Edwin was extremely helpful, responsive and attentive to the needs of our group. He made excellent accommodations with very thoughtful added extras that really made the trip especially nice and enjoyable for all those involved. Taste of Kilimanjaro has some of the most expert guides we could’ve hoped for. Up the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro our guide paid expert attention to us and was extremely supportive and good natured. The summit guide had exceptional experience, having summited over 400 times and knew exactly how to guide and motivate us to be our best and reach the top! The summit guide was basically mayor of the mountain, he had traveled so many times he knew every other guide, porter and chef and knew every nook and cranny of the mountain. Our safari guide was equally exceptional. With over 12 years of experience he knew every national park in Tanzania like the back of his hand. These parks are massive, consisting of dirt roads with little signage and he navigated them without hesitation. The safari guide was extremely familiar with the areas of the park, knowing the movement and territories of the animals and he used his expertise to show us all of The Big Five in only 3 days (plus a Cheetah)! Our safari guide was always one step ahead of all the other drivers in the park, knowing exactly the movement patterns of the animals to get is a front row seat to the action, we often found other drivers just following our Land Cruiser in hopes of seeing what we were seeing.
