Communicative and flexible.
I got into contact with Tilman Safaris through a website . I had a possibilty to utilize a few days in connection with a workshop I led in Embu, Kenya and I wanted to get up on Mt Kenya. Charles proved to be flexible and arranged a tour for me with short notice.
I proved to be the only paying participant but there were three staff - a guide, one cook and one porter.
The hiking was good but physically challenging for me. The guide was excellent and adapted the tempo to my ability. He gave interesting information about flora and fauna in the different elevations when we passed. The whole team gave excellent and friendly support during the whole hike.
One thing I found a bit awkward was that we did not eat the meals together - the staff set a table with table cloth and all, served me and left. That meant I ate most of the meals on my own. Not used to that.
In summary it was an excellent trip that despite bad weather resulted in a fantastic experience and many good memories thanks to the staff at Tillman Safaris.
