Mt Kilimanjaro Expedition
...as wide as the world, great, high, and unbelievable white in the sun, was the square top of Kilimanjaro. Ernest Hemmingway, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro"
MountainVision
is proud
to offer you multiple opportunities per year to Why MountainVision for your Kili trip... Kilimanjaro is MountainVision's sentinel trip. Over the past 7 years we have guided hundreds of adventurers to the summit of Africa, with everyone one of them praising the service and safety of each of our trips. Our attention to detail is what sets us apart from other outfitters. We spend much of our time and effort ensuring safety, hygiene, clean and new equipment and a rich cultural experience. A few of the details we commit to with every trip: -We lodge only in top tier hotels prior and post each of our climbs. -We hire only the strongest and most competent porters. -We use new, spacious Mountain Hardwear tents. -We hire a hotel trained chef to prepare all of our mountain meals. -Each of our African guides goes through extensive mountain medical training.
The draw of Kili... Crowned by eternal snows, the mighty Kilimanjaro (19,340ft) is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and dominates its landscape unlike any other mountain. It is the highest in Africa and therefore one of the '7 Summits', the largest mountain on each continent. Located in Tanzania, this extinct volcano looms over five Eco-systems and large game reserves and is certainly one of the world's most impressive sights. The terrain is nothing short of dramatic as this highly unique path affords climbers excellent exposure to the area's remote and pristine environment. The climb takes us through rapidly changing environments while unveiling stunning views of east Africa's mountains and plains. Our entrance into the African wild begins as we climb Kilimanjaro via one of the two less traveled routes on the mountain. Both of these routes have been designated as "low use hiking" zone and "camping only" zone. Climbing the Umbwe Route or the Machame Route is of great importance for those wishing to fully experience Africa's vast wilderness. While close to 75% of Kili climbers still attempt the 'Coca Cola route', we feel it is important to experience the lesser traveled trails up the mountain. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a strenuous undertaking. It has the potential to be the hardest, yet most fulfilling adventure of your lifetime. But remember the old African proverb... "Adversity is your best friend, because it introduces you to yourself."
When do you want to go... We offer two trips per year that are lead by one of our Western guides. These are generally our large groups of 15 or more. If a smaller group is more your style, we also offer year round trips lead by our head African guide, Nickson Moshi. See the schedule below or if you have a specific date in mind we are happy to coordinate a trip for you.
