Our group of 8 climbed Kili in January '06. All 8 of us made it.
We used African Walking Company and they were excellent.
The food was pretty good, however, I hope you like soup.
We took the Rongai Route and enjoyed it. You really shouldn't take the Marangu Route. When you take the Rongai up, you get to take the Marangu back anyway.
We were glad we camped instead of staying in the huts. The bathrooms at Kibo huts were some of the foulest smelling ever. The bathrooms on the Rongai were much better.
I do have to admit that I enjoyed drinking my cold Kilimanjaro beer at Kibo after by descent from the peak, though.
