We just hiked the Kilimanjaro and it was certainly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives!
We were so fortunate to go with Gasper and his team as a Guide. Not only was the level of professionalism amazing, but also the kindness and comfort his team gave us at any point!
Therefore we can only highly recommend this trip and ask for Gasper and Eddy as your guides!
You certainly won’t regret. :)
A bucket list trip, largely helped and organised by Monkey Adventures and their amazing group of employees and guides.
3 friends and I (2 travelling from Australia, 2 from Europe) went to Tanzania on a whirlwind trip, 12 days in one of the most amazingly diverse countries in the world.
Leah who we emailed with helped every step of the way with our questions, changing schedules of safari/hike requests, accomodation and transfers options, and fluid payments options, which all happened very last minute, and considering we were organising and paying from opposite sides of the world she helped massively, thanks a lot Leah!!
We did a 2 day Safari to Tarangire/ Ngorongoro crater national parks with our excellent guide Kissali, Kissali was super knowledgeable about the landside we drove past before the parks, stopped by a Maasai tribe to show us how they lived, and gave us an amazing personal tour through 2 breathtaking national parks, with just 4 of us the large Landcruiser 4x4 it gave us all un obstructed views of everything we saw, and we pretty much saw every animal possible, Kissali has eyesight like an eagle and was helpful with all of our requests! The food along the safari was amazing, particularly the buffet dinner at the lodge.
Now the hike, Mt Kilimanjaro was why we planned this trip, we met our world class guides Rama and Mohamed the morning of the first day in Moshi, absolute legends and by the end of the hike like ours brothers, they checked our gear, we then rented some further items, there was a great selection from the rental store, and then started towards the mountain, we traveled with some of our other crew, notably the ever smiling champ/waiter Yunusu and Chef extraordinaire Christian, who joked with us and answered some of our nervous questions and kept the mood high, this was the biggest plus for our group, we are 4 x 30 year old men who like to have fun on our adventures, even ones as serious as this, and led by Rama and Mohamed our vibes/mood were always the best, from the first day where we were overconfident and going too fast, to the morning of the summit when we were all anxious, they kept our minds strong to the task, while answering all of our questions, laughing together over dumb jokes, educating us about life in tanzania and the mountain. Our biggest thanks again to Rama and Mohamed, and the whole crew of superstar porters, they were truly a large part of our unforgettable Tanzanian experience, a large part of our success climbing the mountain and part of memories and stories we will have and tell forever!!
