Our story →
Former Royal Marines Commando and Atlantic rower. Jack plans every climb with military precision and is your first call from the day you book.
Jackson started on Kilimanjaro as a porter. Today he leads our team in Moshi, so the people running your climb know the mountain from every side.
Our crew on the Lemosho routeEvery porter paid fairly. Every load weighed.
No one reaches the summit alone. Our porters carry the camp, cook the food and cheer you to the top, so we look after them properly. As a KPAP partner, every Legend climb meets the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project's standards for fair treatment.
- Fair wages, paid in full and on time
- Loads weighed at the gate and kept within KPAP limits
- Proper kit, three meals a day and a tent to sleep in
- Independently monitored as a KPAP partner

Climber storyRated on Tripadvisor by climbers who've stood on the summit with us.
“There are some trips where the company you choose is almost incidental. Kilimanjaro isn't one of them. What I loved most was that you NEVER felt like just another client being moved through an itinerary.”
“I was more than a little nervous that my body, or more specifically, my arthritic right knee, wouldn't allow me to reach the summit. But looking back on the experience now that I've summitted, it really was a trip of a lifetime!”
“We had health checks every morning and evening, including oxygen and blood pressure checks. I have honestly never felt so well cared for on an adventure like this.”

Because the price covers what most operators leave out: stand-up tents and real beds, a daily hot shower and private flush toilet, a fresh food resupply mid-climb, WFR-trained guides with oxygen, specialist altitude doctors on call 24/7, and porters paid premium wages as a KPAP partner. It's one all-in price with no hidden extras, and it's a big part of why 98.9% of our climbers reach the summit.
Your safety always comes first. If you need to turn back, a guide comes down with you while the rest of the group carries on, and we look after you until everyone is reunited. Your guides check your health twice a day, so any decision is made early, with you, and never in a rush.
No. You don't need to be an athlete, but the fitter you are, the more you'll enjoy it. If you can walk for six to eight hours on back-to-back days, you're in good shape. Our free training plan builds you up week by week.
You deal directly with the people running your climb: Jack in the UK and Jackson's team in Moshi. There's no agent in the middle, nothing gets lost in translation, and you can speak to a founder before, during and after your trip.
Your guides, porters and cook, park and camping fees, all meals on the mountain, stand-up tents with real beds, a private shower and toilet, oxygen and 24/7 medical support. International flights, visas and travel insurance aren't included. See the full list on the booking page.
Kilimanjaro can be climbed all year, but the driest and most popular months are late June to October and January to early March. Our group departures run throughout the year, and we'll help you choose the right date when we talk.
Yes. Many of our climbers join a group on their own and leave with friends for life. Ask us about room options when we call.
