Absolutely unforgettable. Our guide read the weather perfectly and the camps were far more comfortable than I expected. Strangers at the gate, a real crew by the summit.

Well organised from the M-Pesa booking to the trailhead transfer. Pacing was spot on for acclimatising. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Tough but so worth it. Bring more layers than you think — it gets cold up top. Guides were patient and encouraging the whole way.
