I'm not long back from the most amazing adventure, an African/Tanzanian adventure which got to the very heart and soul of life in Tanzania and an experience I will never forget. The trip was exactly as the website itinery stated, literally taking us to places both well known and clearly well loved by Jason, completely off the beaten track and into rural life not accessible to just anyone. A well organised, clearly planned trip of a lifetime which we were well prepped for.
The adventures started from the day we arrived and we were immersed into the sights, smells, tastes, sounds and textures of Tanzania. We embarked on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with confidence in Jason's knowledge, expertise, professionalism, friendly chatter and so many laughs along the way. His team of 45 porters, guides, chefs, kitchen/waiter crew and toilet dude, to name just a few of their roles, were well known to him and instilled yet more confidence within our group of 14 intrepid explorers. Benson, Jason's lead guide was also key to the team and personally for me, Hope was the guy who was just the most patient when the challenge of the summit was tough. The team were highly organised, efficient and confidently prepped in ensuring we had the best food, the best gear and we all felt we were in safe and helping hands at every moment of our ascent, summit and descent. The magic of the mountain really was phenomenonal but the most amazing adventures continued after descent when we were fully immersed in the cultural day with the villagers and families of our 45 staff. This Tanzanian adventure has been a roller coaster that I'm not willing to get off just yet! The memories will be treasured forever.
I highly rate and recommend Jason Black Mountaineering and would not hesitate to book with the team again.
