Private Kilimanjaro is a specialist operator dedicated to helping you hike Kilimanjaro safely. Our unique selling point is that  we are operators not agents. We never sub-contract your safety and enjoyment to someone else. If you book with us, you climb Kilimanjaro with us

Private hikes are your own personal adventure. A bespoke itinerary with your choice of dates, route and options, your own dedicated team and as a result the highest success rate. Perfect for a group of friends or a charity group.  You can upgrade to a private hike from as little as £10 per person per day depending on the size of the group.

Open groups are great for those who want the company of others while they hike Kilimanjaro. Our group hikes start every Monday (June- October, December - March). They are limited to a maximum of 12 and are guaranteed to run with a minimum of 2 people. Particularly popular are our open full moon hikes which run every month. 

Charity challenges are our unique approach to charity groups with five great benefits.
