点评:In 2019, I was flying out of Kenya toward South Africa for a series of meetings. Mid-flight, the pilot came on the intercom and asked us to look out the left side of the plane. There it was, Mt. Kilimanjaro, magnificent, unmovable, breathtaking. In that moment, I knew I wanted to climb it someday.
That someday came in early 2026. I called a few trusted friends for recommendations, and one name kept coming up: Evans Adventure Safaris. Due diligence matters to me, so before committing my team to this "first," I wanted to be sure Evans was the right fit. After an initial email exchange, we moved to WhatsApp calls, several of them, in fact, and Evans answered every question with patience and genuine care.
Paying for the trip mattered to me, but it was clear money was never Evans focus. He was never pushy, never transactional. He walked me through the different route options, then sent an itemized breakdown of everything we'd need for a successful climb. When I asked, he even shared a gear rental list from his own company at a fair, affordable price. In every exchange, his communication was prompt and thorough, and when he didn't know an answer offhand, he found it and followed up.
When travel day finally arrived, our team landed at JRO (Kilimanjaro International Airport) to a warm welcome from Evans and his team. From the accommodations to the thoughtful attention to our food preferences, every detail was handled with excellence. The guides, porters, chefs, waiters, toilet dude, etc; were fantastic!
His guide team leaders are simply phenomenal. They bring years of experience and a genuine care for the people they lead. Every briefing and debriefing was outstanding, delivered with a humility you have to experience firsthand to understand. They're remarkably observant, attuned to the smallest signs that someone is struggling and health-conscious, checking oxygen levels and heart rates daily. We started calling them "superhumans" for how effortlessly they made the impossible feel manageable. They are the best of the best, operating with a spirit of excellence that turns clients into family.
What impressed me most is their humility in success: they actively seek feedback because they're always striving to improve. There are other companies offering Kilimanjaro treks and Serengeti safaris, but Evan's Adventure Safaris operates on another level entirely, well beyond five stars, with results that consistently exceed expectations.
I highly recommend Evan's Adventure Safaris without hesitation. They operate with integrity, and they can be trusted to deliver on every promise. Our whole team is deeply grateful to Evans and his entire crew. We so enjoyed our time trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro having their team by our side.
翻译:2019年,我乘机从肯尼亚前往南非参加一系列会议。飞行途中,飞行员通过广播让我们向飞机的左侧看去。映入眼帘的便是乞力马扎罗山——雄伟壮观、屹立不倒,令人叹为观止。就在那一刻,我下定决心:将来一定要登上这座山。
这个“将来”终于在2026年初到来了。我联系了几位值得信赖的朋友寻求推荐,结果一个名字屡次被提起:Evans Adventure Safaris。对我而言,尽职调查至关重要。在让我的团队着手完成这项“首次尝试”之前,我想确认埃文斯是否是最佳人选。起初我们通过邮件沟通,随后又进行了多次WhatsApp通话。埃文斯始终以耐心和真诚的态度回答了我的每一个问题。
虽然为这次行程支付费用对我而言很重要,但很明显金钱绝非埃文斯所关心的重点。他从不强求,也从不把事情当成交易来处理。他详细向我介绍了各种可能的路线方案,随后还发来了一份清单,详细列出了顺利完成攀登所需的一切物品。当我询问时,他甚至提供了自己公司提供的装备租赁清单,价格也公道合理。每次沟通中,他的回复都迅速且详尽;即便一时答不上来,他也会去查寻相关信息并随后反馈给我。
终于到了出行当天,我们团队抵达了JRO(乞力马扎罗国际机场),受到了埃文斯及其团队的热烈欢迎。从住宿安排到对我们饮食偏好的细致考量,每一个细节都处理得无懈可击。至于向导们……行李搬运工、厨师、服务员等等——所有人都棒极了!
他的导览团队负责人更是出类拔萃。他们拥有丰富的经验,并且真心关心所带领的队员们。每一次任务前说明会及任务后总结会都做得非常出色,他们表现得谦逊有礼,这种品质只有亲身经历才能真切体会。他们观察力敏锐,能察觉到队员是否遇到困难等细微迹象;同时也非常注重健康管理,每天都会检查大家的血氧水平和心率。我们开始称他们为“超人”——因为他们能轻而易举地将看似不可能的任务变得易于完成。他们堪称精英中的精英,以追求卓越的精神去服务客户,让客户感觉就像家人一般。
最令我钦佩的是他们在成功面前的谦逊态度:他们积极寻求反馈,因为始终致力于自我提升。虽然也有其他公司提供乞力马扎罗登山和塞伦盖蒂游猎服务,但Evan's Adventure Safaris的水平则完全高出一筹,远远超越了五星级的范畴。其服务效果始终超出预期。
我毫不犹豫地大力推荐Evan's Adventure Safaris。他们行事正直可靠,绝对值得信赖,能兑现每一个承诺。我们整个团队都对Evan及其全体工作人员心怀感激。有他们的团队相伴,我们在攀登乞力马扎罗山的旅程中度过了无比愉快的时光。
