What travelers say about Emmanuel
I had an absolutely amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro. Extremely knowledgeable and professional guides who could tell us all about the geography, geology and history of the country and Kilimanjaro region. Jeremiah was our team chef who cooked wonderful food throughout. With their expertise me and my friend managed to summit and more importantly come back down safely. If you want to climb Kilimanjaro this is the team for you.

I liked how there was someone to talk to who was in the UK and was able to advise on the trip. I had a fantastic experience and everything was taken care of from the moment I landed in Tanzania. The hotel was nice and the tour guide was amazing, as was the entire team during the whole experience. This was definitely one of the best experiences of my life and I will definitely be booking more trips with call to adventure! The Kilimanjaro trek was amazing, all I had to do was turn up with my kit, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the whole thing was, I usually have terrible experiences booking things but I can honestly say the whole thing was seamless, everything went to plan and I had no issues at all! Thank you for helping me to achieve a life goal!

Is the Kilimanjaro Challenge Right For You?
Discover if this adventure is right for you
Physical Challenge
Requires good cardiovascular fitness and mental determination. The 6-day itinerary allows proper acclimatization, making this the most accessible route to Kilimanjaro's summit.
Experience Required
No technical mountaineering skills needed, but previous hiking experience beneficial. This is the perfect introduction to high-altitude trekking.
Comfort Level
Mountain huts provide shelter and basic comfort compared to camping, though facilities remain simple and shared.
Worried About Altitude Sickness?
The fear of altitude sickness is the biggest concern for Kilimanjaro climbers, and rightfully so - it's the primary reason people don't reach the summit. That's exactly why we insist on the 6-day itinerary instead of the rushed 5-day option that many operators offer.

What our adventurers say
Amazing experience and incredible guide team...Overall the trip was perfectly planned by the guide. They handled all the logistics you could think of and want; airport pickup, hotel, transportation, permits, camp, food, water, etc. Highly recommend this company if you are considering hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro.
