    I made it to the roof of Africa with Great Lake Expedition via the 6-day Marangu Route, and I can't recommend them enough. Safety was a top priority, which gave me the confidence to complete the trek. Head guide Muntari was absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable, and the whole team of support crew were incredible. The porters are actual superheroes and made our stay on the mountain as comfortable as possible. We were also extremely well fed. Followed it up with a 3-day safari in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP - all fantastic, our safari guide Robert was full of information and also very funny. Highly recommend Great Lake Expedition if you're visiting northern Tanzania.

    We had an amazing experience with Great Lake Expedition for our Kilimanjaro trek. From planning the trip to reaching the summit we were so impressed with all the staff members at Great Lake Expedition. We always received prompt and helpful replies while booking, and once we landed in Tanzania the pre-climb transportation and gear-check was seamless. Our group's crew was wonderful, including Muntari, Robert, and Jack Rasta as guides. Food was great, equipment and camps excellent, and we felt highly supported the whole way. Would highly recommend Great Lake Expedition to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro!

    This was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and I couldn't have made it to Uhuru Peak without the amazing support of the Great Lake Expedition crew. It takes an incredible amount of work to make this as successful as it can be, and the team always knew what we needed. The food was great, we rented some supplies, and they were of very good quality. The staff at the salinero hotel were very accommodating. Highly recommend this company."

    I could not have been better looked after. Great Lake Expedition took great care of me from the moment that I booked until well after I summited. A wonderful and professional outfit they are. Without their care and attention I doubt if I would have successful in reaching Uhuru Peak. Thanking you all again.
