Thank you Kelly Paras for sharing your climbing experience with us. Bariki, the owner and founder of One World Safaris has climbed Kilimanjaro 29 times, every time has been hard, different but always amazing.
29 times is a lot, but nothing compared to our crew that climb Kilimanjaro weekly. Most of them have been working with us from the beginning and by now I´m sure they lost count on the number of times they made it to the summit.
On every climb they go out of their way to get our guests to the top. They know that 99% of making it to the summit is mental, so they will sing for you, encourage you, carry your bag if needed, remind you to drink water, remind you to rest, everything just to give you the boost to make it to the summit.
Every year we show many guests our beautiful country and we are thankful that you want to experience it. This would not be possible with out the amazing One World team, I´m greatful that you give it your all on every climb and on every safari. Ahsanteni sana!
