Introduction

Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, is the least difficult of the Continental Summits and is a superb challenge for fit trekkers and walkers. However, the mountain is frequently underestimated and each year, many people attempt a five-day dash up the Marangu Route and fail to reach the top, due to altitude sickness. Jagged Globe has a long history of running expeditions to Kilimanjaro, since 1994. Including private expeditions, we have now organised over 100 expeditions to the mountain. Our itineraries are carefully designed with the aim of getting every team member to the summit - something that we achieve on the vast majority of our trips... read more
