Climbing Kilimanjaro

I just thought I’d let you know that the Kilimanjaro trek was fantastic!  It was everything we had hoped for, and more.

Our two guides, Azizi and Kibacha, were excellent.  They ran their team very efficiently, helped us in any way they could, and were professional throughout.

The food that Paul and his team prepared was far beyond expectations.  We are all vegetarians and so we were unsure of what we would be served.  However, we had no reason to fear at all as the food was absolutely fantastic, plentiful and always at a perfect temperature to suit the day.  Paul deserves a medal for being able to prepare the menu he did on that stainless steel tray on his lap!

The porters were all hard-working, patient and ever-ready with a smile.  Lots of fun to be around.

All four of us acclimatized fairly well during the first five days and headed off for the summit full of energy.  How tough was the summit day?!!  None of us have ever done anything so exhausting, and we’ve conquered a few challenges in our time.  But it was well worth the effort to see the sunrise from the summit ridge.

Overall it was an absolutely wonderful adventure with a 100% success rate.

Many many thanks to the AWR team for making it happen.

Cheers,

Julian
