I had the privilege of being part of an amazing group on our Mount Kilimanjaro expedition. This team truly embodied the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and determination needed to help us conquer Africa’s highest peak.
From the very beginning, the group’s enthusiasm was contagious. Everyone brought unique strengths to the table, whether it was carrying our packs, cooking delicious meals, or making sure we were all comfortable. The teamwork was evident in every step we took, especially during the more challenging days when altitude and fatigue tested our resolve.
Every morning we were greeted with coffee in our tents, a bowl of hot water to wash up, and a hot breakfast. We also had the luxury of a personal toilet. The porters packed everything up and carried our bags and had everything set up by the time we got to camp. They’re constantly refilling our water bottles and supplying hot water for tea and coffee. Every morning and evening we did a wellness check to make sure no one was experiencing altitude sickness. We had two guides who spoke perfect English to ensure we made it to the summit.
To my incredible climbing team: thank you for the laughs, the encouragement, and the shared sense of achievement. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to share this adventure with!

Step onto Kilimanjaro’s legendary 'Coca-Cola' route with the 5 Day Marangu Route Trek, designed for those seeking a classic and comfortable ascent. The Marangu route is famed for its gentle, gradual slopes and unique hut accommodations, offering a cozy retreat from the elements. As the mountain’s oldest and most established path, it’s considered the easiest way to the summit—making it a great choice for trekkers with limited time or those who prefer extra comfort, especially during rainy periods. While a five-day climb is possible, adding an acclimatization day is recommended for the best chance of reaching the top. This trek’s USP is its welcoming balance of accessibility and tradition, ideal for travelers wanting a quintessential Kilimanjaro tour package.
