Sustainable Ethical Trekking and Safaris with a Local Organisation
Tanzanian Guides Supporting Tanzanian Porters
Challenge Mt Kilimanjaro
We strive to ensure we protect and respect the environment, whilst ensuring we educate and enjoy the challenges mountain trekking presents for our team & clients.
Our porters come from a variety of backgrounds, orphans to parents having to support large families.
Our goal is to educate, promote and reward them with fair work place practices.

There are seven official trekking routes by which to ascend and descend Mount Kilimanjaro: Lemosho, Machame, Marangu, Mweka, Rongai, Shira (we do not use), and Umbwe. Deciding on the best route to take depends a lot on how much preparation, level of fitness and time available for your expedition. Acclimatisation is critical, Please see below for guidance. For those that wish to prepare for Kilimanjaro, MT Meru is a great option.
Our team is made up of local Tanzanians based in Arusha and Moshi with
support from our volunteer New Zealand design team.
