Book your climb with us!
Working as an agent for our favourite operator in Tanzania, Team Kilimanjaro. we
are able to offer treks up Kilimanjaro using all the main routes:
- Machame Probably the most popular trail on the mountain - and not without reason!
- Marangu For those who don’t want to sleep under canvas, here’s the original Kilimanjaro
route - and a beautiful one it is too!
- Umbwe For those who think they’re tough enough, the steepest route on the mountain!
- Lemosho A personal favourite - quiet, beautiful, varied - and just lovely.
In addition, we also arrange treks on the Rongai Route - but with a twist...
The Unique Rongai Route
In order to try to increase the enjoyment of our trekkers on Kilimanjaro, our partners
are using a specially adapted version of the Rongai Route - which we call the Unique
Rongai Route. It is a route that we feel:
- Increases your chances of seeing wildlife
- Allows you to get away from the crowds and enjoy a more ‘wilderness’ experience’
- Improves your chances of making it to the summit
To find out more about this rather special route, click on this link to take you
to our Unique Rongai page.
Why book your climb with Climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
We think our ground operators Team Kilimanjaro provide one of the best services both
on and off the mountain, But by booking your climb through us you can enjoy several
further advantages that are unique to CMK:
• Thanks to our special arrangement with TK we are able to arrange a special
discounted
rate that undercuts their normal rate charged for direct bookings with them. In
other
words, we’re cheaper!
• Once you’ve booked your trek through us, you get a free copy of our bestselling
guidebook to help you prepare for the trek.
• Thanks to a special agreement with TK, on all treks booked through us your mountain
crew
- the guides, porters and cooks - will be paid a higher wage than if
you booked directly
with TK.
In addition, all our treks offer:
- Greater flexiblity when booking With Climb Mount Kilimanjaro, as long as there are
at least two of you, you can choose to climb on whatever day you want, and on whatever
route you want. Alternatively, you can choose to join one of our prearranged treks,
thus allowing you to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with other like-minded
climbers. You can study our schedule of treks - updated daily - by visiting our Trekking
Dates page.
- Top-class guides and crew The guides who will lead your trek are amongst the best
we’ve found from years of researching and climbing the mountain. Amongst their number
is one who has climbed over 300 times, one who has worked on the mountain for over
25 years - and one who was voted the Millennium Guide!
- Great equipment Our ground operators Team Kilimanjaro take care in ensuring that
all the equipment used on Kilimanjaro is both of a very high quality and maintained
to the very highest standards to ensure that it will survive the rigours of the mountain.
This includes the clothing that you can hire for just a few dollars a day - much
of which was made by outfitters in Nepal who are used to kitting out expeditions
on Everest!
- An exemplary ethical policy Our policy towards your mountain crew and the natural
environment of Kilimanjaro is amongst the best on the mountain. Indeed, with our
treks your mountain crew will be paid more than if you had booked a trek directly
with Team Kilimanjaro - even though we charge you less! Follow this link to see our
ethical policy.
We also like to think that our service away from Kilimanjaro is also first-rate...
- Unparalleled advice We think we know more about the mountain than anyone else - we
did, after all, write the book - and so we can help to find the right trek for you.
- By using only hotels that we recommend in the book, you know that everywhere you’ll
stay has been chosen because we genuinely like them – rather than because they offer
the best deals for the agents.
- We can also offer plenty of things to do when we’re not on the mountain, from shopping
to sightseeing, touring around town or visiting an orphanage.
- Our package also includes transfers to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport
- so our responsibility for you starts the moment you clear customs.
