We felt we were in good hands throughout the entire journey, which included not only the guides but also the porters and the delicious meals. The Great Lake Expedition was very professional and transparent in all the details, from the pick-up at the airport to the drop-off at the airport. Unlike the outfitters we encountered on the walk, Great Lake Expedition provides a distinct range of services. Thank.Show more

Hiking Kilimanjaro was an amazing challenge, and we truly couldn’t have done it without the Great Lake Expedition...
Hiking Kilimanjaro was an amazing challenge, and we truly couldn’t have done it without the Great Lake Expedition team. My brother and I wanted to take my 69 year old father on a father and sons outdoors trip. We decided to stretch for hiking to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro. My father is in great shape for his age, but is still old for this type of climb, so we wanted to ensure we had an experienced team supporting us. The Great Lake Expedition team was helpful through the entire experience, from the 80+ emails I sent coordinating the trip and several changes to the itinerary, to the amazing on the ground team of guides and porters. Even the food was actually quite good, which surprised us given how far we were from Moshi/Arusha. They were fun and cheerful when they could be, and immediately flipped to decisive, experienced professionals when they needed to be. They gave us a lot of confidence that we would all be safe on this journey. The Marangu route was incredibly beautiful, and really highlighted the diverse eco systems of the mountain. Each day was well planned out in terms of distance and elevation gain. On the summit night, the Great Lake Expedition team carefully monitored us all, especially our father, and supported him both up and down the mountain to ensure his safety. As he displayed signs of AMS after reaching Uhuru Peak, the lead guide quickly took him down the mountain to ensure his safety, and he quickly regained his balance and strength. Hiking Kilimanjaro is definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s by far the hardest physical challenge I’ve ever done. And even with the incredible support of the Great Lake Expedition team, it was definitely a stretch for a 69 year old man. But if you are up for the task, you won’t regret the journey!Show more
