点评:We had a brilliant experience with AA. We climbed from Chogoria gate to point lenana to sirimon gate, camping for 4 nights. The hike is fantastic and varied. We were a family of 4. AA provided two guides, a chef, a camp manager and lots of porters. The team were all exceptional. The guides, Boni and Peter, were knowledgeable, fun, and prioritised safety and made decisions about camp sites etc with us on a daily basis. The chef, Moses, cooked fantastic hot food and provided snacks and lunches. We are in some incredible places. There was way too much food for us. The camp manager, Ari, was kind and observant. The porters were incredible and good humoured. Pre-trip info and briefings were helpful. We offered to be in a larger group (which would reduce the cost) but this didn’t happen, so I can only say that we moved at our own pace and had a private toilet at each camp. We would say that puffer coats should be mandatory and that the AA sleeping bags are extremely warm. The tipping guide was very helpful and we would recommend attending to this before starting the hike (rather odd but essentially how it works in Kenya). Overall we highly recommend AA because the staff are fantastic.
翻译:我们与AA的合作体验棒极了。我们从Chogoria大门出发,一路爬到Lenana峰,最终抵达Sirimon大门,途中露营了4晚。这条徒步路线精彩纷呈且富有变化。我们是一家四口。AA为我们安排了两名向导、一名厨师、一名营地管理员以及众多背夫。整个团队都表现得极为出色。两位向导Boni和Peter知识渊博又风趣幽默,始终把安全放在首位,每天还会和我们一起决定营地的位置等事宜。厨师Moses烹制了美味的热食,还为我们准备了零食和午餐。我们去了一些非常棒的地方。食物的量对我们来说实在太多了。营地管理员阿里人很好,也很细心。搬运工们十分出色且风趣幽默。行前资料与说明也很有帮助。我们曾提议加入更大的团队(这样能降低费用),但未能成行;因此我们只能按自己的节奏前进,而且每个营地都有单独的卫生间。我们认为羽绒服是必备品,而AA品牌的睡袋则极其保暖。这份小费指南非常有用,我们建议在开始徒步前仔细阅读(虽然有点奇怪,但这确实是肯尼亚的惯例)。总的来说,我们极力推荐AA,因为那里的员工表现卓越。
