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.
- Rongai For the chance to see the mountain from north to south...
In addition, we also arrange treks on two routes that take you away from the crowds...
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.
The Alternative Lemosho Route
Here, our favourite route on the mountain has been taken - and improved upon! A rather
wonderful adaptation to an already delightful trail, this route once again offers
several distinct advantages over the standard Lemosho Route:
- By taking you around the seldom-seen northern side of Kibo on a little-used path,
this trail takes you away from the crowds that those on the regular Lemosho encounter
after the third day.
- This northern path also takes you above Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, from where
buffaloes, elephants, kudu and other wildlife occasionally drift up the slopes in
search of water.
- Even the final ascent to the summit is taken on a little-used path, only joining
with those on the Marangu Route for the last couple of hours up to Gillman’s Point.
To find out more about this incredibly beautiful and unusual route, click on this
link to take you to our Alternative Lemosho 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
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 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.
