Posted on kevinrscottVerified Cannot Say Enough about ETA!!! I truly cannot say enough good things about Explore Trekking Adventures and Martin’s entire team. From start to finish, this was one of the most incredible and a life-changing experience.Climbing Kilimanjaro is no small undertaking, and the professionalism, knowledge, and preparation of this team were evident every single day. They were extraordinarily organized, safety-focused, and deeply experienced. I always felt supported and confident in their guidance. Their expertise on the mountain — from pacing and acclimatization to encouragement on summit night — made all the difference.Beyond their skill and professionalism, what truly sets this company apart is the people. The entire team was patient, kind, and unbelievably fun. They created an atmosphere of camaraderie and positivity that carried us through every challenge. There was constant encouragement, laughter, and genuine care. They were invested in our success and well-being in a way that went far beyond expectations.Martin leads an exceptional group. His integrity, leadership, and attention to detail are reflected in every member of the crew. You can tell this is not just a business...it’s something they deeply believe in.Whether you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro or go on safari in Tanzania, I would recommend Explore Trekking Adventures without hesitation. They will always be my go-to team in Tanzania. Five stars are not enough.Posted on Jessica RVerified January Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek via Machame Route I had an amazing experience with Explore Trekking Adventures on a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Their team was nothing but amazing, from working out last minute travel logistics to caring for us on the mountain. Martin and his team are truly an exceptional group. I will absolutely be coming back to book one of their safari trips!Posted on Benjamin VVerified Exceptional Team for a Great Experience with Explore Trekking Adventure With Martin at the helm of Explore Trekking Adventure, this is a great option to achieve the ascent of Kilimanjaro and any other activities in Tanzania. We were able to reach the summit of Kili via Umbwe in 6 days; each day was remarkable thanks to an exceptional support: porters, chef, waiter, qualified guides... It was a human adventure with a rigorous and experienced team whose only objective and to make you live a beautiful experience coaching, health monitoring, .... Martin’s strength, through his background in education around tourism in Tanzania is his ability to recruit the right people to form a Great Team that will do everything to allow you to achieve your dream, as a couple, with family or with friends, in a quality atmosphere, far from the expeditions punctuated by marketing.One team, One Dream! A word of advice: do not prepare your ascent of Kilimanjaro without contacting Martin, Explore Trekking Adventure.Good preparation and great adventure!!Posted on gabriel tVerified Amazing, humbling adventure I cannot say enough positive things about this trip. I never anticipated the depth of emotion I experienced during it, continue to feel upon my return, and will likely carry with me for years to come. To imagine such a rich and meaningful collection of experiences compressed into so few days is truly remarkable.The care, confidence, compassion, and competence of Martin and the ETA team were unmatched and absolutely vital to the success of our journey. This was a rare treasure of mind-expanding, challenging, joyful, interesting, and deeply humbling experiences—one I will forever be grateful for.Asante sana, Babu Simba.Posted on Jamie DeFVerified Life changing This adventure was truly life-changing. Martin and the ETA team have a rare gift for blending exceptional skill and safety with genuine heart. I owe every bit of my success to their encouragement, attention to comfort, constant presence, and joyful personalities. Their singing and dancing carried us through even the hardest moments. Reaching the peak was unforgettable, but it cannot compare to the love and sense of safety I felt from those who quite literally carried me there. I will hold this experience with me forever.Posted on Sophia BVerified Telling Everyone I Know about ETA One of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Martin and his team were excellent, and I could not have successfully made it up the mountain without them (looking at you, Fred!). They provided not only support, but also delicious meals, safe lodging, and good vibes. Hakuna Matata.Posted on Lara PVerified A true gem in a touring company! I am very grateful to be able to join Martin and his team (Explore Trekking Adventures) now 2 years in a row! Their incredible team guided me and a group of medical professionals to a successful summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro on a medical education expedition. From start to finish, their level of safety, expertise, and thoughtful attention to detail was truly exceptional.As an ER physician, safety and preparation were paramount for our group. ETA's understanding of altitude physiology, acclimatization and route knowledge was impressive. They made sure to meticulously tracked each individual’s progress throughout the climb, adjusting pacing, rest and support to ensure that every member of our group had the best possible chance for a safe and successful summit. Martin and his team tailored this experience to our group. They are thoughtful, adaptive, and genuinely invested in their climbers’ well-being. For example, at altitude, many of our appetites understandably declined, and the team went to extraordinary lengths to make sure we were still properly nourished. One evening, they overheard us joking about craving pizza. To our absolute amazement, later that night our cook had prepared fresh pizza at altitude. They even made an impromptu cake when they discovered it was one of our members’ B day! That moment perfectly captured the heart of this group.The guides, cooks and every porter were outstanding. Their kindness, strength and pride in their work were evident every day. They functioned as a seamless team lifting us up both literally and figuratively. It is impossible to overstate how much their energy and encouragement contributed to our success.ETA gave us the preparation, confidence, and strength to make this climb a success. I trust them completely and feel so lucky to be able to work with this team. I will follow ETA to the ends of the earth and back!!Posted on Krishi KVerified One dream Great trip great team one dream nonstop to the top. Singing is especially memorable. Value safety, fun, summitting and amazing food.Posted on Valérie BVerified Unforgettable ascent How not to recommend E.T.A. who pampered us during our ascent of Kilimanjaro. ETA is a great team that houses us, feeds us, and guides us throughout the ascent. A discreet team of 47 people who we barely met while they were there so that everything was ready before we arrived on the base camps. Not to mention the small snacks with hot drinks that were offered to us during our trekking days.Success is due in part to the entire Martin team and its 47 porters.Thanks to ETA, we will all have an unforgettable memory of this adventure. Asante SanaPosted on Soline BVerified Hakuna Matata! An incredible and unprecedented experience! As president of the Kili Usher Association, Martin and his entire team took very seriously our project which was to accompany a group of 9 visually and hearing impaired. We were pampered, supported, supported, safe; while keeping their joie de vivre and good mood. It has been a real pleasure to have them with us and we are counting on them again for our next challenge in two years.You can go with your eyes closed!Soline and the whole team Kili UsherTripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 55 reviews,showing our latest reviews
