Highly recommend
We (me and my boyfriend) did Kilimanjaro and safari tour with Leken adventure. Alex was very responsive and organisied everything we wanted.
We did 6 day Kilimanjaro Machame route tour with guide Leonard and his team (Present, Sadih, Eli,..). They were all very professional and made us feel very welcome. They even taught us a little bit of swahili language.
Leonard made sure that the trip was safe and always reminded us to be confident about reaching the peak. On the peak day i felt very tired and sleepy and i almost gave up but they motivated me to reach the top.
Since i have coeliac disease i asked the company if they could provide me gluten free meals. I was very surprised by Eli (chef) awarness of gluten free diet. He prepared many different and very delicious meals (except store snacks - you better have some with you if you are on gluten free diet).
We also did 3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari tour with Jonas. He was very passionate about finding animals and he had a lot of knowladge about them. We found all the big 5 with him.
We were more than satisfied with the services Leken adventure offered.
The following does not have anithing to do with Leken adventure company but it is something i wish i would be aware of in advance: Guides/porters on Kilimanjaro and safari tours expect big tips. For Kilimanjaro it is expected to tip guide 20$/day, guide assistant and cook 15$/day and each porter 10$/day. (this tips were expected for the whole group not per each client) On safari tour guide expected 10$/day and cook 5$/day (from each client on the tour).
Asante sana to all of you that made our trip unforgettable!

Helpful, hospitable, flexible, made the whole trip fun
I heard about Leken from a friend in Tanzania, at first I was not aware of them or their services, but after reading their reviews and speaking to Alex, I booked my climb of Kilimanjaro.
From the outset they have had transparent pricing and open communication, the pick up from the airport despite a 6 hour delay by the airline really helped and also the transfer back was amazing….any issue however small was taken care of immediately and they did so well in making the whole trip amazing

Perfection
Hello - We are very pleased with the services of Leken Adventure and would be happy to recommend the company to anyone travelling to Tanzania. We booked our dream Honeymoon trip, and the plan included a 2 day hike up Kilimanjaro (to Madara Hut and back), a 4-day trip to the Serengeti and a 1-day safari in Ngorongoro Crater. We concluded the remainder of our trip in Zanzibar which was the wonderful end. Everything was perfect from the quality of the staff, the places we stayed, transfers and the responsiveness of the team.
For the hike, we had Agri coordinate and Amani as our guide who was fantastic because he had the best botanical knowledge (he also took us on an impromptu walk of the Moshi market and it was great to learn how the locals go about their day to day). Benson was our other guide and was also great as he entertained us with local stories and always reminded us to hike "pole pole" up the mountain. Our chef and porter Eduardo was also amazing and did a fantastic cook for us that included a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure to tip these guys because going up an down with all that heavy load is no easy feat!
Hamza was our guide for the safari drives and he was the best there is. He gave us the right information, was very cheerful, resourceful and gave us full confidence in seeing all the big 5 animals (lions, water buffalos, rhinos, leopards and elephants) not just once but multiple times! He was also very accommodating and was happy to wake up early to give us as much time as we needed to explore more. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and friend. He truly lives the motto 'hakunamatata' and ensured we were smiling and laughing for four days straight. Also, in terms of places to stay, we really enjoyed the recommendations to stay at Kontiki (an unreal, 5-star camp site in the Serengeti) and Rhino Lodge (by Ngorongoro - the chef here is 1stclass!).
And finally, Alex was our main POC and was always available on WhatsApp for calls, questions or on the spur decisions. He was wonderful and constantly in touch. Big ASANTESAN from us to you for organizing and all your professionalism!
We 100% recommend Leken Adventure to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania. They offer customized plans based on your budgets and will go the extra mile to ensure you have the best time.
Lots of love,
Justin & Ivanka

Wonderful experience
I experienced amazing six days in Kilimanjaro, and that is a reliable agency, they can arrange everything well. AGREY is a good guide full of responsibility and enthusiasm. I highly recommend him and Leken Adventure
The best tour operator I have ever used!!
We booked through Leken to do a 6 day, Kilimanjaro hike and it was the experience of a lifetime which was all down to the team we had. As soon as I reached out to enquire about the hike, I had a response almost immediately - our options were explained in full and the booking process was simple. I had none of the required clothing so it was all arranged for me to hire what was needed and 3 days after my initial enquiry, we were on our way!
The guides were fantastic and motivated us from start to finish. The chef provided 3 delicious meals a day and every person on our team was friendly, supportive and helpful. The accommodation all the way up the mountain exceeded our expectations.
We would not have made it to the summit if it had not been for Leken. We were well looked after and we enjoyed every moment. A massive thanks to all involved and especially to the guides who took photos for us at the top and who helped carry our personal backpacks when we were struggling. The views and memories made will stay with us forever!! I highly recommend Leken Adventures and would definitely book through them again. Brilliant value for money.

Amazing experience
The safari was amazing, our guide, Jonas, did an incredible job finding the animals and providing explanations, 10/10 for him. Food was also delicious and portions were more than enough, they even had vegan option. Accommodation was also very nice. However, previously to the safari, during the payment day, they forgot that one of us will do the payment in euros, and also the credit card terminal didn't work, so we had a little trouble. Also, our group was of 7 people, and we paid 4 different prices, so always try to negotiate.

Great journey
We had an amazing experience with Leken adventure.
The guide and staffs were so nice and the food incredible! They lead us to the top pole pole (slowly slowly) but surely and safely. Moreover tasting the Tanzanian cuisine on the top of the mountain make your experience even more enjoyable.
Special mentioned to our guide Athanas, the oldest but strongest
Thanks again

Leken is the company that makes the journey more important than the destination
Our group of 9 friends climbed Uhuru peak at the end of February - beginning of March this year. Our main guide, Aggrey and his team made up of 31 guys have made each of us feel seen, supported, listened to and cared for. Their humanity and professionalism, the incredibly delicious dishes Eli cooked for us every day, their promptness, the things they taught us on our way up, their patience and the advice they gave us were all ingredients of an unforgettable experience. Asante sana, Leken! I'll be back.

Our dreams come true with Leken, Florence and his team
Our experience with Leken at every stage of planning and climbing Kilimanjaro was exceptional. Alex, the face of the company, was incredibly helpful during the preparation phase, sending us all the necessary checklists of what to bring and buy, as well as recommending physical exercises. Alex was always quick to respond on WhatsApp, answering all our questions and gladly offering assistance whenever needed.
We were especially fortunate to have our Machame route ascent led by Florence and his team. All seven members of the team were outstanding in their support and willingness to help. They always had our tent ready, the table set, and served food that would have been divine even on flat ground, but in the mountains, it was simply exquisite.
During the summit push, Florence and Ben were with us every step of the way. The guides allowed us to move at our own pace, patiently waiting when necessary, while constantly encouraging and supporting us. The constant sense of care and exceptional service made climbing Kilimanjaro possible under the most comfortable conditions.
The Dream Team will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you, guys!

Great value, friendly and prompt responses; highly recommend
I had an incredible Kilimanjaro and safari tour organized by Leken Adventure. Alex arranged the entire schedule to fit my needs and budget, offering an affordable yet well-planned itinerary. He promptly responded to my emails, both before and during the trip, ensuring everything went smoothly. All the pick-ups were punctual, which made the journey hassle-free.
For the Kilimanjaro trek, I chose the 5-day Marangu Route, guided by Leonard and William along with their professional team. They ensured the trip was safe and showed great patience with my slow pace. Thanks to their support, I successfully reached Uhuru Peak, a truly unforgettable achievement!
During the Arusha city tour, the guide, Elly, was very friendly and knowledgeable about interesting places to visit, making the experience enjoyable.
For the safari tour, Jonas was our guide, and his passion and professionalism stood out. He did his best to search animals and shared extensive knowledge about them. I am fortunate to observe all of the Big Five, which was an absolute highlight.
The itinerary was meticulously planned, and I was especially impressed by the professionalism of the guides, who went above and beyond to make the experience truly memorable. I deeply appreciate Alex for his dedication and effort in ensuring everything went seamlessly. If you're planning a Kilimanjaro trek or a Tanzanian safari, I highly recommend Leken Adventure!
