We did the 8 day Lemosho route with a group of 5 and we could not be happier! We all summited and it was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives.

We were picked up by Chris and Ruben and taken to the comfortable Lindrin Lodge.

On the day we left for Kili we were greeted by the lead guide Jerome and assistant guides Francis and Olaph. These guys are absolute legends. Jerome is such an amazing leader and he made sure to take care of every single person in the group and also the crew. He was so generous and kind and always put our safety first.

Francis and Olaph, the secondary guides were equally incredible and these guys are exceptional at their jobs. What was really very commendable was that our group had a variety of fitness levels and how easily the guides adapted to accommodate everyone and to help us all the summit together. All three the guides became family and we will cherish the time we had with them.

The porters. Words cannot describe the respect we have for them and how efficient the crew managing all the equipment, our personal toilet, tents and food up the mountain. The porters hiked all the way (in half the time) with us and pitched our tents and prepared everything by the time we got to our daily destination.

Every morning we were woken up by the lovely William who was responsible for all our water needs and serving our food while also having porter duties. A wonderfully friendly and happy human being who made our day, every day.

The food. Peter our chef was incredible. It will be difficult to find food like what we received on the mountain, in most local restaurants, like the food he prepared for us. We had 3 meals every day, made with love and without his valuable contribution we would not have been able to have summited. He catered for our vegetarian friend and everyone loved the food. It really exceeded our expectations.

There are so many more people I’d like to thank on this journey like the dishwasher, our personal porters John and Rama and so many more. We had a great time, made so many memories and a lot of new friends who became family on Kilimanjaro.

Thank you Follow Alice. We will be back.

There are not enough words to express how awesome this company is. We did the 8 day Lemosho route followed by a 5 day Safari. From the beginning Justin was a great resource. Quick to respond, helpful with all our questions, and responsive to all our concerns. Once in Tanzania we stayed at a great hotel (Lindrin Lodge) with the most welcoming staff. On the mountain we had not just a prepared team, but a team that was driven by our success. One example that stands out is, after we summited our waiter Rama was waiting for us, jumping up and down and giving us huge hugs. It didn't feel like a job for them- they really reveled in our triumph.

Our guides Tony and CP were beyond crucial for to our success (please keep them leading climbs!!). They seemed to have a sense of exactly what we needed exactly when we needed it. One thing I wasn't expecting is how much I learned about Tanzania. Tony and CP explained the history, colonization, independence, current affairs, all while supporting us on this incredible journey. We had 28 support staff for our team of 6 and there was no one person I could say a bad word about. You really spend so much time with everyone, and sometimes they see you at your worst. I felt so comfortable the whole time. Once off the mountain we had an awesome safari guide Yona who's energy made you think it was his first trip but whose knowledge was clearly gained through tons of experience. We saw all of big 5 while learning about local tribes and and conservation efforts. I'm already trying to find a way to fit another FollowAlice Adventure into 2023. My only advice would be to bring more cash then you think you need. We didn't realize that some of the hotels only take cash and luckily we were able to find some ATMs on the way!

Follow Alice was really good, the guides were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to take care of us, the food was brilliant, really healthy and tasted fantastic. I can’t thank the guides and porters enough as I don’t think I would have made it without them. They made the whole experience fantastic and unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this company.

We had an amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro with Follow Alice.

The guides and porters were professional, considerate of our needs, personable and fun- also with a great sense of humour. The food was absolutely excellent, varied and plentiful.

The Follow Alice team did so much for us and made it an unforgettable adventure. Thanks so much to everyone in our team.

We definitely recommend this company for climbing Kilimanjaro- the communication and information before the trip was also great and put us very much at ease before arrival.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is an unforgettable and amazing experience- do it with Follow Alice.

This was a lifechanging trip. We reached the summit with the best crew ever, thank you Florence, Francis, Alex, Olaf, Innocent, Rama and all other 48 people who made this dream reality. You are all wonderful, friendly and inspire us in order to reach the summit. Hope to see you again and share with you new adventures. Much love!

We had an amazing time on Kilimanjaro with Follow Alice - their communication, preparedness, and expertise both before and during the climb was top notch! I highly recommend to anyone who’s considering climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, go with Follow Alice!

My son and I just got back to the U.S. from an 8 day Lemosho experience. The equipment, food, and friendly helpful staff made the climb a trip of a lifetime. Special thanks to the team leaders James and Cross and their awesome staff. Don’t be mistaken this is a real climb physically and mentally, but all said and done worth it.

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Follow Alice was a genuinely special and unforgettable experience. I don’t think anyone can have climbed with better guides than Jerome, Justice and Msafiri. I felt completely safe in their hands and lucky to spend a week in their good company. All the porters as well were amazing - especially Raja and the kitchen guys, the food was always such a treat :)) I would really recommend this company, I’m gonna look out for them wherever else I go. Watching other groups climb at the same time we felt consistently so glad to be with the people we were with from follow alice. Lots of love to everyone there and I hope to see you again!<3

The Follow Alice team were amazing from start to finish.
The booking stage was very straightforward, we were given all the information and help we needed very quickly and clearly. The climbing team were incredible - they looked after us perfectly throughout the whole trip - we couldn't have asked for a more skilled, knowledgeable, caring and good-humoured, fun team. Thank you very much.

I had been wanting to hike Kili for years, and now that the pandemic has subsided, finally went through. I am so happy I found Follow Alice as a guide company — they helped me achieve my dream of summiting the mountain!

To start, Follow Alice gave me all the information I needed before the trip to really be prepared. Tash and Justin were super communicative, really helping with accomodations, recommendations, etc...

As the trip got underway, I could not have asked more from the guides — they were super friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding with our needs. Our main guide, Tony, even offered me his waterbottle when my water-bladder broke on day 1! What a guy.

But the real hidden stars of the show were the porters — they work like no others! They were super nice and helpful for the whole team and we couldn't have done the trip without them. From managing the portable toilet to setting up our camps to cooking great mountain food, these guys were legends.

Overall, I had a wonderful trip and would recommend Follow Alice 10/10 times to anyone looking to hike Kili.

Everest Base Camp - breathtaking experience. We had the great pleasure to embark on the mission of a lifetime with the great team of Follow Alice (FA) and their local hosts Sonam, Sonam and Nima! The tour was organized to every detail and FA made sure that there was nothing to be missed. Our guide Sonam and Nima took great care of us, especially also in moments when we didn’t feel great. We are 100% sure that we wouldn’t have made it without them! Thanks a lot to the entire team. We highly recommend FA, we now did two excursions together (EBC and Kili) and we are sure to do the next one again with FA!

Wow! What an amazing experience with Follow Alice that I won’t forget. I did the 9 day Northern Circuit route and we always felt well cared for. Our guides were Robert, Gideon and Alex - I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it if it weren’t for their patience. They brought great vibes and loads of laughs, even during the toughest parts of the climb. The entire crew was also incredible - from the cook to all the porters - we couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Best trip of a lifetime with follow Alice on the 9 day northern route. The best and friendliest guides and people from porters,cooks,waiters and personal porters all help was given to those who needed it. Out of 7 people 6 made too the top and the one who didn't was cared for as best as humanly possible. A 10/10 experience for me and worth every dollar including tips. My guides were Robert,Alex and Gidion.I don't think any other guides could have made this hike as good as they could especially on the second day when it was one of the hardest. The cook prepared the best food you can get on the moutian and our waiter folded our napkin into birds ,butterflies and others the attention to details on this trip were insane and no one felt out of place in the environment they tried to make like home at every camp. Also the begining and the end. lodge they provided was excellent
Advise

Pack hand warmers like a lot one for every night and days hiking with frost and cold winds.
Bring extra batteries for your head lamp.
Eat everything no matter how you feel.
Drink the ginger tea it can help you reach the summit.
Tip well they really deserve it.
Use gaters on your shoes for cold and dust.
Bring your medkit and other meds just incase.
Go on the full moon if you can.
Overall
Best solo trip ever.

Just returned from a 10 day Uganda trip with Follow Alice. Our group had a wonderful experience with our guides Simon and City! They kept us safe navigating the “African massage” roads as well as roads where driving lanes were optional. The lodges were all unique with comfortable rooms and spectacular views! The food at all of the lodges was outstanding with varied menus satisfying our group. The highlight was our gorilla trek which will remain etched into all of our memories.
The planning process with Michael was easy and collaborative to maximize our interests. To anyone interested, I would highly recommend a trip to Uganda with Follow Alice with the advice to stay longer than we did, especially to explore Bwindi Impenetrable Park!

What a fantastic trip. I had several questions before leaving that were always answered promptly. While on the mountain everyone was friendly and helpful. The daily pulse ox checks let me know there was an eye our safety. The meals were delicious and plentiful, the tents and sleeping bags were high quality. I'm already looking at another trip with Follow Alice.

I've taken two trips with Follow Alice, both incredible. First in 2019 to Sardinia, and recently to Nepal, Everest Base Camp.

Follow Alice trips are very well organized, and allow you to focus yourselves. In the Himalayas, we were able to enjoy the views and focus on the experience instead of having the cognitive load of "where are we going to sleep? How much does this cost? Where do we buy poles and sticks?". Our guide, Angelou was incredible and helpful, and the trip itself was an unforgettable experience.

I would recommend signing up with Follow Alice to make this and any trip.

My friends and I have just come back from Uganda and this country have stolen out hearts.

They say that Uganda is the pearl of Africa but it wouldn’t have been the pearl of Africa without our guide Simon and all the team of follow Alice.

We just could spent one week but we would have liked to stay at least 10 days.

Everything was very well organized to get the most of our trip. (Thank you Michael, I know that it wasn’t easy)

Even if time was short we could do all activities that we wanted: rafting, chimpanzee habituation at Kibale forest, gorilla tracking at bwindi forest, night game drive and horseback safari at park national Mburo, ambare caves and falls.
We could also share our time doing some activities with people from different communities, it was a pleasure to learn so many thing about their way of living.

Thank you Simon for being so generous with us
and sharing and learning us so many things that we will never forget.

According to accommodations they had amazing views and services, all people from staff were adorable.

We will comme back for sure!

Thank you so much again

Fabulous!

Kilimanjaro was very challenging but Tony and the crew made sure we got up there!

Everyone was very experienced and professional. Thank you so much to the guides and porters that got up that mountain. An unforgettable experience! And do the Lemosho route! Believe the hype!

Asante Sana

We hiked the 8 day Lemosho route and it was just awesome!
It started with the whole booking experience, Justin (our trip manager) did a fantastic job. We got answers within minutes, always! And also the local team in Tanzania, everything was perfect and well organised, starting by the equipment we got and finished by the delicious food we got through the whole trip and everything in between.
The biggest thanks to the whole Follow Alice team for this once in a lifetime experience.

I could not thank enough the whole Follow Alice team for my recent Kilimanjaro trip, they are simply superb. I am truly touched with their kindness. Justin, our trip manager was very helpful with all pre-departure preparations. Not to mention, local team leader, Chris is a great leader; he is very transparent and sensitive about everything. He managed the team very efficiently. Everything was so perfect and well organised from Day 1. Am very glad I met all those beautiful people, Rama, William, Ricardo, Abed, Haz, Pascal, Justice, Pablo and Trevor. I will remember my trip to Kilimanjaro for the rest of my life.
