Erastus and Mafie adventures were a fantastic company to organise our trip to Kilimanjaro.
We chose the 8 days Lemosho route, and from the very beginning Erastus was super comprehensive and was able to answer all our questions about the trip. When we arrived in Tanzania, Erastus picked us up at the airport and organised very well all the remaining of the trip. Oliver and John were our two guides, and they were fantastic and supportive throughout all the journey. They started meticolously to check all our equipment the day before the start, and throughout the whole climb they have been terrific with countless tips, funny stories, and a superb knowledge about the mountain. We managed to reach the Summit without much of a problem thanks to our guides and the way they prepared and supported us throughout the whole journey. Especially on Summit night, when we were close to give up a couple of times, Oliver and John pushed us through constantly until we finally made it to the top. It was a magical experience, and we are really thankful to Erastus and the whole crew to be such a organised, well prepared and fun company to work with.
Oh and if you are wondering how the crew is treated and especially porters: mafie adventures tend to go more or less always with the same people, all of the people are treated more than fairly and it felt like we were part of a family who have been working together for a long time.
Thank you so much for everything Erastus, see you on the next mountain to climb!
