Jackson K2025-02-04 Mountain advisory Great advisor on mountain hiking We had a great and successful hike to Mt Kenya to the top and down in 3days with magnificent views GoPlaces1736252025-02-04 Awesome trip!!! Victor continues to impress me as a mountain climbing guide. His passion and enthusiasm for his craft, his knowledge of flora and fauna, and his dedication to the safety of his clients are unmatched. We had a great and enjoyable trip to the peak of Mount Kenya on the Chogoria Route. I highly recommend Victor for summit attempts of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya and Ruwenzori. Zuri-Nasim G2025-01-31 Incredible Mountain Experience with Golden Kit Tours and Safaris Golden Kit Tours and Safaris is the touring company you want to go with irespective of your age or experience level!! I'm going to explain why. When I was 11 years old, my dad and me wanted a adventure, something to push us, and that was Mount Kilimanjaro. It is where we met Mr. Victor, he was more than a guide, he was a mentor. He taught me about all the wildlife on Kilimanjaro and always pushed me when I thought I counld't continue anymore. After Kilimanjaro I realized that this was something I wanted to do more of, and a big part of the reason for that was Mr. Victor. We decided to do the African Trilogy adding Mt. Kenya and Rwenzori Mountains to our achievements. We set out to conquer Mt. Kenya next mountain and of course we went with Golden Kit Tours and Safaris, it was challenging but because of Mr. Victor, our attempt turned into a summit. After that we decided to attempt Mount Stanley and as a bonus: Mount Speke in Rwenzori Mountains, we knew this one would be challenging but again we suceeeded with Golden Kit Tours and Safaris. I now hold 4 world records: Youngest girl to reach the summit of Mount Stanley, Margerita Peak; Youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Speke, Victoria Emanuel peak; Youngest person to summit Mount Stanley and Mount Speke within 3 days; and Youngest person to summit the African Trilogy. But I can't take all the credit for this, I would like to thank my father, Mr. Adolf, Bayaar, and most importantly Mr. Victor. Wakali wa izi kazi! (we are the experts of this job)!!!! Francesco R2024-12-31 The best climb ever! We actually climbed Kili in November 2023 as Vincent et al. were setting up the company and it was a fantastic experience. Vincent is a superb guide, with plenty of experience and genuine care to make sure you enjoy and climb in total safe. All the other guides and staff that were with us did a great job. Totally recommended! Overland B2024-08-20 Boutique and niche service customized to your condition! Victor’s knowledge of Kilimanjaro terrain, flora and fauna is unmatched! You will not only get a safe summit and a descent but also a crash course into Tan(ganyika)Zan(zibar)-ian history.Victor truly customized our experience to match each individual’s strength, mental and physical condition. He is a motivator and philosopher all in one!It was such a joy to have Vic to guide us that we asked him and Ado to do the same on Mt. Kenya and we had the same pleasant experience. Here is to many more journeys!Thank you Vic and Ado! tahirab20182024-08-19 Climbing champions We used them to climb Mt. Kenya. Victor and Ado are great guides. They organized everything for my family and it was seamless!! Ninie2024-05-10 Amazing Mont Meru Thanks to Golden Kit, Victor the guide and his team were very professional and they organized everything for me from A to Z. My climbs and safaris in several parks and Mt Meru the most recent, everything was fabulous, and Victor and his team not only know where they are taking you, but their great knowledge of biodiversity and geography will teach you a lot. I really felt confident all the time and there were never any problems, only “hakuna matata”! Thank you to them for these incredible moments of my life. Mobile533181351372024-02-19 Trip of a lifetime! I'll start with pre-safari. Victor was organized and always replied promptly to all questions and had us well prepared for our amazing adventure!Upon arrival we were met at the airport by our increditble guide, Nassar. I cannot say enough good things about him. Fun, knowledgeable, accomodating (even worked into our schedule a previously unplanned stop at a Masai village!) and unflappable. He valiently tried to teach me some Swahili - I'm a horrible student! He even accomodated us by doing extra pickups and drop offs at the airport. Absolutely wonderful!The safari was even better than any of us anticipated. Well organized and no glitches. One of the camps was a little more "rustic" than anticipated, but it was a mobile camp and followed the migration of the wildebeast. Well planned with adequate time to see so many animals! Our safari lasted almost 6 full days and we saw so many animals each day. We were in Ngorangoro and the Serengeti. This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime, and I cannot recommend Victor, Nassar and Golden Kit Tours highly enough. You will be in excellent hands and come back with so many wonderful memories!Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 8 reviews
