Climbing Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Sunrise was one of the most incredible and rewarding experiences of my life. My husband and I decided to take on this adventure together, and it turned out to be an unforgettable journey that strengthened our bond in ways we never expected.
From the moment we booked, the Kilimanjaro Sunrise team made everything seamless. They provided detailed information to prepare us for the climb, which helped calm my nerves as I worried about everything from altitude sickness to packing the right gear. Once we arrived, the warm welcome from our guides and porters set the tone for an amazing experience.
The crew was exceptional. Our guides were knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, while the porters worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed. It felt like we were part of a big, supportive family on the mountain. And I have to mention the food—it was so much better than I expected for a trek! After long days of hiking, the hot meals were exactly what we needed to refuel and relax.
Summit night was both the most challenging and the most rewarding part of the climb. My husband and I leaned on each other for support, and the encouragement from our guides gave us the push we needed to keep going. Reaching Uhuru Peak together as the sun rose over the Tanzanian plains was an emotional moment I’ll treasure forever.
Looking back, my only regret is that we didn’t have the time to go on safari after the climb. Many people in our group had planned to visit the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, and hearing their stories made me wish we’d added a few extra days to explore Tanzania’s incredible wildlife. It’s definitely on our list for the future!
If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro, I can’t recommend Kilimanjaro Sunrise enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and focus on safety made this adventure truly special.
