Testimonials
What our clients say
From summit days on Kilimanjaro to the last game drive, this is what our guests remember.
★★★★★
We had an awesome time. Mary was waiting for us at the gate on the last day. She had travelled about 8 hours from Kenya to meet us! We were very happy to let her know that all three of us were able to successfully summit. John and his crew are really awesome and they were all genuinely looking out for us and took excellent care of us.
★★★★★
Nine friends and I travelled to Tanzania in December 2024 to trek Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro. All 10 of us made it to the top of both mountains, which we attribute to the extraordinarily good work by the team of guides and porters. Based on our experience I can strongly recommend Standout Adventures as an excellent value and a solid operation.
★★★★★
My partner and I booked a tour with Mary and had a wonderful experience both with the pre-booking and the actual tour. They are extremely efficient, and attention to detail is second to none. The guides and porters are very attentive and knowledgeable, and I was amazed at what they could prepare for meals high up on the mountain.
