With only four days to spend in the Moshi/Arusha area, Jairos Adventures did an excellent job of creating a complete custom tour for me. The two licensed guides I had -- Herman for a two-day overnight safari and Solomon, an experienced trekking guide for a day climb on Mount Kilimanjaro -- were both excellent. Each knew their subject matters like experts. Hermann seemed to have an instinct for knowing exactly where to go on our day-long safaris (first in Lake Manayera Park and then Ngorongoro Crater) to show me every kind of wild animal, exotic bird, and native trees and flowers I could ever hope to see, and he was very good at answering questions on topics ranging from animal behavior to the culture and customs of local Tanzanians. Likewise, Solomon guided me on a 5-hour trek on the Marangu Gate route up to the Mandara Huts camp and back explaining what the full trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro is like, pointing out waterfalls and wildflowers along the way. All in all, the company really went out of its way to do a great job and make me feel welcomed, even until the very last moment when the owner personally escorted me to my departing flight at the airport.

Hi Jairo, I have arrived back in Russia after a great African visit/holiday etc. Firstly, I want to express my appreciation and thanks to all those who helped me get to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro and down safely. It was a fabulous trek and reasonably challenging for me but Joshua was great and walked slowly with me all the way. He was well supported by the other members of the support team – Charles, and chef Agustino. They fed me very well and I take my hat off to them for their encouragement and support. Secondly I had a great time during the hiking, the company was very professional and I learn a lot about Mount Kilimanjaro but also about history and culture. Thank you again for a very memorable and rewarding trek.

I want to say THANK YOU. Our trip to Tanzania, going to the All-Day Support Child Care, visiting the kids Project and climbing the mountain has been one of the most memorable and transformation times of my life. The people we met along the way, Joshua (what a star), he was intelligent, reliable, funny, sincere and a pleasure to get to know. He told us so much about the project, the country, you all, the story of how he met Gavin and has so much knowledge to share. The staff at Kiliwonders were so great. Friendly, fun and loveable. Paulo - what a lovely man. He took us to the school project and showed us round with great detail and sensitivity. Cyrus (seriously) The Mountain Man with his mountain medicine. He was gentle, really funny, welcoming, re-assuring and again, really made me laugh. All the porters, I do know lots of their names, James, Richard, Agustino the fabulous cook and the others which I know their faces so well, but I think the altitude affected my memory. James and Agustino - again, kind, funny, reliable, knowledgeable and welcoming. I was moved, challenged, and humbled by the humanity and kindness we experienced. I laughed so much and felt like I made friends. The mountain was spectacular and unforgiving and majestic and I summited on 21St July at 6am with Joshua. You probably heard that Sam suffered quite a lot from the altitude, however managed to get the Summit, and then we hooked up for breakfast (totally knackered!) We are both very grateful for all the input and thought gone into our trip. I have experienced travel with several organizations, but nothing like this. So personal and with integrity too. So, thanks to you too. All the best and I will let people know about Jairos Adventure and the All-Day Support Child Care.
