Pick this company!
I could not be more happy with my choice using Above Safaris for my Kilimanjaro adventure. I was very specific about the dates for my travel because my trek was centered around my 50th birthday. Carrie, one of the company owners, was extremely helpful every step of the way even when I was a high maintenance client with many questions and thoughts. First, it felt wonderful to go with a woman owned business (her husband a local is the other owner). Second, Carrie truly cares about the community and staff and pays her people a fair wage and doesn’t keep all the earnings for herself. She is adamant about ensuring her team shares in the success of the company. I paid more than most because I was specific about dates. Carrie tried to save me money by asking if I wanted to join other groups with different days, but because my birthday I stuck to my choice. My guide Barnabas has been leading trips for over 12 years in the mountain. I was in extremely capable hands. The chef, waiter and porters he picked couldn’t have been kinder, more supportive and wonderful. This team helped make my dream to summit possible. When I wanted to give up, they cheered me on. We adjusted routes, wake up times while on the mountain all in the interest of ensuring I would make it and much to my own surprise, I did! I am forever in debt to this company and these people and they will always be in my heart given everything mentioned and more. Thank you Above Safaris!
