My husband and I hiked Kilimanjaro with Ernest in 2012, and we had an amazing experience. He has hiked that mountain so many times, which is why he's so incredibly knowledgeable about it. He made our experience fun and ensured our safety the entire time. We felt completely comfortable with him, and knew that we were in good hands. My husband is an experienced backpacking guide, so he tends to be pretty critical of other guides, and he loved Ernest. We've recommended him to other friends planning to hike Kilimanjaro, and if we ever hiked again in Tanzania, we'd definitely contact him.
