- Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Via Rongai Route 7 Days
My wife and I and two friends recently returned from a private Kili climb with the Great Lake Expedition Company. I can unreservedly say, having observed the other companies on the mountain, that the Great Lake Expedition team supporting us was second to none in professionalism, experience, friendliness and overall quality. We did the 7 day Rongai route (2 nights at Mawenzi Tarn for acclimatisation) which was incredibly beautiful. I understand from talking to the guides that this route is easier on the first days but harder on the summit day to Gillman's Point compared to one of the routes on the other side of the mountain such as the Machame route that summit via Stella point. We all experienced effects of the altitude (some short term memory issues from 4000m and nausea on the summit climb) but took Diamox so no actual altitude sickness. One of our friends is a severe asthmatic but with doctor approval, some extra drugs and the professional support of our chief guide Saidy and assistant guide Tom, she made it to the top successfully. Saidy made sure the walking pace was appropriate and frequent rest stops were provided to ensure that she didn't lose her breath and could summit safely without the need for oxygen. Yes it hurt and she had to work so much harder than the rest of us but she always felt safe and confident in Saidy's judgment. The small differentials that make Great Lake Expedition stand out were the top treatment of their porters (all wearing appropriate footwear/clothing and not overloaded), the focus on hygiene and the little things (cup of tea in bed every morning and tea at the top of gillman's, wonderful conversations with the guides etc...). We won't forget our cook who stayed up until we left at midnight for the summit climb then walked the first part singing to us to send us on our way.
- 7 Days – Rongai Route
We did the 7 day trekking tour with Samora Explorers on the Rongai Route in April 2023. The Samora Team did an incredible job on the whole journey. We had so much fun and experienced an unforgettable adventure. Also, the guides bring a lot of interesting facts about the flora and fauna at the Mt. Kilimanjaro. Always good communication on and beside the trekking tour. From picking up at the airport, over the daily briefing till to the drop-off at the airport again. Highly recommended!
