REAL LIFE ADVENTURE TRAVEL

Great company with even better owners and all of their staff. They truly go above and beyond to make your experience of hiking Kilimanjaro memorable. All new equipment, good food, and above all their hospitality is worth more than 5 stars. I would happily choose them again and recommend everyone to go with this company!

5 of us did the 7 day Machame route to Kilimanjaro in Oct 2022. From the beginning communication was excellent. We were working with the owner Freddy and his son Hans. We got picked up from the airport and were taken to Kilimanjaro Wonders hotel for the night. Hotel included in our package was very clean, spacious rooms and amazing breakfast was included. Hans and his crew checked our gear night before our hike and provided anything we missed or had asked for.
Tents we stayed in were in excellent condition. Our package included cots with mattress and sleeping bags. This was much needed after a long day of hiking and you need to change, pack and un pack. Every meal they provided us was very tasty and high quality food. They catered to all our requests. Anything we asked for, they made a supply run every other day and got it for us.
Their crew worked extremely hard to make sure we made it to the summit with safety as their first priority. On the night of the summit night they really stepped up their game even more in helping us out in every way they could. Really grateful for their teams hard work. We would not have been able to reach the summit if it wasnt for them.
I decided to come down the mountain on the same day while other stayed the 6th night on the mountain. Mr Hans made special arrangements to make sure he gave a guide who would bring me to the base, a driver waiting for me at the base to take me to the hotel and Mr Freddy waiting at the hotel to make sure I do not have any issues checking in.
One our last day they threw a big lunch party for our group where all of the porters and crews came to congratulate us and gave our completion certificates. They had food, drinks, cake and live band for us.
I highly recommend Real life adventures and they is not one negative thing I can stay about the owners and their crew.

Few things below I would recommend for your hike.
*Private toilet add on should be a must.
*Private shower add on, you really don't need it as its so cold and even they provide hot water only 2 people in our group took showers 1 day out of the 7 days.
* If you request Real life adventures they will provide with battery pack to charge your electronics
* Do not take summit night lightly. Make sure you layer up with lot more layers than you have been last few days of your hike. I had two socks and two layers of hand gloves but I was still very cold.
* Follow the speed they recommend. It will be helpful for your success rate.
