Customer reviews & ratings
Overall, I had an amazing experience and if given the chance, I would do it all over again. The CEOs, porters were such a big part climbing Kilimanjaro on bucket list. They kept me motivated, hydrated, well fed, and most importantly ensure my safety. I've been to over 66 countries and this will easily be in the top 5 of my favorites. It was truly an unforgettable experience. The easiness of the trip! I've been traveling with G for over a decade. All I have to do I enter a destination and everything that I look for in a trip correlates with everything that I mostly look for in a trip. It doesn't get any easier than that. Everything is explained in detail.
Jesse Oct, 2024 VerifiedI have had the most memorable trip of my life and I owe it all to the incredible CEO, guides and porters from G adventures that looked after me so well on Kilimanjaro. Special shout out to Clemence Mvungi, Godlisten, Ernest, Paul, DJ (give the man a record deal!), Robin, Alex, and EVERYONE! And of course the main man (CEO) with the million dollar smile, Adolf. The atmosphere, the fun, the food, the singing - the Tanzanian people know how to have a good time and make sleeping in a tent seem like 5 star luxury. The cups of coffee to our tent before we even got up was honestly one of nicest things. The guides and porters went above and beyond their call of duty and I would trust them with my life. Their fitness and work ethic is like nothing I?ve ever witnessed before. I miss them all so much and can?t thank them enough. I will forever consider them as family and friends and they will always hold a special place in my heart. Asante sana xx G adventures take all the hassle and stress out of booking a trip and I always feel safe and confident any time I book an adventure with them. They are highly professional and go above and beyond to make sure their clients have a trip of a lifetime!
