- AIan· February 13th, 2023The highlight has to be actually getting to the top of the bloody mountain, another bucket list item ticked off!Trip date: February 2023Review collected by Explore!
- APaul· July 10th, 2023Highlight was undoubtedly the crew. We had 15 people supporting 4 of us - 2 guides, cook, camp manager, waiter, tent manager, toilet manager, porters, etc. they were a fantastic group with whom we struck up good relationships. We cannot speak highly enough of Moussa and his team. They got us to the top, but provided a real Tanzanian experience as wellShow moreTrip date: June 2023Review collected by Explore!

- AMike· December 23rd, 2019I was very happy with the trip as a whole. Explore were 4, and the local company, Ahsante, were 5. The guides were very committed to getting us to the summit and their advice, and slow pace of walking really helped. My one concern is for the future of the mountain. The camps were quite poor from the point of view of litter, and very poor state of the toilets. I think they were so bad that a lot of people just user the edge of camp. Some investment from the Tanzanians, to improve toilets and better manage the campsites would pay dividends I think.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review and comments, we'll follow up and ensure we do our bit to protect the camps and trails for future trekkers.Trip date: September 2019Review collected by Explore!
