Great experience with the great company and crew
Me and a friend did the 7 day Machame Route in mid-July 2021. It was a private tour, as we were the only clients, along with the 12 people in the crew (porters, chef, waiter, guide, 2nd guide and the "pilot" carrying the portable toilet). It was the most amazing experience! And we are very grateful for the crew for taking us up on the mountain.
We chose a mid-range company, to ensure that we did not get bland/basic food and cheap mattresses. By choosing a mid-range option, we knew we would get a good experience.
After some research, and talking to different companies, we chose Great Lake Expedition, as they are a part of the KPAP (Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project), meaning that they will ensure a decent pay to the porters. Many low-budget companies will cut the wages for the porters to give you a cheaper price!
The communication with the office was very good, and Damsoni answered all of my many (and sometimes weird) questions. This made us feel very much sure that we would have a good experience with the company.
The hotel we stayed at before/after the climb was close to the office, and was really nice. A great pool (which we relaxed by the day after the climb), the food was tasty, and the rooftop was a nice place to take in the view over Moshi and listen to some music.
Our guides (Saidy and Elias) were a good mix of serious and funny, and we had a lot of good talks on the trails! The crew was really nice - but due to Covid-19 protocol, we didn't mingle as much as you would usually do on the trips. We has a good dialogue with the guides, and would discuss how to proceed.
The food was so tasty and plentiful! Thanx to the chef and Shabani, our friend and waiter!
We made it all the way to the top, and the view was amazing! Thank you again for making it possible :)
We would definitely recommend climbing Kilimanjaro with Great Lake Expedition - and we have already recommended them to our friends

Amazing team of Safari experts
It looks complicated travelling during this time, but we are very thankful to African Wanderlust Adventures team for making our Kilimanjaro Trek and Tanzania Safaris all possible and a lifetime experience. I live and work in Tanzania, but my husband is in UK. We were recommended by one of our family friend who enjoyed a family Safari with African Wanderlust Adventures prior the pandemic.
Robert was always fast in accommodating our requests with enough details. Before the Trek we were briefed and checked if we had all required trekking equipments. Supported with an amazing team, a cook and wonderful Guide both during Trek and Safari.
Am very thankful to the entire team who made it all possible, stay safe.

Saw 4 out of the 5 big five here. Had an amazing balloon ride over the Maasai. Incredible time.

This was by far the greatest trip I have ever experience. Seeing these animals in person, staying at the lodges Bonfire paired me with, and having a great experience with our driver Tony was everything. Thank you for making my dream Africa trip happen!

Exceptionally knowledgeable, well prepared and helpful.
Richard and EOS facilitated our arrival, reception, lodging and the safari in a professional and friendly manner throughout… even during COVID. The safari was EXCELLENT as our driver knew the most likely areas to observe the Big Five and other wildlife. He made himself available via email, phone and WhatsApp. Great service, highest endorsement!!

Amazing, the guy we got explained to us everything we asked in detail !!
Lulu Safaris were to me very organized, communicated promptly. We got a clean car with a driver who listened to us and understood us I believe, he stopped for a few minutes every time we asked when there was something interesting to look at.
The trip was worth it, and very good value for money. 'The true Ugandan tourism experience is well done by Lulu safaris!!!
