Expert-Led Kilimanjaro Climb Packages
We provide professional guides, safety-first trekking, and high success rates.
Why Climb with Mori Tours?
Most of us at Mori grew up in the shadow of Kilimanjaro right here in Moshi. We aren’t just a booking office; we are the sons and daughters of the people who have been guiding these trails for decades. We are doing what has always been part of our life and our community.
We know the ‘fair wage’ talk is everywhere online, but for us, it’s personal. Our porters are our neighbors and friends. When you climb with us, you’re ensuring the person carrying your gear is properly clothed, well-fed, and paid a wage that actually supports a family in our community.
We don’t cut corners on safety because we want you—and our crew—to come home healthy every single time
Kilimanjaro at a Glance
Best Time to Climb: The dry seasons from June to October and December to mid-March offer the clearest views and safest trails.
How to Get Here: Fly directly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). We provide private airport pickups for all our guests.
Where You’ll Stay: We recommend basing yourself in Moshi. It is closer to the mountain gates than Arusha, meaning less time in a car and more time resting before your trek.
The Experience: This is a “trekking mountain”—no technical climbing skills or ropes are required to reach the Kibo summit.
Picking the Right Route to the Summit
Choosing a route can feel overwhelming—everyone claims theirs is the “best.” The truth is, the best route depends on how much time you have, your budget, and how your body handles high altitudes.
On Kilimanjaro, the longer you spend on the mountain, the more likely you are to reach the top. Here is our honest take on the paths you can take:
| Route | Days | Character | Best For… |
| Lemosho | 7–8 | Scenic & Quiet | Those who want the highest success rate. |
| Machame | 6–7 | Steep & Iconic | Hikers who love a challenge and great views. |
| Marangu | 5–6 | Historic & Busy | People who prefer sleeping in huts over tents. |
| Rongai | 6–7 | Remote & Wild | Those seeking solitude or climbing in rainy months. |
| Northern Circuit | 9 | Grand & Long | Serious trekkers who want the full mountain experience. |
| Umbwe | 6 | Very Steep | Experts only. It’s the ultimate physical test. |

Your Safety is Our Top Priority
We don’t just talk about safety; we practice it every hour you are on the mountain. Our guides are certified experts trained to monitor your body’s reaction to high altitudes.
Daily Health Checks: Twice a day, your guide will use a pulse oximeter to check your blood oxygen levels and heart rate. We track these numbers to catch altitude sickness before it becomes a problem.
The “Pole Pole” Philosophy: You will hear us say “Pole Pole” (Slowly, Slowly) constantly. Walking at a relaxed pace is the most effective way to help your body adjust to the thin air.
Emergency Preparedness: Every Mori Adventures climb carries emergency oxygen and a comprehensive first aid kit. Our guides are trained in mountain rescue and altitude-related medicine.
Hydration & Nutrition: Staying hydrated is half the battle. We provide plenty of purified water and high-energy, hot meals to keep your immune system strong.
