply breathtaking. Every sunrise, every panorama, every step reminds you how unique and powerful this adventure is. An extraordinary human and physical experience that I would recommend without hesitation. Thank you again to the whole team for these priceless memories!Posted on kevinrscottVerified Cannot Say Enough about ETA!!! I truly cannot say enough good things about Explore Trekking Adventures and Martin’s entire team. From start to finish, this was one of the most incredible and a life-changing experience. Climbing Kilimanjaro is no small undertaking, and the professionalism, knowledge, and preparation of this team were evident every single day. They were extraordinarily organized, safety-focused, and deeply experienced. I always felt supported and confident in their guidance. Their expertise on the mountain — from pacing and acclimatization to encouragement on summit night — made all the difference. Beyond their skill and professionalism, what truly sets this company apart is the people. The entire team was patient, kind, and unbelievably fun. They created an atmosphere of camaraderie and positivity that carried us through every challenge. There was constant encouragement, laughter, and genuine care. They were invested in our success and well-being in a way that went far beyond expectations. Martin leads an exceptional group. His integrity, leadership, and attention to detail are reflected in every member of the crew. You can tell this is not just a business...it’s something they deeply believe in. Whether you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro or go on safari in Tanzania, I would recommend Explore Trekking Adventures without hesitation. They will always be my go-to team in Tanzania. Five stars are not enough.Posted on Jessica RVerified January Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek via Machame Route I had an amazing experience with Explore Trekking Adventures on a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Their team was nothing but amazing, from working out last minute travel logistics to caring for us on the mountain. Martin and his team are truly an exceptional group. I will absolutely be coming back to book one of their safari trips!Posted on Benjamin VVerified Une Equipe exceptionnelle pour une grande Expérience avec Explore Trekking Adventure Avec Martin aux commandes d'Explore Trekking Adventure, il s'agit d'une excellente option pour réaliser l'ascension du Kilimandjaro et tout autres activités en Tanzanie. Nous avons pu, par la voie Umbwe, rejoindre le sommet du Kili en 6 jours ; chaque jours aura été remarquable grâce à un accompagnement exceptionnel : porteurs, chef de cuisine, serveur, guides diplômés ... C'était une aventure humaine avec une équipe rigoureuse et expérimentée dont le seul objectif et de vous faire vivre une belle expérience coaching, suivi santé, .... La force de Martin, à travers son parcours dans l'éducation autour du tourisme en Tanzanie est sa capacité à recruter les bonnes personnes pour constituer une Grande Equipe qui mettra tout en oeuvre pour vous permettre de réaliser votre rêve, en couple, en famille ou avec des amis, dans une ambiance de qualité, loin des expéditions rythmés par le marketing. One team, One Dream ! Un petit conseil : ne préparez pas votre ascension du Kilimandjaro sans prendre contact avec Martin, Explore Trekking Adventure. Bonne préparation et belle aventure !!Posted on gabriel tVerified Amazing, humbling adventure I cannot say enough positive things about this trip. I never anticipated the depth of emotion I experienced during it, continue to feel upon my return, and will likely carry with me for years to come. To imagine such a rich and meaningful collection of experiences compressed into so few days is truly remarkable. The care, confidence, compassion, and competence of Martin and the ETA team were unmatched and absolutely vital to the success of our journey. This was a rare treasure of mind-expanding, challenging, joyful, interesting, and deeply humbling experiences—one I will forever be grateful for. Asante sana, Babu Simba.Posted on Jamie DeFVerified Life changing This adventure was truly life-changing. Martin and the ETA team have a rare gift for blending exceptional skill and safety with genuine heart. I owe every bit of my success to their encouragement, attention to comfort, constant presence, and joyful personalities. Their singing and dancing carried us through even the hardest moments. Reaching the peak was unforgettable, but it cannot compare to the love and sense of safety I felt from those who quite literally carried me there. I will hold this experience with me forever.Posted on Sophia BVerified Telling Everyone I Know about ETA One of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Martin and his team were excellent, and I could not have successfully made it up the mountain without them (looking at you, Fred!). They provided not only support, but also delicious meals, safe lodging, and good vibes. Hakuna Matata.Posted on Lara PVerified A true gem in a touring company! I am very grateful to be able to join Martin and his team (Explore Trekking Adventures) now 2 years in a row! Their incredible team guided me and a group of medical professionals to a successful summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro on a medical education expedition. From start to finish, their level of safety, expertise, and thoughtful attention to detail was truly exceptional. As an ER physician, safety and preparation were paramount for our group. ETA's understanding of altitude physiology, acclimatization and route knowledge was impressive. They made sure to meticulously tracked each individual’s progress throughout the climb, adjusting pacing, rest and support to ensure that every member of our group had the best possible chance for a safe and successful summit. Martin and his team tailored this experience to our group. They are thoughtful, adaptive, and genuinely invested in their climbers’ well-being. For example, at altitude, many of our appetites understandably declined, and the team went to extraordinary lengths to make sure we were still properly nourished. One evening, they overheard us joking about craving pizza. To our absolute amazement, later that night our cook had prepared fresh pizza at altitude. They even made an impromptu cake when they discovered it was one of our members’ B day! That moment perfectly captured the heart of this group. The guides, cooks and every porter were outstanding. Their kindness, strength and pride in their work were evident every day. They functioned as a seamless team lifting us up both literally and figuratively. It is impossible to overstate how much their energy and encouragement contributed to our success. ETA gave us the preparation, confidence, and strength to make this climb a success. I trust them completely and feel so lucky to be able to work with this team. I will follow ETA to the ends of the earth and back!!Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 58 reviews,showing our latest reviews
