All praise, all thanks, all gratefulness go to the guides and mountain crew of my 9 day Lemosho Route trek of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Without the crew who accompanied me and my two friends, the experience would have never been the life changing experience that it was. Our Guides Joeli, Abraham and George were INCREDIBLE. Knowledgeable, patient, fun-loving, energetic and inspiring. All three of us summited the mountain. We all arrived at different times, but we did it! It took me 12 hours to reach Uhuru. Without Joeli, Abraham and George, that wouldn't have been possible. They were so supportive every step of the way. They challenged us to stay mentally strong and to always go "pole, pole". And when we made progress, no matter how small, they always praised us and thanked us for moving forward.
