Had a fantastic trip. The Kilimanjaro trek was something I won?t forget. The team of guided and porters were really very good without exception. What a great you managed to put together here! Was expertly managed for a solo traveler, I never felt alone or at risk. They taught us all the songs and were advocated of GAdventures! My only complaint was that it didn?t appear that GAdventures weren?t as enthusiastic about their team as we were. Some of the equipment they had for climbing that mountain was insufficient and embarrassing. We passed another group who were all kitted out and matching. I would have felt better ethically and for safety seeing our team in branded/suitable attire-the beanies were good for identifying the team, but it?s not enough. I would hope gay G offer T-shirt?s/boots/coats and gloves to their teams for welfare, your company brand/reputation and to ensure your team are the best and have the means to do this. Lots of us left hiking gear for the guides/porters and they seemed very grateful though they ever complain about what they don?t have. They just looked far less kitted up than the tourists and some other groups. I really hope you can invest a little more into what is a very good and deficit ram-even if it?s pool uniform that they borrow and return post trek. Loved it overall and would recommend and use myself again. I do think the 5 day route was too short and would recommend this to anyone. An extra day to acclimatise would have kept us together as a group, not as sick and given a heights success rate. Iddy got me to the top that day and I will forever be grateful for him taking the extra 3 hrs with me when everyone else was on the way down.Show more
