I had an awesome weekend climbing with Jason Black in Lugnaquilla, one of Ireland 7 summit. Jason Black mountaineering company went above and beyond expectations that I expected. He is such an amazing and humbled human being and also made history by becoming the first Donegal man to conquer Everest and K2 altogether, overall I really admire his determination and bravery.

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.

Not long back from the adventure of a lifetime to Island Peak with Jason and team. With Jason you get the full expedition experience and meet some amazing folk along the way as he has a great web of connections. Jason puts safety first and foremost and ensures your experience is the best it can be. There is great craic along the way and long trekking days really glide by. If the Himalayas are your thing (and they are just magnificent) then a trip with JB is the only way to go.

From the minute I booked the trip with Jason the experience has been amazing. His expertise and skills as well as his ability to have good craic makes him the best out there. Not only did he make me feel safe throughout he also made my family back home feel relaxed about the journey which is very important.
If you’re thinking about booking a trip with Jason I couldn’t recommend him more. Thanks so much for the amazing experience and I look forward to many future adventures with you .

This Kilimanjaro expedition is much more than a mountain climb , it is a cultural experience of the kindness and generosity of the Tanzanian people. We were made to feel so welcome and have made special connections with the guides and team that we will always hold dear.
By undertaking the Kilimanjaro expedition under the skilled and experienced Jason Black Mountaineering Team we were supported every step of the way to meet our personal goals and at all times felt completely safe, supported and part of a bigger team. The whole experience was so uplifting, spiritual and fun. The Tanzanian song, dance and camaraderie encapsulated the One Team One Dream philosophy that we genuinely felt a part of. Our fellow mountaineers were an amazing group of people that we have had the privilege of sharing an adventure of a lifetime with.
We were so well fed and cared for we could not recommend Jason Black Mountaineering more if you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro. You will not just climb a mountain but experience a team that is knowledgeable , compassionate, and ethically motivated to do the right thing for the mountain, the environment, locals and visitors.
Thank you Jason, Benson and Lipman and team for creating the most wonderful experience that we will always remember and hold special in our hearts and memories.

Wow! To celebrate entering my eighth decade I signed up to climb Kilimanjaro with Jason and his team. My trip surpassed all expectations. First I climbed Mount Meru with Benson, my wonderful guide - it was tough but amazing, and brilliant to trek through the Arusha National Park at the start, past giraffes etc. Then I joined the rest of the gang and we set off to climb Kilimanjaro. Again I found it tougher than expected, but the team of guides, porters, cooks and even toilet engineer were superb and made the whole thing both achievable and enjoyable. All Jason's extras - the visit to the Masai village, to the swimming lake, to make coffee, to the school he's help build etc. etc. all added massively to the experience. The add-on safari at the end was incredible. And then I had 10 days in Zanzibar. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I can't praise Jason or his team too highly. They were all fantastic!

"Incredible Trekking Experience to Mount Toubkal"
I recently had the pleasure of trekking to Mount Toubkal with Jason Black Mountaineering, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The journey was challenging yet rewarding, offering stunning views and a deep sense of achievement.
A special shout-out to our mountain guide, Hassan, who was exceptional throughout the trip. His knowledge of the terrain, his professionalism, and constant support made a huge difference. Whether it was offering guidance during difficult parts of the climb or sharing fascinating insights about the local culture and environment, Hassan was an absolute gem.
If you're looking for a well-organized, exhilarating trek with top-notch guides, I highly recommend Jason Black Mountaineering. This was an adventure I'll never forget!

Jason convinces you that you can get up whichever mountain you are standing at the base of, he is inspirational. I’ve just completed the 4 peaks challenge and can’t quite believe what we did on Carrauntoohil but he knew we could, so we did it.
