Written July 2008

Fantastic trip, the group I was in was really well balanced, a total mix of backgrounds and ages. This diversity made for interesting conversation and a better overall experience. The route itself was really good, a lot more interesting and less crowded than Marangu (used for descent). The food was outstanding, far better than I had expected especially when you consider it all had to be carried all the way up with us day after day. No promises but I had a bacon sandwich every morning!!

An amazing experience in an amazing country, the climb up Kili is torture, but a hugely rewarding experience and not something I will ever forget.

Great holiday. Found AWC and the trip great but found Exodus poor in most aspects of their contribution to the trip (see below). I would recommend AWC and a Kili climb but don't plan to use Exodus in the near future.

Written March 2008

The contracted local company The African Walking Company was very professional with the guides and porters doing a great job. The equipment of tents and eating utensils were a little tired. I would recommend that new cups, plates and cutlery was purchased and cracked mugs not used. Extra serving spoons would have helped.

Written March 2008

This was an AMAZING experience. I didn't make it to the top but it didn't matter at all - I still felt a great sense of achievement from my own 5000 metre peak. The organisation was impeccable - great local staff looked after us so well and the food was surprisingly good - no pretend dehydrated mountain food in sight.

One week that I shall never forget - truly awesome in every way!

Written November 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Getting to Uhuru Peak and standing on the top of Africa. It was such an unreal experience that I couldn't quite take it all in. It is simply a surreal place and it was almost dreamlike. The walk from Gilman's to Uhuru was much harder than I thought (I felt OK at Gilman's!) and it seemed to take an age to get there. I was almost an emotional wreck when I finally did make it and I sat down at the sign and had a good old cry! I couldn't quite believe what I had done and it was all a bit too much!! All that physical and mental torture that had built up had to come out somehow! Make no mistake the summit push is hard but it is worth it and the sense of achievement and exhilaration is incredible. So much so, that I'm heading back there again soon to tackle the Shira route.

A challenge my Dad thought I would fail...

Written September 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
At sunrise, on the final ascent, when I reached Gilmans Point and realised that I had succeeded in getting where I had imagined for so long, and that Uhuru Peak was now in my sights. I'm just so disappointed that my father died before he could see my achievement (he thought I was mad to attempt this challenge)

What the hell were we thinking??!!

Written September 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Trekking up Kilimanjaro is something you will totally underestimate, find it hard to believe that you actually did and will then wonder - what the hell were we thinking?!! After 4 days of trekking to get to Kibo Camp, we walked through the early hours of the morning, with only headtorches lighting our way and pigeon stepped up steep scree slopes and then climbed up rocks for 7 and a half hours. All we could see was a line of little white lights snaking up and down the mountain and audible above the sound of crunching scree were the voices of our porters singing traditional songs back and forth to each other.We watched the moon rise, we watched the sun rise. And we carried on walking. And the porters made sure that every single one of us were safe, well, and made it to the top. Once at the top, the sight is awe-inspiring. Glaciers, blue ice, the crater rim. It's freezing. But the views are worth it. And you are standing on the top of Africa.

The Highlight of my gap year!

Written September 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The final ascent altho exhausting, was fantastic. The guides kept spirits high all the way and reaching Gillmans point to see the sunrise was just breathtaking. Six of our group made it to Uhuru and leaning on the sign at the top to keep myself from falling over was surreal, dreamlike.The most fun i had on the trip was actually the way down. Trying to walk down a relatively steep slope covered in rapidly melting snow combined with a low oxygen atmosphere made for a very entertaining hour or so of slipping and sliding. My first veiw of the mountain was on the short plane trip from Nairobi to kilimanjaro airport. This is where 1) the scale of the path ahead of you becomes dauntingly clear and 2) the excitement really starts to build!

The toughest but most rewarding thing I have achieved to date

Written January 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Reaching Gilman's Point at sunrise was a moving experience for those of us who made it. The hard work, fatigue and mental exhaustion suddenly became worth it. Meeting a great group of people who I hope to stay in contact with for a long time to come.
