Mount Kilimanjaro Treks
- We outfit climbs for all routes on Kilimanjaro though we prefer the more scenic and less touristed routes such as Lemosho Glades (also known as the Shira route), and the Umbwe route.
- What makes our treks so different?
- For those with time to acclimatize properly, we ascend via the Western Breach Route. This trek is a truly first-class mountaineering experience!
- Scheduled and tailor-made treks are available. Prices vary by group size.
- On routes other than Marangu (which has mountain huts), we provide modern mountaineering tents with ground sheets & cold-weather sleeping mats. Large mess tents with floors hold aluminum tables and chairs with backs & arm-rests. We also provide sanitary portable flush toilets inside enclosed tents.
- We have an extensive choice of rental gear, including special mountain sleeping bags, warm outer layers, and everything you'll need for a safe and comfortable ascent to the top of Africa.
- Last but not least, our professionally trained cooks serve up the best cuisine on Kilimanjaro, using the freshest and highest quality ingredients.
- Our mountain guides are experienced Tanzanians fluent in English and trained by NOLS/WFR in the administration of first aid and rescue. They are also knowledgeable on the flora and fauna of the mountain as well as on Kilimanjaro's geology.
- We carry all the requisite safety gear for emergencies, such as oxygen, hyperbaric chambers, stretcher&litter, as well as a WFR First-Aid kit (for our climbers and our porters). Moreover, our guides are trained to be proactive about altitude illness, and prevention of injuries. Should climbers require a French speaking mountain guide, we can provide a tour leader fluent in French. We are known for providing not only excellent services on our treks, but also for ensuring that we leave no traces behind.
- We thank Montrail for helping us to help our mountain staff by annually providing our guides and porters with mountain footware for climbing Kilimanjaro.

- We also specialize in mountain climbs of other Great Rift Valley Volcanoes, especially Mount Meru (14,979 ft / 4,566 m) and Oldonyo Lengai (an active volcano, 9,446 ft / 2,879 m). Meru can be a great acclimitization trek before Kilimanjaro (and a fantastic way to see animals while trekking), and Oldonyo Lengai is world reknown for its unique "cool" lava.
- Also we can professionally organize climbs of other mountains in the Ngorongoro Highlands such as Oldonyo Kerimasi (8,475 ft / 2,583 m), Loolmalassin (10,795 ft / 3,290 m), Lemagrut (10,280 ft / 3,133 m), and Oldeani (10,555 ft / 3,217 m).
