Wow, just wow!!! This experience was so incredible I can barely find the words to describe it. The organisation was excellent, the team brilliant and I felt so well looked after. Now, what to book next year with Aspire Adventures? Oh, if you get a chance, go on the safari!

You will be hard pressed to find a more amazing expedition than this. I say that having done Everest Base Camp with Aspire Adventures also. The food is great and plenty of it. The team, superb. It's hard work but so rewarding. Thank you Team Aspire.

As a father and son expedition it exceeded all expectations. Not only was it the greatest experience to stand on the summit together but we had so much fun as well. Everything was better than we could ever have expected. Other teams on the mountain looked on in total envy. I can't wait for the next trip.

FAQs
What is the food like?
If you look in the information section you'll find some example meals that are served. Importantly, if you have any food intolerances or needs, they can be catered for.
What about water on the mountain?
The team obtain water and ensure it's purified before being given to us. There is more than enough to keep you hydrated. Some people bring things like berocca or hydration tablets to add some flavour.
What's a typical day like?
Generally wake up between 6am and 7am (depending on the day) with tea/coffee delivered to your tent. Then we pack our personal kit and head for breakfast in the mess tent. After that we walk for either the morning or the day, stopping for lunch or getting to camp in time for food. Every evening we tell you in detail what the next day is like.
What about altitude?
Altitude is very individual but at it's simplest level it's about a steady pace, lots of rest, hydrate and eat as much as you can. The body can adapt but it needs time, hence move steady. The route is designed to help acclimatise and we have experts on hand (plus meds) to deal with all scenarios.
What about training?
Kilimanjaro isn't about being super fit it's more about listening to the team and being really well organised. When you book you get a 3-month training plan plus a free 30mins online PT assessment to help you get ready.
I'm feeling nervous, what should I do?
It's okay, this is normal. We have got your back. If things become too overwhelming please do email the team and someone can give you a call back to discuss your apprehensions. Some nerves are good, it focuses the mind, and just imagine how it will feel after when you've completed this exciting expedition!
