点评:I was not sure what to expect, since this was the first time for me climbing a pretty big mountain. My first thought was that the fee was a bit steep, but once I lived through the week on the mountain I instead started to think how cheap it was considering everything we got. Firstly, they waited for us at the airport, picked us up, carried our luggage, drove us directly to a very nice hotel, where the hotel staff took the luggage directly from them to our room. The day after we had the breifing about the trip and double-checked all our gear, if anything was missing they went out and got it straight away. The service, both with our questions online through Whatsapp, and the questions we had in person was always answered quickly and kindly. Once we got on the bus to the mountain they had everything planned and up on the mountain the guides were all knowledgable whenever we had a question regarding a plant, a tree or an animal. Big shoutout to Tumaini which was our head-guide, he managed to stay very professional yet very personal and friendly throughout the whole trip, he also motivated my mom (age 65) to continue once we hit the first peak, so that we both made it all the way to the top.
Just to make sure I also talked to porters and staff, they were honest in their opinion and they all said Climbing Kilimanjaro was the best company out there, all porters get real food and they all get paid. Many of them had been with all of the companies making the hike and they all said the same thing - Climbing Kilimanjaro treats their staff the best.
I would highly recommend this company for anyone going there. You will not be dissatisfied.
翻译:我原本不确定会有怎样的体验,因为这是我第一次攀登一座相当大的山。起初我觉得费用有点贵,但经历了一周的登山之旅后,考虑到我们所享受到的一切服务,我开始觉得这笔费用其实相当划算。首先,他们在机场等候我们,接上我们后帮忙搬运行李,接着直接把我们送到一家非常不错的酒店。酒店工作人员又直接从他们手中接过行李,送到了我们的房间。在我们听取了关于此次旅行的简介并仔细检查了所有装备之后,如果发现有任何物品缺失,他们立刻就去购置。无论是通过WhatsApp在线提问,还是当面询问,他们的回复总是迅速而友善。当我们登上前往山区的巴士后,一切行程都已安排妥当;在山上时,每当我们对某种植物、树木或动物产生疑问,向导们都能给出专业的解答。特别要感谢我们的首席向导Tumaini,在整个旅程中他始终表现得既专业又亲切友善。当我们登上第一个峰顶后,他还鼓励我65岁的母亲继续前进,最终我们俩都成功登上了山顶。
另外,我也和沿途的挑夫及工作人员聊过,他们的评价非常真诚。他们都表示,Climbing Kilimanjaro绝对是业内最好的旅行社;所有挑夫都能吃到真正的食物,而且都能拿到应得的报酬。他们当中很多人都曾参加过多家登山公司的活动,他们都说同一句话——Climbing Kilimanjaro对员工的待遇是最好的。
我强烈推荐这家公司给任何打算去攀登乞力马扎罗山的人。您绝对不会失望的。
