In December 2015, my wife and I came to Tanzania for our honeymoon, and to climb Kilimanjaro. From the moment we landed in Arusha we had consistently excellent service. Dennis, who had arranged everything for us was exceedingly generous with his time and seemed to understand exactly how we wanted to experience Kilimanjaro.
The entire team that supported our climb were efficient in their duties. Each member took great pride in making our time on Kili as memorable and comfortable as possible. We felt as though each of the crew were our family, positive and extremely hardworking. We ate like kings on the mountain; nothing outlandish, but beautifully prepared, delicious meals that lifted our spirits and our bodies.
Our guides were tremendous, they engaged us with information about the surrounding ecosystem and terrain, knowing when to allow us to wander and take photographs and always thoroughly answering our questions. We felt safe and supported throughout the trek. On the way down my wife suffered from mountain sickness and was in tough shape. The entire team came together to move her down quickly and safely to receive the appropriate care, and she quickly recovered. She was treated with the care of a family member.
We wanted our trek on Kilimanjaro to be the experience of a lifetime and it certain was thanks to Dennis, our guides and our support crew. We are planning to return for more adventures in Tanzania and will be asking Kwetu Tanzania Eco-tourism & Safaris to take care of us once again.
