You know that feeling of anxiousness that comes with travel to an unfamiliar country half a world away? Well, with Metamo you can just relax and enjoy what will certainly be a life-changing experience. My son and I, along with 3 close friends just returned from 11 days in Tanzania where we trekked to the summit of Kilimanjaro and still had time for a one-day safari in Tarangire National Park. Matamo’s concierge-level travel service began long before our journey, as they provide personal assistance with every level of planning including developing our itinerary, Visa application, health and insurance, training advice, travel booking, detailed packing recommendations, and much more. Metamo flawlessly handled every detail of our trip including meeting us at the airport, transporting us to our luxurious hotel, guiding us through Arusha during a day of sightseeing and souvenir shopping, transporting us to the Kilimanjaro trailhead where we were met with lunch by our very capable guides, cook, and porters; guiding us safely up and down the mountain with a level of comfort I’ve not previously experienced and with an approach likely to ensure summiting success; meeting us at the end of the trail for a very memorable celebration of our success – all five of us summited – with our entire team of guides, cook, and porters; returning us to the hotel, making last-minute arrangements for a next-day private safari in Tarangire National Park (note: I cannot recommend this highly enough as it rivals the experience of trekking Kilimanjaro); guiding and entertaining us on our last day in Arusha, and finally returning us to the airport. Metamo’s representative in Arusha, Mufasa, and Metamo’s guide on the mountain, Wilfred, took excellent care of us both in town and on the mountain. The accommodations were top notch as was the food. In fact, if your expectation is to perhaps lose a couple pounds on the trek, you can forget about it as the food is too tasty and plentiful and the guides ensure that you eat to keep up your energy. I cannot over emphasize that Metamo’s service covers every aspect of your trip – from the time you arrive until you depart, every need (and cost, including tips) is attended to. I was witness to many other trekking companies on the mountain and it is my honest opinion that no company took better care of their clients than Metamo. If you want a truly memorable, stress-free experience book your Kilimanjaro trek, safari, or both with Metamo. One last bit of advice – bring gifts, lots of gifts. You will become attached to your guides and porters and you will want to leave gifts. We all left much of our gear behind – including boots and jackets – and we wished that we had brought a large duffle full of thrift shop americana-style clothing to leave behind.
