What a great trip we had and have nothing but praise for this tour operator and how our Guide Lova and our driver Deva looked after us. We had so much fun with them. Accommodation and food was all good. Vehicle was good and managed those terrible roads really well. The National Parks are something and the local guides that were chosen there were excellent. We were given lots of chances to walk and explore the villages and anything of interest along the highway.

We saw everything we wanted to see. Next time I would like to experience more village life. The tour was very well set up and it was fun. We had a very good driver. Adrian he was very personal, professional, knowledgeable, organized, and a great driver.

This tour company gave us the best experience as we trekked up Kilimanjaro to the summit, followed by four days of exploration to Lake Manyra, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Our guides were all amazing and all very experienced on Kilimanjaro and safari as well. They gave us the exceptionally great service and made us feel comfortable and safe at all times.
The company had made excellent arrangements so that the trip was flawless and stress free.
Don't attempt this trip unless you know exactly what you're getting yourself into. And be aware that no matter how fit you are, altitude sickness can still strike you down. That's why you MUST use a reputable company like World Expeditions for a trek like this. My husband became ill on Day 3. Our trek leader was able to release a guide and a porter to get him back to Arusha and to hospital. I succumbed to a chest infection 5 days later and couldn't summit. Again, I was issued with a guide to get me safely to the next camp. Each of the 5 people in our group who did climb to the summit had a guide to ensure nothing went wrong. This was not the case for other tourists who attempted the climb. I heard stories of people wandering about alone at the top- disoriented and lost. Some groups didn't provide emergency oxygen. That meant their clients had to be dragged down the mountain, often barely unconscious.
Any travel company can be good when things go to plan. What's important is how they respond when things go wrong. And what they do to minimize the risk. World Expeditions could not have been more professional. If you're determined to climb Kilimanjaro, these are the guys you want to do it with.
