Some of the friendliest, most helpful people you will ever meet. More

ClimbKili is a great company to do your Kilimanjaro climb and also for safaris. I did a climb with them back in Dec 2011 taking the 8 day Lemosho route.

Surely the most exhausting and tiring hike I ever made, but it was worthwhile every step! Pole pole! I did the 5 days tour because short of time but it is worthwhile to do it in 7 days, with acclimation days and off the "coca cola route" which is vers busy. Still, the 5 days were wondful! More
