    After going on an amazing safari with Absolute Africa in 2015, I booked the Kilimanjaro trek in/for October 2020 with Absolute Africa again. It was a wonderful experience which I can highly recommend!! The booking process, pre-departure organization and the briefing with Samson in Moshi for my 8-day-Lemosho trek were brilliant. I went with a team of 7 locals (5 porters, 1 cook and my guide William). The team is doing an outstanding job! They do everything to make you feel comfortable and are very warm-hearted people. Absolute Africa hires locals and says that they pay fair wages to the staff which I think is very important. Food was always veeery delicious (thanks Eduardo). William explained a lot about Kilimanjaro, the vegetation & history along the way and checked my oxygen/heart rate every day. For the summit night he gave me all the mental support I needed, so I fulfilled my dream and reached the summit and the roof of Africa. Due to Corona, there are just very few climbers at the moment (which was good for me but very bad for the local tourist industry). Again, I can highly recommend Absolute Africa and climbing Kilimanjaro.

    The Kikimanjaro climb was great the dream team from Kili Bound were fantastic and the food was out standing and the whole team were happy and helpful Leonard and Aggray the guides were outstanding. The only down side was that due to the small group i.e only us 3 the tips that were recomended by you were way out and we added 100 bucks each to what was suggested and was still too little but all we had. Also it would have been helpful if we had some small notes in the local currency for tips as the smallest note i had was10 dollar notes and the staff at the hotel did not understand about giving change. Well the 4 day safari was at best 2 days and as an add on i would not recommend it. if you are going to do a safari, go for a dedicated run safari. if the itinerary was clearer i would have booked better return flights as were left waiting around a day in Arusha camp to fly home. At the start of our safari after being picked up from our hotel and then abandand 2 hours later in Arusha and left waiting for 6 hours for the rest of the tour to come from Kenya, then a night in camp and a 7 hour drive to the serengeti the next day 2 days to do what could have been done in 1, then a morning game drive,then in the afternoon a drive to the camp in Ngorongoro crater for a morning game drive and the afternoon driving back to Arusha camp so all in all 2 game drives. if the itinerary was clearer our expectation would not have been so high, on a plus note the staff and drivers were all happy and helpful full marks to the.

    Greetings, Anyone interested in challenging themselves with a picturesque climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro should strongly consider contacting Natasja and David at Absolute Africa as they were professional, prompt, friendly and courteous in helping me book my trip with them as well as deal with any issues on which I required their input. Moreover, my team of six, lead by my guide, William, were friendly and always helpful in getting me whatever I needed to make it to the summit, well before sunrise, on July 8th, 2015. It was a fantastic trip, well organized and with plenty of information and food on the mountain! My equipment and the gear provided were fine and again, the service was excellent! I highly recommend the team at Absolute Africa as a reasonably priced operator for trips up the mountain. Thanks to everyone there! Sean
