Kilimanjaro's Number one guide

Kilimanjaro Treks

Home Kilimanjaro Treks

I know it’s daunting looking for a company to take you to Kilimanjaro, but I can help you. I have climbed Mount Everest and Kilimanjaro almost 50 times. Firstly, from all my Kilimanjaro experiences over 25 years of climbing the mountain, I can offer lots of advice, but most importantly pick 8 days on the Lemosho route using Kosovo Camp as High Camp. This itinerary offers you the best experience on the best route with better safety and success. We are getting 100% with this itinerary if people show up physically prepared.

Secondly, our head guide was voted Kilimanjaro’s number 1 guide in 2019 and our dream team has worked with us for over 15 years. Finally, if you want nicer hotels, private toilets, better food, bigger tents with more support, our Kilimanjaro treks are managed to the highest standard and second to none on Kilimanjaro.

Our office staff have a combined 60+ summits so you are getting expert advice from the moment you call or email us. We are available 5 days a week in support of your every need.

Setting the Standard on Kilimanjaro

We have helped over 26 staff, gain access to college to develop their skill sets. Some of our porters from 15 years ago are now leading our trips to the highest level. Through our non-profit Ian Taylor Trekking Foundation, we have helped staff develop businesses, gain access to funds and we support a local orphanage in Arusha. We also have a medical fund that our staff can get access to if needed.

All of our head guides have trekked to Everest Base Camp and some have climbed on Island Peak. Our head guide has dreams of climbing Mount Everest but while he is dreaming, he will be leading you up and down Kilimanjaro. He has climbed Kilimanjaro over 400 times and well on his way to 500 Kilimanjaro summits.

The Best Way to Climb Kilimanjaro

The Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro using Kosovo Camp as High Camp has given us a 95% SUCCESS RATE. We have designed our own itinerary to give you the best safety and success. Personally this is our favorite route with the best acclimatization and scenery on the mountain.

The trek through the rain forest is stunning and you feel like you are really out there off the beaten track, the trail is raw and beautiful.

You also get three days to yourself as you trek out of the rain forest and across the Shira Plateau towards the summit of Kilimanjaro. We know this route gives the best acclimatization for your attempt on Kilimanjaro so if you want to enjoy the experience and get to the top this has to be the route for you.
