Spirited Away
I cannot thank Spirit of Kilimnajro for a wonderful experience during my Lemosho route trek. I originally signed up for the 8 day trek, but with the help of my team I was able to complete it in 6 days. I am very thankful for my guide, Tuliza, who was always encouraging and uplifting me. He was also able to keep up with my speed on the mountain which not all guides are capable of doing. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the mountain and the proper pacing and techniques necessary to ensure acclimatization and well-being, especially during the challenging summit push. His encouragement and unwavering support were truly invaluable, especially when the going got tough.
One thing I can say without a doubt was that I was well fed during my entire trek thanks to my chef, Abeli. The meals prepared by the chef were amazing—delicious, varied, and exactly what was needed to fuel the body each day.
After reading many reviews online, I opted to get my own toilet during the trek. I’d like to give a very special thanks to Pandaeli for carrying the portable toilet up and down the mountain and cleaning it daily. I would highly recommend adding on your own toilet to your trek as the public toilets can be dirty and far away from camp.
The trek could not have been possible without the porters who work tirelessly, carrying equipment and setting up camp with impressive efficiency, always with a friendly demeanor. Thank you to Alihaji, Omari, Bwashe, Kagia, and Dave for their support each and every day.
Spirit of Kilimanjaro created an environment where one felt completely supported and cared for, allowing focus on the climb and achieving the goal of reaching Uhuru Peak. From the beginning, their professionalism and dedication were evident. They are highly recommended to anyone dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro. They are more than just a tour operator; they are a family who genuinely care about success and safety. Thank you, Spirit of Kilimanjaro, for the trip of a lifetime!
