They are not technical climbs, but they are more difficult than the commonly used and highly traveled Marangu route up Mount Kilimanjaro . These routes allow us to have the Mount Kilimanjaro to ourselves - without any crowds. Unlike most other outfits, we include an extra one or two days on both these Mount Kilmanjaro routes. This allows us to better acclimate to the high altitude, and greatly increases our chances of making it to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Peak. The steep ascent and high altitude make the trek pretty tough, but no technical climbing skills are needed.
Local porters carry all our camping gear and food, and are an integral part of our climb.
They are our climbing companions, and as you get to know them as individuals, you'll get an insider's view of African culture. Their cheery disposition helps make the expedition a truly rewarding experience. Our guides are professionals in every sense of the word. They were all born and raised on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro , and have spent most of their lives climbing there. They are licensed by the Tanzanian government, and have been trained in emergency evacu ation procedures.
