Wonderful experience
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!

10/10 once-in-a-lifetime experience
1. Surprisingly easy to book and arrange everything. Basically you pick any route at any date, and it all can be arranged. We had to change the dates just two weeks before the start and the company was totally cool about it. Moreover, the couple who was supposed to climb with us cancelled just several days before the start - and we still managed to do the tour, just the two of us, with no change of the price.
2. The price really does include everything except for the tips and gear rental - no hidden expenses
3. The team of guides, porters and chefs were just amazing, very professional, helpful and friendly. Highly recommend climbing with Joshua and Patrick, two great pros with over 15 years of experience. Also special thanks to Charlie who was always staying in touch ready to answer all the questions during the preparation period.
4. I was a bit surprised when no one asked us about our hiking experience or health conditions before booking. Also our gear was not checked before the start which I guess would be better to do just to be on a safe side. Medical reports during the hike are also not very comprehensive, so up there you can rely only on your guides' professionalism and experience.
5. As for the tips. At first we were advised 10% but the figures recommended by professional unions and associations are quite different so we ended up with 25%. Absolutely deserved!
6. If you're not professional climbers or athletes I would personally recommend you to do as many days as possible. We did a 7-day Lemosho route and I wish we did 8 days. We reached the summit anyway but the headache was just impossible.
7. Karanga river lodge in Moshi is absolutely beautiful, with kindest staff and best breakfasts ❤️

Very very nice
The trip has been amazing! Charlie has helped us a lot during the organization of the trip and with our questions regarding material. Moreover the guide John has made sure that everything went smooth on the mountain. There really nothing critical I can think of, everyone was very kind and professional
