    I got Covid from someone in the group. For a high altitude hike like this, we should have been tested for Covid. It not like I could avoid it, we ate together in an enclosed tent.

    Unbelievable experience delivered by experts of the Kilimanjaro that absolutely made the trip and we?re brilliant every step of the way. Gasto was fantastic but so were all the other CEO?s and porters, the effort they put in is astonishing.

    This was my first G Adventures tour. James and his team blew me out of the water. We had 40-something people with us for our group of 12. Every one of them provided excellent service and genuinely cared for us and our goals. I have never felt better taken care of by people I just met. The Kilimanjaro team in Tanzania is the only reason I was able to summit, especially given how sick I was feeling all week. I can't say enough good things about them!

    · December 28th, 2022
    My mom and I have always spoken so highly about this company. We have been on 3 trips with them already and have had the time of our lives. That is why we were so happy to book them again for our Mt. Kilimanjaro climb. The reason I leave such a poor review is because our flight got canceled on Christmas Day, when we arrived at the airport. There was no way for us to get a flight to Tanzania in time to make the climb. G Adventures only refunded us $350 of credit per person towards our next tour with them, which is useless because we will never tour with them again. We lost $8,500 on Christmas Day because they will not refund us and they were unwilling to make any alternative arrangements. We trusted this company and they could have easily accommodated our change in schedule. We found this out because it took us minutes to find another reputable company to take us up privately for a lower price and more flexibility. We consider that money stolen and their inflexibility and lack of compassion is at odds with the G Adventure's brand.

    James and his team were incredible. They really take care of you. I was hit hard by a variety of symptoms throughout the week, and they still got me to the top. Food is great. Rent the porta-potty!

    I am very happy that Tour Radar led my friend Peter (who originally started planning this trip, then had to back out) to G Adventures and Gerald's Dream Team. By the end of the trip, we were all family. We (the climbers) trusted them with our lives, and they took excellent care of us.

    Frank

    Asked on September 13th, 2024

    What if I start the hike and decide it's too difficult? I'm not concerned about the hiking but the altitude.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2024

      Everyone will handle the high altitude and thinner air differently and to varying degrees, which is why we try to keep the ascent slow and steady. The more time you give yourself to acclimatize, the easier your attempt at the summit will be. If you suffer from altitude sickness and do not feel like you can continue, the porters will be able to assist you down the mountain. The best way to prepare is to hike and hill-walk wherever you can in the weeks leading up to your departure in order to build up your stamina and climbing muscles. (A stair-climber at the gym is a good alternative if you don't have any mountains at the ready.) Start training six months out. With a little preparation, you should get to the top without much trouble.
