Kilimanjaro was the toughest thing I have ever done – but our guides were the BEST! They watched over me like a hawk and had our best interest at all times. We had the best conversations on our 9 days together on the mountain and 2 days on Safari. We made life long friends with our guides.
The food was AMAZING! Adam our chef stuffed us full for every meal. I didn’t even need our snacks we brought – they didn’t go to waste, we gave them to our porters. My birthday was on day 7 and they secretly bought a birthday cake and carried it up the mountain unscathed! They even bought me a Masai wrap!
My advice is train hard for this, this is serious mountaineering and listen to your guides!
