We understand that choosing an operator among hundreds of companies that offer Kilimanjaro climbs can be a difficult task. It is likewise difficult for an operator to gain visibility with so many competitors. However, The African Walking Company has done precisely that - built a solid reputation as a solid, safe, and dependable operator.

The African Walking Company is the premier outfitter for climbing Kilimanjaro, and is one of the few specialist companies organizing high quality trips on Kilimanjaro.

Trek to the summit with Thomson Safaris!

David Breashears, famed mountaineer, six-time Everest summiteer, filmmaker, and director of the epic IMAX film “Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa,” fully recommends Thomson Safaris as the best company to take trekkers up Kilimanjaro. He recognizes Thomson’s superior safety standards, unparalleled experience, and unwavering dedication to quality, sustainable travel, and ethical porter treatment. We look forward to showing you the ‘Thomson Difference’ in action.

SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

Hi! Glenn here!
I will be trekking the Machame route from Monday 3rd November 2008, to raise funds, and public awareness of the fantastic work carried out at the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice.

Starting from the drier north side of Kilimanjaro at the village of Naremoru near the Kenya border, Rongai is a less traveled route allows trekkers to distance themselves from the busier routes on the lower elevations, a complete traverse of the mountain, a great variety of vistas that most climbers never get to see, and the possibility of observing wildlife at a safe distance. The route passes through lush farmland and pine and cypress forests before ascending into the rainforest. In the higher moorland zone you have views of the Kenyan plains.

There are several dozen outfitters who provide climbing services in Tanzania. It can be challenging to determine which one to use. Here are some important things you should look for:

1. They care about your mountain experience (many outfitters are just looking to make money).
2. They have their own operation in Tanzania.
3. They use the best routes.
4. They provide sufficient time to acclimatize. The more time you spend on the mountain the greater your chances of reaching the summit.
5. They have high quality tents and equipment.
6. They provide experienced mountain guides.

For a night or two in Moshi Town we recommend the Bristol Cottages. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and reasonably priced rooms in private landscaped gardens in the heart of Moshi, the gateway city to Kilimanjaro.

We custom-tailor all safaris to your interests and objectives.

Summit Expeditions and Nomadic Experience (SENE) leads climbs of the highest quality and safety on Kilimanjaro. SENE was founded and run by Tanzanian Simon Mtuy, born and raised in the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Simon has been climbing the mountain since he was a teenager and holds two world records for the fastest round-trip climbs on Kilimanjaro. But he knows that speed is not what makes a good climb. A slow and steady pace, healthy and nutritious food, top quality equipment, conscientious guides, and committed porters produce an enjoyable and successful adventure.
