Experience of a lifetime!
Easily the most challenging and rewarding thing I've ever done and probably ever will do. From start to finish the team supported us with everything from carrying our heavy luggage up the mountain and preparing all our meals to patting our hands and feet to promote good circulation and singing to us on summit night. The attention to detail concerning our health was excellent and gave me the confidence to (in spite of my asthma) push my limits and succeed on this hike. We made life-long friends, and will return to beautiful Tanzania one day soon. Would absolutely recommend this trip (it was a pre-weddig honeymoon for my husband and I and we wouldn't change our choice of activity/destination) and your chances are far greater with this team around you!!

Kilimanjaro: Perfect Experience, Excellent Guide, 100% Authentic
A trip of a lifetime! Gasto and his crew were wonderful and ensured our safety and summit to Kilimanjaro. We learned about his culture and the surrounding areas of Kilimanjaro. Each meal was prepared fresh and served hot. Our group did not worry for anything, as all our needs were met and tended to each day. Gasto explained the flora and fauna as we trekked up the mountain - demonstrating their cultural respect of the land and mountain. The huts were very comfortable, the beds cozy, and they even had pillows! Be prepared to experience some of the most breathtaking views, beautiful people, and summiting the highest peak in Africa - Kilimanjaro. It's wicked cold - bring warm jackets! Highly recommend Gasto and his crew - would go back again and again!

Awesome Experience with an Experienced Guide
This is one of those once in a lifetime experiences. It was epic and was made even more so by the friendliness and expertise of our guide. Gasto was energetic, fun to be around, and very knowledgeable about Kilimanjaro. I really enjoyed getting to know him a little more as he guided us to the summit. I know I wouldn’t have made it up without his gentle prodding and endless patience. If I did do this again (and that is a big maybe) I’d go with Gasto again.

Absolutely stunning experience with EXCELLENT guidance
Last January, I travelled to Tanzania in order to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. First and foremost, this was one of the most epic trips in my life. An awesome climb in a surreal and stunning natural environment. But what made this trip even more special were the people. We had a lovely group and our guides were just excellent too. Gasto helped us a lot to get up the mountain. Moreover, he is so knowledgable about Tanzanian culture, nature etc. and helped me learn a lot about the country. If you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro, I can warmly recommend doing that with Gasto as your guide. My expectations were exceeded on all the levels and I would do it all over again. The feeling of standing on that mountain was the highlight of my year so far and is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.Thank you Gasto for everything!

Experience of a lifetime
Brilliant experience. Great balance of a real challenge, mixed with an unbelievably supportive crew who made you believe it was certain you would reach the summit.Our crew, including Gasto, were inspirational, kind and fun, all whilst maintaining an incredibly professional approach. My wife and I felt completely secure with their support and they truly made a big impact on the trip. From keeping morale high on difficult treks with singing and chanting, to being quick to provide support - extra food and water - throughout.They administered their safety responsibilities with diligence and helped us navigate moments where we felt unwell or began feeling the altitude. The work these people put in to enable people like us to go on such a brilliant trip is something to behold. Carrying significant weight and cumbersome packs, whilst heading up difficult terrain is so impressive.Thank you Gasto and all the team for a trip of a lifetime, which I’ll never forget.Tim
