"I have traveled throughout the world for decades but our MountainVision trek was far and beyond all expectations. The grandeur of the mountains, the joy of community service, the excellent food, and wonderful service were all world class. Most of all, Jeff is remarkably gifted at building superb teams of adventurous people who truly enjoy each other. In sum, it was an experience of a lifetime."

About Us

Jeff Evans, founder of MountainVision Inc, grew up scampering around the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina but soon found that the higher mountains of Colorado would be the ideal setting to challenge himself as a mountain guide. At the age of 19, Jeff packed up his truck and relocated to the Front Range of Colorado where he started his love affair with the Rocky Mountains.

Jeff spent years playing and working in the mountains cultivating the skills necessary to guide successfully at a high level. He spent 5 summers in Alaska working as a guide on Mt McKinley as well as a Search and Rescue Ranger for the National Park Service. This was a critical period in Jeff’s development as a guide in challenging situations at extreme altitudes.

Early on, Jeff accepted the role as the primary guide for blind athlete/climber Erik Weihenmayer. Together, they problem solved methods of travel and communication to tackle the hardest climbing and mountaineering projects any disabled athlete had ever attempted. Some of their more notable ascents include Mt McKinley, El Capitan, Leaning Tower, Aconcagua, culminating with a successful summit of Mt Everest in 2001 that gained much international attention as the first successful blind summit of the highest mountain in the world.

Somewhere squeezed between his years of mountain guiding, Jeff found time to finish his training as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant. He has focused his medical training even more with an emphasis on travel and altitude medicine, stressing safety and health on every one of his MountainVision trips.

Jeff has established MountainVision Expeditions to enable adventurous persons to challenge themselves on some of the most well known and exotic treks and expeditions available today. His goal on every trip is to inspire his new friends to accept the challenges of the natural world, discover the wonder of new cultures and find new levels of personal growth.

Our Guides

Nickson Moshi has been guiding in Africa since he was 15 years old.  He now has a very successful business and is a leader of his tribe of 3,000 people. Being the owner and founder of Masai giraffe, Nickson offers his individual expertise as a game tracker, and as a dedicated, conscientious guide.  His extensive knowledge about the wildlife, geography, plant life, the history, people, and culture of Tanzania adds an invaluable perspective to your adventure. 

Nickson’s appreciation for the environment, animal life, and natural wonders of his home country comes across in the manner in which he conducts his safaris, hikes, and activities.  Being born and raised in Tanzania, he does not offer activities other than those about which he is personally knowledgeable.  The guides and porters he professionally chooses to accompany his clients on those activities are, in Nickson’s estimation, some of the most qualified and responsible available.  The guides are fluent in English while some speak Italian, German, and other European languages.  Having nine years of personal guiding experience as a basis for the competence Nickson assures your comfort, your contentment, and your overall pleasure with the expeditions he heads up.

Nickson serves as the head Kilimanjaro guide for MountainVision and has guided over 100 of our clients to the summit safely. He is committed to safety and health above all when guiding MountainVision clients throughout Africa.
