Why climbers choose us again and again
We’re proud of the reviews we receive. People often mention how friendly and professional our guides are, how good the food is, and how well looked after they felt. Many say it was the best trip of their life. After your climb, we’d really appreciate it if you leave a review too — it helps other people decide, and it means a lot to our whole team.
We are not a big booking company that passes you on to someone else. We are the people who actually run your climb. Our guides grew up on these slopes. They know every path, every weather change, and exactly how to keep you safe and comfortable. Because of this personal approach, we have a summit success rate of 98.8% — much higher than the average for the mountain. Here’s how we do it:
- We always go pole pole (slowly, slowly). Rushing is the main reason people get sick or turn back. Our routes include extra days for your body to adjust.
- We check your health every single day with pulse oximeters and watch how you’re feeling.
- We carry emergency oxygen on every climb.
- Our cooks prepare proper hot meals every day — not just basic food. Good food and rest make a huge difference at altitude.
- We strongly recommend 8 or 9 days on the mountain instead of rushing through in 6 or 7 days.
How easy it is to book with us
Just send us a message or fill in the contact form. Tell us:
- When you want to climb
- How many days do you prefer
- Whether you’re coming alone, with a partner, or with friends
- Any health notes or special diet needs
We’ll reply quickly, suggest the best route and dates for you, and send you a clear quote with everything included. Once you’re happy, we hold your spot with a deposit and send you all the information you need. It’s straightforward and personal — you’ll even speak with Charles, the owner, during the process.
What your climb actually looks like
- The day you arrive
We pick you up from Kilimanjaro Airport and take you to a comfortable hotel in Moshi. You rest, unpack, and we do a relaxed gear check and briefing in the afternoon or evening. - During the trek
Every morning we start walking after breakfast. Your guide sets a steady pace. We stop for lunch, then continue to the next camp. In the evening, we have a hot dinner, and you can rest. Our team checks on you every day. - Summit night
We wake you around midnight. You put on warm layers, and we start the final push to the top. Most people reach the summit around sunrise. We take photos, celebrate, then head back down to camp for a proper rest. - After the mountain
We bring you back to the hotel in Moshi. You shower, eat a good meal, and relax. The next day, we can take you to the airport or help you start the next part of your trip.
Small group hikes – perfect if you’re travelling alone
Many people climb with us on their own. We run regular small group departures (usually 4–8 people) so you can join others if you like. You still get the same personal care from our guides and team.
Other East African mountains we can help with
If you want to climb more while you’re here, we can also arrange:
- Mount Meru (great warm-up climb before Kilimanjaro)
- Mount Kenya
- Ol Doinyo Lengai (the “Mountain of God”)
- Rwenzori Mountains (for more experienced hikers)
Just let us know and we’ll build it into your trip.
Honest prices – no hidden costs
All our packages include airport transfers, a hotel before and after the climb, all park fees, tents, meals on the mountain, guides, porters, cooks, safety equipment, and a full briefing. Current starting prices:
- 6-day Marangu Route — from $1,695
- 7-day Machame Route — from $1,985
- 8-day Lemosho Route — from $2,350 (our most popular)

Best time to climb Kilimanjaro
- January – March: Dry, clear, and quieter
- June – October: Main season, very reliable weather (book early)
- December: Good shoulder months, especially late December for full moon climbs.
We also run special full moon climbs throughout the year — many people say the moonlight on summit night makes it even more magical.
What to bring for your trek
We send you a simple, clear packing list when you book. The most important things are:
- Good broken-in hiking boots
- Warm layers (especially for the summit)
- A warm sleeping bag
- Trekking poles
- Headlamp
We check your gear with you before we leave for the mountain so nothing important is missing.
Combine your climb with a safari or Zanzibar
Lots of our clients add a safari after the mountain. We can arrange everything — Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, or Tarangire — with no extra stress. Many people also finish their trip with a few days relaxing on Zanzibar’s beaches.
