Amazing Staff & Service! My friend and I had been planning to climb Kili... read more for a few years and we finally did it, all thanks to Fair Voyage and Pristine Trails! I was especially nervous since I have experienced mild altitude sickness before (at Lake Titicaca, Peru). But I made it to the top of Kili without any altitude sickness - thanks to the awesome team at Pristine Trails, our excellent cooks and Diamox. Making the reservation with Fair Voyage/Pristine Trails was seamless, the team (thank you Alexandra!) was extremely responsive and kindly adapted to our needs (e.g., providing for ad-hoc transportation needs from/to hotel, taking us to a souvenir store etc.). The guides helped us prepare for the hike by personally going over each climber's gear and ensuring we were well equipped (and suggested rental gear where needed - which came in SUPER handy on the hike). On the last day, when we decided to come down the mountain a day early, they made sure to get us covered for lunch and adjusted our entire itinerary. The entire team of guides and porters went the extra mile every step of the day to make us feel at home in the harsh mountain climates. Some of the most genuine people I have met! Every morning, we got beverages and hot water served to our door along with a warm greeting. I am vegetarian and the cook prepared special dishes each meal to accommodate for...

Every morning, we got beverages and hot water served to our door along with a warm greeting. I am vegetarian and the cook prepared special dishes each meal to accommodate for me, which I really appreciated (the food was delicious - thank you Emmanuel & Amos!). Each morning, while wearing my gaiters, one of the porters would come over to help me (without me asking!) - despite the crazy cold and no gloves, he would help me tie the gaiters every single day. During the hike itself, our guides - Job (aka Mr. J), Suley and Juma were with us every step of the way, guiding us and taking care of us like family. Without Suley's optimism, Mr. J's meticulous planning and Juma's constant help, I would not have made it. On summit night especially, the guides carried my backpack, helped me eat food/drink water at every stop and made sure I was doing ok. Mr. J helped me get down the entire way from the summit to base camp, right to our tents. I'm sure this was annoying for him, but he did it anyway to ensure I got down fast and safe (I'm slow going downhill). I'm very grateful to their support and help throughout the week!
