The hike was longer than advertised - about 12.5 total miles round trip, which was unexpected.
They also didn't say the ride was 3 hours each way, meaning that we were picked up around 6am and didn't get home til 8p, which was waaaaayyy later than the 8-10 hour trip that we signed up for.
It was supposed to be private tour, but they had another guide/hiker that came with us. The two guides just talked to each other the entire time, which was pretty annoying.
Also, since you are just doing the first gate, it's just a nature walk and there isn't really a payoff at the end at all. You see the "you made it" sign and then you turn around and go back. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't do it, and I definitely would clarify total time and if you'll be on your own or with a group if you do decide to go with this company.

Hello Amy,
Thank you so much for your review. While we are truly heartbroken by your experience, we deeply appreciate your feedback. We are very sorry for what happened during your safari. It was a private safari, and the issue stemmed from one person being the driver and the other being the guide. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
Thank you again for choosing and trusting Kilipath African Safaris. We assure you that next time you come, we won’t make the same mistake and will ensure everything runs smoothly.
We will never forget this day hike on the legendary Mt Killimanjaro. We were fortunate to have Joel as our guide who is a consummate professional: his confidence and wisdom about climbing the mountain is due to extensive experience accumulated over many years as a mountain guide. If I were to undertake climbing to the summit I would want Joel to be the guide. For a day trip he is a dear guide!

Joel truly is an exceptional guide, and we’re lucky to have him on our team. His expertise, confidence, and passion for the mountain make every climb special. If you ever decide to take on the summit, we would be honored to have Joel guide you once again. Wishing you many more amazing adventures ahead!"
