I had an excellent experience climbing Kili this past year. I was part of a charity group raising funds for a school in Tanzania which provided this excellent opportunity as most of us had never visited Africa, let alone done any climbing at such high altitudes. I must also thank Casper, our guide, and the entire team at E-Trip Africa for nothing but the best. Twice daily medical checks, great food, and excellent communication throughout the entire process made all the difference.
