Kilimanjaro Climb
Climbing Kilimanjaro is more than just a mountain challenge. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most climbers, leaving you with lasting memories. Other climbers enjoy it so much that they climb more than once. Ensure you choose a good tour agent for this adventure to get the best of Kilimanjaro.
When you climb Mt. Kilimanjaro on everyday safaris, you will gain insight into the lives and culture of the local community while being surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in Africa. We provide private climbs, solo climbs, and group climbs.
Private climbs: These climbs are designed to meet the client’s needs, allowing them to choose the departure date and duration. Each climb is tailored based on the client’s interests. This option is ideal for families, friends, schools, institutions, or other groups of climbers. When there are multiple participants, the cost decreases significantly, so bringing a friend or family member to climb with you is always a good idea.
Solo climbs: This is when a climber decides to undertake the Kilimanjaro adventure solo. It occurs when the client either doesn’t have someone to accompany them or desires some time alone. One other advantage of this climb is you will have the entire crew for yourself, and you will go according to your pace. No need to feel like you are delaying anyone. This option is a bit more expensive than other climbs, as the climber will bear all the costs themselves. We will do our best to keep the cost manageable.
Group climbs– These climbs have a specific departure date, and one can join the group if they want to enjoy the climb with other climbers or save on costs by choosing a preselected date.
Routes
There are many routes to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, each varying in scenery, steepness, difficulty, summit success rate, ascending and descending trails, panoramic views, flora and fauna, accommodations, starting points, and acclimatization. We recommend a minimum of 5 days for the Marangu route, while other routes should be planned for 6, 7, 8, or even 9 days. For each route, we highly advise adding extra days for acclimatization on the mountain, as it significantly increases the chances of reaching the summit.
