It truly was the fabulous team from Great Lake Expedition that made my family’s trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro successful, positive, and a magical experience. Iza set us up with an incredible group of men & women who guided us up the mountain.

Standouts on our hike that really made the difference for me include Innocent, our main guide. Innocent, a man of integrity, extraordinary mountain climbing skills, and compassionate support, is one of the main reasons I was able to summit.

Saidy was another positive standout from my hiking experience. He went way over and above to assure my success and safety as I descended the mountain. He met me where I was mentally, physically, and emotionally, allowing me to move down the snowy mountain at my own pace.

I’ll be 59 years old in a couple weeks and on May 23, 2021, I successfully summited Mt. Kilimanjaro. My success can be greatly attributed to the good people of Great Lake Expedition You guys are the best and I’ll never forget all you did for me. Thank you so much.
