  If you are thinking about hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, SENE is the guide service you want to use. The owner, Simon, grew up on Mount kilimanjaro and started this guide... read more company. SENE not only leads Kilimanjaro treks along most of the standard routes but also guides research expedition teams on the mountain, as well safaris, biking trips and hikes on Mount Meru and around the base of Kilimanjaro as well. Simon's farms grow a large part of the produce and coffee used for the hikers as well, providing a farm to table approach. His Mbahe farm is set in a beautiful village on the edge of Kilimanjaro. We enjoyed staying in the Mbahe farm cabins as we prepared to start our hike and to acclimate to the higher elevation. The cottages and farm were lovely and such an enjoyable part of our trip. I can't say enough to recommend this company nor to thank them for making our our time on Kilimanjaro more wonderful than I could have imagined. From the first 2 nights at Mbahe village to the seven nights on Mount Kilimanjaro hiking to the summit, our SENE guide team treated us as family and worked around the clock to make our expedition perfect and safe in every way. The head guide, Joel, watched over everyone to make sure we were staying healthy and getting everything we needed to have the perfect hike. The porters even carried a cake...

I can't say enough to recommend this company nor to thank them for making our our time on Kilimanjaro more wonderful than I could have imagined.
From the first 2 nights at Mbahe village to the seven nights on Mount Kilimanjaro hiking to the summit, our SENE guide team treated us as family and worked around the clock to make our expedition perfect and safe in every way. The head guide, Joel, watched over everyone to make sure we were staying healthy and getting everything we needed to have the perfect hike. The porters even carried a cake up the mountain for 3 days to celebrate the birthday of my fellow hiker. The food for all the meals was served hot, fresh, and delicious.
My family and our hiking group are forever grateful to this outstanding company and all the guides and porters who took us on this amazing and worthwhile journey!!! More
