Amazing Kilimanjaro Trek
A truly unforgettable experience helped by the best team and tour group I could have wished for. From start to finish, the trip had me smiling all the way and it’s down to the guides (Kamrish and Edwin) and the rest of the team. Panta’s food was incredible. I also had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday on the trip and it was honestly the best birthday I’ve ever had. In the morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a fully decorated dining hall for breakfast, and in the evening, the whole team sang me happy birthday at dinner. The care everyone had during the whole trip was incredible and they really ensure you reach the summit with your health as their main priority. Highly recommended.
