THE UNIQUE HADZABE TRIBE

There is a beautiful, mysterious, shallow and salty lake in Tanzania sheltered by the magnificent Great Rift Valley. But the undeniable beauty of Lake Eyasi relies not only in the landscape itself but in the fact that it is the home area of the last hunter-gathered tribe in Tanzania and one of the few in Africa - the Hadzabe or Hadza.

Gorilla trekking, testimonials, our experience with kiliwarrior surpassed expectations.

Embarking on a 5-day journey with Killiwarrior in Uganda was nothing short of extraordinary. The itinerary crafted for us was a perfect blend of excitement and cultural immersion. The standout experiences were undoubtedly the silverback gorilla trek and the chimpanzee trek.

The silverback gorilla trek was a surreal encounter with these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The knowledgeable guides provided insightful commentary, enhancing the overall experience. It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Killiwarrior made it possible.

The chimpanzee trek was equally captivating, offering a different perspective on Uganda’s diverse wildlife. The thrill of spotting these intelligent creatures in the lush forest added a unique dimension to our journey.

What sets Killiwarrior apart is their exceptional flexibility and responsiveness to accommodate our tight schedule. Despite the last-minute nature of our plans, they efficiently secured trekking permits, demonstrating their dedication to ensuring clients get the most out of their trip.

Our experience with Killiwarrior surpassed expectations. The combination of thrilling adventures and seamless logistics provided by the team made this trip unforgettable. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Killiwarrior for anyone seeking a well-rounded and enriching travel experience in Uganda.

THE most epic experience of my life

One particular day I had some neck pain (pre-existing) and I struggled to carry my backpack. Efatha, one of the guides, wanted me to hand off my pack to a porter but my pride wouldn’t let me. So, Efatha and another guide took all the contents out of my pack, stuffed it in their own packs, and handed me my empty backpack and said “there, you still have your pack!” They were ALL so thoughtful and sweet!

The trip was awesome.

The Kiliwarriors team was great. Very supportive and fun to be around. Can’t recommend them enough. You will be in good hands.

Kiliwarrior Expeditions were great!

All the staff were truly amazing. Their support in the lead up to and during the trek was fantastic. They made our summit attempt not only successful, but also extremely enjoyable and unforgettable. If you are planning on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend the Lemosho Western-Breach Route with Kiliwarrior.

Great experience climbing with Kiliwarriors!

I am especially impressed by the guides and how much they care for the clients. They kept a really close eye on all of us and if they see any of us struggling, they would offer to carry our day bags and even lend their arms as support. Food was very good but towards the end I was kind of getting tired of the soup and porridge. But all in all I was grateful for the amount of support I’ve had from the team and I wouldn’t have made it to the summit without them.

The ONLY way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro

KiliWarrior Management,

We would like to express our sincere appreciation of the experience we had with your company “KiliWarrior Expeditions” on our recent tour of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. From the moment we arrived, your staff made us feel value and caring for our needs. The hotel was outstanding and in a great location, and the food was excellent. The day before our trip, your staff was on time and explained what we will expect before the climbing, and it gave us the opportunity to meet the rest of the group. The camp manager and assistant manager and 2 assistant were outstanding in explaining the days event and how long it would take to reach each campsite daily, their pace setting was outstanding. They would check our oxygen level and heart rate to ensure we were okay to trek the next day. The 46 porters were outstanding from the chef and his staff providing hot meals daily snacks, or hot water at our request, they truly went above and beyond the call of duties and responsibilities. The team worked really well together, ensuring that our camp was ready for us by the time we arrived at the site. The surprise anniversary cake and champagne were truly a shock and unexpected. The experience will never be forgotten as we celebrate our anniversary at over 14,000 feet. Again can’t say enough about how wonderful and professional your staff was in helping us reach our goal of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

KILIWARRION EXPEDITIONS! The ONLY way to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro!!!

Safari in Uganda with Gorillas / Chimpanzees

Thank you Kiliwarrior Expeditions for your great help with planning our dream vacation to Uganda and Rwanda! The trip was marvellous and our guide, Tyson, was such an ideal guide for us! Really professional and knowledgeable.

A moment that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.

I summited Mt. Kilimanjaro on July 3rd, 2023 with Kiliwarrior Expeditions. From arriving into Tanzania to leaving, the entire Kiliwarrior team went above and beyond what I expected.

From learning about their traditions, the mountain, singing and dancing to their songs – they taught me so much about their amazing culture.

The food – OMG, the food was top notch. The love and care the entire team put into making sure that we were well fed and had enough energy to hike up the mountain was amazing.

The guides were full of life and personality. From answering our questions about the local wildlife, the flowers and their experiences on Kilimanjaro, to even playing cards and games with us in the tent.

My only regret was not booking a Safari as well when I was in Tanzania, but that’s something I’ll do in the next few years and will book that through Kiliwarriors as well.

There are many different ways to climb Mount Kilimanjaro…

Noah has written a blog post about his experience with us climbing via the Western-Breach.

“In any case, Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed through a variety of companies, but in this article, I’m going to share my experiences with Kiliwarriors and use my experience to give you an idea about what to expect when trying to decide between different routes with different companies.

All said, if you read all the way through, I hope it becomes apparent how much Kiliwarriors cares for each and every client, so much so that climbing with Kiliwarriors is truly as luxurious as a trip can be on Mount Kilimanjaro! “

I climbed Kilimanjaro with 10 other women in February 2023.

I climbed Kilimanjaro with 10 other women in February 2023. It was an incredible experience for me and the rest of the group. After lots of research, we chose Kiliwarriors as our outfitter for this trek and I’m so happy we did. Every staff member from our guides to our porters was incredibly helpful, kind and very supportive. The food was delicious and plentiful and the equipment provided was top notch. If climbing Kilimanjaro is on your bucket list, go with Kiliwarriors! You won’t be disappointed.

Why Kiliwarrior Expeditions?

Tom and the whole Kiliwarrior Team, greetings to everyone. A year ago (back on Aug 21, 2022), I arrived on the evening KLM flight from Amsterdam to start an amazing expedition to Africa. I could not get anyone to go with me, but still made the long journey regardless. Every expectation was met, actually exceeded, starting with my 24-hour baggage delay (missing the connecting flight from Los Angeles). The hotel accommodations in Arusha were awesome, the expedition coordination (Tom you were always available if I had any question) was spot on, and before we even started, the drive to the trailhead included Zebra, Giraffe, and Gazelle, amazing. The hike / climb and the entire camp environment could not have been better. The guides and staff watched over everyone to make sure we were all doing well and took care of our every need. When you arrived at the next camp each day, there was a porter waiting to show you to your tent and help take your day-pack off. That personal touch approach, will always stay with me. And the food was AMAZING, there is no other way to put it. The fried chicken and French fries dinner following our summit was a great finish and way to celebrate our success.

Why Kiliwarrior Expeditions? The hiking / climbing schedule each day and period of acclimatization provided the best chance of summit success. I routinely go back and look over the many pictures and remember the great dedication every member of the Kiliwarrior team provided every day. I cannot remember how many times I provided “trip to Kilimanjaro’ slide shows to family, friends, work, and church groups. I think of Hosea, Shedrack, Efatha, and yes Kanini often, and I would be remiss if not heaping praise upon the many porters who did the hard work every day. I can say their work was an integral part in my success. The people of Tanzania impressed me as much as Mount Kilimanjaro.

I guess this is simply me reflecting on a great experience in my life and letting you know “great job” to the whole team and I still think of your staff and the other 10 expedition members that made the whole trip so memorable. I wish you all the best.

The best! I cannot say enough good things about this group. My 15 year old son and I just climbed Kilimanjaro with Kiliwarrior expeditions and it was the best vacation I’ve ever had! Everything was professionally coordinated from airport pickup, very nice hotel in Arusha, safari trip (Shabani) to the actual climb. Tom was excellent in setting up the trip and preparing us. During the climb we were guided by professionals who take their job seriously but who clearly love what they do. Shout out to Shadrock, Ephata, Gilbert, Master, and Kilongo! They taught us not only climbing, but also Swahili and card games! Camp managers Canini and Paulina made sure we were fed with amazing food and did it joyfully. Really fantastic soups every meal, Tanzania toast, super good grilled cheese and onion sandwiches! We took the 9 day Lemosho route and I absolutely loved every day of it. Doing this we climbed the western breach as the sun rose and then had the summit all to ourselves in the afternoon! Pictures don’t express how glorious it is to look down 9000 feet above the clouds and see the moon setting behind Mt Meru as you climb through the steepest part of the mountain. The porters are also a true inspiration. If you love nature, new experiences, and good people then book your trip with Kiliwarriors. We also made lasting friendships with our fellow hikers. It was a joyful experience all around and one that was worth every cent. I completed this feeling invigorated for life. I am grateful to this company for making our dream a reality, and for doing so with evident professionalism and an obvious love for their work.

There’s only one group that will make you feel like family.

There are so many options that you can choose from when you plan your Kilimanjaro journey. There’s only one group that will make you feel like family. That’s the KiliWarriors. From the moment that I landed in Tanzania, I was greeted by members of their team. They provided insight into what the next week would be like and took me and my climbing mates to our wonderful accommodations. We were the envy of many on the mountain. We had some of the best equipment and best food. No packed lunches. Everything was cooked fresh. We had constant health checks throughout the day. From the moment that we woke up and until we went to sleep. The guides and porters became family to us pretty quickly. Providing encouragement every step of the way. I truly believe in my heart that I would not have been able to summit if it weren’t for the guidance and support of the KiliWarrior team. I think about my time on the mountain often and all of the great memories and life long friends that I met. Don’t look elsewhere. Kiliwarrior expeditions is the way to go. Proud Honorary member of the Kiliwarrior team. Summit reached June 2022 – Lemosho Western Breach.

I am overjoyed to be able to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with others.

The positivity and energy was very contagious

Since the start of planning this trip, Kiliwarriors has been very professional and more than just a company. All the guides and porters are friendly and welcoming, they were more than happy to help with anything. Thanks to them and many other encounters with the staff, I felt like our hospitality was a great priority to them.

The positivity and energy was very contagious, the singing and dancing at the start of the day was one of the best parts for me.

The food was fantastic, the mess tent always had a selection of tea, coffee, hot water, condiments, spreads, and was kept tidy. Chances are you will probably end up putting on weight by the end of the climb!

Massive thank you to Kiliwarriors for helping me achieve my goal!

BEAUTY BEYOND WORDS… EXERTION IN THE EXTREME… A MUST DO ONCE IN A LIFETIME!

BEAUTY BEYOND WORDS… EXERTION IN THE EXTREME… A MUST DO ONCE IN A LIFETIME!! There are no words… you simply have to be there yourself to know what we are talking about. My husband and I (66 and 62 years old) climbed Kilimanjaro in July 2022. The experience is a highlight of our lives which we attribute to Kiliwarrior Expeditions. Their team of over 60 for 9 climbers is exceptional and therefore the attention to detail, care for our well-being and excellent food sets them apart. I highly recommend their tour as well as the 9 day Lemosho Western Breach route because one really does need the extra days to acclimatize to the altitude. THANK YOU KILIWARRIOR EXPEDITIONS FOR THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IMAGINABLE! Anyone reading this… JUST DO IT!!!

Here is my experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

Small excerpt from Sticks World Travel – Dan’s travel blog:

“Climbing Kilimanjaro is without doubt one of the hardest experiences I have ever done. It is also one of the most amazing. You always get the greatest success from the hardest things, if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I learned so much about ME, I learned that I love a good challenge, the harder the challenge; the more I worked to achieve it, the better I felt after achieving it. This trip certainly has changed me for the better.”

Dan wrote a great blog post about the entire trip with us. You can click here to read the blog post on his blog.

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! I decided to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro in the summer of 2022 as a way to celebrate graduating from college as well as to challenge myself to climb the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. Prior to the climb, I was in constant communication with Tom Analytis. He was very helpful, answering all of my questions and explaining all of the routes in detail to make sure I was comfortable with all of my decisions regarding the trek.

The professionalism Tom showed and the care that the Kiliwarriors team provided was evident even before I arrived in Tanzania. Arriving in Tanzania, I was greeted by the Kiliwarriors team who took care of everything right from the beginning. The accommodations and food available at Kibo Palace was great! In addition, meeting the team during the gear check and briefing was very smooth and comforting. They made sure we had everything we needed and explained the hike in full detail. Wilburt carefully checked all of my gear prior to making sure I was prepared and had all of the necessary equipment for our hike up to the top. He explained very thoroughly what I should pack in my daypack while keeping the rest in my duffel bag.

My group was composed of 8 other hikers (besides myself) which made the experience even more special and enjoyable as I was able to enjoy the hardships as well as the triumphs with them throughout our time on the mountain. We quickly got along!

Our head-guide was Shedrak, who was very knowledgeable about the mountain. He made sure to consistently stop at certain points to teach us a little bit about the plant-life and the landscape. In addition, he made sure we were hydrated, physically well, and his enthusiasm truly helped support our morale that pushed us as we hiked to each camp. Another one of our guides, Ephata, was also amazing and made the experience even better. He was always smiling and made sure we were okay during the hikes as well as in the camps. He kept a proper and steady pace for our team.

The rest of the team went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Mama Luis cooked some of the best food on the mountain. He alway surprised us with the dishes he would whip out from his tent on the mountain. Johannes carried my personal duffel bag and was always at the front of the campsite to greet me and help me to my tent after each day. Gilbert and Kanini also went above and beyond, and I definitely could not have completed the summit without them. They helped me especially when I was running out of energy and was struggling with oxygen and fatigue during the summit push.

This Kiliwarriors team is the best anyone could ask for and I truly could not have done it without any of them. They were so positive, accommodating, and caring. They did everything in their power to make sure I as well as everyone else on the team succeeded in making it to the summit. All eight climbers in our group successfully summited and I believe that the Lemosho Western-Breach played a big role in that. The acclimatization the route offers allows the highest chance of success and making it to the top of Kilimanjaro. The extra time offered by this route allows you to acclimatize for the final push. The breach is also unique because it offers hikers a chance to see a variety of different things that other trekking companies do not normally encounter. For example, I thought it was a special and unique experience to be able to see the Scott Fischer memorial on the mountain. In addition, the route offers some privacy especially on Arrow Glacier camp. You also get to see and touch some of the summit glaciers on the top of Kilimanjaro, which is an experience not many get to do!

This was definitely a trip of a lifetime and I highly recommend Kiliwarriors for anyone who wants to successfully make it to the top and have a wonderful, positive, and professional team to help them achieve that goal. I came to Tanzania not knowing what to expect. I didn’t know anyone on the team or who I would be climbing the mountain with. I left feeling very welcomed and felt that I have become a part of the Kiliwarrior family! I want to thank everyone at Kiliwarrior Expeditions for the memories and the experience that I will truly remember!

To anyone who is thinking about which team to join when accomplishing the dream of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else, but Kiliwarriors.

I was immediately impressed with the timeliness in communication

Best experience ever. Highy recommeded.

Best experience ever. Highy recommeded. Did the 9 Day Western Breach Lemosho Route and made it to the summit. You will not find a better company to climb with, they are simply the best! The most outstanding, dedicated and passionate team of organisers, guides and porters. Thank you so much for a truly unforgettable adventure, a dream come true.

Congratulations on an outstanding team at Kiliwarriors!

The top priority of all of the 50+ porters, guides, chefs was the comfort and well-being of the hikers.  Each went out of his way to see to our needs and desires in the kindest and sometimes most humorous way possible.

Hosea is a formidable leader.  He is personable, tireless,  firm, fair, concerned….. if anything, a bit too humble. He has a really big job, and he is a really big man.

I was one of the weakest links….my pacemaker was not well calibrated to exertion beyond 15-16,000 feet.  My cardiologist warned this might be the case, but encouraged me to try….and I am so glad I did.  Hosea was wise to give me the choice between forging ahead to Barafu or going to lower altitude ( which I chose).  Felix was a careful and considerate guide, and I am very grateful for his kindness and that of the other team which accompanied me.

I tell my friends that this trip was a bit of “glamping!”  Whoever heard of chairs or hot water bottles or camp toilets on a 9 day wilderness trip?  Showers?  An impossible luxury!

Thank you, thank you for a memorable and positive adventure.  A once in a lifetime challenge undertaken in complete luxury.

Greetings from two VERY happy campers!

Our trip to the top of Kilimanjaro was sensational.  The food, attention to details, focus on safety and comforts exceeded our expectations.  And we cannot say enough good things about Hosea and his team.  He is a truly outstanding leader—it was a thrill to watch him in action, and to see the group working together like a well-oiled machine.  The cook, Louis, took such pains to handle my gluten restriction—I was touched and deeply appreciative of that.  And the entire group of guides, porters, and cooks were a constant source of support and encouragement.

Dave and I feel like we went with appropriate expectations about the degree of comfort we were likely to encounter on the trip—and had those expectations exceeded time after time—from the morning coffee delivered hot to our tent to the hot water bottles at night to take the chill off our sleeping bags!   We also fully expected a high degree of challenge and cold, both of which we felt well prepared to withstand.  Dave and I felt wonderfully strong at the summit, and enjoyed every minute of the climb up.  As we expected, the climb down was actually harder—in part because we did so quickly—but we made it still smiling and happy.

Kiliwarriors Expeditions is a fabulous franchise and deserves to enjoy a long life in this tough business.

With deepest thanks for a spectacular life experience,

The Adventure of a Lifetime

The adventure of a lifetime!

Hands down most experienced expedition team on Mount Kilimanjaro. I would HIGHLY recommend climbing with Kiliwarriors to anyone who wants a fully immersive travel experience like no other.

Our entire trip was incredible due to the flawless execution

My wife and I have been planning an African trip since 2014. Throughout the planning stages (and with some delays on our end), Gerry Analytis (partner) was patient, helpful and didn’t apply any sales pressure. After my independent research, it was abundantly clear that Kiliwarriors Expeditions was the best company for us, not only for climbing Kili, but also for the planning our safari and Zanzibar visit. Our entire trip was incredible due to the flawless execution, attention to detail, nature teachings and tonnes of TLC by Gerry, Wilbert and the entire Kiliwarrior team! We were incredibly lucky to have Wilbert accompany us on the climb and safari as part of Kiliwarriors commitment to quality, safety and customer satisfaction. They don’t just rely on electronic feedback, they are fully engaged and have “boots on the ground” in every aspect of their business. We left Tanzania with a new family because they made us feel so special and supported us at every turn over our 21 days in Tanzania.

Our recommendations:

1) Don’t be one of the “Walking Dead” that we witnessed on the mountain and who didn’t summit because they thought they could take short cuts and save a dollar.

2) Anyone looking for an incredible, life long experience, just put your trip in the hands of Kiliwarriors Expeditions and you won’t have any misgivings

I can’t believe that our trip of a lifetime is over.

Dear Gerry,

I spent two years planning and preparing for our families’s climb. In my research for a climbing company, Kiliwarriors stood out almost immediately for a number of reasons. I felt that the “all-inclusive” package was perfect for us. We did not have to purchase items, such as sleeping bags and trekking poles, that I knew we would most likely not have much use for in the future. Having personal porters was important for us since none of us has hiking experience and although we are all fit, not having a heavy pack on our backs all day made all the difference in our success. Also, I appreciated that tips were already figured in the price as I knew that the subject would have distracted and made me anxious, even during the climb. Finally, it was important to me that Kiliwarriors is not a fully foreign run company, but that Wilbert, as a Tanzanian, is a co-owner.

The physical comforts on our climb really exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The sleeping bags with the pallets were really comfortable! I slept like a baby in those tents. The toilet tent was easier to use than I imagined and we were all so grateful to have it, even at lunchtime. Pure luxury. The food that we were served also greatly exceeded all of our expectations. We loved the popcorn and hot tea and hot chocolate ready for us in the afternoon after a long hike. The soup each evening before dinner was always delicious…my kids have never eaten so much soup! The fried chicken, fish and grilled cheese and tomatoe sandwiches were a personal favorite. the fact that fruit was served at each meal was impressive. We all ate very well. Also, the one “shower”  that my daughter and I each managed to take (due to weather) on the third day made us feel human again…clean hair!

Finally, our group of porters became so special to us. I don’t want to start naming people because I know I will forget someone. Wilbert of course was just an amazing guide. We met him for the first time at the NYC Travel show the year before and seeing his smiling face at the Kilimanjaro airport airport when he picked us up after an 18 hour flight was just the beginning of our bond with him. He was both warm and professional at the same time. I felt so safe placing my family (husband, 18 year old son, and 22 year old daughter) into his obviously capable hands. The whole group really became so special to us. Seeing their smiling faces each afternoon as we entered our camp and the song and dance greeting gave us the feeling of coming home each day. It was especially moving when we got back down to Barafu after all four of us had successfully summited to the Roof of Africa. I was exhausted from the eight hour climb up and the 2 hour climb down, but seeing all of their faces and hearing their enthusiasitc congratulations made me feel so proud and also lucky that they were they ones who guided us up. We couldn’t have done it without them.

It truly was one of the best and most amazing experiences of my lifetime

When I decided I wanted to go to Africa to celebrate my 50th birthday, my husband said we had to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. I agreed, tentatively. Then a friend told me about Kiliwarriors. Upon learning what they had to offer, especially personal porters and showers (what girl could go more then a few days without washing hair?), the prospect became more attractive and I was able to look forward to the experience. The reality far surpassed any expectation and then some. It truly was one of the best and most amazing experiences of my lifetime.

The team (we had 30 to support us 4) was so friendly and so supportive. I do not want to name names as I know I will miss someone. Everyone was important and appreciated and we could not have succeeded without all of them. Their guidance (polepole) and encouragement never left any doubt we would make it to the top. Everyone made the experience special and enjoyable. Yes, there are several individuals we interacted with closely and daily and they will always be remembered as dear friends. The food was delicious and exactly as needed each step of the way. Hot tea in bed in the morning and hair washing made it that much more comfortable. Porters made it easy. They carried all supplies, including all of our stuff (clothing, sleeping bags, tents, and day packs) and had it all set up for us upon our arrival, with everyone smiling, welcoming and high fiving us at every camp. And following the carefully and slowly placed footsteps of our leaders up the mountain made it possible.

We saw others on the mountain who did not succeed. I suspect in many cases they went up too fast. The slower, overall 9 day, approach to climbing Kili, I believe, guaranteed our success. We did several smaller steps up the mountain, as well as some climb high and sleep low days. We also did use altitude drugs and this probably helped. Not one of us 4 (age range 50-70) felt ill at any stage and we all summited strong and feeling great. Also of note, a great thing about Kiliwarriors was, unlike most of the other companies, on the night before summit, we sleep at high Barafu (aka Kosovo) which allowed more acclimation – especially as we again hiked high and slept low – then those who sleep down at Barafu. Of further note was the fact the Barafu camp people leave at midnight and, in my opinion, have a horrible climb between Barafu and Kosovo in the middle of a dark and cold night. We departed at 5 am, heading up terrain we had hiked the afternoon before, and experienced a brilliant sunrise very early in to our climb and were able to enjoy our summit experience in the light and warmth of the sun. Definitely a more enjoyable approach.

Climbing Kilimanjaro was one of the best experiences of my life, and this was entirely because of Kiliwarriors and the people I climbed with – friends old and new.  I also speak for my husband and friends and say we will all be forever grateful to have used this company to help us fulfill this goal in the most comfortable and supportive manner possible.

After the climb, Kiliwarriors then took us on a 4.5 day safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, and the Serengeti. This was a dream come true for me. Our eagle-eyed and knowledgeable guides were able to locate every type animal possible, especially the cats! The accommodation was beautiful, comfortable and unique. Food was delicious. A perfect adventure and follow-up to Kili and I highly recommend this not be missed.

Asante sana Kiliwarriors! You are the best!

Hello Wilbert and Gerry!

My climb of Mount Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience thanks to Wilbert Mollel, our head guide and the whole Kiliwarrior team. Imagine my surprise when I woke up on day 2 to find 22 porters and guides preparing things, singing and dancing for us. All of them helped to make our climb a pleasure.

Highly professional, Wilbert managed the climb with perfect timing so that I suffered very few effects of high altitude, no headaches, digestive problems or the like.

The team monitored our ingestion of water and food urging us to keep drinking water. The food was fresh and delicious, sparking our appetite when it flagged. When the going got difficult near the end, Wilbert was there to help us up the Breach.

Our heart rates and oxygen levels were checked daily. Why, with 22 guides and porters I felt like the Queen of England!

One of the greatest 9 days of my life

Climbing the Western Breach with Kiliwarriors was one of the greatest 9 days of my life. From the beginning of our experience (researching guide companies) through summit day, they answered all of our questions, cared for our well-being and safety and helped us to understand the beauty and magic of the mountain.

The food was delicious, the porters were valued and well provided for, and they practiced ecology on the mountain. As a group of 8 climbers, we were able to get to know our guides and porters, learn from them, and trust the experience that they brought to us. Their singing, dancing and cheering us on as we made it to camp each day was an added bonus!

Wilbert Mollel has assembled an incredible team and provides the highest quality experience on Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Asante Sana

I thoroughly enjoyed my trek with Kiliwarriors

I take this opportunity to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed my trek with Killiwarriors, It was a dream of mine to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and I was lucky enough to have done it with the Kiliwarriors.

From the very outset, the professional and helpful nature was evident, I was treated with respect and was relieved to find out that it was a top class outfit I would be climbing with not just some shoddy operator out for a quick dollar,the care that was taken to ensure I had all the right climbing gear and apparel was indeed appreciated, but the best was to come on the mountain, as i experienced such a high degree of mateship and friendship with the porters and cooks and our wonderful guides.

It was by far the best holiday I have experienced and I have travelled far and wide around the globe, but in all honesty I was very pleased with the service that the Kiliwarriors provided and the genuine family feeling during the climb, I don’t know that I would have achieved the summit had it not been for the assistance and professional conduct of all concerned.

I would like to thank all of those involved and would indeed without hesitation, recommend the Kiliwarriors to anyone that is considering climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.

The Western-Breach was definitely the way to go!

I climbed the Western Breach with Wilbert and the rest of the Kiliwarriors in June 2009. From the start of our journey at Londorossi Gate, to our summiting and our night sleeping in the crater, and back down again, the whole team of selfless porters, cooks, and guides (18 crew in total for 3 climbers!) made the experience the trip of a lifetime.

My most lasting memories of the climb are the porters dancing, playing cards (a local Tanzanian game of course) with the guides and porters, the amazing fresh food, playing frisbee at Sheffield Camp, and of course most of all the great company and stellar views.

The Western Breach route was definitely the way to go since after Day 2 we had the whole side of the mountain to ourselves! And the Kiliwarriors climb itinerary, with a rest day, gave us the best chance at reaching our goal of climbing Kili – which all three of us did.

Jambo, Wilbert, Hosea and the whole team!

After climbing via the Western Breach with you in February 2012, I know no outfitter provides a better, more enjoyable and meaningful experience on the mountain than Kiliwarriors.

Jambo! I can’t say enough to recommend Wilbert, Hosea, and the entire team – surely no outfitter provides a better, more enjoyable, meaningful and safe time on Kilimanjaro than Kiliwarriors. The biggest surprise of our Western Breach trek in February 2012 was how much the people who made our climb possible (including all the support staff!) impacted our overall experience. From the energizing singing/dancing reception (a most welcome surprise!), constant encouragement and personalized care to the expertise demonstrated and knowledge shared, the guides and porters created a warm ambiance on the trail and in camp.

Everything else about the operation is also quality: the food, proper clothing and sheltering of the team, preparation for emergencie – in equipment and response. I can’t imagine climbing Kili with anyone else – and look forward to enjoying a safari with Kiliwarriors as well. Asante sana to all, and best for continued success.

We Just Had The Most Fabulous Trip, Thank You!

Thank you for coordinating such a complexe and enjoyable adventure. Your team in Tanzania is very impressive. Hosea was very reassuring, comprehensive, and professional.

We were brought to the Machame Gate to meet the mountain crew and Kanini made that a very special and fun bonding experience. Throughout the climb we were impressed with all the people on the team, from the water person, to the night watchman, and the people in charge of our tent. I cannot begin to tell you how impressed we were with Hosea’s leadership. He was always there to answer our questions and put us at ease. Ephata and Shedrack were equally competent, guiding us on our daily treks and daily briefs. They offered seemless advice and direction throughout the trip. Kanini and Emmanuel made our meals and time at camp very enjoyable. We woke to morning tea and were put to bed with hot water bottles.

They really outdid themselves to make us comfortable, and serve us elegant and delicious meals. Our personal porters made sure we always had what we needed during our hikes. They really worked hard and made sure we were safe. When we put on our gear, there was always someone to help us put on the gaiters or adjust our equipment. Sometimes it was the guide or any of the other crew members. They are also highly appreciative of how you are managing the Kiliwarriors and are treating it’s employees.

Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience and we will never forget the Kiliwarrior Team!

With sincere gratitude,

The Greatest Adventure I Have Ever Experienced

Thank you very much Kiliwarriors for guiding me on the greatest adventure that I have ever experienced!

Trekking the Lemosho Barafu Crater Route gave me the opportunity to view the stunning gifts that nature could provide to the eyes. Whether it was the early morning sun, sharing the sky with the moon, the clouds dancing in the sky “below”, or the stars reaching down from the midnight sky. The every day sights gave me great reasons to be thankful that I am alive.

I am to this day very impressed with the preparation and professionalism of the Kiliwarrior team. I always felt as though my only daily responsibility was to enjoy the challenge of the trek as well as the beauty of nature, and the Kiliwarrior Team had all else under control. I was inspired each morning by the motivational chants that were performed by the Kiliwarriors before setting off on the day’s trek. I was well nourished by the food provisions. I was also pleased with the sleeping accommodations. I have highly recommended the Kiliwarrior experience to everyone that has mentioned that they are interested in trekking Kilimanjaro.

Trekking the Lemosho Barafu Crater Route with the Kiliwarrior Team had me returning to my home country a different man than when I left.

The trip of a life time. Boombayay Boomba!

We had an absolutely fantastic trek

My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic trek with Kiliwarrior Expeditions to the top of Kilimanjaro. They customized our entire 9 day trip and helped assure all of our hard preparation work was fully rewarded when we reached our goal of Uhuru!

This was by far the most physically demanding and emotionally rewarding thing we have ever done!

Kiliwarrior Expeditions came highly recommended to us by 2 friends who had taken separate treks with them. We agree that this is an exceptionally well handled Tanzanian company. The whole team was excellent and made our trek particularly memorable and fun with the enthusiastic singing and greetings by the team on several occasions. Other groups had greetings – but none were as frequent or as resonant as our Kiliwarror Team!

We heartily recommend Kiliwarriors

My wife Koel and I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in December 2013 along the Lemosho – Western Breach route. After a successful 9 day trek, we spent 6 days in Ndutu on a spectacular safari. Our exclusive, 16-day Tanzania tour was wonderfully managed by KILIWARRIOR EXPEDITIONS. Gerry was prompt and comprehensive with all the answers during the initial enquiry and booking stage and the climb was unbelievably well-organised.

On the mountain the 20-member KILIWARRIOR team,  ably led by Wilbert & Hosea, was helpful, professional and enthusiastic. This enabled just the right mix between our safety, comfort and well-being on the one hand, and the thrill and adventure of climbing the Western Breach, on other hand.  Hosea was exceptional and, supported ably by Shedrack and Juma, he helped us reach Uhuru Peak and get down safely; Kanini, Louis and team helped tremendously with solid support at the camps and in ensuring unexpectedly wholesome and good quality food right through. My wife is certain that without Hosea’s help and expertise she would not have made it to the top!

Wilbert accompanied us during the Ndutu extension  and helped facilitate a superb safari – Nasikia mobile camp was well-located and the dedicated car was in excellent condition. Both Simon (first two days) and George (next four days) proved to be very competent driver-cum-guides and ensured we had great sightings of various wildlife species and behaviour, including, remarkably, two actual ‘kills’ – lions taking down a zebra and a mother cheetah bringing down a wildebeest!

As an award-winning photographer and travel-writer I had several specific requirements in terms of my lenses, tripod, charging batteries on the mountain, full day game drives etc. and I was happy to see that all my exacting requirements were catered to by the KILIWARRIOR team both during the climb and safari. This helped me create lots of high quality images during the trip.  While my previous trip to Africa had resulted in recognition of my images at numerous international photographic salons and more than a dozen publications, I am sure this Tanzania tour would lead to even more exciting articles and pictures.

In conclusion, my wife and I would like to thank each and every member of the KILIWARRIOR EXPEDITIONS team. We would heartily recommend them as excellent outfitters for anyone planning a climb to the top of Africa and / or going on a Tanzanian safari

A Truly Wonderful Experience

To Gerry, Wilbert and the entire Kiliwarriors Team

We want to thank you for making the entire trip a truly wonderful experience. Hosea, Shedrack, Efatha, Henry, Louis, Kanini and the team were attentive to our every need with their extensive knowledge and professionalism. This was a trip that we will never forget and friendships that we will treasure.

Our Kili Experience Was Something To Be Cherished For A Lifetime

Good morning, Gerry,

I would like to share a few thoughts this morning, on “the day after”. I don’t really know where to start, as my heart is so full of our Kili-experience that I tend to get emotional just by thinking back. From the very first moment I realised that we are not just “tourists”, but a person, someone with a name.

I have a close friend who did a 5-day hike (with another company) some years ago, and she tried to prepare me as much as possible for what to expect, but you took me by surprise and outperformed my very highest expectations. There are so many things that deserve to be mentioned, but what surprised me the most was definitely the attitude and spirit of the whole team who assisted in going up the mountain. The way in which they were there to help, congratulate, encourage and assist us, left me without words. They are the most sincere people I have ever met. Their sense of responsibility and friendliness were something that really stood out.

Apart from all the above, there are certain things which are really worth mentioning:

1)  The fact that there was a personal porter available for each of us to carry our daypacks. Apart from saving energy, we could freely use our cameras and just enjoy a leisurely hike. 2)  The fact that there was a hot lunch prepared for us in a tent, made us feel superior compared to other groups. 3)  The fact that the toilets were set up at each camp site, even at lunch, meant a lot for (especially) me (trust me on that one….). 4)  The welcoming singing and dancing of the crew, the hi-5’s we received after every day’s hike – that is the one thing that still brings tears to my eyes and will for ever be one of the most enjoyable memories. 5)  Coffee/tea/wash water etc. at out tents in the morning – who would expect that? First class service! 6)  The group leader (Hosea)’s and others’ concern about our health. 7)  The showers!! (you are the best) 8)  The quality of the meals (I wanted to steal Manuel and bring him back home). 9)  The porters. On difficult days, one of them (Edward, who carried my duffel bag) even took off my gaiters and shoes at the tent, tried to clean them the best he could and even put some rocks under my feet so that my socks don’t get dusty. That kind act filled me with appreciation that is difficult to explain to anyone. 10)  Every personal porter who walked with us every step of the way, who had a water bottle ready whenever we stopped for a break, who even sometimes told us where to put our feet or with which hand to grab a rock.

I could go on much longer, but I will suffice with this. You have very strong leaders among your staff, and it is good for us to know that you look after your people, you pay them well and is concerned about their health too. We would have loved to give so much more, for it is clear that there are certain needs, but I hope that by telling people about your excellence, we could bring more people to make use of your company. I have no doubt in my mind that you are the best. You made absolutely sure that our Kili-experience was something to be cherished for a lifetime.

Kind regards,

We Will Treasure These Memories For a Lifetime

Thrilling, Exhilarating, and Emotional

I have 3 words to describe my feelings when I reached the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro: thrilling, exhilarating, and emotional.  Tears came to my eyes when my fellow climbers hugged and cried.  It was the moment we all realized that we had done it!  After several grueling days, we had successfully climbed to Uhuru Peak.

Truthfully, the climb was very difficult for me.  By day 3 or 4 I wanted to quit, but then I realized that quitting wasn’t an option.  The guides and porters were there to help and encourage you.  If it wasn’t for them, I know I wouldn’t have been successful.  There were a couple of reasons why I felt that I would not be able to reach the top.

1) I went 4 days in a row without getting any sleep.

2) On day 4, I was nauseous all day and night, and I didn’t think I would be able to hike the next day.  I decided to stop taking the diamox, but other people had been nauseous, and they continued taking the medication.  So, I decided to start taking it again the next day.  The nausea eventually went away.  We all continued climbing….pole, pole.   Thankfully, the slow climbing pace was what made the climb a success.

I encountered a few misfortunes on this trip:

1) There was no one to pick me up at the airport when I arrived in Tanzania.

2) One night, the wind blew so hard that the toilet blew over.  This happened at the exact time I needed to use it.  I was experiencing diarrhea and needed to use it right away.  The crew was able to get it upright in the tent again, but I had to use it before they could clean it up.  I realize that there was nothing they could have done about this at the time, but it was a very unpleasant experience.

3) The same night as the toilet incident, some of the stakes holding down my tent were blown loose and my tent started to blow over.  I immediately crawled out of my sleeping bag and tried to hold down 2 corners.  I was really afraid the entire tent would blow over against the rocks with me trapped inside.  The only thing I could do was scream and hope someone heard me.  This went on for about 10 minutes before a fellow climber heard my screams.  He started screaming too, and finally the crew came and secured my tent.

4) I think the high altitude was one of the reasons I had a hard time sleeping.  Every time I got close to falling asleep, I felt like I couldn’t breath, and was jolted into taking a deep breath.  It was a very strange and scary feeling.  Also, during the climb, I was breathing so hard that I thought my heart would explode.  It was like this during the entire climb.

Of course, I am thrilled that I reached the top, but if I had known how hard this was going to be, I would not have signed up for the trip.  Actually, I’m kind of glad I didn’t know how hard it would be, because in the end, perseverance prevailed.  I succeeded, and I’m proud of that.  Wilbert, the crew, and my fellow climbers were all wonderful.  We truly enjoyed each other’s company.  I have some good memories and stories to tell my friends and relatives.

Best wishes,

I would recommend Kiliwarrior Expeditions to family, friends and anyone else considering the Mount Kilimanjaro journey

As I sit back and reflect on my Kilimanjaro experience, it is of utmost importance I recognize the Kiliwarrior Expedition Team. Beginning with the pre-travel emails providing thorough assistance in preparation and packing, to Wilbert and Gerry meeting us at the Kilimanjaro Airport and continuing with the entire team throughout the journey. It was evident the logistics were expertly handled. The team consists of well trained porters, tent managers, chefs, guides and others whom without exception, were professional, courteous and willing to assist in any way possible to make our trip a success. From the Mount Meru Hotel to the transportation, to the meals on the mountain, everything was superb and first class. It is without hesitation, that I would recommend Kiliwarrior Expeditions to family, friends and anyone else considering the Mount Kilimanjaro journey.

International Womens Day Climb

“I am going to climb Kilimanjaro in three months.” This is how it started back in November 2018. The tallest free-standing mountain in the world that towers at 5895 meters (19,341 feet). A mix of surprise, doubt and silence were among people’s reactions. This blondie—too fragile—who feels cold during summer, with zero hiking experience.

Some people said, “She will never make it. She should postpone, try something else.” With the lack of experience and three months’ notice to get ready, they could have been right, but my desire to tackle this challenge was much stronger—maybe a bit of foolishness and pride.

Other people became a real source of motivation and positivity. Whether they adapted their schedule to allow me to go, gave advice on how to prepare, trained with me or wrote letters for the hike, they all started showing an incredible support in their own way.

This would be one of the biggest and hardest adventures in my life. I knew it, but if I wanted to make it, I had to leave doubts, uncertainties and people’s judgments behind me and just go for it!

An epic journey.

We took the 7 Day Machame Route with Kiliwarriors Expeditions. We had decided on this route only because we had family who had completed the Machame Route before. After hiking we now want to come back to be able to do the Western Breach Route with Kiliwarrior Expeditions.

Our guides included Shedrack Alfred and Ephata Ayoub. They were there 150% of the time to support us and aid us in any way possible so that we would successfully and safely summit! We now consider them as family/friends for life since they shared such an epic journey with us and were there when we got engaged at the top of Uhuru Peak!

A HUGE shoutout to Mama Louis for cooking the best food in Tanzania period! He is very skilled at his craft and such a positive spirit to have during the hike. Also a shoutout to Kanini and Kilongo who went up with us for summit night and to Kilongo who brought up sparkling cider for us to drink and celebrate at Uhuru peak. Kanini is one of the most famous guides on the mountain and we felt extra safe having him summit with us since he has been climbing Kilimanjaro for 20 years.

Of course we also appreciated every single one of the porters and camp team as they played a huge role in getting us up the mountain. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s help. Boaz, Ernest, Wilbert for sending us off on Day 1, Gerry for organizing the itinerary/schedule and all others were incredible.

We will be recommending Mt. Kilimanjaro and climbing with Kiliwarrior Expeditions to all our friends and family in the future!

Climbing Kilimanjaro for Charity

Two friends and I did the 9-Day Lemosho Western-Breach hike up Kili for charity back in July. Kiliwarrior Expeditions and their amazing guides ensured that everything went so smoothly and I truly believe that having such a wonderful, caring group of people lead you up Kilimanjaro is the way to go.

I felt like I was treated as a person and really got to bond with my fellow climbers and our guides, and porters.

I can’t recommend them enough for how doable they made the climb, even when things got hard on the day we got over the Western-Breach. From the incredible food(thanks Mama Louis) to the songs that kept us motivated throughout the trip from the staff who seemed to truly enjoy being with us. Thank you for making this trip unforgettable.

We raised a total of $ 44,306 US for children battling cancer! Our goal was $ 20,000 US

What an incredible team!

So incredibly impressed with ALL the porters and guides. They made my summit their single goal. I can’t express how completely thrilled I was with everything and everyone from Kiliwarrior Expeditions. Their level of service blew my mind. The whole team worked so well and seamlessly together.

Of course you see your guides and cook and camp manager but then you start to realize and appreciate the guy who carries the propane or the food or the dishwasher. If anyone is considering a climb DO NOT HESITATE to use Kiliwarrior Expeditions.

I even felt like they made sure we had perfect weather. Finally a personal shout out of gratitude to Shedrack, Felix, Alex, Juma, Adam and Dani. I hope you all are doing well.

I would strongly recommend them

From my very first set of interactions with Gerry Analytis , to my last meal in Arusha with  Wilbert Mollel and  Tom Analytis , Kiliwarrior Expeditions exceeded my expectations every single time.

Their planning is meticulous, execution flawless, and professionalism at par with the best in the business. They genuinely care for your well-being and go to, literally, any lengths to ensure you are safe and comfortable. If you do plan to summit Mt Kilimanjaro, I would strongly recomme nd them.

Tip: Ever fancied a pizza at 16,000 feet? That’s right, Mama Louise made one for us and I’m sure he’ll make one for you too!

Happy climbing!

You’ll eat like a King or Queen…

My three daughters and I did the Western-Breach Route with Kiliwarriors in early August 2019. Just an awesome experience. The guides and porters with Kiliwarriors have to be THE BEST on hte mountain. And no one is preparing food on the mountain the way Mama Louis does. You’ll eat like a king and queen… and you NEED to in order to be properly fueled to summit.

A 5 Star Experience From Start To Finish

After extensive research, and after reading reviews for all the major guide companies, I chose Kiliwarriors for our (me and 4 daughters) Kilimanjaro adventure in August, 2019. I was first impressed by the thoroughness of their website and the detailed description of the various climbs they support. Their packing list was spot on- we had everything we needed, and nothing that we didn’t. Email exchanges were direct and concise, making sure we had everything set to go well before we left the US. Starting from our meeting on arrival at JRO, and ending with our drop off, also at JRO, every step along the way was covered without any surprises. The support staff were tremendous, and made our trek as effortless as a climb to almost 20k feet can be. Truth be told, great food really does make a difference, and we had plenty of it and a great variety, even for my somewhat picky vegetarian daughters and not-so-vegetarian me. A 5 star experience start to finish. In summary, I highly recommend Kiliwarriors for your Kilimanjaro trek without reservation.

Thank you for the most amazing distraction from the pandemic!

Wilbert, Gerry, Hosea, Shedrack, Kinini, Louis and many others…

Thank you for the most extraordinary experience. We honestly had some reservations about whether it was sensible/responsible for us to climb in September 2020 considering the global COVID-19 situation, but we are so happy that we did. Tanzania with few tourists isn’t something that you really consider until you get there and you have the mountain to yourself.

I climbed Kilimanjaro in 2015 with Kiliwarriors. Hosea and Shedrack (our lead and assistant guides) were both porters on my first climb — it was great to see them again and gratifying to be able to give them much needed work during this dark time.

As many others have attested and my repeat business shows, these guys know the mountain and know how to make it comfortable and enjoyable. Beyond that, though, they are just incredible people. Trust them. They will get you to the top.

Asante sana

An absolutely awesome experience

An absolutely awesome experience climbing with Kiliwarriors via Lemosho-Western Breach route in 2019. This was my second time up the mountain, first time was 20 years ago via Marangu route, but the first time cannot compare with Kiliwarriors expedition. Excellent, professional and absolutely no worries at any time of the climb. Highly recommended.

Love from Montana!

I climbed back in September! I can’t express the gratitude I have for all the Kiliwarrior’s crew! The hospitality and the genuine kindness of everyone! I recommend anyone who has climbing Kilimanjaro on their bucket list, climbing with Kiliwarriors! Hands down one of the best experiences of my life! Love from Montana!

It’s amazing how quickly strangers become friends..

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro had become something of an obsession over the last two years

The thought of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro had become something of an obsession over the last two years. I think I watched every YouTube video and read every scrap of information that I could about it. When I talked it over with my wife I knew that we would need to find the best possible guides to help us on our way. Kiliwarriors met and exceeded every expectation I had. I cannot overstate their incredible professionalism, courtesy, and most importantly their humanity. Its obvious that this is more than just a job for them. Their passion and concern for their clients is obvious. The food they prepare and serve each day is gourmet and far beyond anything you could imagine enjoying on the side of a mountain. Each meal is prepared by “mama” Louis (Chef), and served by the legendary Kanini (Camp Manager) both of whom overflow with pride at their work. The guides are experts at not only knowing the mountain, but also at knowing people and how to help each client meet their specific goals safely and efficiently. I will always fondly remember each member of the team for all of the warmth and support they showed the entire journey. In the end I can say that while I came for the mountain I ultimately found so much more in the people. We also took advantage of our time in country to go on safari with Kiliwarriors. What a joy! George our guide/driver was an inexhaustible source of enthusiasm for his country, culture, and every description of animal. His sharp eyes would ferret out even small mice in the bushes and he could then go on at great length about their numbers and diets. During my early planning I examined several companies in an effort to find the right fit. while I am sure there are other reputable and worthy companies out there, Kiliwarriors more than earned my enthusiastic support and business. At every turn they were there for us and I know that they will continue to act as such with all of their clients.

My wife and I have always dreamt about climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro!

“An experience with my daughter that I will cherish the rest of my life .”

My daughter and my climb with Kiliwarrior’s was a trip of a lifetime. We had been talking about it for 5 years. Kiliwarrior’s service and guidance was bar none the best I have ever had. The entire team from the guides, cooks, camp personnel and porters was outstanding. Their total commitment in making sure we were properly provided for made this trip one that I will cherish for my entire life. How many dad’s get to spend 16 days alone with their 27 year old daughter on an adventure? I am truly blessed to have shared such a adventure with my baby girl. And Kiliwarrior’s made it all possible.

Journey Era x Kiliwarrior Expeditions

I’m Jackson, an Australian adventure traveler who has been on the road for eight years now.  Our journey to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro with the Kiliwarriors. A strong name for a brave group of men who carry 20kg loads, tents, and supplies along the journey. Kiliwarrior Expeditions  offer a premium Kili experience with all of the extra trimmings that made this trip one of the most luxurious camping experiences of my life.

In this guide to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Western Breach, it will be split into two sections. First I will share with you my photos and journal from each day of the trek. In the second section, I will brief you on everything you need to know about Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro including what to pack, costs, alternate routes, the best time of year to climb, and where to stay in Arusha before your climb.

Kilelema means ‘that which is difficult or impossible’ and the translation of Njaro means ‘bird’. History tells us when local tribes looked up at the mountain we know now as Kilimanjaro, they saw it as a perilous peak too difficult to reach, even for birds.

What an amazing experience!

From beginning to end this company was super professional. From booking the trip, to airport pick up and drop off, to the hotel, to sight seeing, to guiding us up Kilimanjaro, to eating incredible food up the mountain. Everything was done for you, making this trip stress free. The only thing you had to do was climb, “pole pole” to the summit and then back down. Thanks for making this bucket list dream trip a reality, Kiliwarrior Expeditions!

Highly Professional Team

They are a highly professional team with guides with experience of seventeen years. They are well known by other companies, porters and guides all over the mountain. Their staff are capable of adapting towards each individual client’s needs. Their camp chef can cook according to your dietary restrictions or preferences which was a big plus. They ensure that you are well prepared by going over your gear and calorie intake and are never short in providing the much needed mental support. They are a lively, active and disciplined bunch made hard by the mountain.

Climbing Kilimanjaro had a bigger purpose for me

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with Kiliwarrior Expeditions was an incredible and life changing experience

Without a doubt climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was the best trip I have been on

My husband and I decided to hike Kilimanjaro to celebrate our 50th birthdays over the summer of 2020

This was my first multi-day hiking/camping trip

As this was my first multi-day hiking/camping trip, I was nervous about my ability to manage. From the moment I met Wilbert at the airport, to gear check, to our first team meeting, I knew I was in good hands. From mama Luis’s delicious soups, to Kanini’s morning wake up calls, Shedrack’s jokes, Efatha’s helping hand, and everyone else’s smiles and cheers, I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect, safe, and beautiful experience. I trusted every single one of the team with my life, and I know I was able to summit because of their care and guidance. I can’t recommend these amazing people enough. With absolute gratitude, Lenka

We just returned from a two week trip with Kiliwarriors

We just returned from a two week trip with Kiliwarriors consisting of the Western Breach climb and the safari. What is already a “bucket list” trip was made all the more memorable and special because of the Kiliwarrior team. Our guides, Hosea, Efatha, Elijah, and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible: not only did they make sure we were comfortable and safe, but they also treated us like family (we learned early on that dada and kaka are Swahili for sister and brother respectively) and we formed a special bond with them during what was a fun but sometimes challenging adventure. Additionally, while camping for 8 days is not easy, the team did outdid themselves to make sure we were comfortable – they handled everything (setting up the tents, carrying our gear, bringing us hot water to wash in, etc.) so that we could focus on the climb itself. Not to mention the wonderful meals by Luis and team – we had expected basic food but they went out of their way to make creative, delicious meals with fresh fruit/veg and meat every single day. As avid hikers living in Colorado, we were thankful that we chose the Western Breach. Not only was the trail up less busy and more scenic, the Western Breach was an unforgettable experience in itself and made the summit that much sweeter. The safari was also wonderful – our driver, George, was knowledgeable, flexible, and had a real eye for spotting wildlife. If you can swing it, I’d recommend staying at Kubu Kubu over Kati Kati – although Kati Kati was great, it wasnt close to the comfort/luxury Kubu Kubu offers. It was a perfect way to end our trip. I would highly recommend Kiliwarrior Expeditions!

We had an amazing trip with the entire Kiliwarrior experience.

We had an amazing trip with the entire Kiliwarrior experience. From the early preparation discussions, through the pick up and packing and up to the top of the mountain, no details were left unaddressed. The local team, led by Wilbert, knew every inch of the mountain and helped us through very challenging conditions. I would highly recommend that anyone considering climbing Kilimanjaro or heading out for one of the safaris talk to the Kiliwarrior group. You will not be disappointed. It is the trip of a lifetime and you want to make sure that you have the best support throughout.

I recommend using the Kiliwarrior Expeditions team for your Summit

If you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro, I recommend using the Kiliwarrior Expeditions team for your Summit. I had the pleasure of traveling with them September 2018 and they took care of us as if we were part of their family from the first day of our arrival ~ our lead guide, Shedrack, was at the airport to greet us and make sure we got settled into our hotel on arrival day. On the climb, our 3 wonderful guides, Shedrack, Nsagi and Felix, kept checking in with each of us to make sure we were ok, were keeping hydrated, eating enough and sleeping enough to be successful during our long climb. Most importantly, they maintained a positive attitude and kept us motivated for the mental challenges of the climb. Every detail of the trip was well planned and handled in a professional manner, with plenty of fun along the way as well. I believe that I was able to achieve the Summit because of the fantastic support of the Kiliwarriors team.

This was one of the best trips of my life!

We have just finished a Kilimanjaro summit on the Western Breach route, and a safari with Kiliwarriors. This was one of the best trips of my life! I’ve got to say that this would not have been possible without the extraordinary organization of the guides and porters of Kiliwarriors. I cannot say enough positive things about this group. They were extraordinarily well organized, were great helping us prepare equipment and documents before the trip, provided excellent well-trained guides for the climb and safari, and were able to deal rapidly and efficiently with the inevitable minor problems that occur before, during, and after the climb and safari. But, to us the best and most memorable part of the trip was the warmth, friendly attitudes, and infectious good humor of the guides and ALL the porters! At the risk of leaving out the names of all the people that helped us on this adventure, we’d like to give special thanks to Wilbert, Shedrack, Felix, and Efatha, Khanay (Kanie sp?), Bracca(sp?), and Boni (our safari guide). By the end of the trip, we felt a part of a group of very close friends! Thanks to the entire Kiliwarrior Team, who made this an extraordinary adventure of a lifetime!

Experiences of a lifetime!

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and doing a safari with Kiliwarriors were experiences of a lifetime! They took the best care of us from initially planning the trip, providing a gear list (definitely make sure you have everything on it!), picking us up and dropping us off, coordinating a COVID test, and getting us up and down the mountain safely. Everybody along the way was so kind and friendly. Our head guides were Shedrak and Efatha. They are both so knowledgeable, encouraging, and ensured we were hiking within our abilities and having fun. Their friendly demeanors made me feel welcome right from the beginning! Mama Luis was everything I could have hoped for in a chef – he took such pride in keeping us strong and healthy for the trek, and I wish he had a cookbook so I could make the same meals at home! It truly takes a village to get anybody up Kilimanjaro. For a group of 3 of us climbers, we had 25 porters. They are the true MVPs, quickly hiking up the mountain and having everything set up by the time we made it to camp. We even had a toilet tent, in addition to the comfort of foam pads and a pillow to sleep on. They are also such happy people, and were like family to each other, and with how welcoming they were, I felt like a part of it too! Summit day of the climb was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I have Kiliwarriors to thank for making it such a positive experience. Our safari was led by Jonas. He has, what seemed like, an encyclopedic knowledge of all the animals. We saw SO many animals, and even lucked out seeing an endangered black rhino. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring a nicer camera, but Jonas was so kind to send us the photos he took. The accommodations were breathtaking. I couldn’t recommend anybody more highly for this incredible adventure than Kiliwarrior Expeditions!

By far the best expedition company on Kilimanjaro!

By far the best expedition company on Kilimanjaro! I did the 9 day western breach route and also did the 1 day Tarangire safari. Kiliwarrior Expeditions is squared away on everything. From making sure you’re as prepared you can be to the transfers to and from the airport and park gates to the follow up afterwards to ensure all expectations were met. The entire time we were in Tanzania Kiliwarrior and the awesome group of guides and drivers cared for our every need. Our head guides Shedrack and Efatha along with all the other porters truly made the experience memorable. Every morning they greet you and and ask how your doing and you can tell they really care for you and want you to make it to the summit. We had Jonas for our safari. Jonas is very knowledgeable and knows the park very well. He answered all of our questions and we even saw 2 lions! The park was full of animals and Jonas was able to tell us something new about each one every time. If you’re considering climbing Kilimanjaro or even just doing a safari I highly recommend Kiliwarrior Expeditions.

The hardest thing my wife and I have EVER done

‘Summiting Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Western-Breach route was the hardest thing my wife and I have EVER done. It is also our most exhilarating and noteworthy achievement, BUT… the real hero’s are our Kiliwarrior support team. Nine climbers, SIXTY in the support team including guides, a chef, cooks, cleaners, porters… everyone carries. Every drop of water for our showers, to flush the portaloo, the portaloo itself, the shower & loo cubicles, the sleeping tents, mattresses, pillows, our 15kg kit bags with our sleeping bags & personal items, mess tents, tables, chairs, pots & pans, solar lights, all the food, fragile eggs & squashable bread, emergency equipment including oxygen, is carried up hectic, rocky, unstable slopes. Each day, AFTER we leave camp, they dissemble and load themselves like mules. Throughout the day, in groups, they pass us: “Porters on the left” becomes a song that dominos down our line of hikers so that we can step out of the way so as not to break their rhythm. By the time we arrive at our next camp, everything is already perfectly set up AND… believe it or not, this cheerful team backtrack to meet us. They relieve us of our backpacks and carry them the last bit of the way to camp. They offer to remove our boots and bring us a bowl of warm water to wash with. They serve us & care for us. They encourage us with their chants of “sawa sawa” (okay okay) and “pole pole” (slowly slowly). They help us with our footholds when the slope is tricky and unstable. They position our feet when our hands are gripping tightly to rocks above our heads and we daren’t look down. What amazing people! THANK YOU KILIWARRIOR EXPEDITIONS… we could not have done this without you. You humble us!!!”

You will be safe, eat delicious and enjoy every single step

We climbed Kilimanjaro on February and it was an amazing experience Ephata and Nsaji, our guides and the rest of the crew were always supportive and making sure that we were having a great time. Doing Lemosho Western-breach was the best decision ever, the views are wonderful, we had enough time to properly acclimatize, and seeing the Northern Icefield was incredible. Highly recommend Kiliwarrior Expeditions, you will be safe, eat delicious and enjoy every single step

Best guides on the mountain

I present to you the absolute legends that got me to the top. This special group of individuals operated like a well oiled machine. Best guides on the mountain, fastest porters around and no one was eating better than us when “Mama” Louis was cooking. These guys are looked at like superstars by the other teams and locals. No one else comes close. Thank you Shedrack, Efatha, Gilbert, Omary, Louis, Kanini, Alfani, Johannes, and all the others!

Experience of My Lifetime

Is “5 star service” at 19,000 feet possible.

Is “5 star service” at 19,000 feet possible? Emphatically YES, and KiliWarrior Expeditions (or KiliWarriors) delivers! From my initial contact with Tom and Gerry, the Montreal-based manager and partner through to my final departure from Kilimanjaro International Airport, Kiliwarriors was there with me, every step. A friend and I decided to do the Lemosho Western Breach route, which is a longer, specialized route that few operators even offer because it requires special skills on the part of the guides and porters to get you safely to the summit.

I opted for a personal porter to carry my day pack as I anticipated having a bit more trouble, and am glad I did. My porter was one of the first people I saw in the morning and the last I saw at night. In addition to carrying his pack and my day pack, he was able to assist me through tricky terrain. And this is one of the reasons I call their service “5 stars”. At no time are you “rushed” to keep up with a group. Instead, you move at YOUR pace, and one of the assistant guides and porters will stay with you. They will show you exact foot placement if needed. Additionally, as you’re trekking along, it’s not a “dreary silent slog” up the mountain. They share information and experiences about their own culture and tribes (there are over 120 tribes in Tanzania, the major ones in the Kilimanjaro area are Masai and Chagga). They’re also incredibly knowledgeable about the unique fauna and flora on the mountain, as well as the geologic history. The days rate beautiful and fascinating. This really helps make the trip even more enjoyable and memorable.

The food is incredible – 3 multi-course, cooked-from-scratch meals a day! The portions are huge (to keep you well fueled for the climb): Everything is fresh and flavorful. You’ll be eating a lot of fresh fruits, meats, stews and curries with rice, and really nice desserts. In fact, you’ll have pizza at one lunch and popcorn as an afternoon snack every day to celebrate a day’s climb well-done.

You’ll be sleeping in small, comfortable mountain tents in very warm mummy sleeping bags. You’ll also have access to the luxury of a camping shower at lower elevations.

It was an amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro with KiliWarrior Expeditions. I highly recommend them!

Kiliwarrior did an excellent job

Kiliwarrior did an excellent job of making sure every need was met and making it possible to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro.

I have my doubts I could have summited Mt. Kilimanjaro without the expert assistance of Kiliwarriors.

I have my doubts I could have summited Mt. Kilimanjaro without the expert assistance of Kiliwarriors. On the front end, every question imaginable was asked, and answered with patience and kindness. On the hike itself, they had a fantastic team, always kept a positive outlook (which was contagious), and made it fun. The food was delicious and abundant, the staff went out of their way to provide support when needed, and they offered so many more little things that contributed to our success at reaching the mountaintop. It was the trip of a lifetime. We left the mountain as we found it, and brought lots of memories back home.

Kiliwarriors has the best team on the mountain by far!

Kiliwarriors has the best team on the mountain by far! Each and every one of their staff (from the guides to the porters and admin staff) cares about their client’s wellbeing above and beyond what I expected. It is because of this care and their attention to every detail that they have such a high summit rate! The Western Breach route has the best views on the mountain and I highly recommend! Thankyou Kiliwarriors for an amazing experience and I hope to join you for gorilla trekking in the future.

Kiliwarriors organised an unforgetable trip for us

Kiliwarriors organised an unforgetable trip for us and I can’t recommend them enough. The Kilimanjaro expidition (Lemosho route via Western Breach) was well paced, had great food and so much positive energy that it almost made it hard not to summit. The following 3 day Safari was beyond expectations and the guide was super knowledgeble.

Highly recommend.

We received the absolute best care. Guides were very attentive and supportive. Highly recommend.

What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Mount Kilimanjaro

I cannot say enough good things about this company. From the initial planning to the transfer back to the airport, Almighty Kilimanjaro Travel was amazing. As you plan your trek with them, they are available to answer all questions, incredibly organized and flexible with changes. Everything was on time and exactly as planned.all the rental gear is there, you can leave behind valuables and large bags for no additional charge (they are very meticulous about caring for your valuables, I was not concerned at all). Basically, everything can be accomplished at the hotel, it makes it very seamless and easy. The room are good, breakfast is included and the property is well taken care of. . The service they provided for the trek exceeded expectations. We had 6 guides and 34 porters for 10 of us. The equipment was in good shape and top of the line. The porter's equipment was also good quality. (Some of the budget companies do not take care of their porters). The food they provided was outstanding. Pancakes and eggs for breakfast, soup and chicken or beef dishes with rice, vegetables and fruit for lunch and dinner. Many condiments, peanut butter, jelly, Nutella, etc. Hot tea and even popcorn as an appetizer. They had no problem catering to special diets and that food was amazing as well. We ate in a large tent at one big table with regular chairs, a table cloth, and plates and silverware, very civil. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and perceptive. They were very proactive about trying to keep us healthy. They watched everyone pretty closely and offered assistance if they saw you starting to struggle. We were briefed everyday on what to expect for the following day. They took the time to answer all questions and always asked for input on our plan. Everyday we are woken up with hot tea brought to the tent, nice touch. Half way though some of the day hikes they would set up a tea and biscuit table in the middle of the trail where we would stop to take a break, that was a nice touch as well. Summit night is incredibly strenuous. These are the guides that you want to assist you. They will carry your pack if need be, motivate you the whole way up and down and basically take care of you any way that they can. Almighty kilimanjaro had four other groups of 30 people that started the same day as us, EVERYONE SUMMITED, all 40 people. That was impressive. We added on a four day safari and that service was top notch as well. The accommodations that they booked for us were really unbelievable, very nice. The vehicle was comfortable with Wi-Fi available and a refrigerator. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Couple of recommendations. Rent the private toilet. This is a game changer. Getting up in the middle of the night and having it right there was very convenient and the public ones were usually a hole in the ground, far from the camp. Bring snacks, bars, trail mix, etc. You don't need a thermos, some sites I read say to have one, not necessary. 4 in our group took Diamox, 6 did not, everyone summited, it's a personal choice. On a final note, I wrote an email with a couple of suggestions, and received an immediate response directly from the owner of Almighty Kilimanjaro. Their customer service is bar none! This group really cares about their guests and you will be in the best hands.

I got Covid from someone in the group. For a high altitude hike like this, we should have been tested for Covid. It not like I could avoid it, we ate together in an enclosed tent.

We summited Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route with Spider Tours And Safaris. 6 days on the mountain. There were 6 of us in the group with an age range from 14 to 66. Our guides Emanuel Peter and Marco were great - attentive, knowledgeable, encouraging. The chef did an excellent job keeping us fueled.The whole team, guides to porters, were very supportive and made it possible for all of us to reach the top, and we all did.

Description

Join us for an unforgettable hiking adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro! Known as “the Roof of Africa” and towering over its surrounding valleys at an astounding elevation of 19,341 feet (5,985 m), Kilimanjaro is one of the “7 Summits” of the world!

At Wildland, our approach is to get our guests ‘off the beaten path’ for a fuller, more novel experience of the world’s wilderness destinations. On this trip we follow the Rongai Route which provides wonderful solitude and exposes our guests to different environments and views of the mountain before merging with the more popular Marangu route. Trekking Kilimanjaro requires no technical ability, just hiking, while the main challenge is the elevation. We have created the ideal 10-day itinerary for optimal acclimatization and a high success rate of reaching the summit.

After our Kilimanjaro hike, we provide the option for an add-on Wildlife Safari and Cultural Tour. The  Wild Africa Safari visits the Maasai, Datoga and Hadzabe tribes and Wildlife Safaris in Tanzania’s famous Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro National Parks.

*Itinerary Note: Wildland Trekking stands alone in providing a complete experience on Kilimanjaro. We have a well-tested acclimatization process to increase your chances of a successful summit attempt. Your Kilimanjaro itinerary is not just a climb of the mountain but also includes an extra rest day after your travels in Tanzania to experience the local culture. Many companies economize by getting you in and out as quickly as possible, and that is the opposite of the Wildland approach.

Learn About Our Private Trips

Jambo and welcome to Tanzania! Today is arrival day. The Wildland team will pick you up from the airport and shuttle you to our hotel for the next 2 nights in the nearby city of Moshi. Here, you can rest from your travels by the pool, in your room with a lovely veranda, or at the enjoy food and drinks at the restaurant. If we are lucky, the clouds will dissipate and allow us our first glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro during sunset. After we enjoy dinner together, your lead guide will conduct a full orientation meeting to review the itinerary specifics, gear & packing details, health considerations, and answer any questions. Be sure to drink copious amounts of water throughout the day, as flying and traveling can dehydrate you. Self-care begins immediately.

• Hiking Mileage: 3.1 miles (5km)
• Elevation Gain/Loss: Minimal
• Trekking Duration: ~3 hours
• Driving Time: 1 hour

After breakfast at the hotel, we will shuttle to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro to the village of Materuni. Here, we will set out on a light hike to an amazing waterfall along the Mware River. Today’s hike helps with acclimatization while not being too strenuous after your long travels. Materuni Falls, born from melting ice and snow flowing from the top of the mountain, plunges over 220 feet (67 meters)! At these majestic falls we’ll enjoy a relaxing break, a swim if you like, and a delicious picnic lunch before heading back to the village. We’ll then visit a coffee farm and see how Arabica and Robust coffee beans are grown by the Chagga people. They are known to be the best farmers in Tanzania.  You will be served a delicious cup of rich and aromatic coffee. After enjoying this cultural treat, we’ll head back to the hotel to relax before dinner. Get some rest; tomorrow our expedition begins!

• Hiking Mileage: 4.1 miles (6.6km)
• Elevation Gain: 2,075 feet (632m)
• Elevation Loss: 50 feet (15m)
• Trekking Duration: 3-4 hours

Today is the official start of our expedition to climb Kilimanjaro! We head out on a roughly 3-hour drive to the village of Nale Moru where our trek begins. In Nale Moru, after meeting our entire crew and team, we will have a hot lunch. Our porters will get our personal gear organized and packed for the hike, and then we begin the trek! We’ll start hiking on a path that climbs gently and consistently through the beautiful, temperate forests that drape the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Along the way, we may have opportunities to view some wildlife: Colobus Monkeys are often abundant along with many species of birds, reptiles and gazelles. We continue hiking until we arrive at Simba Camp (8,650 ft./2,636 m.) for the night. Facing North, we’ll have stunning views of the plains of Kenya while we enjoy a delicious meal and a relaxing evening.

• Hiking Mileage: 3.5 miles (5.6km)
• Elevation Gain: 2,765 feet (843m)

Waking up on Kilimanjaro with Wildland means getting a hot drink of your choice delivered to your tent and a warm bowl of water to wash your hands and face. What a way to start the day! Then comes a nutritious breakfast to fuel our day’s activities. Today we head up the trail and immediately have outstanding views of Kibo Peak and the Eastern Ice Fields sitting on the crater rim. Arriving at Second Cave Camp (11,415 ft./3,480 m.) by lunch allows us to relax for a bit and give our bodies time to acclimatize before an afternoon walk to higher elevations, which helps us further our acclimatization process. Everything we do on the mountain is designed to prepare us for our summit bid. This includes constant self-care, proper acclimatization practices, and hiking “pole, pole”, translated “slowly, slowly” in Swahili.

• Hiking Mileage: 3.6 miles (5.8km)
• Elevation Gain: 1,060 feet (323m)
• Elevation Loss: 415 feet (126m)
• Trekking Duration: 4 hours

After our morning drinks and full breakfast, we will pack up to hike towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Our hike through the open moorlands continues until we reach a small set of caves created by past historic lava flows. We will briefly explore these caves (optional) before making our last push to Kikelewa Camp (12,175’/3,711m) and our awaiting lunch. Again, arriving to camp by lunch allows time to recuperate and relax before another afternoon acclimatization hike. The views from tonight’s camp are spectacular and the sunset not to be missed. As darkness falls, the lights in small, far off Kenyan villages dot the landscape below us. Warm dinner and drinks are served before the nightly briefing and health check by your guide.

• Hiking Mileage: 2.2 miles (3.5km)
• Elevation Gain: 2,080 feet (634m)
• Elevation Loss: 30 feet (9m)
• Trekking Duration: 4-5 hours

On this morning, we depart Kikelewa Cave and ascend to Mawenzi Tarn camp (14,120 ft./4,304 m.). The hike today is relatively short, and we will make it to camp before lunch once again. The views from this campsite are absolutely stunning. After a hot lunch, we will enjoy an acclimatization hike in the surrounding area and take in more of the views from our incredible vantage point. We will be back at camp with time to wash up before dinner is served.

• Hiking Mileage: 5.2 miles (8.4km)
• Elevation Gain: 1,720 feet (524m)
• Elevation Loss: 400 feet (122m)
• Trekking Duration: 6 hours

We leave camp early with beautiful views of Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks after a full breakfast. Above 14,000 feet, it can be challenging to hike, so we will take our time and begin trekking across the high-altitude desert to our basecamp at Kibo Hut (15,425 ft./4,702 m.). Upon our arrival at basecamp, we will eat lunch and then rest in our tents before an early dinner is served. After dinner, your guides will conduct a final briefing and health check. Then, we turn in to get our final rest and sleep before our summit attempt. We will be waking up around 11:30 pm to enjoy hot drinks and snacks before starting our ascent to the Kilimanjaro summit at Uruhu Peak!

Summit Attempt Optional Hike:

• Hiking Mileage: 6 miles (9.7km)
• Elevation Gain/Loss: 4,050 feet (1,235m)

As we begin our summit attempt, we’ll only bring what we need. Typically, the sky is clear and filled with stars. It is a very peaceful time to be on the mountain. We’ll continue hiking with our goal to reach the edge of the crater at Gillman’s Point (18,652 ft./5,685 m.). Next, we will traverse the crater rim to Stella Point (18,885 ft./5,756 m.), where a few trails converge to start the final ascent to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak (19,341 ft./5,895 m.). At the summit we’ll soak up the gratification of our achievement. Looking down towards the valleys and forests surrounding Kilimanjaro as the sun rises, most hikers feel this is one of the most memorable half-hours of their lives. After we take our photos at Uhuru Peak, we’ll begin our decent back to basecamp.

Kibo Hut to Horombo Hut Hike:

• Hiking Mileage: 5.6 miles (9km)
• Elevation Gain: 80 feet (24m)
• Elevation Loss: 3,190 feet (972m)
• Trekking Duration: 10-14 hours (Summit & hike to camp combined here)

Upon arrival at basecamp, we will rest and have lunch before beginning our 3-hour, gentle descent to Horombo camp (12,300 ft./3,749 m.) along the famous and popular Marangu route. NOTE: This is a very long day, and most guests are very tired upon reaching basecamp and then walking to Horombo.

• Hiking Mileage: 12.1 miles (19.5km)
• Elevation Gain: 220 feet (67m)
• Elevation Loss: 6,350 feet (1,935m)
• Trekking Duration: 6-8 hours
• Accommodations: Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel

Today is the last day of our trek on Mt. Kilimanjaro and it’s a long beautiful hike through a constantly changing landscape. Along the way, we stop at the Mandara Huts for a long break before continuing down. This tropical area often has groups of Blue monkeys and possibly the rarer Colobus monkeys. We’ll be descending to where the Marangu route begins/ends at the Marangu gate entrance of the Park. Here we’ll have a hot lunch upon our arrival. For those guests who made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro, climbed to Stella Point or Gilliman’s Point, you will collect official certificates from Kilimanjaro National Park before saying goodbye to your mountain crew — in classic Kilimanjaro style with songs and dancing!

Tonight, we get back to our accommodations in Moshi and have one final celebratory dinner capping off this adventure of a lifetime!

For guests only joining our Kilimanjaro Trek, you will be transported back to Kilimanjaro International Airport today. For guests joining our  Wild Africa Safari , today is Day 1 of the Safari itinerary, so we will leave early and transfer to our first day’s activities.

Optional Add-on Safari

Make the most of your time in Africa with an add-on Safari tour that takes place after your trek to Kilimanjaro (on Day 10)! 6 days in length and all-inclusive, our Safari Add-on tour is an opportunity to experience Africa’s amazing wildlife and unique, colorful cultures.  Click here to read more about our Add-on Safari Tour!

Wildland Trekking stands alone in providing a complete experience on Kilimanjaro. We have a well-tested acclimatization process to increase your chances of summiting. Your Kilimanjaro trek is not just a climb of the mountain but also includes an extra rest day to experience the local culture. Many companies economize by getting you in and out as quickly as possible, and that is the opposite of the Wildland approach.

Our Tanzania communications team will be in contact approximately  45 days before your trip to coordinate your rendezvous and answer any last-minute questions you have.

Click here to see a printable, downloadable trip information packet with more detailed guidance about flights, shuttles, recommended lodging and more.

Pre and Post-trip On Request Lodging

We secure limited amounts of pre and post trip lodging in Moshi, Tanzania as an optional add-on for guests of this trip. This lodging is on request, and is available on a first come, first serve basis. If interested, please reach out directly  to our team to check availability.

Travel to Kilimanjaro International Airport

Booking flights.

For our Kilimanjaro Trek you will need to arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (near Moshi, Tanzania, airport code JRO) on the day the trip begins, no later than 4 P.M. Your guide will rendezvous with you at the airport and transport you to our hotel for the first 2 nights, Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel. The shuttle from the airport to the resort is usually 45 minutes-1 hour. There will only be one airport shuttle departure for the group. Your return flight should be scheduled for the final day of the tour after 9 A.M and only one group shuttle is planned for the group.

If you would like a shuttle to/from the airport at a different time, please contact the Adventure Consultant team to arrange a private shuttle for you.

Flights to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) are the guest’s responsibility. Multiple airlines operate connecting flights into JRO, but we recommend connecting through Amsterdam or Qatar. Most international airports in the U.S., Australia, Canada and Europe have flights that fly to these five connecting cities. The total travel time varies from 14 to 30 hours depending on the origin and number and duration of layovers.

Please Note: We recommend not flying with Kenya Airways because the connecting flight from Nairobi is often changed or cancelled, and they have a poor track record with losing luggage.

Porter Team

Anyone who has climbed to the summit of Kilimanjaro could not have achieved this goal without the tremendous support and effort made by local porters and guides. It takes a team, not an individual, to reach the summit of Africa and we have the upmost respect and fondness of every member of our expedition teams. Throughout Kilimanjaro’s climbing history and sadly still today, some porters do not receive the support and care from certain segments of the industry that they tirelessly deliver climb after climb to adventure travelers from all over the world.

We voluntarily participate with KPAP’s monitoring activities and allow KPAP to evaluate the treatment of our porters on all of our climbs. By climbing with us you can be assured that your porters are well taken care of.

KPAP also helps to improve the working conditions of porters by:

• Lending donated clothing at no charge to the mountain crew for use while climbing
• Educating the public on porter working conditions and climbing responsibly
• Providing industry guidelines for proper porter treatment
• Offering educational classes to porters

Please consider supporting KPAP by making a financial contribution to enable them to continue with their Partner for Responsible Travel Program and free services for porters. To make a donation, please visit https://kiliporters.org/

Safety Precautions

Your safety is our top priority. Our hiking tours are led by professional hiking guides, all of whom are wilderness-certified first responders or EMT’s, each with years of guiding and wilderness experience. Guides adhere to standardized risk management protocols in case of any potential or actual incident, and all tours carry an emergency communication device and comprehensive first-aid kit. Additionally we have a “24/7” system through which guides or guests can reach Wildland support personnel at any time.

In the interest of your safety, it’s important to refer to the  Center for Disease Control website  for up-to-date recommendations on immunizations before your trip.

Essential Eligibility Criteria

Essential Eligibility Criteria (“EEC”)  have been specifically identified to help you understand the skills and abilities necessary to participate on each Wildland trip, and they apply uniformly to all potential trip participants, irrespective of the presence or absence of any disability.

Once you identify a trip in which you may be interested, please carefully review the  EEC  and itinerary details. If after reviewing the EEC that apply to your desired trip, you determine you need an accommodation in order to meet the EEC, please  contact us  prior to registering to discuss your requested accommodation.

The EEC exist for your own safety and the safety and enjoyment of all participants. If you are unable to meet the EEC for the trip, with or without an accommodation, you are not eligible for that trip. If you register and arrive for a trip for which you do not meet the EEC, you will be disqualified from participation on the trip and will be dismissed or evacuated from the trip without a refund.

Our approach to international travel is to combine the best of two worlds: the dialed-in details, professionalism and consistency Wildland trips are known for; and the cultural immersion and intimate regional knowledge that only locals can provide. To excel with this approach, we vet and hire the best local guides, welcome them into the Wildland family and train them to meet our standard of excellence with every aspect of a trip. But along with managing logistics and safety, your guides will teach you about the area’s history and culture, and provide a level of familiarity and intimate detail only locals can.

Weather on Kilimanjaro

The temperatures on Mount Kilimanjaro vary tremendously from hot and exposed to quite cold. The trek from the national park entrance to the summit is the climatic equivalent of traveling from Brazilian rain forests to the Arctic in just a couple days. We will hike through 4 different ecological zones, representing a massive range of temperatures as we ascend toward the summit. Temperatures will be warm in Moshi.

The average temperatures and precipitation on Kilimanjaro are:

• Accommodations

CHANYA LODGE

Chanya in Kiswahili translates to “positive” and this is the overall mission of Chanya Lodge’s dedication to their clientele. On the outskirts of Moshi, Chanya lodge is perfectly located in the foothills of the impressive Mount Kilimanjaro. Here you’ll find 32 rooms, a plethora of gardens, a large swimming pool, and a restaurant and bar offering varied cuisine options.

PREMIER CAMPING

Our Kilimanjaro Treks feature premier camping with comfortable sleeping tents, kitchen tents, private portable bathroom tents, dedicated chefs, and a team of porters to carry and set up/break down camp each day. We provide all top-of-the-line gear. Our guests regularly rave about the camping accommodations on our Kilimanjaro adventures!

Trip of a Lifetime

This was my 5th trip with Wildland, and I continue to come back for the amazing memories they help create. The trip to Kilimanjaro was no different. As always, the people made the trip. We had the most incredible guides and support staff. They are truly superhuman. On the trail, during dinner, and just hanging out they make you smile. They encourage you up the mountain with songs, and there to help provide you the highest success rate possible. The tipping ceremony at the end is extra special as we all come together to share our final dinner and say goodbyes. This is a trip of a lifetime, and Wildland will make sure you always remember it.

Amazing Trip

A trip of a lifetime made even more outstanding by the care of Wildland. The team that guided us up the mountain anticipated our every need and gave us an amazing trip. I cannot wait for the next trip!

I can't wait for my next Wildland trip!

This trip was incredible! Seeing the diversity of vegetation and stark beauty of the summit crater were some of the highlights of my life thus far. Guides, porters, food, transportation and all accommodations were top notch. Highly recommend!

Kilimanjaro Tours

Hiking tours to the roof of africa.

If you’re planning to hike to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, you’ll want to do it the right way. Trek the stunning Northern Circuit Route, a beautiful, uncrowded trail on Kili’s remote western and northern flanks. We perfected this trek with seven days on the mountain for optimal acclimatization, full porter service, expert guides, and extra time to acclimate on a mini safari in Arusha National Park. Learn why we have the highest summit success rate—98%!

What Makes Our Kilimanjaro Climb Special?

• We’re the experts on Kilimanjaro with over 40 years of experience.
• Our stunning Northern Circuit Route is the best route on Kili, away from crowded trails, with no retracing of steps, and traversing the most magnificent glacier scenery
• Maximum acclimatization (the key to a successful climb) with a full 7 days on the ascent. We have a 98% summit success rate!
• On summit day, enjoy a spectacular and short 2-hour ascent, avoiding the grueling 9-hour ascent required on other routes
• The finest full-service camps on the mountain, with delicious and nutritious food and full porter support
• Our legendary Trip Leaders —the most experienced on the mountain and all certified Wilderness First Responders (WFR)

Everything You Need to Know

We consider the Northern Circuit Route the best route to the summit. Why? It is the most scenic and least-traveled route up Kilimanjaro. With a full seven days on the ascent, this route also provides maximum time for acclimatization and therefore the greatest chance of reaching to top—we have a 98% summit success rate!

We give a detailed summary all the different climbing options on Kilimanjaro, and explain the difference between each.

As with most mountain areas, the weather on Kilimanjaro can change abruptly so you need to be ready for these sudden changes. Kilimanjaro was described by NOVA as “a world in miniature” where you can “journey from dry fields and farms into steaming jungles, then up through exotic heaths and moorlands to an alpine desert and finally a glaciated summit.”

The snow line usually begins at 17,000′ or 18,000′, but a sudden storm may bring it as low as 14,000′. Daytime temperatures range from the 50s to the 70sºF at altitudes from 7,500′, where we start the climb, to about 12,000′. Above this altitude, daytime temperatures are lower, ranging from the high teens to low 40s, and evening temperatures can drop to 10ºF or even lower.

With any hiking adventure, it’s important to be adequately prepared both mentally and physically. If possible, start training several months before departure. Increasing your cardio routine will improve your stamina on the mountain. Activities like hiking, running, using a StairMaster, or bike-riding are great choices and, when combined, can really help boost your fitness levels. Increase your strength and endurance with weight and resistance workouts. Hiking with a 10-20 pound daypack is the most beneficial activity.

We have designed our 9-day climb route with successful acclimatization in mind. The summit of Kilimanjaro, at 19,341 feet, is considered extreme high altitude. As you climb the mountain, the air becomes less compressed and contains fewer molecules of oxygen per breath. At the summit of Kilimanjaro, there is 50% of the air pressure there is at sea level. You will greatly improve your safety and enjoyment of the climb if you:

• Make your best efforts to arrive physically fit and gear up with the appropriate clothing.
• Keep well hydrated throughout your time on the mountain (Drink. Drink. Drink! You need 4-5 liters of water per day to counteract the effects of altitude!).
• Maintain your energy by eating the good meals we will prepare for you.
• Hike at a pace slow enough such that you can maintain it for hours a time (you want to avoid “racing and resting”).
• Be aware of the symptoms of AMS (your Trip Leader will also review them with you).
• It is highly recommended that you request a prescription for Diamox (Acetazolamide) from your physician.

Wilderness Travel offers full-service camping on Kilimanjaro. Most trip members are pleasantly surprised by the comfort of our mountain camps considering we’re on a high altitude expedition! We use three-person tents for only two people, ensuring a fair amount of space for sleeping. We serve meals in a large solar-lit dining tent with table and chairs with back support. The dining tent is a nice place to relax and socialize while drinking tea or coffee in the evening. Our mountain staff is highly trained and will take care of all the logistics so you can relax and enjoy the climb.

You’ll be climbing the highest peak in Africa—the food that fuels you is an essential ingredient in your summit success. Meals should be high in calories with the proper balance of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to help sustain your increased level of exertion. We’ve designed our menus to include the right nutrition to keep you going on the climb, with three hearty meals a day, plus tasty trail snacks—the simple sugars in these are helpful in providing a boost of energy to keep you going. We provide a sample menu and further details below!

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a rigorous, but non-technical, hike that goes to high altitudes. All travel in the mountains involves inherent dangers, which can never be totally controlled. With that said, seeing to your safety is our primary concern. See below for the steps we take, the equipment we bring, and the rigorous training we put all our guides through to ensure your safety on the mountain.

Experience Kilimanjaro

Ethical Treatment of Porters

For a group of 10 climbers, we typically have a crew of 55 or more porters! We are one of the few companies to provide full medical coverage and workers’ compensation for all staff members, and strictly ensure no crew member has to carry more than 42 pounds on any day. Many of our standards regarding salaries, training, and overall welfare of porters have been adopted by the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP, which monitors standards for porter wages, load weight limits, medical care, and appropriate attire) as their example of ideal industry standards.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Wilderness Travel’s route up Kilimanjaro was far better and more interesting than the major highways used by most trekkers. We were the only group at many campsites and felt like we were the only people on that magnificent mountain.

Wow. I was blown away by the quality of the food and lodging during the Kilimanjaro expedition. This was due to the very hard work of the many experienced, talented, and excellent porters and staff members who accompanied us on the mountain. The head cooks, in particular, went above and beyond in crafting healthy, delicious menus that sustained us on our journey.

A trip of a lifetime that far exceeded my expectations. The route was truly spectacular, which we appreciated more on our descent and saw what other climbers experienced on their way to the summit. We could not have asked for better guides, who provided individual attention to each climber to give them what they needed and to ensure all were successful in reaching the summit. Unforgettable memories!

It was an indescribable, life-affirming experience that I will always cherish. In particular, I wanted to commend your selection of Trip Leaders. Their skill, thoughtfulness, and dedication made the entire trip seem effortless even though the challenge was great.

An outstanding itinerary, giving us time not only to acclimatize but also to enjoy the many wonders of the mountain, which go well beyond just the summit (spectacular as that is).

Perfect is the only way to describe my experience with your company. Our Trip Leader was a real gem, and the hotels, porters, tents, food—wow! Thanks for a great trip.

Kilimanjaro Tours & Treks

Africa’s tallest peak creates an instantly recognizable silhouette.

Rising from the acacia forests and scrublands at the border of Kenya and Tanzania . At 5,896m, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain can seem imposing, but that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach. Our Kilimanjaro tours are made to suit your experience and fitness levels, getting you to the summit with the best team possible. The climb will be challenging! But when you sit at the summit with the sprawling savanna far below, you realize the simple truth: it was all worth it. 

Our Kilimanjaro trips

Let's create an exclusive trip for your group.

Which route is right for you?

Despite being longer and more arduous than the Marangu and Rongai trails, the Machame route has emerged in recent years as a popular choice for trekkers. The 40 kilometre trail passes through cloud forests and moorland zones to the glaciated precipices of Kibo’s south face. Unlike the Marangu and Rongai routes, trekkers descend via the Mweka route – a steep but scenic path through dry mountain desert and lowland forest.

A trail that winds along the north-eastern side of the mountain near the Kenyan border, Rongai offers up a different side to Africa’s most famous mountain. The route attracts a lower number of climbers than Marangu and Machame, which means the wilderness feels particularly pristine. Fewer people mean there’s a greater chance of seeing wildlife on the Rongai trail than on the other routes. This route also approaches Mount Kilimanjaro through rural heartlands, allowing trekkers to see Chagga village life.

This five-day climb is the most popular and direct of the Kilimanjaro routes, passing through vast grasslands, giant cacti fields and alpine meadows set against dramatic mountain peaks. It’s also the only route where camping is not needed, with trekkers sleeping in huts dotted along the way. The 35 kilometre uphill walk is well maintained and the views from the summit are striking. As the Marangu route is shorter, the period to acclimatize is also shortened and this has an impact on the trail's overall success rate. 

Why choose us

Our Kilimanjaro trek leaders have been voted among the best Intrepid Group leaders in the world and we have a leading reputation within the travel industry.

All our guides and trek leaders have been trained by independent, UK-based medical specialists and are proficient in first aid. They also carry oxygen cylinders on all treks for emergency use.

Our staff live and work in the Mount Kilimanjaro area, which means revenue from all our treks benefit the local economy.

There’s no hidden costs or ‘catches’ in our prices. All tours include sleeping bags, sleeping mat, camping and safety equipment, emergency oxygen and porterage of 1 bag (up to 15kgs). We also include Kilimanjaro National Park entrance fees, climbing fees, camping and hut fees, and insurance for rescue services (just in case!)

Each of our treks begin with a briefing from our experienced English-speaking guide. On the road we operate on a 2:1 principle – that means we have one guide for every two climbers. Your crew will also be joined by dedicated cooks and porters.

We strive to use travel as a force for good. That’s why we choose to give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset all our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. We’ve been officially certified as the world’s largest travel B Corp, which means when you choose Intrepid Travel, you can rest assured you’re travelling to improve the planet.

Kilimanjaro travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Are there age restrictions for trekking Mount Kilimanjaro?

The regulations for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro specify a minimum age of 10 years, with no maximum age, however all Intrepid travellers are required to be over 15 years old.

While there is no maximum age for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, it is important to remember that the climb is strenuous and presents health risks, especially to people in high risk categories.

Serious consideration should be given to anyone under the age of 18 and over the age of 60.

Will the altitude affect me?

The summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is above 5,800m. At this altitude it’s common for travellers to experience some adverse health effects – regardless of your age, gender or fitness. It even happened to Sir Edmund Hillary!

Everyone will adapt to the altitude and thinning air differently. This is why we always try to keep the ascent slow and steady, to allow your body to acclimatize and make your journey to the summit easier.

Some pre-existing medical conditions are known to severely worsen at high altitude and be difficult to adequately treat on the ground, leading to more serious consequences. It is imperative that you discuss your pre-existing medical condition/s with your doctor.

What will I eat?

To reach the summit you’re going to need the right fuel, which is why our cooks will be providing delicious and nutritious meals throughout your trek.

Our porters carry all the equipment and supplies we need and you’ll be treated to some local dishes.

We can accommodate food allergies and dietary requests but please tell us when you book.

It’s also a good idea to bring your own extra comfort snacks from home to keep your energy levels up during more difficult sections of the trail.

What will I drink?

While on the trek, your guides will boil and cool 3 litres of water for you per day. This will ensure the water is safe to drink and you stay hydrated on the trek.

We recommend you pack 3 x 1 litre refillable water bottles. Please note disposable plastic containers are not allowed on the mountain.

Where will I sleep on Mount Kilimanjaro?

Your accommodation will vary depending on the route you choose.

On the Machame and Rongai route you’ll be camping out under the stars with a full-service camping experience.

You don’t need to bring anything except your enthusiasm. Our two-person tents are ideal for expedition trips and feature a flysheet made from ripstop nylon, anti-mosquito netting, reflective guy ropes and a 3000mm waterhead, ensuring you stay warm and dry even in difficult conditions.

If you choose to trek the Marangu route you’ll enjoy basic but comfortable accommodation in wooden A-frame huts with single beds and simple mattresses.

Due to limited accommodation on the mountain, you may need to share a hut with non-Intrepid passengers and/or members of the opposite sex.

These sleeping huts are not equipped with facilities however there are seperate bathroom huts containing shared toilets and washing facilities.

What if I’ve never trekked before?

Although no mountaineering experience is required, a good level of physical fitness is necessary. You’ll need to be comfortable walking 6-8 hours uphill a day.

The distances may not be long but the altitude makes it harder than your average uphill hike.

We recommend increasing your aerobic exercise in the months leading up to the climb, such as by walking, running or climbing stairs.

There is plenty of time available each day to get between huts or camping sites so there is no need to rush, in fact the slower you go the more time your body has to adapt and the more you’ll enjoy the experience.

What should I pack for Mount Kilimanjaro?

Although a guide will always accompany you on the trail, you are unlikely to see your porter (as they are very fast!) except at the huts or the camps. Therefore it is important you carefully pack a smaller day pack you carry yourself. Anything you need during the course of the day should be in your day pack including, most importantly, something warm and something waterproof. 

From 2019 your maximum gear allowance is 9 kg. At the welcome meeting you will be provided with a duffel/kit bag to transfer your hiking luggage into. This waterproof bag minimizes the weight your porter needs to carry and allows you to store excess luggage at the hotel.

Light clothing is generally sufficient until you reach the 3-4000 metre altitude range provided you always have something warm and waterproof in your daypack. Beyond these altitudes, even if the mornings are glorious, you must always be ready for dramatic changes in the weather, including snow storms. You must have clothing with you in your daypack adequate to the conditions. Please ensure your day pack is large enough to carry these clothes, your lunch box, 3 litres of water and any other items such as camera equipment. Warm clothing is important for the final ascent. The ascents are done at night and this is when the coldest temperatures are experienced. You must be prepared for temperatures of minus 25 degrees celsius. As a rule you should wear two pairs of socks, two-three layers on the legs and four-five layers on top. A balaclava or neck gaiter and woolly hat are necessary to keep the head warm, while gloves and sunglasses are also needed.

Note: the bag the porter carries for you should not exceed 9 kg. If bags are too heavy items may have to be removed or the climber may choose to hire an additional porter.

When is the best time to visit Mount Kilimanjaro?

Kilimanjaro's location near the equator is a great advantage, with very little seasonal variation in climbing conditions.

The rainy seasons from March to May and November to December may make the track a little slippery.

Generally speaking, January, February and September are considered the best times to climb the mountain.

What will the weather be like at Mount Kilimanjaro?

Part of what makes Kilimanjaro so unique is the diversity of ecosystems and micro-climates on its slopes. This same benefit is what makes predicting conditions a challenge.

You should trek expecting everything from tropical rainforests to sub-zero landscapes. The weather is prone to shift without warning and it is best to be prepared for all possibilities.

What are the toilet facilities like at Mount Kilimanjaro?

In a word? Improving. Until recently the toilet facilities left much to be desired but thankfully the park authorities have started to tackle the problem.

Some state-of-the-art eco-toilets have now been built at the major campsites.

There is the option to arrange a toilet tent for the entire trip. Please speak to your booking agent about the cost of this service.

What is the average success rate for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro?

The success of each climb is dependent on a number of varying factors, such as the weather on Mount Kilimanjaro and the age and fitness of each trekker. With that said we have achieved a success rate of 75% to Uhuru Peak across our three climbing routes.

Do your mountain guides carry first aid kits?

Yes. We carry multiple, comprehensive first aid kits and our mountain guides are fully trained on their use. All of our mountain guides are first-aid qualified.

Are your mountain guides trained to recognize symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)?

Absolutely! Intrepid have invested in the highest standards of training of any operator on Kilimanjaro. This includes advanced altitude training delivered by a UK doctor and altitude research specialist. One of the key elements of this is training on the Lake Louise altitude assessment system, which allows our mountain guides to effectively monitor clients constantly whilst on Kilimanjaro and assess if they are suffering from AMS and, if so, how severe that AMS is. We also train them on how to respond in the case of a moderate or severe case of altitude sickness – which will always mean organizing for the affected client to descend immediately. During your briefing on the first evening of your trip, your mountain guide will talk to you about symptoms of AMS and how to recognize them.

Do you carry medicines for altitude?

Yes – there are two key, potentially life-saving drugs that our teams carry on the mountain. These are Dexamethasone and Nifedipine and they used to treat cerebral and pulmonary oedema, which are the two potentially life-threatening complications of severe AMS. Our mountain guides are fully trained on the use of these drugs for altitude related illnesses.

Please note that we do not carry Diamox on our Kilimanjaro treks. The reason for this is that, although medical research suggests that Diamox can be very effective in aiding acclimatization to altitude, it has been proven to be far less effective at treating severe AMS. You may wish to talk to your doctor prior to travelling about being prescribed Diamox to assist acclimatization while you climb Kilimanjaro.

Will oxygen be available?

We carry medical oxygen – and when a group has four passengers or more, this will mean multiple cylinders will be distributed among the team of mountain guides to ensure that oxygen is always quickly available in the case of an emergency. The oxygen that we carry is strictly for emergency use only – and cannot be used by clients to assist in climbing or summiting.

Do you carry Gamow bags or PACs?

No. Gamow bags and PACs are two types of portable hyperbaric chambers, which are sometimes used for sufferers of severe AMS. What makes Kilimanjaro relatively unique is that it is a "rapid ascent mountain" – meaning altitude gain happens extremely quickly. Logically, therefore, Kilimanjaro is also a "rapid descent mountain" and our policy is that in the case of severe AMS, our mountain guides will immediately evacuate the patient down the mountain, usually with the assistance of porters to carry the person affected. Often, a descent of just a few hundred metres will be enough to make a difference. Gamow bags and PACs are more effective in other parts of the world where rapid descent on foot is not possible. Also, a gamow bag takes a little while to inflate – which on Kilimanjaro is valuable time lost when an evacuation down the mountain could already have commenced.

How do your mountain guides communicate on Kilimanjaro?

Mobile phone coverage on the mountain is improving – but it's still patchy in many areas. For this reason, Intrepid mountain guides carry short wave radios to allow for communication in the case of an emergency.

How do you ensure your porters are well looked after?

Unfortunately there is a problem in the trekking industry with some service providers taking advantage of porters, compromising staff safety in order to minimize costs. Our Tanzanian Destination Management Company (DMC) was established in 2014 with the purpose of ensuring Intrepid stood at the forefront of responsible tourism practices on Mount Kilimanjaro. We're proud to say that we're an official partner of the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC) and its Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP). This means all of our climbs have been assessed and scored based on a number of criteria designed to ensure the proper treatment of porters on the mountain. You can read more about KPAP's good work at the bottom of this page.

Who is your local operator in Tanzania?

All Intrepid Kilimanjaro climbs are operated by Intrepid Guerba Tanzania Limited, which is a fully owned Intrepid company based in northern Tanzania.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed - Day three digest

Everything you need to know from Moving Day in Sweden.

Sebastian Söderberg kept his foot firmly on the gas to build an enormous lead while another home star Johanna Gustavsson also put on a show on day three of the 2024 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed.

Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day in Sweden.

Söderberg storms further ahead

Söderberg came into his home event in sparkling form, having finished second, second and third, and made the cut at the US PGA Championship in his last four starts. And he has continued to shine in front of his adoring fans in Helsingborg this week, following up opening rounds of 63 and 66 with another 66 on Saturday to establish a commanding eight-shot lead ahead of the final round. Söderberg managed 49 bogey-free holes before dropping his first shot at the short 14th in round three, after his close-range par putt lipped out. But he recovered with a bounce-back birdie to get to 21 under par.

The lead is EIGHT for Sebastian Söderberg! It's the largest 54-hole lead since the 2021 Dutch Open on the DP World Tour. #VolvoScandinavianMixed pic.twitter.com/rLkAEa1hGh — DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) June 8, 2024

Amazing approaches

Let's take a second to enjoy some of Söderberg's phenomenal approach shots which helped make his 54-hole lead so handsome...

Playing partners

Couple Olivia Cowan and Todd Clements played their way into the same group for Sunday's final round after each shooting 71s on day three. Alongside a picture of their 08:45 tee time, Cowan wrote on her Instagram story: "See you on the tee tomorrow honey".

Gustavsson drains a monster

Home favourite Gustavsson, who was named Players' Player of the Year at the Ladies European Tour end-of-season awards in 2023, was faced with this 36-foot putt on the 13th green and she only went and holed it...

Tarrio makes big move

Early starter Santiago Tarrio surged up the leaderboard with a flawless Saturday 65 which featured seven birdies. The Spaniard was made to sweat for his closing gain on the last, though, as the ball did a full horseshoe before dropping into the hole. He sits in a tie for third at 12 under par heading into the final round, nine strokes behind runaway leader Söderberg.

It’s a love story at the Eras Tour!

Taylor Swift sweetly congratulated a couple after she witnessed them get engaged during her combined “Folklore” and “Evermore” set at her Eras Tour show in Edinburgh, Scotland, Friday night.

“I love performing this entire show in the sunlight ’cause I’m pretty sure I just, like, saw somebody get engaged over here,” the pop star told the crowd at Murrayfield Stadium in a clip shared on Threads .

Once fans confirmed the exciting news, the “Karma” hitmaker, 34, pumped both her arms in the air and screamed, “Yes!”

“Congratulations, wow!” she enthusiastically added. “I just saw that whole thing. Man, that’s amazing … Thanks for doing that at my concert; that’s a big moment!”

Friday night’s concert marked the first of three shows Swift has scheduled in Scotland .

She then tours the rest of the UK, hitting Liverpool, Cardiff, London and Dublin before venturing elsewhere in Europe.

The milestone moment for Swift’s Scottish fans comes as engagement rumors continue to swirl around the Grammy winner herself and her NFL star beau, Travis Kelce.

Earlier this year, a person close to the famous couple told Page Six that Swift and Kelce have “discussed” taking the next step in their relationship and that “there is a plan.”

“They will get engaged on their one-year anniversary in July,” the source further claimed.

Kelce, 34, then fueled engagement rumors in March while he and his brother, Jason Kelce, spoke about lab-grown diamonds on their “New Heights” podcast.

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who have been dating almost a year , went public with their romance in September 2023 when the “Lover” singer supported Travis at a game at Arrowhead Stadium.

She then offered a glimpse into their relationship during her Time Person of the Year profile in December 2023, explaining why they decided to confirm their romance.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift noted at the time.

A close friend of Travis’ recently said that he hopes wedding bells are in the couple’s near future .

Patrick Regan said on the “Your Day Off” podcast this past Monday of the superstars tying the knot, “Hopefully soon, that’ll be fun.”
