Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top of Kilimanjaro; beyond words.Though looking back on the trip, I would say the guides assistance in getting to the top was inspirational in that they provided excellent support (getting water, warming hands up, doing jackets up) but didn't verbally encourage you to go on, but did so through their patience and just being there. Perfect for such a challenge.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group was good and organised the trip well.
Advice for Potential Travellers
My partner and I found taking diamox helped us prevent severe headaches. Drink loads of water, it helps. Take immodium in case the combination of altitude, water and food make you ill. Be mentally prepared for the last day by being focussed on what you want to achieve; it is possible.
Suggestions
Camping and food was excellent much better than I expected, especially the vegetarian food; the chef did us proud.It was good to include the one day safari, though quite expensive if only 2/3 of you go.The tip at the end was quite expensive and was more than quoted in the trip notes. Definitely would be better to pay up front (perhaps to Exodus) and include a small tip at the end.If possible take old clothes (mainly male sizes) as the porters are grateful for any contributions. Perhaps Exodus could arrange a collection at the start/end of trip?
