Amazing experience with Nakuja Africa Adventures
First of all, let us thank the Nakuja Africa Adventures team - specially Jackson - for suggesting the Lemosho route instead of Machame! It definitely allowed a better acclimatization and made summit possible! Jackson answered all our questions and guides us very well trough the the reservation process. Our trip was amazing! Everything was well organized and we were welcomed at the Mbugani hotel by Jackson, who checked carefully our gear and made sure that we had everything we needed for the climbing. Be assured: if she says you need warmer clothes for summit night, trust him! Finally, let us thank you very much for appointing Innocent and his crew to guide and help us trough our adventure. They were amazing and cared for us like family. All the porters were amazing, food was always delicious and hot! We couldn’t be more happy about the experience we had with them
