About Us
We are an authorized agent for the:
- #1 outfitter leading climbs on Kilimanjaro
- Over 7,000 clients last year alone
- Leading climbs since 1990
- Recommended by Kilimanjaro National Park officials
- Recommended by Cameron Burns, author of "Kilimanjaro & Mount Kenya"
We work directly with Zara Tanzania Adventures (Zara), the largest outfitter offering climbs up Mt. Kilimanjaro. You may have heard of Zara before or think that you've seen their web site. Actually, many of those web sites are by other authorized agents just like us.
Zara have been leading climbs since 1990. In 2006, they safely led over 7,000 climbers up and down the mountain. They are a licensed IATA agency with more than 40 mountain guides and more than 100 porters working for them. All of their safari drivers and mountain guides are certified by the National Parks and have been trained in their respective careers. The safari vehicles include 4x4 Toyota Land Rovers, Land Cruisers and Minibuses with viewing roofs.

Giving back to the community
At Kilimanjaro Adventures, we believe strongly in giving back to the communities we operate in. All our guides are from Tanzania and have been locally trained and certified by the National Park Service. This ensures the money you spend goes back into growing the local communities to create more jobs and opportunities. We also sponsor a used gear donation program. Mountain and camping equipment is not readily available in Tanzania and many of the porters and guides do not have the proper equipment. When you donate your used gear, it will be given to the local guides and porters to use while they are on the mountain. We believe in giving a hand to those who need it, but not a hand out.
Protecting the Environment
We believe in protecting and preserving the unspoiled beauty of Tanzania. Tourism can be done responsibly, stimulating the economy and improving the lifestyles of the Tanzanians, while conserving the natural resources. It will take all of our efforts to ensure that the very thing that attracts tourists - the raw beauty of Kilimanjaro and the glorious wildlife - can be enjoyed for many years to come.
