Amazing 8-Day Lemosho Experience with Goduru Travell
We had an incredible 8-day Lemosho Route trek with Goduru Travel and successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro! As two guys traveling together, we couldn’t have asked for a better team and experience. From the beginning, everything was well organized — transport, accommodation, meals, and the trekking schedule. The guides were professional, knowledgeable, and always checked on our health and motivation throughout the climb. The porters worked incredibly hard and were very supportive. The 8-day Lemosho Route was perfect for acclimatization, with breathtaking scenery every day. We enjoyed the forests, moorlands, Barranco Wall, alpine desert, and finally the unforgettable summit sunrise. A huge thank you to the whole Goduru Travel team for making this journey safe, enjoyable, and successful. We highly recommend them to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro!

The perfect guide!
Sele was the best guide possible! He was incredibly organised, hugely experienced and made me feel incredibly safe on the mountain. Everything was done to perfection and he made the trip really enjoyable. I had spent a lot of time researching companies and wanted someone local, Knowledgable and qualified and Sele ticked all those boxes. Highly recommend!

Sele is the only guide you need on Kilimanjaro - Absolute Champion
If you're climbing Kilimanjaro, Sele is the only name you need to know. (Shout out to his mate Wesley too, who is a champion too) I summited Kili with Sele as our guide, and I can say without hesitation he is an absolute champion. Professional, kind, talented, and exactly the person you want beside you when the altitude hits and the mountain gets tough. He doesn't just get you to the top, he makes the entire experience something you'll never forget. What sets Sele apart from the big corporate operators is everything. He's Tanzanian, he knows this mountain deeply and personally, and that connection shows in every decision he makes on the trail. You're not a number on a booking sheet, you're someone he genuinely wants to see succeed. He's calm under pressure, his encouragement at the hard moments, and his expertise made all the difference. If you're choosing between a faceless large-scale tour company and Sele, there is no choice. Back a local, back the best, and back someone who will get you to the roof of Africa with a smile on your face. Pole pole, Sele. You're a legend. 🏔️

Best climb up Kilimanjaro
Sele was exceptionally organized and made our entire trip seamless. His professionalism and leadership on the mountain are clearly respected by both clients and crew. As a tourism business owner in Kelowna, BC, I recognize operational excellence when I see it. I would confidently recommend booking a trip with Sele.

Superb Experience
Booked a tour as a solo traveler joining a group of five. The experience exceeded my expectations completely. Sele and the other guides were extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the mountain. Medical checkups were daily and the health of the group was never compensated. Food was amazing considering it was made at such heights and the hospitality of all porters and guides was amazing. On top of all, the price was considerably cheaper than other companies. Couldn’t recommend more.

Incredible Experience with Sele
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Sele. From the start, he was approachable, friendly, and clearly very experienced. He struck a perfect balance between professionalism and making us feel comfortable, which made a big difference on such a challenging journey. One of the things I appreciated most about Sele was how carefully he monitored our health. He took frequent medical checkups, checking our oxygen levels and asking about how we were feeling. It wasn’t overbearing—it was reassuring. Knowing that he was paying attention to our well-being gave us the confidence to keep going, even on the tougher days. Sele also had a lot to share about the culture and history of Tanzania and Kilimanjaro. I wasn’t expecting to learn so much during the climb, but he made the experience richer with his stories and insights. On top of that, he took the time to teach us some Swahili, which added a fun and personal touch to the trip. By the end, we were greeting everyone with “Jambo!” and encouraging each other with “Pole pole” (slowly, slowly). What really stood out, though, was Sele’s ability to adapt to our group’s needs. He was very aware of how each of us was doing and adjusted the pace accordingly. Some days, when we were feeling strong, he encouraged us to push a bit further. On days when we needed to slow down, he didn’t hesitate to adjust the schedule. It felt like he truly cared about making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Sele is also a surprisingly talented photographer. He was always eager to capture moments along the way, whether it was a stunning view or just us laughing together during a break. One photo that stood out to me was at a crest in the climb, he took a photo of us doing a jump that made it look like we were flying. The ground was completely out of frame and he captured it exactly! In fact, he was so creative that every other group there started copying our idea, leaving everyone out of breath from jumping. Thanks to him, we have some amazing photos that really capture the spirit of the climb. One of my favorite parts of the trip was the little traditions we created as a group. Sele led us in a fun call-and-response chant that became a rallying cry for our climb: Leader: “One team!” Group: “One dream!” Leader: “One dream!” Group: “One team!” Leader: “To the top!” Group: “Non-stop!” Leader: “Non-stop!” Group: “To the top!” Moments like these made the journey feel less like a grueling trek and more like a shared adventure. One time that stood out to me was when our Assistant Guide Kingu led the whole group in a beautiful song in Swahili. Singing songs, laughing, and chanting together kept morale high even during the toughest parts of the climb. If you’re considering climbing Kilimanjaro, I’d absolutely recommend having Sele as your guide. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and truly skilled at what he does. He made a difficult climb not just manageable but genuinely enjoyable.

Successful solo travel
I had a great time with Sele and company! Ever the patient, they guided us through 8-days of hiking on Kilimanjaro without a hitch. Genuinely thankful for the warmth and kindness received from our guides.

Phenomenal service - incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and accommodating
The founder of Goduru Travel is top notch. I cannot say enough about his expertise (Sele has worked in every position from porter to cook to guide). His passion for the mountain and his desire to ensure his groups have an unforgettable experience is evident. My group chose the 8 day Lemosho route because it offers the highest summit success rate due to adequate acclimatization time, a two-day descent (helpful for anyone with knee issues), and we got to experience more of Kili's magic. Sele was with us every step of the way, from the starting gate to Uhuru Peak and back. He was an absolute joy as a guide, answering our questions about the topography and animal/plant life, teaching us some Swahili phrases and songs, and ensuring that everyone was safe. I cannot say enough about how warm and encouraging everyone was. Our crew's positive attitude worked to keep my group's spirits and confidence high. We definitely attribute our summit success to our wonderful porters, cooks, and guides. This experience is one that will stay with me for a lifetime. Tips & lessons learned: I would highly recommend booking the private toilet. Use bug spray for the first couple days of the trek - the ants in the rainforest are no joke. Invest in solid waterproof items (one member of our group had waterproof socks, and we were all envious). For the summit climb, think about gloves that are not only warm but will stop the wind, particularly if you plan to use hiking poles. While the drinking water provided for the duration of the trek is said to be safe, out of the abundance of caution, you may consider using your own filter bottle and/or treating the water yourself as well.

10/10 experience. Highly recommend using Goduru for Killi!
Goduru Travel was exceptional from beginning to end. The entire team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and care, making sure we were supported every step of the way. Everything from the meals / safety / support when hiking / medical checkups were top notch - always felt extremely supported and positive that we overcome any challenges towards successful summit which we did. We had regular medical checkups and the team kept a close eye on our hydration to give us peace of mind. There was healthy communication throughout the whole trip both when hiking and at camp making me feel comfortable at all times. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through this adventure. Their kindness, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate our needs made the journey enjoyable and safe. I would consider the team at Goduru lifelong friends! 10/10.
