It was one of the best experiences of my life! Hiking Kilimanjaro was unbelievably beautiful, with ever changing scenery. The G Adventures support crew felt like our extended family. They went above & beyond for us, were friendly & funny, kept an eye out for us when the hiking got tough, and sang us all the way to the top of Kilimanjaro. I cannot thank them enough for making this experience. I would highly recommend the hike & G Adventures to anyone!
