Travelicious Review
My friend and climbed Kilimanjaro via the Rongai route.. when arranging our trip, our key priority was to use a local company, ensuring the money went to Tanzanians; and we did not regret working with Philbert and MyTrip2Tanzania.. Throughout our trip we have felt safe and well taken care of. Before departing to Tanzania, Philbert personally answered all our questions, ensuring a great level of comfort. On the mountain, his very motivated and skilled team made sure we were well fed and cheated us on all the way to the top (and down again).
