We totally enjoyed our guide Samia. A true professional in every respect. It was nice to have a native Tanzanian head up the trip—brought the local flavor to us.

I would do Kili again. I probably will, especially if Samia Asindamu is the leader and Shira is the route up...The professionalism and friendliness of your office staff sold me on the trip.

I don't think I could have made it to the top of Kilimanjaro without Samia. He is not only knowledgable about the terrain and climate, but also extremely well prepared and informed regarding altitude sickness and first aid. He was always a joy to be around, full of warmth and compassion. I couldn't have been in better hands.

Samia was an absolutely outstanding guide. His expertise was obvious, and he was kind, knowledgeable, and pleasant in his interactions with guests, porters, and other assistant guides. He made me feel safe at all times, and confident that we were in good hands on this challenging trip.

I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed working with Samia. He is an EXCELLENT guide, an expert of the mountain, a fantastic leader, and a careful caretaker of all individuals on our trip. It was clear that he has the respect of everyone on the mountain—as we climbed, every porter (whether from our trip or another one) greeted him.

Samia Asindamu easily exemplifies the same kind of professionalism, expertise, and skills with people that I have seen in the best of other climbing guides over the years. Without him, it is hard to imagine this trip being as successful as it was.

Samia was the BEST trip leader—knowledgeable, experienced, kind, hardworking, calm, personable, funny. And what a great storyteller! Although I was in good shape and had trained extensively for the trip, I don't think I would have made it to the summit without his guidance. It is a testiment to him that the entire gruop was able to summit.

Samia was an incredibly gifted leader. He provided feedback every day, prepared us at dinner with next day expectations and goals, recapped the day, and alway reiterated everything at breakfast. We had absolute trust in his capabilities and ability as a guide and as a leader.

This was my fifth Wilderness trip (and I've traveled with other companies too), and Samia is among the top guides I've ever had. I would go up the mountain with him any day.

Samia was knowledgeable, likeable, and had excellent leadership and people skills. He clearly knew the mountain like the back of his hand (we were his 323rd summit), and managed the trip smoothly and effectively. We knew we were in good hands throughout the entire trip. Samia and his assistant guides were client- and safety-focused through the trip, and made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
