Bona is a true leader and he handled all of us and 93 porters with aplomb. He was professional, fun, experienced, and I had complete faith in him. I joked "In Bona We Trust" because I had full faith in him as our trip leader!

Kilimanjaro Climb (Shira Route) and Serengeti Safari

I don't think I have ever traveled with such a great guide as Bonaventure. We all totally trusted and respected him in every way. He paid attention to every detail and clearly had seen it all with his clients. He listened and then skillfully had us all doing exactly what we needed to do to successfully make the summit. It was perfectly paced with all of us making it in good health. Coming down we met up with many others who weren't so lucky.

Best trip leader of all my travels! A great organizer, motivator, guide, and mountaineer. He had great rapport with travelers and porters alike. He seemed to be everywhere, always ready to listen, lend a hand, and guide. I believe Bonaventure had a hand in my summit success.
