    We just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro with the company Great Lake Expedition and what an amazing experience it was!! This was my second time climbing and I have to say it was far better than the first all thanks to our amazing guides - Muntari and Robert! They went beyond and above to get us to the top and helped us reach our goal! I can’t forget to mention our superstar porters and incredible chef - wow what a team! If or when we climb Kilimanjaro again I would ask for Muntari and Robert to be our guides again, that’s just how incredible they were!! I can’t thank Great Lake Expedition enough for the beyond amazing excellent experience! Would recommend them to everyone and anyone who is thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro!!

    Our 5-day trek on the Marangu Route was a truly remarkable adventure, made extraordinary by the exceptional team at Great Lake Expedition. From the moment we set foot at Marangu Gate, the level of professionalism and support was outstanding. Our lead guide, Mr. Antony, demonstrated unparalleled expertise and dedication, ensuring that every member of our group was well-prepared and safe throughout the journey. His deep understanding of the Marangu Route and its unique challenges made the trek both enjoyable and manageable. The entire support team, including Mr. Emiry and the diligent porters, were true professionals. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and success on this classic Kilimanjaro route. Their tireless efforts, attention to detail, and positive attitudes transformed what could have been a grueling climb into an unforgettable adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend Great Lake Expedition to anyone looking to experience the Marangu Route with a top-notch team.
