Spend the afternoon viewing wildlife along the main road that winds through a lush cool forests of Lake Manyara National Park, overgrown with ficus trees and covered with bromeliads.

I really enjoyed hiking part of the tour. However, I recommend G-adventures to be more defined about tips part, especially for the hiking part of the tour. It is stated as "recommended", therefor most people in our group gave very lousy tips at the end

The Kilimanjaro climb was brilliant and the mountain guides and Porter team made it the experience of a lifetime. I don’t think your rating system really allows a proper expression of how good that team were in making sure we were safe

Choosing G adventures for my trip was the best decision I've ever made. The service they provided from the pre-trip to the guidance on the mountain, and throughout the safari, was just beyond amazing. Being on the mountain was tough enough

This was our first experience with an escorted tour and we will now anticipate our next G Adventure experience. Our group was 100% successful summitting Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame route and I do not believe we would have had the same success

Once again, I just want to take a moment to talk about Iddy, his team and the G Fighters. I have never seen harder working individuals in my life who take so much pride in their work. They anticipated every one of our needs before we even knew we needed
