  I recently completed a trip to Kilimanjaro with Earths Edge and I have nothing but good things to say about their operation.From the very start of signing up the team are supportive and available, offering video conference chats for any … More questions, they provide a discount card to buy gear from The Great Outdoors store and walk you though getting prepared every step of the way.The training weekend in Glendalough 2 months before the trip is a great opportunity to ask questions to guides who have done the trip already as well as a chance to meet some of the people who will be going with you on your adventure.Once in-country the excellent experience continues and gets better. We were met at the airport by our expedition leader (Freddy) who took us to our hotel and gave us a brief on what to expect over the coming week. Once on the mountain the entire team of guides, porters, cooks etc. are so supportive, happy and helpful, they give you energy to tackle anything. The food served at each camp is truly amazing given the remoteness of the camps, so tasty. On summit night the support team did everything possible to help us all get to the top, singing constantly to keep spirits high in the darkness.This was the trip of a lifetime for me and I am so pleased that I went with Earths Edge, it's hard to imagine anything they could have done better.

  I travelled to Everest Base Camp on the September 28 2024 expedition. The care and attention shown by our local leader Prasant and the Sherpas was exceptional. We had an amazing time as we sang before setting off each day, we scaled new … More heights and experienced things not many people do. This was a challenging, wonderous self reflective journey, with memories and friendships made that will last a life time.

  I have done two treks with Earth's Edge - Kilimanjaro and Peru. Both trips were fantastic. The Earth's Edge staff are helpful and knowledgeable in terms of pre-departure queries and advice re the expeditions. On both trips, our … More were groups led by excellent local guides, with wonderful support staff and fantastic doctors. The organisation of both trips was excellent - everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. Earth's Edge are an excellent company and I could not recommend them highly enough.
