I contacted many top agencies, but Bush Lion, owned by Jackson, gave me the best price and was super responsive.Before the climb, Jackson and my guide Innocent met me at my hotel. They checked my gear and gave me a full briefing on what to expect. Innocent, along with the cook and the porters, played a huge role in helping me get to the top of Uhuru Peak and back safely. Every day, I had delicious meals, and Innocent always made sure to check my health and oxygen levels before bed.The porters went above and beyond. After setting up camp, they would walk back hours to carry my small bag while I was still on the trail. When I was coming down from the peak, they even climbed up to greet me with fresh juice and helped carry me for the last part of the descent because my knees were hurting.I’m really grateful for all their support. Their main goal is to make sure clients reach the summit safely and successfully.
