"Ultimate wild safaris went above and beyond all expectations on my recent trip to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide was very knowledgeable and his experience led us to the summit without any unforeseen obstacles. We had a pretty fit group, but I am confident that our local guide and his team could make a trip to the summit possible for anyone, regardless of physical ability. Our assistant guides traveling with us, Musa, who was also incredible and friendly in his guidance and leadership. The team of porters was very well organized and had our camp set up and ready for us each day when we arrived. That goes a long way in making you feel comfortable and able to focus on the strenuous aspects of the climb. Overall, our group of 6 had an amazing time and I would recommend Ultimate Wild Safaris to anyone!"
