Legend Expeditions Anmeldelser 

Trying to get a group of people of varying abilities to cycle and run from Glasgow to Banbury is not easy task but the team from Legend Expeditions pulled it off flawlessly. From start to finish Jack and Jack made it an absolute joy. From planning routes to making on the spot changes due to conditions to keeping bikes and people in workable condition nothing was every too much for them . We couldn’t have asked for two more experienced or personable characters to lead our quest. They alway knew the right thing to say in any given situation whither pushing us on or handing out motivation and their boundless enthusiasm is infectious.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend Legend Expeditions, they create not just memories but experiences . They are simply Committed to Excellence

Jack at Legend Expeditions made our Glasgow-to-Banbury challenge, in aid of Katharine House Hospice, an unforgettable experience.

He didn’t just support us - he became part of the team, encouraging everybody every step of the way, adapting to each individual’s needs, and creating an environment where we all thrived. Jack’s leadership and attention to detail built trust from the outset and he knew how to bring the best out in everyone.

I know myself and my colleagues found it one of the most rewarding and enjoyable team experiences we’ve had and it became far bigger than raising funds for the hospice. From turning a crazy idea into reality to helping us hit our fundraising goal, Jack and his colleague Jack delivered far more than we could have hoped for.

If you’re looking for a company to trust with a challenge, no matter how big or small, Legend Expeditions should be your go to. They truly exceeded every expectation and created memories for us to last a lifetime 💫

I can’t say enough good things about Legend Expeditions! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible. Their attention to detail was second to none, and they made sure safety was always the top priority. But what really set them apart was their ability to bring out the best in everyone and push us to new levels of resilience. I can honestly say I felt supported every step of the way.

A huge thank you to Jack Fleckney of Legend Expeditions for being such an outstanding guide and an all-around amazing individual. You could tell that Jack really cared about the experience and wanted us to succeed. Also, shoutout to Jack AstonHull – this guy brought so much energy and positivity to the entire expedition. Even during the toughest parts, we never stopped laughing and having a great time.

For such a physically demanding challenge, I truly didn’t expect to have so much fun. This ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. If you’re considering an expedition, do not hesitate to go with Legend Expeditions. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.

I challenged Jack Fleckney with helping me to create a charity fundraising challenge, to get me & my team from Glasgow to Banbury on foot, or cycle, or kayak, to raise money for our local hospice. He absolutely smashed it. What I didn’t realise at the time of asking, is that it would appear there is very little, if anything, that Jack cannot do. He’s incredible at leading others, making people feel safe & always welcome and included, but also focused on achieving the goal and getting the job done. Having spent the last week with him and his colleague Jack, I can safely say I’d follow them anywhere. If you’re looking for an adventure or expedition, choose Legend Expeditions and you’ll be in safe hands. You’ll have the best time, creating memories with top people by your side. Could not recommend more highly.

Last week we completed the challenge of running & cycling from Glasgow to Banbury for charity. Jack & Jack led the whole week & were simply incredible.

Not only did they enable this challenge to take place by planning everything & keeping us safe during the whole week, they are just the nicest people in the world & not only will we use them in future for expeditions & challenges, we can now call them friends!

I could not recommend using Legend Expeditions enough & if you’re thinking about working with them, just do it!

You will not regret it!

After such an amazing trip to Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro it was a very easy decision to climb Toubkal with legend Expeditions. Again the attention to detail and the constant support from the first chat, to booking and of course the climb itself was exemplary.

Our stay in Marrakesh initially was amazing, visiting the Souks and experiencing traditional food and entertainment was a great way to start our adventure.

This climb was a totally new experience for me having never used crampons or an ice axe, and at times, way out of my comfort zone. Sam could not have been more supportive or aware of this and was with me every step of the way making it an incredibly enjoyable experience whilst ensuring our safety at all times. Summiting Toubkal was a fabulous experience and one I would highly recommend – whatever your climbing experience! After 3 days in the Atlas mountains we had our stay in the Desert which was fabulous, the sunset and sunrise where breath taking along with a camel ride, amazing food and spectacular scenery.

I would whole heartedly recommend this expedition to anyone wanting to try something a little different. I would also, without hesitation, recommend Legend Expeditions to anyone.

We will be booking more trips with Legend Expeditions in the future!

Legend Expeditions deserves more than 5 stars! Jack Fleckney was absolutely incredible—his skills, leadership, and attention to detail were unmatched, and he made sure we felt safe every step of the way. This wasn’t his usual expedition, but nothing is too small or too great for him, and he absolutely delivered beyond expectations. A massive shoutout to Dudders too (Jack - Astonhulls adventure) who went above and beyond to look after everyone, with his skills, experience and energy, he absolutely smashed it. The whole team was amazing—just the loveliest group of people to share such an unforgettable experience with. It was hands down the best week ever, all for an incredible charity. We really couldn’t have done it without them! If you’re considering an adventure, I highly recommend these guys for anything. They’re a pleasure to be around and make anything seem possible. Thank you so much for everything!

Where to begin?! I don’t have enough good things to say about Legend Expeditions and the exceptional team of Jack and Sam. From the outset, Jack made the team feel relaxed, excited and well-taken care of. Everything is extremely well organised (transport, accommodation, airport and tour transfers) and communication with Jack and Sam leading up to the trip was great - both were super responsive and very helpful. Even when I wasn’t able to attend group planning calls prior to departure, Jack made sure to make himself available for individual calls so that I felt prepared and could ask any questions. Jack was also constantly available during our travel to Tanzania and quickly readjusted pickup and transit times when my flight was delayed and a subsequent flight leg needed to be re-booked.

From the moment we touched down in Tanzania, we continued to be expertly looked after. Upon arrival, Jack individually ran through our gear with us to make sure we were adequately prepared, and additional gear was available to rent if we were missing anything. The trek itself was incredible - stunningly beautiful, challenging and extremely rewarding. Delicious meals and snacks throughout the trip kept us well-fuelled, and Jack and Sam kept our family and friends back home up-to-date on our itinerary and progress. The local team that Jack and Sam have curated - the guides, porters, chefs and the rest of the team - are truly incredible and felt like a supportive family by the end of the trip. Jack’s infectious personality and enthusiasm for Tanzania and Kilimanjaro (and life generally!) brought everyone together and motivated the team through the harder parts of the climb - in particular, the difficult summit day!

I would HIGHLY recommend Legend Expeditions and would definitely book another trip with the team in the future! Thank you again!

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Legends Team was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the entire journey was nothing short of extraordinary. The professionalism and expertise of the Legends Team made every step of the climb feel safe, enjoyable, and memorable. Their knowledge of the mountain, combined with their genuine care for our well-being, ensured that we could focus on the awe-inspiring scenery and the immense personal achievement of reaching the summit.

The team’s camaraderie, encouragement, and leadership made even the most challenging moments feel manageable. They provided exceptional support in every way, from meticulously planned meals to constant check-ins, ensuring that everyone was well-prepared and energized throughout the trek.

And of course, summiting Kili—the "Roof of Africa"—was an emotional moment, one I’ll carry with me forever. It’s not just about reaching the top; it’s about the incredible people you meet along the way, the breathtaking landscapes, and the personal growth you experience. I feel so grateful to have had the chance to do this with Legends Team, whose passion and dedication made it all possible. If you're thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro, this team is the one to trust. Truly unforgettable!

I met Jack in a zoom meeting for a group that I was part of climbing Kilimanjaro with a different company for charity. Jack was giving us all valuable insight into what we could expect on our adventure, even though we were not going with Legend Expeditions that, to me, speaks volumes about a persons character and integrity, going above and beyond!
Jack welcomed us all to contact him should he be able to assist any of us further. I did just this when I decided I would like to go on safari after my climb, which was only a few weeks away! This was not a problem for Legend Expeditions, my solo safari was organised swiftly, cost effectively and tailored to me.

I was collected from my hotel by Jackson and Chris:

Day 1: Lake Manyara
Day2: Ngorongoro Crater
Day 3: Tarangire National Park

Lady Luck was shining on me because I saw all of the top big 5, leopard, rhino, lion, African elephants and buffalo as well as lions mating, hippo's, velvet monkeys, hartara ibis, sacred ibis, baboons, grey headed kingfisher, warthogs, dik dik, impala, bush buck, herons, egrets, storks, lesser and greater flamingos, red billed horn bill, fish eagle, grant gazelle, egyptian goose, guinea fowl, western wildebeest, thompson gazelle, hyena, ostrich, jekyllswater buck, steppe eagle, rock hyra, marshall eagle, eastern wildebeest, bare faced go away birds mating and three lionesses who had just killed a zebra for their three cubs!!! To name a few!!!
ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!!!

Both lodges that Jack had arranged for me were wonderful! Service, amenities, pool and staff all 5 star, nothing was too much bother and I felt safe and secure as a lone traveller at all times.

Chris my guide was knowledgeable, friendly, witty and happy! A great host!

Jackson came to pick me up in the middle of the night to personally take me to the airport, what fabulous service!!

Jack kept in constant contact with me prior to me leaving the UK, whilst I climbed Kili and on safari, this level of communication was beyond my expectation! and we have kept in touch afterwards because I will certainly be going on another adventure with them!

If I could give more than a 5 star review I would for Legend Expeditions!!

I highly recommend them for all your forthcoming adventures!!!

Where to start? This trip to Kilimanjaro followed by a safari has been one of the most enjoyable and challenging of my life! When Jack came to our gym to present the trip I was inspired by the clarity and detail of the expedition and as I had spent my early childhood in East Africa it became a no-brainer.
The trip lived up to and beyond all expectations, the preparation, the support, every detail was addressed. It is a tough climb but thoroughly enjoyable with the fantastic team supporting and motivating us, pole pole, hakuna matata!
Thank you Jack, Sam, Legend expeditions. Thank you too to all our fellow climbers who made us laugh our socks off!
I cannot recommend Legend expeditions highly enough, Asante sana!

From the outset Jack and Sam make you feel totally relaxed about the task at hand. Never further than a call, text or email away. No question was too small and was dealt with in a speedy and effective manner. I had climbed Kilimanjaro before and wanted my partner and I to experience it together. I could see instantly how differently Legend operated. With the previous company all communication was by email alone and I met none of the team or climbers until I landed at Kilimanjaro airport.
Before we had even signed up to the expedition we had had a face-to-face meeting with Jack for coffee. This personal treatment ran right through the expedition from beginning to end. Nearer to the departure date we had the opportunity to facetime with the rest of the climbers. This not only gave you the opportunity to see the people you would be spending the expedition with, but to hear questions you may not have even thought about.
Legends ethos of treating and paying their Tanzanian guides and porters a fair wage can be seen when you meet them. Always happy and smiling where nothing is too much trouble.
We found the food on the mountain to be of an excellent standard. Although some of our group were vegetarian or had food intolerances. They were all catered for.
I would whole heartedly recommend adding the safari package on to your trip. The knowledge of the Legend team on locating and explaining about the animals is second to none. The accommodation and catering were also excellent.
As you may have gleamed from my review, I cannot recommend this company enough. So, stop squirreling your money away or pandering to doubt and get signed up for the next climb. I guarantee you will not regret using Legend.

I recently completed a trek to Mount Kilimanjaro with Legend Expeditions, and I can confidently say it was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of my life. From the very beginning, their professionalism was evident. Every detail was meticulously planned, from our gear checks to the daily briefings, making sure we were fully prepared for the challenges ahead.

The guides were not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, ensuring that each member of the group felt comfortable and confident throughout the trek. Their attention to safety was top-notch, constantly monitoring our health and acclimatisation, which gave us peace of mind as we ascended the mountain.

What really stood out was the small details that made the experience so special. Whether it was a surprise snack after a long day’s trek, or the way they managed to keep everyone’s spirits high with their infectious enthusiasm, Legend Expeditions went above and beyond to make this journey both pleasurable and unforgettable.

If you're looking for a company that combines professionalism with a deep passion for adventure, I would highly recommend Legend Expeditions for your Kilimanjaro expedition. They made every moment enjoyable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to take me to the summit!

What a wonderful, amazing adventure we had. All our questions and queries all answered by Sam and Jack before the trip and weekly updates and info running up to our departure date. From arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport until our departure two weeks later, Jack and his team were always there to help and guide us on our way. I cannot speak highly enough of how professional, organized and friendly the team is. Nothing was too much trouble.
Jack has so much experience in the country and with other expeditions, speaking Swahili, and having a dedicated team of guides, porters, cooks etc.
From updates to family and friends whilst we were climbing, to all our needs whilst on the mountain.
The three day Safari was also amazing!
A big thank you to Jack, Sam and team!
Would 100% recommend Legend Expeditions!

Best compliment I can give Legend Expeditions is that I'd struggle to even consider another company for future adventures.

Everything is planned down to the finest detail so as to reduce as much responsibility as possible on you as a client. Clearly they can't carry you to the top of the mountain, but they'll do everything in their power to give you the opportunity to get there. It was clear on Kilimanjaro that Legend are the most professional, organised, and fun team on the mountain, as well as the safari park afterwards.

Can't recommend Jack and the team highly enough.

Kilimanjaro & Safari Sept/Oct 2024
From the very outset of meeting Legend Expeditions, it was clear they were the perfect choice for this epic adventure.

Their attention to detail is impeccable—you feel like your trip is their sole focus. It quickly becomes clear that Legend has earned enormous respect from their crew, the local Tanzanian community, and everyone they encounter. Sam works tirelessly behind the scenes, managing logistics with precision, while Jack, at the forefront, is nothing short of legendary. With the strength and presence of “Thor” himself, Jack speaks Swahili fluently, effortlessly connecting with locals. He leads his crew with skill, empathy, and tireless energy, always keeping a watchful eye on everyone around him. It’s hard to imagine he ever rests.

The Kilimanjaro climb was undeniably challenging, but the team at Legend never let us lose heart. Every step of the way, they offered unwavering encouragement, building up our confidence and reminding us that we had the strength to reach the summit. They managed the fine balance between pushing us to our limits and making us believe in ourselves, transforming what felt impossible into a shared victory. Their belief in us made all the difference.

The safari was beyond exceptional—truly mesmerising.
It wasn’t just about seeing the wildlife; it felt like we were living a David Attenborough documentary. Jack and the team shared fascinating details about the animals and their environments, offering knowledge that went far beyond the surface. Every moment was filled with awe, from watching a lion on the hunt to the peaceful beauty of a herd of elephants at sunset. The insight and passion with which they shared these experiences made it unforgettable.

From booking to departure, every detail was meticulously planned. If you’re looking for an adventure of a lifetime, you won’t regret booking with Legend Expeditions

Jack and his team go above and beyond to ensure the experience is unforgettable! Every individual was looked after and catered for, and the experience itself was amazing. I can't recommend legend expeditions enough, for whatever adventure you chose it will be the be above and beyond what you could expect.

Travelled to Tanzania with Legends to climb Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a 3-day Safari. Thanks to Jack and the team for a fantastic trip.

The organisation and guidance was immense from start to finish. Receiving an in-depth kit list, pre-trip video calls and flight recommendations ensured the group was fully prepared and removed all stress. Additionally weekly emails prior to and daily briefings during the trip gave full sight of what to expect and some local geography and history understanding.

Kilimanjaro and Tanzania itself are surreal, a fantastic range of beautiful landscapes and scenery. Huge appreciation for the local guides and wider team, all made a massive effort to share their knowledge and display their culture/region. Also the airport pickup and drop off by the guides themselves.

Would highly recommend Legends and looking to book another expedition with the team in 2025. A very apt company name!

Had the pleasure of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro with Jack and the Legend Expedition team in August!

The trip was extremely well planned by the team! Every small detail was covered! Jack and his team made you feel very at ease throughout the whole experience which allowed us enjoy every minute of it!

I would definitely recommend Legend Expeditions to anyone planning a trip!

My Kilimanjaro trip with Legend Expeditions was exceptional. Jack and Sam did an amazing job organizing every aspect and looking after us - this started the day we expressed interest in the trip through to the flight home. They took care of so many small details behind the scenes - managing flight issues, equipment rental, menus for meals, communicating with families and friends throughout the hike.

The hike itself was stunningly beautiful and challenging but manageable. The local Tanzanian team of guides, porters, cooks and others were kind, supportive and added a local culture that made the experience really special. Jack was also incredibly motivating at the most difficult moments.

I would sign up for any trip organized by Legend Expeditions and couldn’t recommend this team more highly.
