Moshi Active and outdoor Trips

Climbing Kilimanjaro has been a personal goal of mine since I was a kid, yet I had no idea what it required or would be like. In our short 8-days together, the seven guests and 28-people on the support team became a true family that provided the care, support, and safety for a successful summit of Kilimanjaro. Of particular note are the additional four people who joined Adolph, Moses, and George to ensure each of us made it to the top and back. My heart will always remember their efforts to motivate us, step after step, to carry our knapsacks the final distance, and to provide an arm of support as we descended the mountain. THANK YOU!

The experience was fantastic; once in a lifetime. I was constantly impressed by the Kilimanjaro staff who acted with genuine concern and commitment to make sure each and every one of the hikers had their best chance of successfully reaching the summit. I was impressed daily by the skill, care and attention to detail by Iddy, his assistant guides, the g-warriors and g-fighters. They are an amazing team of people who work sooooooo hard to help others achieve their goals and dreams. I am grateful to have shared my journey to Kilimanjaro with this amazing team of people who knew exactly when and how to motivate us to keep going, either with joyful singing, a hot drink,, a well timed break and encouraging words. One team! One dream!

My husband and I have just completed the Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Trek and don't believe our experience could have been bettered. We were initially concerned that we were the only two people booked for this week with Explore and would miss out on the group experience. We really didn't feel this way. We were supported on the climb by our wonderful guides Julius and Eli and also by the fabulous team of Porters. So humbling to recognise their efforts and strength in managing all of the equipment and logistics. They also cooked us incredible meals with humour, smiles and even songs. The trek, terrain and altitude were a challenge for us and we could probably have benefitted from being some years younger! But we always knew we were completely safe and cared for with incredible attention. Great trip, many memories, thank you.

I would like the chance to mention all the 6 CEOs on the Kilimanjaro hike: Iddy, Freddy, Clement, Paulo, Walter, Raphael, additionally the chefs, and the 30 others (Ismail, Ali, and the "toilet engineer" team they called themselves etc). The entire team went over and beyond for us, they got us singing when we needed, they had everything ready for us when we got to our locations, they kept us healthy and safe, they really made us feel, comfortable, happy, and extremely safe and all with a smile on their face even though their tasks were much harder than ours. They made our entire trip so unforgettable and I will forever be grateful to them and will miss their presence keeping all the vibes alive all day everyday for us. It was because of them that the trip and the hike was that much more amazing!! They were the most incredible group of people and no words would be able to properly express the joy and easethey added to the trip! Amazing team! Amazing people!!!

I cant say enough positive things about G Adventures and the level of care and attention we received on Kilimanjaro. Climbing the highest mountain in Africa was always going to be an amazing experience but it was made exceptional by the team who accompanied us. Every one of them acted with professionalism and enthusiasm throughout the entire 8 days. I have to give special credit to the Assistant CEO Paulo who loaned me his sunglasses for the entire trip after I lost mine on Day 1! Truly he went above and beyond for my comfort and I am so so grateful.

The actual trip and guides were very good. Our lead guide appeared very quiet and didn’t join us for meals and was a bit allusive, but as a knowledgeable, experienced, competent guide excellent. Explore as a company I will not be using again or recommending, as very slow to reply to questions and limited kit list information and no training schedule for such a massive endeavour, which other companies provide as a matter of course. When asked, was told they are just an agent and there is plenty of information on the internet regarding that. Not helpful at all. However, staff in Tanzania were very curious, friendly and helpful. Actual Experience in Tanzania and group amazing. Group also discussed that it would’ve been good to have been able to discuss things with each other before the trip started . Explore said this was not possible to set up a WhatsApp group and just dismissed it
