We have been told that our members and groups get along extremely well, and members are pleased to learn how enjoyable our expeditions are, and often say how pleasantly surprised they are by how well our team members and staff and leaders function together.
Most members prefer a single room while in Kampala. Our trek-tents and high-altitude tents are based on sharing.
On the Rwenzori range, it is common to have groups of as many as 5 people ascend and descend together. However, team members are individually clipped to the fixed line. Each night, the groups will camp in an established campsite where there are multiple expedition tents. Throughout the climbing days and camping nights, our leaders and porters will be climbing and camping together with you to help set up tents and make sure you are staying healthy and safe and that things are going well.
If you did not join together with your climbing partner (many members join as individuals), you will have ample opportunity, during the training, approach/trekking, and first expedition days to determine who you would prefer to climb with. Depending upon the variable speed with which everyone is moving, these groups and partnerships can form and recombine several times throughout our expedition, where the pace is slow and careful.
