How we started

In the making Kili Climb Africa Safaris we worked through the combined experience and vision of over 50 dedicated Kilimanjaro and trekking specialists from senior managers to porters. Most of the Kili Climb Africa Safaris team have been working together since 2009 shaping the way we do business and that makes for a very dedicated and closed team. It is that team is Kili Climb Africa Safaris. Members start at the bottom and work up – after all if you have been a porter as a guide you can properly emphathise with their position and earn their respect.
