MOUNTAIN TREKKING

Mount Kilimanjaro Treks


 

We outfit climbs for all routes on Kilimanjaro though we prefer the more scenic and less tourist routes such as Lemosho Glades (also known as the Shira route), and the Umbwe route.

For those with time to acclimatize properly, we ascend via the Western Breach Route. This trek is a truly first-class mountaineering experience!

Scheduled and tailor-made treks are available. Prices vary by group size.

 

On routes other than Marangu (which has mountain huts), we provide modern mountaineering tents with ground sheets & cold-weather sleeping mats. Large mess tents with floors hold aluminum tables and chairs with backs arm-rests. We also provide sanitary portable flush toilets inside enclosed tents.
We have an extensive choice of rental gear, including special mountain sleeping bags, warm outer layers, and everything you'll need for a safe and comfortable ascent to the top of Africa.
Last but not least, our professionally trained cooks serve up the best cuisine on Kilimanjaro, using the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

Our mountain guides are experienced Tanzanians fluent in English. They are also knowledgeable on the flora and fauna of the mountain as well as on Kilimanjaro's geology.
We carry all the requisite safety gear for emergencies, such as oxygen, hyperbaric chambers, stretcher & litter, as well as a WFR First-Aid kit (for our climbers and our porters). Moreover, our guides are trained to be proactive about altitude illness, and prevention of injuries. Should climbers require a French speaking mountain guide, we can provide a tour leader fluent in French. We are known for providing not only excellent services on our treks, but also for ensuring that we leave no traces behind.

OLDONYO LENGAI MOUNTAIN
The landscape of Ngorongoro Conservation Area has been shaped by Volcanic activity caused by the formation of the Gregory Rift and the Eyasi Rift, the main geological features of the Region. During a process which ran its cause over a period of four Million years, seven volcanoes were created by the lava flows. Some of them Oldonyo Lengai the Masai Mountain of God, just outside borders of Ngorongoro Conservation Area is still active. Energetic visitors can climber the steep slopes to gain a spectacular view at the top. At times this Crater is deep but in recent years the Ash has bubbled over the lower rim leaving trail of shimmering white which can be see from the surrounding areas. Over many millennia the Ash of many eruptions has been deposited by the prevailing easterly winds to from the fertile plains of Serengeti.
