William is a gifted mountain guide. His immeasurable patience and physical strength, soft-spoken nature and kind manner help many of our climbers reach Kilimanjaro’s summit.
The Tanzanian government is planning a new cable car project in order to double the number of climbers on Mount Kilimanjaro. However, the impact on the environment and communities could be irreversible.
The team is delighted to share that not only are we freezing our current Kilimanjaro trek rates through 2022, but we are lowering the rates for single and double travellers, and even better, lowering our LITE service rates as well.
“The best a man (or woman) can get,” is how travel writer and award-winning Trailblazer author Henry Stedman describes us in the latest edition of Kilimanjaro - The Trekking Guide to Africa's Highest Mountain.
Kilimanjaro’s glaciers are disappearing rapidly. This is due to warmer, drier conditions resulting in the glaciers, which are literally drying out or ‘sublimating’ (solid ice evaporating straight to gas).
International Mountain Day is celebrated annually on 11 December, and this year’s theme is sustainable mountain tourism. Nature Discovery remains committed to making a positive social and environmental impact where we operate.
Our guests’ comfort and safety are paramount at this time and any additional safety measures will be taken on board if requested
