Travelicious Review
Through a mutual friend in my home country Switzerland I was put in contact with Philbert and his company MyTrip2Tanzania. On very short notice Philbert put together a very organized and professional team for the chosen Lemosho route. I was given very detailed information on what to bring and expect. From the moment I was picked up at Kilimanjaro airport every aspect and requirement for the trip was taken care of by Philbert and his crew.
