I wanted to share with you how completely satisfied Rosemary and I are with the trip you executed for us. We weren’t sure what to expect, but found that everything exceeded our expectations.

Rosemary initiated the idea of a Kilimanjaro climb and safari. She had done a lot of research and had specific ideas about what she wanted to see which included Mount Kilimanjaro via the Rongai Route, the Ngorongoro Crater Highland and the Serengeti. We were able to visit all these highlights as well as a few additional areas like Lake Manyara based on your suggestions.

For the trek, we enjoyed learning about the flora, fauna, and the mountain as we climbed. Your wealth of knowledge about the area was obvious and extremely educational. We enjoyed seeing new plants and animals as well as seeing some that are common to our country as well.

The best part of the trek is that Rosemary and I were both able to achieve our goal and gain bragging rights to say we were successful in our summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. That’s quite an accomplishment for Rosemary who is 70 years young and me at 40 with no previous extreme altitude experience. It was comforting to realize that you are also very knowledgeable about signs and symptoms of altitude sickness. There was a lot of focus on being careful to walk slowly, eat right and drink a lot of water.

Rosemary and I were both extremely pleased and surprised with the quality and quantity of food provided during the climb. In addition, all of the porters were great and performed their respective roles so well. Chief’s Tours employees were the nicest, hardest working people I’ve ever had helping me! I can’t say enough about what a great job they all did!!

Thanks to Chief’s Tours for making this the trip of a lifetime!!

Adidas is the best, I wanted to say hello, Adidas guided me and a good friend up Mt. Kilimanjaro in June 2004. It was an amazing experience!

Back from Kilimanjaro, and exceeded all my expectations – an unforgettable experience, not only due to the phsyical magnitude of the mountain and the trek, but also due to the kindness and friendliness of the people who made it possible. The employees of Chief Tours and Adidas, our guide, were more than just helpful and fun to travel with, they were invaluable, and it has been a pleasure getting to know them. As a vegetarian, I was a little worried about the food I would be eating during the ascent, but my worries were quickly put to rest, and I ate great food for the 5 days we were on the mountain. Adidas was instrumental in setting the pace for our group, and seemed to know exactly how best to handle every leg of the journey accordingly, whether we be tired, feeling the affects of the altitude, or ready to push on despite reaching a camp. During the ascent, when some of us had trouble making it to the top, he was infinitely helpful and caring, and in the end we all made it to the summit and down again in good health. The porters were awesome – caring, careful, and friendly, and it was great to arrive at a camp every evening and have a tent set up for us – they work harder than most people I have ever met. Amazing! I can’t do anything else but recommend Chief Tours to the fullest extent – and hope I can revisit the mountain someday and ascend with them again.
