Unforgetable experience with Kilipaa ToursCountry forums / Africa / Tanzania | ||
Me and my Russian friends decided to challenge ourselves by trekking Mount Kilimanjaro “the roof of Africa” that’s how they call it. We were 3 guys who decided to climb Kilimanjaro much as it was our first time as mountaineering. We decided to take the challenge after hearing that The Russia Billionaire Ibramovich tried to reach the summit but he didn’t so we decided to give it a try. We were recommended by one of my friend in Canada who had climbed the mountain for several years about this company called Kilipaa Tours which is being managed by Rayson Mawenya, who is also one of the most experienced tour guide. Rayson as our tour guide together with his team of porters showed utmost professionalism as he was very organized, safety-oriented and he had vast experience in climbing Mt Kilimanjaro more than 100 times. Above all we loved the way he treated us not like tourist but like members of his own family by providing friendly and conducive environment during resting time in the night. Every evening before we rest we were briefed on the next day’s itinerary, this were followed to the latter according to itinerary. He adjusted the pace and rest breaks accordingly. We were excited after having conquered the Roof of Africa. We recommend anyone who wishes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to get in touch with Kilipaa Tours; if for first timer like us were able to reach the summit why not you and the person seated next to you.
