“Our group of 5 went on the Northern Circuit Hike with this local tour operator over Christmas 2021, from 30th December to 7th January. By spending 9 days on the mountain, we had 7 full days hiking pole-pole, which means slowly and steady in Swahili, before we did the night hike all the way to the top. The longest you spend on the mountain, the highest chance of acclimatisation you have and less risk of having altitude sickness. The hike was great,. The summit of Kilimanjaro, from Gilman's Point to Stella Point to Uhuru Peak is absolutely incredible. I actually would recommend to get to Gilman's Point for sunrise so that you walk in the morning light from there to Uhuru Peak to really appreciate the incredibly magical snowy surroundings you can see at the top. Do not give up, stay pole pole, and keep walking, one step at a time. It is worth it. To train, there is no secret, the best training is hiking a lot, and also going up and down stairs, build your legs to become strong, go running to develop your cardio and do some swimming and cycling to develop all muscles. And you will be fine. And if you don't make it? Well, it doesn't matter. The journey is as important as the destination! Just going on that hike will have been worth it.”
Successful summit! Made possible by an amazing team

“Although not technically hard, Kilimanjaro is by no means an easy hike. Even without headaches and nausea, the decrease in appetite and increasing difficulty to fall asleep at high altitudes wears one out. For me there was an extra layer of hardship as I unexpectedly caught a cold prior to the hike, which got nasty as the trip went on. There was no way I could’ve summited without the amazing crew who supported me at every step. Dixon was our guide. He had 20+ years on Kili with 200+ summits under his belt, and that experience showed — I felt reassured as long as Dixon was in sight. Chengo, our assistant guide, was like a big brother, who always cheered us on along the hike. James, our porter+waiter, was the best service worker I have ever known. He was attentive to the smallest detail and genuinely cared about our well-being. The strong ginger tea that he got me every morning and evening greatly alleviated my cold. I cannot thank him enough. Not going to name everyone here, but the team was a true dream team. If there is one thing I wish I brought to the hike, that would probably be energy gels, especially for the summit night. Due to the lack of appetite I simply couldn’t get enough calories. Gaiters / masks would also be nice adds for dust protection. If you do decide to come, please make sure to Google / ask Noel for the tipping guide ahead of time. The price of the hike isn’t cheap, but after park fees (almost $1K/trekker for 7-day lemosho route), not much is going to the crew. So your tip will be a substantial amount of income for the porters and they depend on it. If I were to name a potential improvement, I hope there will be more health/safety checks. I don’t know what the procedure should be like, but the little device that checks heart rate and blood oxygen level (which didn’t always work) seemed a bit insufficient. After learning from the crew that people who failed to summit usually tipped poorly, I couldn’t help but think that the team might also be incorrectly incentivized. Safety should always come first. Overall I’m really happy that I picked the the 7-day Lemosho route which was breathtakingly scenic and offered a great acclimatization profile. The private tour also offered us much greater flexibility to tweak the schedule to best suit our needs. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend Dixon’s team!”
Unforgettable experience on the Kilimanjaro

“We had an unforgettable experience doing the Machame Route up to the peak of Kilimangjaro with this local travel specialist. We were accompanied by an amazing team, including our supportive and professional guides, Benedict and Brighton, who took good care of us and helped us to reach the summit. Without the super tasty food cooked by Adam we wouldn't have had the strength to accomplish the mission. The real heroes of the trip are the porters who ran ahead, set the tents, carried our luggage and provided water and food. Asante Sana!”
