Excellent Kilimanjaro Climbing Experience
June 02, 2025by: Andrea Michael - AustraliaProgram: Machame Route 7 Days – Kilimanjaro HikeI had a fantastic experience with Nyamera Treks and Safaris. From the beginning, everything was well-organized, and the team acted professionally throughout. The guides were experienced and attentive, ensuring we stayed hydrated and well-nourished. Summit night was challenging, but their support and encouragement made all the difference. I always felt safe during the climb, and the overall experience was unforgettable. A great choice for anyone planning this adventure.
