Our approach

Private Kilimanjaro strives to provide the safest most enjoyable Kilimanjaro experience possible.

Safety

Safety climbing Kilimanjaro is our number one priority. Our guides draw from their wealth of mountain knowledge, experience and training to make sound decisions that improve your chance of reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro while maintaining the necessary margin of safety.

Goals

Private Kilimanjaro's goals are to:
  • assist our clients in attaining the summit
  • encourage respect and understanding of the unique environment on Kilimanjaro
  • offer the most enjoyable and rewarding Kilimanjaro experience possible.

Summiting

One of our principle goals is to see our clients reach the summit. Climbing requires a significant amount of time, money and energy on an attempt, and the greatest chance of safely reaching the summit lie with the high quality and caring guides who are the core of our company. We understand that our clientele often define success with the attainment of a summit, and we enthusiastically strive to see them attain that goal. Whether we reach the summit or not, we also strive to allow our clients to feel that the attempt is a worthwhile and meaningful experience on the mountain.

Our Environment

We are privileged to run a business that operates within a fragile environment. With this opportunity comes the responsibility of being a good steward of the resource.

Our Leave No Trace (LNT) outdoor ethic is held in the very highest regard. We guide and climb with the idea that protecting, conserving, and preserving the resources are critical. We will take all reasonable and adequate precautions to minimize damage to all natural and cultural resources.

Education

Our guides pass on knowledge that has been gained through many years of guiding on Kilimanjaro covering everything there is to know about the mountain, its flora and fauna and its history.

Climbing Kilimanjaro enjoyably

Climbing Kilimanjaro can be both intensely challenging and deeply satisfying. Many of our clients find their mountaineering experience with us opens the door to a life of adventure. The ability to set high yet tangible goals, rare chances to visit and experience unforgettable new places, a growing respect for the fragile beauty of mountain environments, and the opportunity to forge friendships all help to make your experience with Private Kilimanjaro an enjoyable adventure.
