"The equipment, food, and schedule were top-notch! I would recommend this company to beginners and experienced climbers alike-a once-of-a-lifetime experience!"-JH, USA
"One reason I chose Mountain Kings Tours was its high summiting success rate. Our guides knew just what we needed to do to get to the top. It wasn't easy, but it was WORTH IT!!!!" -SB, UK
"The Maasai warriors intrigued me! I had heard about them drinking the blood of cows and killing lions barehanded and
had to find out if that was true. What I did find amazed me" RA
"I cannot look at my own community in the same way since gaining a comparison with the impoverished yet cheerful
people I met while in Tanzania. They work so hard and take nothing for granted and make no excuses. This has added new understanding and perspective to my own life. I also made friends that I will always feel close to."-JR-UK
"John literally saved my life. I was climbing with an American travel company that did not know how to handle my failure to acclimatize on Kili. Thank God John was also climbing and took over my care. I will always be grateful." G.Armstrong,NY, USA

Tour Coordinator & Founder of Cult
Tanzania can be seen from the window of a
Land Rover, from a light aircraft crossing the
plains of the Serengeti, or from the towering
summit of snow-capped MT. Kilimanjaro.
"However, to truly appreciate Tanzania, your visit
should include interaction with its people."
Many travelers now are combining their sense of adventure with curiosity about other cultures-and we all win in the end! According to Greg Mortenson
(Three Cups of Tea), education is the best way to fight international strife; understanding others' cultures is not only fascinating, but is the surest way to global peace.
The travel fees paid by the visitor will be shared by Mr. Ngowi and the participant Maasai and Meru groups.
A note from the Director:
"Jambo! My name is John Mafala Mtui,and I will devote myself to making this the most exciting adventure of your life!"
