An incredible trip - Thank you Congema
Trekking Kilimanjaro & Safari
We had an incredible trip thanks to Congema and we were absolutely delighted with the performance of the whole team.
Both during the preparation and the trip, all went very smoothly. In the beginning we had contact with Alain, who is prompt and we were able to come up with a great program.
Considering Congema has been in business for 6-7 years whereas other companies are in operation for a few years and close is proof of friendly and great service. Furthermore Congema is owned by a Tanzanian where as some others are operated with large agencies. The price is very good and when we compared to the big trekking companies we has some hesitation on the service, Congema far exceeded our expectations.
Right upon our arrival Congema picked us up from the airport. The next day we met our guide Victor for a briefing and he check our gear to make sure we would be in comfort. Our guides, Victor, Habib and Izack are well spoken and were polite, positive and professional. The guides ensure that each individual advance at their own pace with the goal is to get to the top.
Our ascent over 8 days to the summit was successful for all 6 of us in the group. The whole team (guides, assistants, cook, and porters) work well together. Special mention to Ramsoo, who makes your morning, lunches and dinners in a great atmosphere.
We also chose to do a Safari with Congema. We were again picked up by our guide/driver on time (we were never late because of Congema, always on time, even a little early). We had chosen to stay in lodges which were far better than anticipated with unique experience in each one. Either luxury tenting or a lodge with a view.
Our guide, John took the time to explain the surroundings, animals, his stories etc. as well answer our questions. Even if it was expected he did it very well and with pleasure. You could tell they know their stuff, not only are they educated in that area, they are also passionate. Example John is also an avid birdwatcher/birder.
For us it was a fabulous trip in Tanzania and we greatly appreciate Congema. We strongly recommend for anyone wishing to do a trek or safari to connect with Congema.
