How I Rate This Outfitter : ★★★★★
I climbed the Rongai route with Zara and really loved it. The night before the climb Patience gave a briefing on what to expect on the mountain and how to fight altitude sickness (polepole = go slow, and lost of water). Our guides, Mndeme and Mohamed were both great. Mndeme had a great sense of humor and lots of fun. Mohamed had tons of experience and was clearly respected on the mountain. Of the ten of us only 1 person had to go back down, the rest made it to the summit. When we got back everyone at the hotel knew us by name, congratulated us and made us feel like welcome family members. It was an awesome experience and I’d definitely book with them again.
