Fancy trekking up the world’s most beautiful mountain?
Fancy hiking through four seasons
in a week, from steamy forest to snowy summit?
Fancy welcoming in the new day from
the highest point in Africa?
Why not let the experts help you to fulfil your ambitions. At Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
(CMK), we can offer you the widest choice of treks:
All the routes...
Thanks to a special agreement with our favourite trekking operator, we can offer
treks on all the major official routes, as well as our famous, unique versions of
the Rongai Route and the Lemosho Route - alternative trails that have been specifically
designed to combine the best of everything the mountain has to offer: exotic wildlife,
fantastic scenery and a wonderful wilderness experience away from the crowds. They
are also routes that, we think, offer you the greatest chance of reaching the summit.
And what’s more, when possible your friends and family can now follow your progress
on the mountain too with maps, text messages, updates and photographs posted online.
All the dates...
With CMK, we have a wide range of prearranged treks that you can choose to join, allowing you to share your experience with other trekkers. Alternatively, you can arrange to have your own private trek - so you can choose both the dates you wish to climb and the route you wish to take up the mountain!
Why book your climb with Climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
We think our ground operators provide one of the best services both on and off the mountain - and by booking your climb through us you can enjoy several further advantages that are unique to CMK, including a cheaper rate for your trek – and a free copy of our bestselling guidebook to help you prepare for the trek.
In addition, all our treks offer:
- 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 Kilimanjaro. Amongst their number are several who have climbed over 400 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 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!
- With all of your crew from the local area, your trek directly benefits the local economy
- Portable toilets are provided on all treks to avoid degrading the mountain
- Oxygen cylinders and a full first-aid kit are carried on all treks for emergencies
- All of our guides and trek leaders on Kilimanjaro are first aid trained
- An exemplary ethical policy Our policy towards your mountain crew and the natural environment of Kilimanjaro is amongst the best on the mountain. 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.
- Our package also includes all park fees and transfers to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) - so our responsibility for you starts the moment you clear customs.
Safaris and Zanzibar trips arranged too!
Our service to you doesn’t stop when you come off the mountain. We can also sort out a safari for you around Tanzania’s famed Northern Circuit, including such legendary parks as Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and can also arrange your accommodation on the paradise island of Zanzibar - perfect for that post-trek chill-out! Or we can offer you an even more complete experience by arranging trips to Rwanda or Uganda to observe the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.

To find out more about the treks, see our list of Frequently Asked Questions which will hopefully answer any enquiries you may have about the climbs. We also have a page devoted to the Unique Rongai and Alternative Lemosho routes to give you an idea of what makes these routes so special. Then, when you’ve decided you want to go ahead and reserve a place or book a climb, just drop us an email and we’ll get right back to you - it’s as simple as that!
