Guide's Note

George Mushi

Professional Tanzania Safari Guide

"Kilimanjaro requires preparation — physical fitness, the right gear, and proper acclimatisation. I coordinate trekking teams I trust completely. The summit moment — standing on Uhuru Peak at dawn, Africa below you — is something no amount of description does justice to."
