What sets us apart

The details you feel on the mountain

Twenty years of refining every part of the climb — from the medical kit our team carries to the food they cook fresh at altitude.

Safety, taken seriously

We don't hope for the best. We pack for it.

Your safety is a system, not a promise. We check blood oxygen on every climber, every day — no guesswork, no shortcuts. The kit walks with the team, all the way up.

Hyperbaric chamber AED defibrillator Pulse oximeter Oxygen

Licensed & 100% in-house

Our crew is our crew.

We don't outsource your safety. Fully licensed with a TALA operating license and a proud member of TATO — no middlemen, no subcontractors.

No hidden fees

All in. No surprises.

Two nights at a premium hotel before the climb, one after. Round-trip airport transfers. Taxes and government fees. It's all in the package, so you focus on the climb — not the fine print.

Fresh food, every meal

Real food. At altitude. Never freeze-dried.

We resupply ingredients during the climb to keep meals fresh, each one tailored for energy, digestion and altitude. That's why our climbers fuel better, feel stronger, and summit more often.

Private showers & toilets

You climb hard. You don't have to suffer off the trail.

Private toilet and shower tents at every stop. Period. We were one of the first companies, back in the 2000s, to include these facilities as standard.

Daily updates home

We bring the mountain to their feed.

Daily photo and story updates on Facebook and Instagram, weather permitting. You're climbing; they're cheering you on from home.

Our favorite

9-Day Lemosho Western Breach

On the mountain9 days
In Tanzania12 days
Starts atLemosho Gate
Summits viaWestern Breach & the crater

The most scenic and most secluded route on the mountain, and the one we climb ourselves. Sunrise on the way up, then straight in through the Western Breach and into the crater — close enough to the glaciers to put your hand on the ice. We summit in the middle of the day, with no other companies at the top. It also has the best acclimatization of anything we run: two nights at Lava Tower. This is our favorite route.

Our second option

9-Day Lemosho Northern Circuit

On the mountain9 days
In Tanzania12 days
Starts atLemosho Gate
Summits viaGilman’s Point

The Lemosho Northern Circuit route on Kilimanjaro offers a scenic and extended trek, ideal for those seeking a comprehensive and less crowded experience. Beginning in the lush Lemosho Glades, this route traverses diverse ecosystems and provides ample acclimatization time, enhancing summit success rates. As it winds around the northern side of the mountain, climbers enjoy breathtaking views of the Kenyan plains.

The classic line

9-Day Lemosho Barafu

On the mountain9 days
In Tanzania12 days
Starts atLemosho Gate
Summits viaStella Point

The classic Lemosho line, and the most popular Lemosho variation there is — the third most popular route on the whole mountain. That is the catch: expect traffic, with people ahead of you and behind you for much of the climb. It is still a great route, and our climb-high-sleep-low profile builds real acclimatization on the way to Stella Point and Uhuru Peak. We simply rate the other two higher, which is why this is our third option.

Shortest we run

7-Day Machame

On the mountain7 days
In Tanzania10 days
Starts atMachame Gate
Summits viaStella Point

Beginning from the southern side of Kilimanjaro, the Machame Route is famous for its spellbinding panoramic views — and it is the second most popular route on the mountain. Partway up it converges with the Lemosho Barafu line and the two share the same trail to Stella Point, which is why you will meet so much traffic. The views still make it a crowd-pleaser, and at seven days it is the shortest climb we run.

Record-setting climbs

We host the highest marathons on Earth

Our All-Inclusive benefits

Five things, already handled

Every climber gets the same guides, tents, food and hotel. The All-Inclusive package adds five things — the gear you'd otherwise pack, rent or carry yourself, provided for the whole climb.

Personal Daypack Porter

A porter whose only job is your daypack. Take it from day one, or hand it over when the air gets thin.

Sleeping Bag

Marmot Trestles Elite 0, rated to −18 °C. Sanitized after every expedition.

Trekking Poles

A set for the expedition — worth having on the way up, worth more on the way down.

Duffel Bag

Handed to you at the gear check to pack your kit. Our team carries it from camp to camp.

Safety Helmet

Worn on summit morning.

Western Breach only

These are provided for your climb, not purchases — the gear is ours and stays with the expedition. Choose Standard and you're welcome to bring your own.
