We were all able to make the summit, and I have no doubt that it is down to them. We were make to feel like a part of the Ultimate Kilimanjaro® family from day 1, and I can’t speak highly enough about the warmth, knowledge and professionalism of the whole bunch. From your help with the bookings to our wonderful team of guides (Baraka aka Mr President, Robert, Jerome, Baraka and Justin), cooks, waiters and porters it was run like a well oiled machine. I have to say a massive thank you to the whole Ultimate Kilimanjaro® team for helping me realise my goal. They made our experience so memorable! Thank you! You will not be disappointed if you choose to climb with Ultimate Kilimanjaro®, we had done significant research into different companies and could not be happier we chose Ultimate Kilimanjaro®. Safari was awesome! Our guide Leonard was very knowledgable and found all the hidden animals! Camping in the Serengeti was great and the accommodations there were great. We loved our hotel accommodations and the staff at both hotels were also amazing! So caring and attentive and always went above and beyond. We know how hard each person works every day on the mountain to make the climbers happy and we truly loved each member of our staff and thought the world of them.Įquipment was top notch, the tents were awesome and always secure sleeping bags were very warm and sleeping mats were amazing! We also rented poles which were a “must have”, especially on summit night and descending. We know we could not have done it without the help of each one and we cannot express our gratitude enough. We loved our entire staff and truly appreciate all the work each one of them did to contribute to our success on the mountain. The porters who carried our duffel bags always came back walking on the trail to meet us and take our day packs from us towards the end of the trail, but some days they walked an hour+ to come meet us and take our day packs they were so great! This was after they had already carried our duffel bags to the site and help get the camp site all set up. Our waiter we loved too! He was a sweetheart and we got to know him a bit chatting during meal time and he was always so pleasant. Our bathroom porter was a sweet heart, he cleaned it multiple times a day some days, and always had a smile on his face. Our cook was amazing, the food was delicious, I was speechless at how he could prepare such food under the conditions on the mountain. The campsite was set up so nicely overnight, set off in a little private area at busy sites, and our private bathroom tent always close by. They were so genuine and truly caring about our well being, and most importantly got us up and down the mountain safely! Our staff always went above and beyond. Our staff on the mountain was amazing, Ezekiel and Elias, our guides were great. ![]() He was incredibly helpful with planning leading up to the trip and truly put us at ease. ![]() Shawn our booking manager answered millions of emails from me, some multiple times a day, with straight forward and good information. We really did not know what to expect, but we were blown away by the care and attention each member of the mountain staff and every Ultimate Kilimanjaro® employee we came across throughout the trip, and leading up to it. Our experience with Ultimate Kilimanjaro® completely exceeded any expectations we had going into the trip.
