    I have now been on two trips with Earth’s Edge, Kilimanjaro and Mt Toubkal, both have been the adventure of a lifetime and I am looking forward to the next! One of the highlights of each trip has been our expedition doctor, Dr. Saira Butt, … More whose expertise and great company made the difference between a good trip and a great trip!

Organisation … More was excellent from start to finish, and everything was handled professionally, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.Both expeditions were unforgettable experiences, and I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
