Why Climb With Ultimate Kilimanjaro?

With Ultimate Kilimanjaro, you get high quality service but without the inflated cost. Our trips are private. We don't force you to join large groups to climb with a bunch of strangers. Most climb operators run group departures, where you join other climbers to form a larger group, usually with a maximum of around 12 to 16 people. For each party, there is a guide, assistant guides, and depending on the route and the number of days, two to four porters per climber. Therefore a group of 12 to 16 climbers means that there can be 35 to 50 staff, bringing your group to almost 50 to 70 people total! Asking guides to watch and manage that many people is a daunting task, but that is precisely what our competition does.

A private, small-party, custom climb is not the only way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

It's just the best way.

There is a better team dynamic with a small, private group, which not only makes the days on the mountain more fun, but safer as well, when a group works well together. With a small group, our guides, very experienced and competent, can effectively monitor the progress each individual climber and the collective group. Our guides have the opportunity to interact with each climber to assess how he or she is doing, and to ask and answer questions when needed. Our porters, honest and hardworking, can also provide better service by catering to the varied needs of each member.
