I can't say enough good things about the Global Adventure Tours staff! The 6-day Marangu trek was taken by us! The scenery was stunning, and our guides and porters were outstanding as well. They provided a level of service that well above our expectations.

We recently completed a six-day trip to Uhuru Peak through the Marangu Trail, and it was an absolutely magical experience made possible in large part by the brilliant World Adventure Tours people!

My husband and I used World Adventure Tours to climb Mount Kilimanjaro on the Marangu Way for six days and then go on a three-day safari. I vouch for World Adventure Tours. Also excellent was the staff. During every meal, our cook provided us with a substantial amount of tasty food. Our tent wasn't a top-of-the-line, brand-new tent, but it served its purpose in windy, rainy, and snowy circumstances. We found the lodgings with World Adventure Tours on the mountain to be more than adequate. None to report! What a wonderful experience it was to arrive to Uhuru Peak shortly after sunrise. Moreover, we recommend World Adventure Tours.

A wonderful experience! The greatest option for a successful and pleasurable Kilimanjaro trip is World Adventure Tours. The group went above and above to assist us in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. They took care of our safety and comfort the entire journey. I'm thankful for a fantastic team that made me feel at home. Absolutely a trip to remember. World Adventure Tours, thank you.
