Legend Expeditions Anmeldelser 

I undertook the Toubkal trek with Jack and the Legend team, and it was a fantastic experience. The organisation, logistics and planning were spot on, from initial communications to the trek itself. On the mountain Jack and Mohammed were responsive to the needs of the individuals in the group, displaying the experience and confidence to tailor their level of assistance to each of us, to help us achieve what we had set out to do. Most of all the encouragement and sense of humour from the team (and the rest of the group) made the entire trip enormous fun.

Toubkal was my first mountain trek and I’m so glad I did it with Legend Expeditions. From the initial calls to discuss the trek through to actually completing it, I felt well informed and supported. I was nervous as I’ve never tried to do anything like this before but Jack and the team had everything covered. Always on hand to give advice, help and loads of encouragement, I was able to complete a challenge I didn’t think I would be capable of. Nothing was too much trouble and Jack and the team always made sure everything was in place and that I was happy and comfortable with everything. I’m already thinking of my next trek and I wouldn’t choose anyone else! If you are thinking of using Legend Expeditions for your next adventure, do it. You won’t be disappointed! I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Jack, Mohammed and the Legend team were nothing short of world-class on my solo trip to Toubkal! Everything from arrival, to the hike itself was incredibly thorough. Most of all though, we had an incredible group, fun leaders, and a trip of a lifetime. Thanks all - and look forward to the next one!

From the moment Jack met us at Marrakesh airport to our drop-off at the end of the trip, everything with Legend Expeditions was first class.

The experience with them started long before we even left the UK. Jack took time to meet us for coffee and talk us through the challenge, answering all our questions with patience and reassurance. The preparation emails in the weeks leading up were super clear, helpful, and made us feel totally ready and in the best hands.

Once in Morocco, it was even better than I could have imagined. Beautiful accommodation, thoughtful touches to put us at ease, and a genuine sense we were in safe hands.

The trek itself was a perfect mix of challenge, fun, and adventure. For me, it was tough at times - mostly because my fear of heights crept in - but Jack and local guide Brahime made it totally doable. Their good humour, encouragement, and calm, steady energy made all the difference, and I made it to the summit!

The 24 hours we spent in the desert after the climb was the perfect way to unwind - super peaceful, restorative, and just stunning! The accommodation and food were again absolutely first class.

What I also loved was how much the Legend team values and looks after their local crew. They’re clearly well-respected, well-paid, and genuinely proud to be part of it all. Being invited into our local mountain chef’s home for lunch after our descent was something really special and something I’ll never forget.

So many incredible memories and lots of laughs. Already thinking about a safari next... and there’s no way I’d go with anyone else.

Absolutely first class. Just do it!

I have recently completed the 3 peak challenge with Jack and his team. We were expertly guided up each mountain with lots of encouragement and help at hand when needed. The attention to detail is second to none. All our needs were catered for including water when needed and meals waiting for us when we had finished each climb. All we needed to do was jump back in the minibus and be driven to our next destination. If you want to take on a challenge, look no further than Legend Expeditions as Jack and his team really are the best.

What an experience! Jack put on a well organised experience for a small group of us from ETC to complete the 3 peak challenge. From the beginning to the end everything was perfectly executed. The team Jack had with him were great. At all times I felt safe and comfortable, the encouragement from Jack and the team was great. Would most definitely be booking my next adventure/ challenge with Legend Expedition.

Legend expeditions organised a faultless, bespoke adventure for a small team from our gym to the UK 3 Peaks. Every single detail was considered and planned to perfection. All you have to do is turn up and get climbing!!! They provide the transport, the food, the encouragement and the camaraderie!! The attention to detail was second to none. Even updating our family and friends with our progress so that we could concentrate on our challenge and rest between mountains. The Legends team Jack, Rory and Sam are very experienced and they make you feel confident and safe at all times. We were blessed with amazing weather, and the whole experience will stay with me forever. If you are looking to book an adventure, look no further than Legends expeditions. First class organisation, communication and delivery.

From start to finish I felt in safe hands. The professionalism & attention to detail was second to none. Everything was thought of in advance & all we had to do was climb the mountains. They even kept our family & friends informed of our progress through a WhatsApp group, which took away another worry for us. As hard as the challenge was, the Legends Team made it as easy as possible for us & even helped us have lots of fun. I can’t recommend them enough.

This was an incredible experience, put together by a very experienced team. The Legends team create something special right from the start, sending emails filled with mountain details including background and historic information. As a female I like to know I am safe and in good hands with people that are experienced and know what they are doing which is exactly what the Legend team delivered. Everything had been considered, from what to pack to our travel stops and pacing up the mountains.

The team led from the front and the back, ensuring no one was left behind or got too far ahead. We set off as a team and were able to finish as a team with the help of the Legends teams, giving support with bag carries or walking stick adjustments and lots of banter and motivation. The challenge was hard but the team kept us motivated and moving forward.
Would highly recommend and will be booking other adventures in the future. This is a highly experienced team that provides knowledge, support and fun throughout.
This has been one of my favourite adventures

Honestly if I could give the team more stars I would. Absolutely fantastic organisation from start to finish. We did the three peaks challenge and although it was tough the team made it so easy and dare I say even fun! It was everything, like setting up a family and friends WhatsApp group to keep everyone updated on our progress so we were able to focus on the challenge and not worry about letting everyone know how it was going or making sure there was food ready for as soon as we got off the mountain or keeping up morale when it was needed in the early hours of the morning and everything was hurting or ensuring we had the right kit or making sure we took in the views as we were going. I could go on but it really was fantastically arranged and I’m grateful that I could be part of a great event. Thank you!

We have just used Legend Expeditions for our trip to Morocco to climb Mount Toubkal. Jack came to meet us before the trip to go through our kit and we had calls to meet the rest of the group. Once on the ground in Marrakesh Jack organised a guide for the Medina and had many restaurant recommendations for us.

The hike itself was incredibly well organised from guides, food, the refuge(we had our own suite) kit and expertise. The climb was a real challenge but Jack was with us every step of the way. He even had spare kit if we needed it.

If you want to take on a challenge and have any doubt where to book then don’t hesitate to book with Legend Expeditions as Jack and the team really are the best and we’ll be planning our next adventure very soon with them.

Where to start! Perfection throughout. From initial conversations through to the end of the trip, Jack’s personalised service was excellent. Due to an injury I was unable to take part in the climb up Mount Toubkal but was adamant I wanted to travel. Jack put in place a series of alternatives to choose from without hesitation. I would strongly recommend travelling with Legend Expeditions and wouldn’t look elsewhere. Thank you.

I’ve been back for two weeks now, and I still cannot get over the amazing trip Legend Expeditions provided. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a bucket list item for many. When you start to gain into it, there is a lot to organise, and there is always a reason not to go on a trip like this – Legend Expeditions remove the stress of planning a Kilimanjaro Summit and do everything to help you enjoy the journey.

What is very visible on the mountain is how Legend treats their team, from climbers to porters as well as looking out for other teams. Jack (the guide and co-founder) would look out for the welfare of other climbers and porters, taking their load at times even when they were not from the same team. Legend’s ethos is very clear. It was great to see the passion for investing in their crew and the local economy.

Legend brings certain luxuries to the climb experience with camp beds, a great supply of fresh food, and even a shower. I was initially concerned that as a vegan I might have limited options, but the team cook went above and beyond to keep me well fuelled with a great variety of dishes. All this helps you enjoy the journey, which despite the luxuries will be challenging at times.

The Legend team builds a great supportive energy. I made new friends with fellow climbers by the time I reached the summit. We all pushed each other on and enjoyed seeing the sun rise as we approached the summit - a memory made for life.

I don’t think I would have been ready to leave Tanzania straight away and had also booked a Safari with Legend following the climb. I’d recommend even a one-day safari after the climb - some of our group got an evening flight after a day in Tarangire National Park.

Thank you (mighty mighty) Legend for a trip of a lifetime!

Myself and 30 other people did a sunrise hike up snowdon on the 15th march! We did this for the RFU injured players foundation and Jack came with us. Everyone has said how amazing he was and how much support he gave everyone. He kept people going and kept positive vibes all around.

Jack you were amazing, thank you for everything you did for us and we appreciated you massively, thank you for getting involved and having a laugh with everyone. We can all throughly say we loved you!

Our safari in Tanzania with Legend Expeditions was absolutely incredible - an experience of a lifetime! The scenery was beyond breathtaking, and everything about the trip was seamless, thanks to Jack, the owner of Legend Expeditions and our safari guide, Magoma 🦁

We had already booked our Kilimanjaro climb with another company before we knew about Legend Expeditions, but honestly, we wish we had booked with Jack!

Even before we arrived, Jack went above and beyond, speaking with us on calls while we were still in the UK to ensure we were fully prepared. He gave us invaluable advice on kit, what to expect on the climb, and logistics, making sure every detail was covered. When we landed, he personally picked us up from the airport, which set the tone for how supportive and knowledgeable he was throughout our trip.

Despite not being responsible for our climb, he was unbelievably helpful - when Heathrow Airport lost one of our bags (not what you need before a big climb!), Jack stepped in immediately, sorting out all the necessary kit so we could still go ahead without stress. Even while we were on the mountain, our plans unexpectedly changed, and Jack helped with our plans to make sure our trip went as smoothly as possible. His level of support was simply unmatched!

Now onto the safari itself - absolutely insane! We did a three-day safari covering Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara, and it was absolutely EPIC. Our guide, Magoma, was brilliant - so knowledgeable about the animals, a great laugh, and he made sure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him (plus getting very lucky), we saw the Big Five, plus hippos, zebras, mongoose, an owl, and so much more 🐘🦁🦏🐆🦒🦓🦩🦛

The accommodation during the safari was stunning, with breathtaking views, amazing food, and a friendly team that made us feel so welcome. Every detail was taken care of, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

One thing that really stood out to us about Legend Expeditions was their ethical approach. Jack genuinely cares about his team and ensures his local staff are paid fairly and treated well - something that, unfortunately, isn’t always the case with other operators as we experienced. Knowing that our trip was directly supporting people who are valued and properly compensated for their hard work made the experience even more special. It’s clear that Jack runs his business with integrity, and it felt great to be part of that.

If you’re considering a safari or Kilimanjaro trip, I cannot recommend Legend Expeditions highly enough. The customer experience was seamless from start to finish, and having expert advice in a new country is invaluable. Huge thanks to Jack and his team for making our trip so unforgettable! 😊

Having just completed both the Lemosho route to summit Kilimanjaro and a 3-day safari, I can confidently say that Jack and the team at Legend Expeditions far surpassed my expectations.

THE LEMOSHO ROUTE

The Lemosho route was described to me as the most scenic path up Kilimanjaro, and Legend Expeditions ensured we experienced every breathtaking moment.

What set this expedition apart:

Expert Guides: Jack, Nelson and Jackson have, combined, summited Kilimanjaro over 200 times yet maintained genuine enthusiasm and passion. Their knowledge of the mountain's geology, weather patterns, and history transformed a challenging trek into an educational journey.

Safety First: Daily health checks, oxygen saturation monitoring, and honest assessments of our condition made us feel secure even as we pushed above 5000m.

Comfort elements: Having larger tents, cot beds, private toilets and even a shower made a huge difference to the overall comfort of the trip. This allowed us all to really thrive on the mountain rather than just surviving!

Incredible Support Team: The porters—were personal, professional, friendly, and seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. The respect and fair treatment Legend shows their staff was evident. This extended to ensuring that members of other teams were okay when they could be seen to be struggling.

Summit Success: The summit push began at midnight, and despite the physical demands, our guides' encouragement and strategic rest breaks got our entire group to Uhuru Peak for a spectacular sunrise. Standing at the Roof of Africa as dawn broke across the continent was spectacular.

3-DAY SAFARI: TANZANIA'S NORTHERN CIRCUIT

After Kilimanjaro, Legend Expeditions delivered an equally impressive safari through Tanzania's premier parks:

Tarangire National Park:
A midnight blowing first day - from herds of elephants moving among baobab trees to seeing a Jaguar, created unforgettable scenes. Magoma and Jack's expertise revealed hidden wildlife moments most visitors miss.

Ngorongoro Crater: This natural wildlife enclosure offered incredible density and diversity. Within hours, we spotted lions, rhinos, and countless other species.

Lake Manyara: Compact but vibrant, this park delivered remarkable sightings including plenty of bird life. The lush forest provided a refreshing contrast to the other parks.

Throughout all three locations, Magoma, our guide demonstrated exceptional knowledge, anticipating animal movements and sharing fascinating insights about wildlife behavior. The accommodations struck the perfect balance between comfort and authentic safari experience, while the seamless logistics between parks maximized our wildlife viewing time.

WHY I WOULD CHOOSE LEGEND EXPEDITIONS AGAIN

What ultimately distinguished Legend Expeditions was their attention to detail and genuine care:

Personalization: Rather than a cookie-cutter itinerary, they tailored both the climb and safari to our interests and abilities.

Local Knowledge: The cultural insights our Tanzanian guides shared gave us a deeper appreciation of this beautiful country beyond just its natural wonders.

Value: While not the cheapest option, the quality of the experience, equipment, safety measures, and guides made this an investment in memories that will last a lifetime.

Seamless Logistics: From airport pickups to transfers between adventures, every detail was handled professionally. Not once did we feel uncertain about what was happening next.

For anyone considering tackling Kilimanjaro or experiencing the wonders of an East African safari, I cannot recommend Legend Expeditions highly enough.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Legend Expeditions was hands-down one of the best experiences of my life. We did the Lemosho route over eight days, and while that’s a long time to be on the mountain, we couldn’t have picked a better company to go with.

Jack was amazing.. his ability to speak Swahili made everything run so smoothly, and he always made us feel super safe. The whole team was incredible, and it was obvious how well they were looked after, which made a huge difference.

The little details really stood out. We had stand-up tents and cot beds, so we didn’t feel like we were roughing it too much, plus there were even hot showers, which felt like luxury at the end of a long day.

The group dynamic was another highlight, thanks to Legend Expeditions, the other people on the tour have become lifelong friends. It’s not just the climb; it’s the laughs, the shared moments, and the feeling that you’re all in it together.

If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro, go with Legend Expeditions. They’re the best, and they’ll make sure your trip is safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough!✨🏕️

Unforgettable, Five-Star Experience with Legend Expeditions

I recently had the pleasure of climbing Kilimanjaro with Legend Expeditions. Myself and my best friend, managed to summit and chose the 8 day Lemosho route.

If you’re looking for the ultimate camping adventure that blends luxury, safety, and a truly personal touch, look no further than Legend Expeditions, run by the incredible Jack. From the moment we landed to the minute we left, every single detail was meticulously planned, making this one of the most seamless and well-organized trips we’ve ever taken.

Luxury Meets the Wilderness

Camping with Legend Expeditions is nothing short of premium. Forget roughing it on the mountain. Jack has thought of everything! The comfortable cots, clean and private showers, and even toilets made our stay feel more like glamping than traditional camping. After long day of adventure, being able to freshen up in a proper shower and sleep on a sturdy cot, in a private tent was a game-changer.

Safety First, Always

One of our biggest concerns before booking was safety, but Jack and his team exceeded all expectations. From expertly maintained equipment to well-thought-out campsite locations, we always felt completely secure. Whether it was guidance on local wildlife or ensuring the campsite was always well-lit and properly set up, Jack’s experience and attention to detail were evident throughout.

A Personal Touch Like No Other

What truly set this trip apart was the care and thoughtfulness Jack put into every step of our journey. Leading up to the trip, we received personalized emails with useful tips, packing lists, and a warm welcome that made us feel excited and prepared. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a personalized note—a small but meaningful touch that showed just how much Legend .

Fluent in Swahili – A Huge Bonus!

Jack’s ability to speak fluent Swahili added an entirely new level of immersion to our experience. Whether it was engaging with local guides, ensuring smooth logistics, or just sharing fascinating cultural insights, his language skills made everything feel even more authentic and connected.

Effortless from Start to Finish

From the moment we stepped off the plane, every aspect of our trip was covered—transport, meals, accommodations, and even those small details that most tour operators overlook. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, allowing us to simply enjoy the adventure.

This expedition was nothing short of perfect. We opted also to do the 1 day safari afterwards, which Jack lead and organised also. Saw so many animals , even the leopard and a rare orynx.
I would recommend Legend Expeditions to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro. You will regret it if you don’t.

I had the pleasure of summitting Mount Kilimanjaro with Jack and the rest of the crew from Legend Expeditions in February 2025, following in my fathers footsteps (he passed away last year) from when he lived in Africa.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The reviews of Legend Expeditions are wholly justified. I had the trip of a lifetime and every part of it was meticulously planned, thoroughly enjoyable, and an amazing adventure.

Jack went out of his way to arrange a pre-climb visit to an orphanage, a trip around town (where he seemed to know everyone), and a world class safari at the end of it. Speaking fluent Swahili added another level of fun to the trip. The banter on the mountain was 10x more enjoyable because of it. Jack is one popular figure on the mountain, that's for sure.

The wider support team on the mountain are also very special, they truly love and respect Jack. This rubs off in subtle ways throughout the climb. We weren't kept at arms length from the support team, we were encouraged to integrate and socialise with them, and I loved that. Shout outs to our Tanzanian guide Nelson, camp manager Pascal, head chef Elias, Tottenham supporter Hussein, and Julius who was always on hand to make sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful 8 days on the mountain. And I can't leave out the "Chupy" hunter Jackson either!!

I struggled with the final summit, but the assurance and support from Jack, Makuza (thanks for carrying my bag fella!) and Nelson got me to the top. I couldn't have done it without them!

All in all, an unforgettable experience. I can see Legend Expeditions doing great things in the future!

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Legend Expeditions was simply unbelievable. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, well thought out, and beyond expectations.

Jack and his team were unreal. He speaks fluent Swahili, knows everything about the mountain, and went above and beyond—not just for us, but for other teams, porters, and trekkers along the way. You can tell he genuinely cares about people’s success and experience.

The comfort levels were unmatched. We had:
On-route coffee stops
A private portable toilet
A hot shower at the warmer camps (which shocked other climbers!)
Top-quality tents and equipment

That said, this is still one of the Seven Summits. It’s a mountain climb—humbling, challenging, and rewarding. No level of comfort can take away the reality that Kilimanjaro demands respect, but with Legend, you truly feel like you can conquer it.

The porters and guides were fantastic, quick, strong, and experienced, easily the best team on the mountain. And the cook? Outstanding! Every meal was a perfect mix of African flavours and western-style nutrition, keeping us fuelled for the trek.

The Legend team literally coached us to the summit, making sure we enjoyed the process, not just the goal to summit. Nothing was forgotten, left out, or not arranged. Many other hikers were genuinely surprised at the comfort and ease we had compared to their own experiences.

The climb itself was everything you’d expect from a trip like this, exciting, humbling, physically demanding, and emotionally rewarding. It tests you, pushes you, and gives you a deep sense of achievement when you stand at Uhuru Peak.

For the value and experience, I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than Legend Expeditions. They take care of everything, so you can just focus on the adventure. If you’re considering Kilimanjaro, don’t look anywhere else, this is the team you want!

We hit the summit on 13th February 2025!
