    Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is no easy feat, but with Great Lake Expedition by my side, I felt confident and capable every step of the way. The breathtaking views and sense of accomplishment at the summit made the journey more than worth it. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to conquer this iconic mountain

    We had an awesome time with Great Lake Expedition in Moshi, Tanzania! Me and my wife did the Machame Route up to the top of Kilimanjaro, highest point in Africa and it will be one of my best memories of life. Most because of the fantastic group of hikers, porters and the best of all: the guides. If you plan to go there ask for Ariko, Muntari and Robert to be your guides and the lovely Juma that served us all meals during these days and they all spread happiness and you felt really secure with them. After Kilimanjaro we went on a two day Safari, there we had with us two persons from the hiking group. We had the pleasure to be guided by Our guide that showed us a lot of animals like lion, elephants, giraffe and many more. The hotels we stayed at both in Moshi and by the Safari were amazing and we fully enjoyed them. I have nothing to complain about during the whole vacation, everything went really good from we boarded the plane (Ethiopian Airlines) in Sweden until we rich Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania.

    Our guides from Great Lake Expedition were phenomenal. They were knowledgeable, encouraging, and always ensured our safety. The porters and cooks were equally amazing, providing delicious meals and carrying our gear with a smile.

    Hiking mount Kilimanjaro is not easy but Great Lake Expedition made simply easy . The equipment and tents were of high quality, the guides and crew took utmost care of our health and ensured we submitted safely. They measured our oxygen level twice a day to make sure we are fit .Thank you Great Lake Expedition for enabling me to share a wonderful moment of my daughter's 21 birthday on Kilimanjaro Happy Trails, Alex Thompson

    Great Lake Expedition over delivered. My boyfriend and I just finished the 7-day machame route climb. We did a lot of research before signing up and Great Lake Expedition had good reviews, and seemed to check the boxes all around. Having completed the hike now, I can confidently say that choose Great Lake Expedition was the best decision we made for ourselves. The team was AMAZING. They went above and beyond to cater to our every need. They were incredibly attentive (helping with shoes, checking tents, thorough briefings and medical checks, help with adjustments or carrying items, etc.). A number a little surprise and delight moments (treats, songs, cakes, bunny heating pads, tea breaks, medals annd sparking wine upon finishing, etc.) and the best tent spots around. They made sure we were as comfortable as possible every step of the way. Before leaving they checked to make sure we had all the essentials and were well equipped to stay warm, dry and clean(ish) The team of porters seemed genuinely happy - singing, dancing and teaching us their way. They’re truely amazing. The communication and comfort right from the airport pickup to the transfer to our safari was amazing. All staff were kind and helpful. We also had 24/7 access (data/wifi permitting) to a customer service representative on WhatsApp who provided recommendations and answered all our questions. If you’re thinking of climbing Kili and are trying to figure out who to go with, look no further. I don’t think anyone could do it better.

    The trip was superb from start to finish! Well organised , guides were just THE BEST. We had never attempted a mountain climb like this - and the constant support and encouragement was great - right up to the summit! Never thought that at 69 we would succeed - but we have the certificates to prove it !
