Kilimanjaro - The Rongai Route, including an ascent of Mount Meru

Porters & Local Guides all receive a licence to work on Kilimanjaro from the National Park. Without this they are unable to operate as guides. The licence is obtained after several years of experience of working on the mountain as porters or cooks then as assistant guides after which they attend courses in First Aid, Mountain Rescue, Flora and Fauna and History.

From the guides that have acquired their guide qualification we select those that have an excellent record of working on the mountain. Their professionalism is hard to rival anywhere in the world and one of their prime objectives will be to help you achieve your dream and gain the summit of Kilimanjaro, safely.

We work to the UIAA codes of conduct in employing local staff and ensure that they are properly equipped and paid market wages.
