What our clients say…

I have nothing but positive comments to make about the entire arrangement. Our connections and transfers went smoothly from beginning to end and our mountain crew were very professional and a pleasure to tour with. I’m proud to say both my 17-year-old son and I made it to the top of Kilimanjaro!

It was a perfect organised trip. The accommodation in Moshi was very nice. The service on the hike was nearly too much but well appreciated. Compared to all the others we were by far the best looked after.

Our trip was incredible! Everything went just as planned, we had a wonderful, knowledgeable guide and excellent support team. It was an adventure none of us will ever forget. I will be recommending your services to others who express interest in climbing.

We had an awesome experience. You have an excellent team in Tanzania who looked after us from the word go and at the end you realise that without a team that is truly experienced and well equipped you will have very little chance of success. T

I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and Jako for a great experience and the professional service provided by your company both in SA and Tanzania. Everything was taken care of efficiently in Moshi and our team for the ascent was superb. Gavin S.

The trip was absolutely amazing. The staff was very courteous and well trained. The food was great and I couldn’t have asked for more. We reached the top of Uhuru peak and had a blast. To be honest, I wouldn’t change a thing. I felt very well taken care of. Thank you once again.
