The journey to the summit, for me and my seven teammates, will undoubtedly remain one of the greatest experiences of our lives. More than physically demanding, the climb is mentally challenging—but even there, the strength of our guiding team and the bond within our group made all the difference.
KerryT18
Just completed an amazing 9 day trip of the Northern circuit with Popote Adventures. From first contact Sabino and his team were professional and responsive. Sabino runs a tight operation with highly professional guides, cooks and porters. Throughout the 9 days we felt cared for and well looked after. Their professionalism with guides like Florian, MJ and Kennedy meant that all five of us were able to reach the summit and back down safe and well.
Shaj
Had an absolutely amazing time climbing Kilimanjaro with Kilinge Adventures! Prices were very competitive and I managed to book a tour and join a group at very short notice, just a day before the trek. The trek was extremely well organised with the guides and porters ensuring that all our needs were met and to make the climb as enjoyable as possible.
