点评:Earlier this year I had the opportunity to join some friends to hike Mount Kilimanjaro. We climbed the Lemosho route in 8 days with the support of the amazing team from Peak Planet. From the very start it was clear that this was a professional outfit. Clear, concise and fast communications and a real desire to ensure that we had all the information we needed to have a great experience. Also, a key requirement for us was that they are KPAP certified.
The transfer driver, John, met us at the airport holding a Peak Planet sign. He assisted us with sorting out a luggage problem and then took us to Stella Maris Hotel.
The hotel is a social enterprise that Peak Planet supports. The profit from the hotel support the primary school that the foundation runs. The staff at the hotel are like long-lost relatives that you have never met, but you immediately have a connection.
The hike was enjoyable, but what really makes it special is the team. Msuri the head guide gives an allure of confidence, not needing to say a million words to help you know you are doing well and in good hands. Chef Samwel, kept us well fed, and made some amazing meals, even though we had some dietary restrictions. Charles, Victor, John, Peter, Ernest and James all stood out, clearly for them this is not just a job, but something they enjoy. A shout out to Richard who got the missing bag up to us on our second day.
The summit is quite a challenge and I really doubt I could have made it without the amazing team helping me to do it right from the very first day.
After the trek I went on a 3 day safari. Dickson has eyes like an eagle and his was enjoyable to spend time with during the safari.
Thank you to the Peak Planet team for making this a trip I will never forget.

接送司机约翰在机场举着Peak Planet的牌子迎接我们。他帮我们解决了行李问题,然后送我们去了斯特拉玛丽斯酒店。
这家酒店是一家社会企业,Peak Planet为其提供支持。酒店的利润用于资助该基金会运营的小学。酒店的员工就像久未谋面的亲人,却能立刻建立起亲密的联系。
徒步旅行本身就令人愉快,但真正让它变得特别的是Peak Planet的团队。首席向导姆苏里给人一种自信的感觉,无需多言,就能让你感到安心,知道自己得到了很好的照顾。厨师萨姆韦尔让我们吃得饱,即使我们有一些饮食限制,他也烹制了一些美味佳肴。查尔斯、维克多、约翰、彼得、欧内斯特和詹姆斯都非常出色,显然对他们来说,这不仅仅是一份工作,更是一份热爱的事业。特别感谢理查德,他在我们第二天就把丢失的行李送到了山顶。
登顶极具挑战性,如果没有这支优秀的团队从第一天起就给予我帮助,我真的怀疑自己能否成功。
徒步旅行结束后,我参加了为期三天的野生动物之旅。迪克森拥有鹰一般的敏锐目光,与他一起的旅程非常愉快。
感谢Peak Planet团队,让我拥有了一次永生难忘的旅行。
