Overview of your Nairobi tour

Crowned by an eternal snow-cap, Mt. Kilimanjaro is situated inside the Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania; it is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain on earth. Kilimanjaro is very popular with both experienced hikers and first time adventurers because it is considered to be the easiest of the seven summits. Scaling the mountain requires no technical skills or equipment, such as rope, harness, crampons or ice axe. Therefore, it is a hiking or "walk up" peak, not a mountaineering or climbing peak. Many travelers are attracted to the highest point in Africa - uhuru peak Kibo (19, 340'/5, 895m) Mawenzi (16, 893'/5, 149m) Shira (13, 000'/3, 962m) I am highly informed, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, great in planning and organization of your tour. I have travelled and taken travellers around this region for a long time, and I look forward to being your guide!

Dunstan was a very friendly and responsive co-ordinator. He assisted us in achieving our desire for a non- traditional route. Some communications issues arose in the transfer from Dunstan to the guide who actually took us into the park. A reminder to ensure that close and detailed communication is maintained. Tipping can be a source of tension at the end of the trek, especially if conflicting expectations arise All in all though we had a great trip and our thanks go to Dunstan

This is our second time using Dunstan and TBL for our unique college study abroad program to East Africa and Mt. Kilimanjaro and like the first time, they exceeded expectations. As an academically accredited college program in Outdoor Recreation Leadership, our students are trained to work as guides and leaders in the outdoor field. Dunstan is a brilliant logistics coordinator and guide and an excellent addition to our instruction team. Thank you Dunstan!

Dunstan was incredible. His organization and planning were excellent, especially considering this was a complicated college study abroad program including students and faculty, multiple activities and multiple countries. Dunstan also did a wonderful job hiring additional guides, etc. for our time on Mt. Kilimanjaro and on safari. The people he chose were competent and great to be around. We also want to thank Tours By Locals for their wonderful service. They contributed to making this program a success.
