Join a scheduled departure with a small, mixed group of climbers from around the world. Same WFR-certified guides, same KPAP-compliant crew, same mountain — shared with people who, by summit night, won't feel like strangers anymore.
A scheduled departure is the simplest way to climb Kilimanjaro: pick a date, train, and show up at the airport. Twelve people max, six guides, and a crew that has done this together hundreds of times.
Each departure on the calendar is open to anyone who books it. We don't pre-assemble groups; the group assembles itself, climber by climber, as people pick a date that works.
There is no minimum — a trek runs with as few as one climber. A maximum of twelve keeps it intimate — small enough to share a mess tent, big enough that you'll find your people.
One WFR-certified lead guide for every two climbers. On a full group of twelve that's six guides, plus the porter and cook crew — about thirty-six people moving the camp around you.
Group pricing covers everything from the moment you land at JRO to the moment we drop you back. Park fees, hotels, transfers, evacuation insurance, fair porter wages — settled before you arrive.
Scheduled departures on Lemosho, Machame, Northern Circuit, and Rongai. Spots fill 4–8 months ahead in peak season.
Private departures on request — connect with our team for the latest manifest for this itinerary.
YOU'RE NOT
GOING ALONE.
About forty percent of our group climbers arrive without knowing anyone on the manifest. By day three, the mess tent feels like a dinner party. By summit night, you are cheering for people whose names you learned over tea.
