Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Loved Whitney...Now Kili?

My partner and I hiked Mt Whitney in one day on July 24th. We loved the challenge and the satisfaction of meeting our goal. We are now researching hiking Kilimanjaro in January or February. I did a search of this forum and have seen that many members have hiked it. I am leaning towards the Machame route, but am looking for advice from those that have hiked the mountain. What route did you use? What trekking company did you go with and would you recommend them?

I bought a couple of books and have been reading about trail options, but would love to hear from people who have hiked it. Thanks in advance for any input!
