8 Days kilimanjaro hiking via lemosho route
I felt really good when we reached the top of Africa. It was a real good sensation.
A really nice experience. The hole team did a really good job, even though we went really fast from one camp to the other, the team were faster than us. Everything was already ready at the camp. Really good job guys.

The best of the best outfitter!!
I had a quarter life crisis and booked this trip four weeks prior to start date. Great Lake Expedition from the get-go was 10/10 with their communication and support leading up to the trip. Every single staff member is phenomenal at what they do. I personally appreciated the support shown prior to leaving the hotel for the mountain where an equipment check is done to ensure you will have everything you need for the trip. The rental equipment is top quality and I ended up renting a sleeping bag, trekking poles, and an extra jacket. It feels counter-intuitive to pack such cold-weather gear for Africa but I am telling you it is COLD COLD COLD after Day two. My best tips for summit night is to have a downloaded playlist with motivational music, a downloaded David Goggins podcast or any other podcasts that pre-occupy your mind.
Our guides William and Jocky were 10000% professionals and so helpful and caring. Our waiter Swalehe was always looking after every need, The porters were extremely kind and athletic. Another tip is to bring extra snacks, I loved being able to share my candy and granola bars with the team as a small token of gratitude to the hard work they put in to make out trip memorable.
