The team was well organized, friendly, and always on time. Our guide Ian was amazing and knew a lot about the wildlife. Personally i recommend Wild RhythmPosted on Joseph P Highly Recommend for Kilimanjaro Trek! I had an amazing time hiking Mt Kilimanjaro on the 6-day Machame route. From my arrival in Moshi I was picked up and brought to my hotel, and Hammadi made sure I had everything I needed. I originally booked to join a group trek, but due to the other travelers changing their plans, I ended up with a private trek at a very competitive price, thanks to Hammadi’s flexibility. Then I got gear rentals at an amazingly cheap price as well, thanks to Hammadi’s personal gear that he let me use. On the trek, I was supported by a 3-person crew: a guide, a porter, and a porter-chef. They were all extremely friendly and allowed me to have a very smooth hiking experience, from having my tent set up on time before I arrived each day, to cooking me delicious and nutritious meals to energize each leg of my hike.Reaching Uhuru peak at the top of Mt Kilimanjaro was challenging, but I’m so thankful that my guide was there to brief me along the way, give me sound advice on precautions, and help me reach the top. Every evening we had a medical check up, as well as an overview of the following day’s agenda.Overall it was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t thank Wild Rhythm Adventures enough for the seamless experience they gave me, at an unbelievably competitive price. Thank you Wild Rhythm Adventures team, and until next time!Posted on Rehema n Unforgettable trip Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route was truly the adventure of a lifetime.
