Wonderful experience

5/5

Wonderful experience! The guides and the other support workers were all very professional, kind, and ready to help and support whatever our problem was! The experience was great we did the Rongai Route and we could reach the top in only 6 days without Problems! There were very few people on the Route and we felt really in Connection with nature. The Equipment was good and Food was amazing. The group was very good organised and we didn’t have any Problems. Our guides were John and Joseph and we had very good experience with them till the top!

Reliable, excellent value for money

5/5

We've done 7d lemosho between 08-14.09.

There were 5 of us (climbers) and the crew size was 23:
- 15 regular porters
- 1 tent porter
- 2 summit porters
- 1 waiter
- 1 cook
- 2 side assistant guides (Conrad & Mwana)
- 1 head guide (Isack)

The quality of rented equipment could be better. Some zippers in sleeping bags failed, but that was expected. In general it's good idea to bring as much of your own stuff as possible.
If I'd do this next time, I'd consider chip-in for chemical toilet. Public toilets were more challenging than the majority of the trek (except for summit night:D)

The food was OK, shoutouts to John!
The only time we felt little hungry was the summit night. We lacked some extra snacks and tea but it's fine.

Guides and porters did a good job. There was a fire otw to shira 2 camp and we managed to walk it around.
We didn't have troubles in communicating our daily needs.

The only uncomfortable part was the tipping ceremony.
As young adults we precisely calculated our trip budget given information from Charlie.
The information we got was that expected rate is 15% of the total cost per person. This is what we prepared, even a bit more cause we really appreciated the work of the crew.
1 hour before the ceremony we got information that there are presumably minimal rates based on the role of crew member. Taking those into account would mean 21% which is quite a big increase.

As an anti-fan of tipping in general, I assumed it was a rip-off trial, but turns out in other agencies it's the same thing. It's just not transparent, because then it's easier to manipulate the customer.
To support this claim, consider the fact that amounts you give are read out loud in front of the whole crew during the ceremony...
We ended up giving something in the middle which was seen rather unfavorably:/

I do not come from the wealthiest country in the world and I'm against such shady practices.

Very organized, supportive and helpful

5/5

The communication ran with Charlie and the tour with Isack. Charlie was able to keep the communication fast and open all the time, that was decisive.
The main guide organized a magnanimous trip, nothing left behind and with a very humane treatment.
About the money, we had to pay it in cash on the spot, and the tips are recommended to be around 20%, but in the end seemed fair for everything, so be prepared for that.

The trip per se was impeccable.

Very reliable and well organized tour

5/5

From the beginning I had a very good dialogue with Charlie. Everything we discussed was accurate and I consider him and Kili Vikings to be a very reliable company. Our flight was delayed and he adjusted the tour.

The guides: Shalala and Moana did a fantastic job and the crew was super helpful and made the trip unforgettable.

Highly recommendable.
