Climbing Kilimanjaro

Our Unforgettable Experiences pages are written by Tribes clients. They tell us in their own words what they really felt about the things they did and places and people they met on their holidays with Tribes. Hopefully this will help you when it comes to trying to decide where to go and what to do.

We'd like to thank everyone who takes the trouble to write one of these Experience reviews for us. This is a new part of our website since February 2010, and we hope they will be added to quickly over the coming months.

unbeliveable experience, better to go not knowing anything, listen to the guides, take anti sickness tablets with you and toilet roll! Save your energy for Summit night and keep going x pole, pole !

An achievable challenge with bonus of seeing an African dawn and mountain top glaciers in the same day!

The food was exceptional on the mountain. It is amazing what can be produced on a camping stove - we even had chips one night!
Summit night was tough, but I was a bit surprised by how tough the descent was. A long climb up (8hrs) followed by 2 long descents of 6 and a further 4 hours all on the same day. Potentially would have preferred the option of staying at High Camp rather than Mweke Camp on final night.
The guides focused on ensuring the group had a good time and were safe. Came into their own on summit night when they changed from very relaxed / affable guides into strong / focused leaders.
