I got Covid from someone in the group. For a high altitude hike like this, we should have been tested for Covid. It not like I could avoid it, we ate together in an enclosed tent.

"This is the best long distance trek experience I have ever had. Every aspect of the tour was so well organised, from the moment we started our trek to the day we summited and the day we came down. We were given the best attention by the guides and porters. The chef did an excellent job making sure we were well fed. Considering how tough the living conditions were, we were afforded so much luxuries which were only made possible due to the effort from the team. For those who are considering going up Kilimanjaro, cannot recommend enough this group enough!

"I recently completed the 6-day Machame Route trek on Mount Kilimanjaro with Almighty Kilimanjaro, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience, thanks to the exceptional team led by Innocent (Chief Guide), Philemon (Cook), Yusto (Waiter), and porters Hugo, Riziki, and Issa. Their dedication, expertise, and warmth made this challenging adventure truly remarkable. The porters were incredible—steadfast and resilient as they navigated the rocky, jagged terrain with heavy gear expertly balanced on their backs and even on their heads. Each time I arrived at camp, my spacious tent was already set up, complete with a table and chair for dining. Their efforts behind the scenes were essential to the trek's success, and I am deeply grateful for their hard work. The cook, Philemon, went above and beyond to prepare hot, delicious, and varied meals that catered perfectly to my dietary restrictions. Every meal featured fresh fruit, carbs, and protein, along with a comforting soup course for dinner. It was amazing to enjoy such quality meals at altitude, and they provided the energy needed for each day's challenges. The waiter, Yusto, was always courteous and attentive, delivering meals with a cheerful smile that lifted my spirits even on foggy, rainy days. His responsiveness ensured I felt cared for throughout the trek. The true star of the experience was my Chief Guide, Innocent, whose expertise and support were invaluable. He stayed by my side every step of the way, advising me on what to wear and carry for each day’s conditions. His knowledge of the mountain and Tanzanian culture enriched the journey, and his vigilance, especially on the more hazardous stretches like the Barranco Wall and the high-altitude ascent from base camp to the summit, ensured my safety. I truly could not have reached Uhuru Peak without his guidance and encouragement. Despite the persistent fog and rain, the incredible scenery, the camaraderie of the team, and the seamless organization by Almighty Kilimanjaro made this trek one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking an unforgettable journey on Kilimanjaro. Thank you to my amazing team and Almighty Kilimanjaro for making it possible!
