Thomson’s Kilimanjaro staff made our trek easier than anticipated!

The Kilimanjaro trek was the most awesome experience of my life – never to be forgotten and will be talked about for some time to come.

A little over 2 years ago, Kili wasn’t even on the agenda. Being in my mid-60s, I never thought it was doable but once the decision was made, I trained especially hard.  For me, the daily treks were not difficult, however summit day was a real challenge. But we made it and the experience was absolutely amazing, it was a great feeling of accomplishment!

The guides, porters, cooks and waiters were first rate; they encouraged us along the way and helped when necessary, it made the climb easier than anticipated.
