60+ and still REACH KILIMANJARO SUMMIT - Just wanted to let all know that this company is the best...i am 60+ of age and friends and I actually did the MACHAME 6 DAY climb (WHISKEY ROUTE), the 15 member climb team for us three climbers, well they are the BEST in all areas and all members, We booked this climb 7 months out with Samten who works with the company, her information was perfect, she ensured that we were aware of everything and she responded back to us with 24 hours ALL THE TIME, plus she informed us how close we were to Serengeti National Park so we also booked a Safari with one day after climb was finished and SAFARI was great from Hot Air Balloon Safari to Jeep Safari...awesome experience. Now back to the climb, two of 3 of us made it to the summit, one reached 75% of the climb but they got Altitude Sickness, so had to be rescue via Helicopter and that also went smooth plus Travel Insurance evacuation insurance worked perfectly.....for the two of us who continue to the summit, we were ready to QUIT the climb four hours in on Summit Night , but the guides kept us motivated and they tolerated our questioning IF we could do it and end result is WE MADE IT it has been about two weeks now and i am glad the guides did not listen to us, i am so proud of myself for making it and i OWE IT TO THE GUIDES and TO THE CLIMBING TEAM...that night they even baked us a cake (see pics), plus after the climb the team actually had the USA FLAG with them (see pics) Bottom line, book wit this company since they will do their best to ensure you don't quit, they keep safety as top priority and they CARE
