“The Impact Kilimanjaro team were fabulous and helped organise a perfect itinerary for us. My 11-year-old son and I climbed Kilimanjaro. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
Built around you
Private Kilimanjaro expeditions for individuals, couples and small groups, built entirely around you. Choose your own dates, your own route, and do it at your own pace.
This is different from our Founder’s Trip, which is a fixed-date, fixed-route expedition open to anyone wanting to climb alongside our founder Sean Burgess. If that’s what you’re after, you can find out more here.
Milestones worth marking
A landmark birthday, an anniversary, a career change or a once-in-a-lifetime goal. The climb becomes the way you mark it, with people who matter.
Family and friends
Parents with teenagers, siblings, old friends reuniting. A private team of your own, at the pace of your slowest walker, not a stranger-filled group.
Your dates, your route
You choose when, which route and how it is paced. We build the climb around your fitness, your time and what you want to get out of it.
What's included
The standard on every private climb
Every detail handled with safety and care.
- Built Around Your Group
- Choose your own dates and travel with just your partner, your closest friends, or entirely solo - the climb is built around you, not the other way around
- Your Route, Your Pace
- Pick the route and pace that suits your group, whether that's maximising acclimatisation, minimising days on the mountain, or something in between.
- Expert Guides & Support
- Experienced guides trained to support climbers of every fitness level, from first-time trekkers to seasoned mountaineers.
- Clear Team Communication
- One dedicated point of contact from planning to summit day, so you always know exactly where things stand.
- Seamless Group Logistics
- From fitness prep to on-mountain support, every detail is handled, so your group just needs to show up ready to climb.
- Camp
- One person per tent, plus a toilet tent that travels with the group: at least one per group, usually one for every four or five climbers.
- Food
- Hot meals throughout the climb.
Safety & standards
Safety is the baseline, not a goal
Safety is the baseline for everything we do, not a goal we are chasing. Group leaders and organisers are kept informed with clear guidelines, so you have transparency and peace of mind before and during the trip.
Planning
Detailed risk assessments for every expedition, and the same careful planning for charities, companies, schools and private groups.
Leadership
Highly trained, wilderness first aid trained guides and a long-standing Tanzania ground team, chosen for how they lead a group under real mountain conditions.
Standards
Internationally recognised safety standards, with emergency plans, medical kits and communication systems throughout the climb.
Wellbeing
From dietary needs to emotional support, every climber is looked after and encouraged to reach the summit.
