I went on the Lemosho Traverse of Kilimanjaro and the trip was led by Intrepid Travel (8 guests total in our group).
I am writing this well-deserved review, but there will never be enough that can be said about how incredible our guides, our porters, our cooks, and just everybody on our team, was on this trip.
They did the inconceivably difficult task of leading us up of the mountain, and not only this, they supported those who elected not to summit with love, empathy, and endless care to make sure that they too had an experience that was to their liking. So to say that they went above and beyond in the is truly the understatement of all understatements.
The way they took care of us all along the way, making sure we had the most comfortable, enjoyable, and safe experience in the face of a mountain like this one is nothing short of heroic. Myself and the others who chose to summit would have had zero chance of making it to the top had it not been for this team, and not only of summiting, but of summiting and having a ton of fun and learning so much along the way.
Most importantly, everyone on the team made sure to form true bonds with us and to make sure we were treated like family at the end of every increasingly difficult leg of the trek when we were in need of TLC.
They didn’t want us to just summit, they actually wanted us to have an experience we would never want to forget, and they did everything they could and then some to make sure that happened, and they succeeded.
If you are planning to head up Kilimanjaro, I would highly highly highly highly recommend booking a trek up with Intrepid. They are simply a group that, if you have the opportunity to have them by your side on your adventures, you do not pass it up.
