Kilimanjaro Tours

Hiking Tours to the Roof of Africa

If you’re planning to hike to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, you’ll want to do it the right way. Trek the stunning Northern Circuit Route, a beautiful, uncrowded trail on Kili’s remote western and northern flanks. We perfected this trek with seven days on the mountain for optimal acclimatization, full porter service, expert guides, and extra time to acclimate on a mini safari in Arusha National Park. Learn why we have the highest summit success rate—98%!

Ethical Treatment of Porters

For a group of 10 climbers, we typically have a crew of 55 or more porters! We are one of the few companies to provide full medical coverage and workers’ compensation for all staff members, and strictly ensure no crew member has to carry more than 42 pounds on any day. Many of our standards regarding salaries, training, and overall welfare of porters have been adopted by the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP, which monitors standards for porter wages, load weight limits, medical care, and appropriate attire) as their example of ideal industry standards.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Wilderness Travel’s route up Kilimanjaro was far better and more interesting than the major highways used by most trekkers. We were the only group at many campsites and felt like we were the only people on that magnificent mountain.
