My husband and I summited Kilimanjaro's peak on 16 Feb 2023 with Uprise Africa. Thanks to the terrific team of guides, cook and porters the experience was fantastic of every aspect, well organized, safe and with very positive mood all along the way!
We especially appreciated the experience of our 2 guides Kissima and Sanga, their friendliness, their good mood and humor, their flexibility to adjust the program according to our needs and abilities (as we are both experienced mountaineers), the daily health check-ups and the knowledge they shared with us about the mountain its geology, the flora and fauna. In this way not only we made it to the summit easy and cool but we also learned a lot about Kilimanjaro and the whole experience was very interesting.
Food was always delicious and abundant (more than we could eat) and adapted with care to my special eating needs by our wonderful cook Remmy who made magic 3 times per day in his little cooking tent. Our heroic porters made sure everything was in place when we arrived at each camp (tents, cooking and toilet tent) and gave us plenty of smiles and wonderful moments of motivational singing and dancing before and after our daily effort :))
Climbing Uhuru Peak via Lemosho Route with the Uprise team was pure fun and one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Highly recommended
We continued with climbing Oldonyo Lengai and with a 6-day safari organized and tailor made for us by Uprise Africa. Again the experience was very positive; our safari driver-guide was knowledgeable, motivated, helpful, tireless and one of the kindest people ever!
Asante sana Uprise Africa !
