Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Tours in October 2025

It took us six days to trek up Kilimanjaro and back to Moshi where we started. The whole experience was tough but getting to the summit made it worth the struggle. We had an outstanding team of porters, guides and cook, who played an important role in getting us to the summit safely. Thank you for sparing no effort to give us a memorable experience.

I was part of a group of 6 teamed up with a further 10 individuals. We bonded well from the beginning and throughout this amazing adventure and from this experience I would have no hesitation in travelling alone. The Exodus team were superb from start to finish and The African Walking Company who were locally based were the guys on the ground and their knowledge of Kilimanjaro was superb and with 50+ porters/guides our group of 16 were well catered for and out 'leader 'JT' was excellent. This was a challenging trek, particularly the final two days and should not be taken lightly. One gripe is it needs to be made clearer on summit night how best to keep water from freezing, as many of us were very de-hydrated on the way down having summited in atrocious conditions. But I would highly recommend the experience and Exodus and we have made friends for life.

Second time of climbing Kilimanjaro and it didn't disappoint. Glorious starscapes at night, changing scenery from jungle to lunar landscapes and then the snow encrusted peak. This is a challenging hike on summit day but within most people's abilities if you are reasonably fit. Due to airline problems my luggage didn't arrive, but luckily I had ultra essentials and warm kit in my daysack. Day before the summit a porter brought my luggage up to the camp so had an incredible surprise. You may think you will lose weight on this trek, but the food is incredible and plentiful - but you will still eat lots of snacks on your trek too. You will use the energy

The guide-to-guest ratio was excellent and we were well-fed and taken care of. Others in the group had altitude sickness symptoms and the staff were great at recognizing and managing these situations.

The trip is one of the most amaaaazing and challenging things I have done so far!  It's hard physically (due to altitude) AND mentally,  but totally worth it!!  Remember that the pain is only temporary, the glory lasts forever..  This route also gives you chance to get used to the altitude so you will get to the top... 

A holiday with a difference. The memories of this mental and physical challenge will stay with me for a very long time. Great fellow climbers and fantastic guides, assistant guides, porters and (the very important) chef.
