Wow, what a great experience! The final walk up the summit ridge was a just an amazing feeling and luckily, weather conditions on the top cleared up after starting from School Hut in lightly falling snow.

Everything ran like a well-oiled machine. We just couldn’t fault it! We really liked the team approach across porters and guiding staff.  I know that these things don’t just happen and you should be proud of your staff and their efforts. Would I recommend a Nature Discovery Kili trek to friends and family – absolutely! That to me is always the test after completing something like this.

Your advice as to the Shira Plateau route was spot on. Excellent to get the necessary acclimatization time in and nobody suffered from altitude sickness. Having experience that at Everest Base Camp, I was very pleased (and relieved) to come through unscathed this time.

Some specific comments:

Hire gear was great.

Food was exceptional, both as to variety, quality and quantity. Our chef, Felisiana August was superb and turned out meals of a consistently high standard. Both the menu design was excellent and we were continually surprised as our waiter Good Luck announced each evening what we were having.

Guide team: Onest Mtui is the sort of person you just trust and respect. Quietly spoken, very knowledgeable, and as we headed up the mountain on summit day with the ground covered in snow, you just knew that he was right on top of his game. Excellent man and we all really enjoyed his company.

Assistant guide William Bwenje is someone that you need to keep in mind when you are looking to promote new head guides. Both Michael and I were impressed with his depth and maturity. He anticipated problems, worked with people who needed assistance, demonstrated really good leadership qualities and has a very good grasp of English. The overall caliber of your people on our trek was just superb.

So in summary, I must compliment you and all the team on a job well done.

Nature Discovery is the best agent to secure your Kilimanjaro climbing. Guides like Sam and Philip run the strongest team, always disciplined and caring! Equipment is of highest quality, camp management is in order, incredible eating, perfect information and briefing.  A top team spirit; smile on their faces, and, if needed, serious, alert, dedicated. They know the mountain and its challenges! Imagine, two lady-climbers feeling totally safe and perfectly guided by this professional team!
We fully recommend Nature Discovery! It was amazing and we will never forget this wonderful journey!

Si vous chercher une agence qui sort des sentiers battus et qui va vous accompagner dans toutes vos directions, alors Nature Discovery est faite pour vous. Remplie de gens compétents et à votre écoute, je remercie vivement, encore une fois, toute l’équipe sur le terrain et à la logistique. C’était parfait et je ne peux que recommander cette agence avec laquelle je n’ai qu’une envie qui est de refaire un trek « à la carte » comme ils savent si bien le faire.
Grand Merci à tous.

The Yaeda Valley near Lake Eyasi; home to the Hadz The Yaeda Valley near Lake Eyasi; home to the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers. This area is carefully managed and protected by @carbontanzania, who are undaunted by the coronavirus and the world lockdown. Fortunately, the VGS (Village Game Scouts) at all three of Carbon Tanzania’s project sites are able to continue with their regular patrols during this time when most of the globe is restricted in its movement. Due to the nature of their work, being isolated and in the middle of nature, the teams are able to continue with their pursuit of a forest free of deforestation, poaching and land incursions. Since 2011 ND has been offsetting its carbon and taking measures to reduce its' impact, earning the status of "Elite Offsetter" in 2018. Our offset of 1,975.5 CO2e translates into: *2,963 ha of wildlife-rich Hadzabe hunter-gatherer homeland protected *6,914 ha if natural habitat across the entire ecosystem protected *1 community forest scout employed for 4 years by paying their salary and supporting their family *1,778 umbrella thorn acacia trees kept in the ground for another year *197 residents of the Yaeda Valley receive twice yearly mobile health clinic screening for TB, trachoma and common ailments #hadzabe #sustainabletourism #sustainability #ethicaltravel #socialresponsibility #responsibletravel #responsibletourism #tanzania
We've turned our tent-making operation into a mask We've turned our tent-making operation into a mask-making factory to supply local hospital workers with masks during this time.

A cheetah and her young cubs pause for a drink in A cheetah and her young cubs pause for a drink in the southern Serengeti plains. Our guide Peter Ngotio took this shot, explaining that the cubs are between 6-7 weeks old, indicated by the white fur that remains on their backs. They've only just been weaned and left the den. The cubs will live with their mother for about 1.5 years, learning survival skills, but even under her watch only one of these three will survive. #cheetah #cheetahcubs #serengeti #serengetisafari
