Paul and I were well taken care of from the moment we arrived at the Moshi Airport until our departure two weeks later. Each day of our climb with guide Yusuph, assistant guide Hemedi and their amazing crew (I'll never forget the pizza we had for dinner one night!), was an adventure and a experience of learning about the mountain and Tanzanian life and culture. We had a successful summit night thanks to their skill, encouragement and the occasional boost over a rock, not to mention hot tea and chocolate when fatigue set in. Our safari with Yusuph was an equally rich experience due to his deep knowledge of the land and the animals that thrive there. We can't recommend Yusuph and Hemedi highly enough. They are rockstars of trekking.
