| Kilimanjaro Tour Operators |
| We strongly advise you to book your trip with one of these experienced Kilimanjaro Tour Operators. Mount Kilimanjaro, even though it is accessible to everybody, must be treated with respect. Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest free-standing mountain and climbing it requires careful organisation. Some so-called Kilimanjaro Tour Operators lack the knowledge and experience to guarantee your safety. Most Kilimanjaro treks are trouble-free - but, trust me, things do NOT always go according to plan! Coping with sickness or injury halfway up a mountain in the middle of Africa is not a job for amateurs! The Kilimanjaro Tour Operators listed here have many years experience on the mountain - they know what to do if things go wrong. The Kilimanjaro Tour Operators listed below are highly recommended. They are not listed in any particular order. Each of them is a winner in its own right. Click on the links to visit the websites of these excellent Kilimanjaro Tour Operators. |

Team Leaders, Mountain Guides and Porters
Our team leaders and mountain guides are genuine Kilimanjaro experts with many years
experience on the mountain.
Our porters are mostly from the local Chagga tribe, known for their independent spirit and
strength of purpose. On a trek a strong and respectful camaraderie often builds between
the group and the support team.
As a supporter of the International Porters Protection Group, Explore safeguards the
welfare of porters and is instrumental in setting standards of best practice on the mountain.

| Discover Africa, discover yourself, discover something new! Explore! Explore are passionate about adventure travel, about seeing the world, how it really is and about being responsible in all that we do. We offer three challenging and rewarding routes on Kilimanjaro as part of our many and varied Tanzanian itineraries. |
Marangu Route
Our exhilarating Marangu Trek includes the services of a leader and local mountain guide,
porters to carry gear, and a cook. Accommodation is in mountain huts.
Machame Route
A steeper, more demanding ascent, providing stunning views of the south west glaciers
and western breach. Due to the remoteness of this route, we need to camp, but porters
carry all of the camping equipment.
Rongai Route
The only route starting on the northern side of the mountain. Rongai is the least trodden
and easiest of the camping treks, with short daily stages and a less severe gradient.
