We have an experienced and professional team that can bring you to the top safely.That is why 95% of our guests reach the top of Africa’s highest mountain. There are many things you can do to increase your chances to reach the summit and to make sure you enjoy the trek. One of the things is buying good gear and practice hikes in your home country a few months before your departure. Since altitude sickness is the main reason people fail to reach the top, it’s important to take your time. Give your body time to acclimatize. Check out below which climbing route fits you best.
Porters make it possible for you to climb Kilimanjaro. They carry all your food, gear and supplies and are an essential part of your mountain experience. Without their commitment and hard work, you are not able to climb and enjoy the magnificence of Kilimanjaro. Unfortunately local porters are often exploited and have poor working conditions. That is why we support our porters, this helps improving the working conditions of the porters on Kilimanjaro. If you book a climbing Kilimanjaro trip with us, you automatically contribute to a fair treatment of Kilimanjaro porters.
The most popular route is the Lemosho route, due to the breathtaking scenery and views. If you are fit and well prepared, you can also climb the Marangu-, Machame-, and Northern Circuit Route.

Which hotel? The Weru Weru River Lodge is the favourite accommodation of our guest, because of the good friendly service, delicious food, beautiful area with pool next to a coffee plantation.
