Kili guides all the way!
“We had an amazing experience with Kili Guides, from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to spending a couple of unforgettable days on safari afterward.
The guides were supportive, knowledgeable, and always positive. They checked in on us constantly, kept the mood high, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable the entire way.”

Questions before you travel.
Quick answers about booking, the best time to visit and what to expect on your trip.
Still have a question?Ask our local team anything about your trip.
How do I book a trip with The Kili Guides?
Send us your dates and ideas using the trip planner at the top of this page, on WhatsApp or by email. We reply with a day-by-day plan and a clear quote. When you are happy with everything, we confirm your booking.
When is the best time to climb Kilimanjaro?
You can climb all year. The driest and most popular months are roughly January to early March and June to October. April and May are the wettest months, so the trails are quieter but muddier.
When is the best time for a safari?
You can go on safari all year. June to October is the dry season and great for game viewing. January and February is calving season in the southern Serengeti. Tell us your dates and we will plan the best route for that time.
Are your trips private?
Yes. Safaris have their own vehicle and driver-guide, just for your group, and we run private climbs for any group size. You set the pace and we plan around you.
How fit do I need to be to climb Kilimanjaro?
Good general fitness is enough. No technical climbing is needed. The hardest part is the altitude, so we recommend routes with more days, which give your body time to adjust.
Can I combine a Kilimanjaro climb with a safari?
Yes, and it is one of the most popular trips. We plan the whole journey, with a hotel night after the climb so you can rest before the safari. See our climb + safari packages.
What is included in the price?
Each trip page lists exactly what is included. Usually this covers park fees, guides, transport, and the accommodation and meals shown in the itinerary. International flights, visas, travel insurance and tips are not included.
Do you pick up from the airport?
Yes. We can meet you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and take you to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. Send us your flight details when you enquire.
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Most visitors need a visa. Many nationalities can apply for an e-visa online before travel. Please check the current rules for your country on the official Tanzania immigration website before you fly.
