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
This is a good physical challenge. You'll be hiking for 6-8 hours on most days, with a summit night that can be up to 12-14 hours. You need good endurance, but it's more of a marathon than a sprint.
Experience Required
No technical skills are needed. It's a trek, not a climb. However, previous multi-day hiking experience is a huge advantage. The biggest challenge is mental toughness, especially on summit night.
Comfort Level
You'll be camping for 6 nights on the mountain in shared tents. Facilities are basic, but our crew provides fantastic food and sets up a private toilet tent. It's about embracing the adventure, not luxury.
Worried About Altitude Sickness?
It's the number one concern for almost every Kilimanjaro climber, and for good reason. Altitude sickness is a real risk, but it's also manageable. The key is giving your body the time it needs to adapt. Our 7-day Lemosho itinerary is specifically designed for excellent acclimatisation, which is why it has such a high success rate.
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.
