Roles and Responsibilities of Our Kilimanjaro Crew

Each member of our Kilimanjaro climbing team is crucial to the success of your climb. Here’s how they contribute to your Kilimanjaro summit climb:

  • Head Guide: The head guide leads the climb and ensures the safety, well-being, and satisfaction of every climber. Their experience and leadership are vital for a successful and enjoyable Kilimanjaro trekking tour. With the best Kilimanjaro trekking company by your side, you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way.
  • Assistant Guides: These guides support the head guide by helping climbers, particularly during tough stretches of the climb. Whether you’re tackling the Rongai Route Kilimanjaro or the Northern Circuit Route Kilimanjaro, assistant guides ensure that all climbers have the assistance they need to reach the summit.
  • Chef/Cook: Nutrition is key on any Kilimanjaro trek, and our chef ensures you are fueled with hot, nutritious meals throughout the journey. Unlike many other companies, we do not serve packed meals, offering instead freshly prepared food that keeps climbers energized and focused on the climb.
  • Porters: Porters play a fundamental role in making sure your climb runs smoothly by carrying tents, equipment, food, and cooking supplies. Their hard work ensures you can focus on the trek while leaving the heavy lifting to the professionals.
