My Kilimanjaro experience was excellent…

My Kilimanjaro experience was excellent – from the initial booking process with Nikki through to the final farewell song!

My support team were all great guys very ably led by the ever funny Rodger. He was a top guide, constantly monitoring my progress and adapting the pace to ensure that I did not get AMS (I was constantly trying to walk faster and he was always slowing me down!)

Food was good although way too much! Could have easily been reduced by half!

The hike itself was great and I had no health or physical issues, thanks once again to Rodger!

Great job by all in Pretoria and Moshe!

Thanks and well done!

Enjoyed every part of the experience

Enjoyed every part of the experience. The trip was very well coordinated and the CK team kept me up to date throughout my booking process and let me know in time when changes happened. The climbing crew was great and very friendly, and made the journey on the mountain very pleasurable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to challenge themselves with the summit.

Climbing Kilimanjaro you rock

A huge thank you to Climbing Kilimanjaro for a fantastic trip, from the flights, hotel accommodation and to the lead guide John Matiko and his awesome team on the mountain. Their proficiency in running a military style operation where everything was well run and organised was amazing. We were well fed, well informed, there was no guess work as to what to expect the following day, or what was expected of us. We had a trip of a lifetime with lots of laughter and memories. I'll definitely recommend Climbing Kilimanjaro for their patience in answering all my pre trip questions, to assisting in organising gear hire in Kilimanjaro, and in helping when the airline decided to cancel our flight. A huge thumbs up. Debbie le Roux
