点评:We had a five person private group for the 7 day Machame Route trek. From the start Charles, the chief guide Jerry and assistant guides Calvin and Innocent were extremely reassuring and thorough - including a full kit check in the hotel. Arrangements were clear and adhered to, and the team delivered an organised and professional trek. But that doesn't do justice to the way they did it! You spend a lot of time with the crew and they were brilliant and so supportive. They couldn't do enough for us from dusting us off at the end of the day's walking, to carrying daypacks when the altitude sickness and exhaustion struck. They were incredibly reassuring to us as novices in a high altitude environment and without their guidance we wouldn't have all made it to the top. Chef John delivered lots of delicious food from his kitchen tent, everyone in the team made us feel welcome, with real warmth and humour. They might do this all the time but they made us feel special!
It was a great time of the year to do this trek. We had sunny days and clear cold nights with incredible views of the stars. It did mean that campsites were busy and they are noisy places - remember your earplugs - but no rain, and dry underfoot.
We had a great time, stood on the roof of Africa and have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you to Charles for his responsiveness in planning the trek, and to Jerry, Calvin and Innocent for their guiding skill and their great company. And thank you to the whole team for making it such an unforgettable experience.
翻译:我们一行五人组成了私人小组,进行了为期7天的马查梅路线徒步之旅。从一开始,首席向导查尔斯、向导杰瑞以及助理向导卡尔文和伊诺森特就表现得极为可靠且细致入微——他们甚至在酒店里为我们做了全套的装备检查。各项安排清晰明确且得到妥善执行,整个团队呈现出了井然有序且专业水准极高的服务。不过,这些描述仍不足以完全体现他们的出色表现!与这支团队共度的时光非常愉快,他们既出色又乐于助人。他们为我们做得太多太多了:每天徒步结束后帮我们拍去身上的灰尘,当我们出现高原反应或精疲力竭时又帮我们背起daypack。对于我们这些初到高原的初学者来说,他们的陪伴给了我们极大的安心感;若没有他们的指引,我们根本无法全部成功登顶。厨师约翰在他的厨房帐篷里烹制出无数美味佳肴,团队里的每个人都以真挚的热情与幽默感让我们倍感亲切。他们可能经常这么做,但却让我们感觉自己与众不同、备受重视!
这个时节非常适合进行徒步旅行。白天阳光明媚,夜晚寒冷而晴朗,还能看到美得令人惊叹的星空。不过这也意味着营地里人很多且十分嘈杂——记得带上耳塞哦——但没下雨,地面也干燥宜人。
我们度过了一段难忘的时光,站在了“非洲之巅”,留下了终生难忘的回忆。感谢查尔斯在行程规划上的迅速响应,也感谢杰里。感谢Calvin和Innocent,感谢他们的出色引导以及贴心的陪伴。也谢谢整个团队,让这次经历变得如此难忘。
