I hope my review will come close to doing justice to the amazing team at Climbing Kilimanjaro! Words do not seem enough for the support, authenticity, care and attention to detail the team puts into each and every climber's experience. We did the 8-day Lemosho route, summitting on Christmas morning.First, prior to the climb, our contact Brian was incredibly responsive! He answered (dozens) of questions we had, sometimes daily about how to prepare, gear, weather conditions, food, etc. We definitely felt we were going into the climb with the best possible preparation!Secondly, the communication in general. The team ensured we were picked up from airports, hotels, etc. as expected, safely transported from one place to another and always with clear expectations of what happens next (pickups, dinners, debriefs, etc.). It really brought peace of mind to know that we could depend on Climbing Kilimanjaro to deliver on all expectations and communicate clearly (whether by phone, email, text).Gear - the tents were high quality and provided ample room (we had two people in one tent and were very comfortable). CK also had the option for sleeping pads, bags, rental trekking poles, etc. - however we brought all of our own gear so did not need to rent any of the other items.Now - the trek! The team was OUTSTANDING. They are a TRUE team who is genuinely invested in ensuring the comfort and happiness of guests, but most importantly, to see a successful summit for all guests. From our amazing guides (lead guide Isack; Salem, Joseph and Abde), to our 'do it all' guys (servers Jay and Kareem who not only kept us full of snacks and tea along the way, but also helped carry packs on summit day only to turn around and serve us an amazing lunch!), to the chefs (stomach engineers!) who - and I am serious - delivered meal after meal of amazing and diverse food (literally the best soups I have ever had to start every meal), to the huge team of porters who worked their tails off (thank you Aleefa!) to ensure our tents were always set up and belongings safely transported, our meal tent was ready with chairs and tables, and our private toilets (the best thing ever!) were set up and ready for use. I truly feel the whole team went above and beyond at every turn to 1) encourage hikers, 2) provide a top-notch experience and 3) do all they could to help climbers reach the summit.I was beyond pleased with every detail of the Climbing Kilimanjaro experience! I truly feel like it is a bargain...I honestly would've paid double for the experience we received. I am so grateful for the team that helped us to a successful summit - would highly recommend to anyone that is considering conquering Kili!
