    I just went on 8 day trek with Kilimanjaro Habitas and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my lives. I had really great experience with Kilimanjaro Habitas. From the moment I arrived at the airport I was treated with lots of care, each and everything was well organized. My guide Rock was brilliant and made every effort to ensure I had a great trip. Rock and his team were well prepared, extremely knowledgeable and made the experience better than I could ever imagine. I was also blessed with awesome porters, Stanley is an excellent cook. Pio was waiter; he was always ready to help without even asking providing a hot water in the morning with an amazing smile, water for washing before and after serving our meals. Thank you so much Kilimanjaro Habitas for a great time. I would only go with this company if I did it again and have already recommended them to several friends who were considering hiking.
