My trip was awesome! I trekked Mt. Kilimanjaro and what an experience! Everyday it either rained--drops as big as dinner plates--snowed, hailed, ice storm--the night we made it to the summit--the wind blew and generally we had cold weather, but I made it to the summit! That is what my goal was and the weather wasn't going to stop me. The guides were exceptional--Ronald. He told me he would get me to the summit and he did! The support staff were wonderful and the cook--excellent! He even had a cake for me at the end of the trek. It was a perfect trip--memories for a lifetime. Thanks to Meagan for all the planning she did to make my trip exceptional.

Client Testimonials
Barbara, Trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro
We got back from our Africa trip about a week ago and are still basking in the glow of a wonderful trip! The excursion to Tanzania that you arranged for us went off without a hitch and everything was phenomenal. So, we just want to say thanks again for working with us through the whole process. It was truly everything we expected and a whole lot more!
