Hi there, my name is Matt, im 37 and from the UK, wanting to do a kili trip end of this year or beginning of next with maybe a safari to finish it off depending on costs, have found a few companies that do it all for you but at a greater expense, or theres the option of arranging yourself and posssibly getting abetter deal, seems like numbers of people make a differnce in costs and fun, so wondered if anyone else was interested in doing a similar trip, chat soon.

Hi Matt

I'm thinking of going in January some time. I'm still researching my options but am currently looking to either join up with a group or get a bunch of people to go with me. I'm 28 and based in London. Where are you based?

I could be open to a January trip too. Love to be kept in the loop. 51 year old dude from California.

Hi there Michelle and Ron

Just to let you know where I am, im also looking to go away in January, I was looking at doing either a Kili climb or safari or both depending on cost, have looked on the internet at all the options, seems there are three, fly out there then arrange it all from there, book the climb from home and then make your way out there or go with a company that does it all for you, they all have there advantages and disadvantages as far as i can see, my thinking was if enough people were interested we could contact a company and get the best price possible, there are lots of holiday companies out there, some good and some bad from what i hear, i have picked out three from what people have said on the internet, Michelle im from Southampton in Hampshire.

So how would you guys want to go about it, open to all suggestions, i think the more people the better, hopefully chat soon, I think also trips get booked up in some advance, hope to hear from any others interested as well.

Matt

Hi Matt

Thanks for your reply. I was really keen on January but a friend of mine really wants to go a bit later so am now looking at June. It feels ages away but at least that will give me more time to plan and save up. Definitely want to do the safari option and maybe even Zanzibar too. Anyone thinking that's a good time please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Mame and my wife intend to go in Kenya, Mombasa in January and i will very much like to try the Kilimanjaro climbing.I think i will take a plane from London Gatwick so if anyone else is interested i think it will be a trip to remember

Hi, my name is Fred, 28, I’m French living in Namibia. I would like to climb the Kili (I’m thinking about the Machame route in 7 days), around the last weeks of January, beginning of February 2010.
So let me know if you’re interested in sharing this unforgettable experience and also trying to get a better deal.

I have four of my friends who will be going with Africa Veterans (a safari company in Kenya).If you want to join them,they will be using machane route and will cost them USD 1450 PER PERSON for climbing and the transport cost from Kenya back to Kenya.If you want,I can give you their email addresses.All of them are from USA.happy climbing buddies.
