Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing
Mount Kilimanjaro
A trek in this mountain is a life-time awe experience, a world class achievement that we are at Boker Adventures will be happy to be part of while you take on. Focus is to get you to enjoy every moment of the trek as you find your way to the top. A team of well-motivated professional guides and porters will take on the lead as you take the challenge. The most cost effective way to climb, also recommended those that would prefer not to take the challenge solo.Africa’s highest peak and one of the world’s greatest natural wonders: a snow covered mountain on the equator, amidst an ocean of green forest surrounded by dry savannah. Climbing Kilimanjaro is like walking from the equator to the North Pole in a week, where travellers will experience dramatic changes in vegetation and animal life day by day. It’s like trekking through a nature documentary: every campsite on Kilimanjaro provides breathtakingly beautiful views and some much needed respite in the peaceful quiet of the end of the day.
Follow us to Mount Kilimanjaro in our short documentary and find out what it’s really like to summit the roof of Africa at 5,895m (19,341ft) above sea level. Whether you are in need of some inspiring or tips on preparing for the climb, it’s an extremely useful watch no matter where you are in the planning stages. Meet the mountain crew who make this magnificent once in a lifetime experience possible. Watch the team trek through five unique ecosystems and virtually every type of ecological system. Find out what it really takes to conquer one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.
Climbing Kilimanjaro requires no technical climbing skills and is considered a “safe” mountain. However, the climb exposes your body and mind to a number of challenges. On your way to the top, expect to hike about 4-7h per day and around 10-14h on summit day. But that’s only the physical challenge, in addition, your body is exposed to temperature fluctuations and the altitude.

Climbing Routes
There are seven established routes that lead to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. They are: Lemosho, Machame, Marangu, Rongai, Northern Circuit, Shira and Umbwe. There’s also a descent-only route called the Mweka route. Each of the seven Kilimanjaro routes has its own pros and cons, like cost, scenic variety and summit success rate. Each should therefore be thoroughly researched in order to make an informed and educated choice.

Journey054549562492023-08-25 Solo tour in Tanzania Since I read a lot about Tanzania i decided to put in my backet list for this year which I save and fulfill to complete my goal of visiting Tanzania. I arrived Tanzania early this august alone and try to check with the local tour operator on the internet and found Boker adventures. I requested for a joining group to Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro that departure on early august and lucky enough i got one. The agent was very active in responding and looks very professional on how to organize the joining group because he was very transparent. The Serengeti was amazing and Ngorongoro as well, i saw a lot of animals like zebras, antelopes, lions, birds and so many. I was so surprised to see so many people visit the parks. I asked, and been told its a high season, hahaha. The guide was also very professional and calm to make sure everyone in the jeep have enough time to enjoy their interest The hotels in the park were so nice, clean and meals was actually so delicious than i was expected. I wish to say thank you so much and i really appreciate Boker Adventures efforts for making sure i fulfil may goal. I recommend this agency for the best service and kindness team. Thanks Robert Amani Samuel2023-04-02 Une randonnée inoubliable avec l'équipe de guide professionnelle Moi, ma femme et 2 autres personnes, on a formé un groupe de 4 pour faire une randonnée vers le sommet du montagne Kilimandjaro en passant par la route de Lemosho. Nous avons fait 7 jours en totale de promenade et c'était inoubliable. L'équipe de guide était excellent, très professionnelle sans oublier la cuisine Tanzanienne est hyper délicieux. On a adoré la nature, les roches et une météo intéressante surtout il y a eu du soleil car il n'y pas de pluie en mars. Je recommande vivement la tourisme en Tanzanie et surtout avec des guides expérimentés comme celles de Boker Adventures. marcus lesney2022-08-29 Happy and Joyful trip in Tanzania My family and friends highly recommend Tanzania for tourism. This was because of the experience and good time we had after been organized with local tour company Boker Adventures. Peter and the team worked so hard to make sure we had an amazing trip since we arrived in Tanzania. The hotel were great with good services all the time. The guides very experienced and knowledgable with the nature. We spent enough time in each park Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti park. We saw all big fives close enough. The Zanzibar part was awesome, the beach sand was white clean and enjoyable. Marijani hotel was the best since we had brilliant view at the ocean. We highly recommend for safari and zanzibar tour with Boker Adventures. Regards Marcus Jade Hachem2022-08-13 Unforgettable 12-day honeymoon tour! My wife and I had an unforgettable 12-day tour for our honeymoon with Boker Adventures! I truly have no words to describe how amazing our experience was with Peter and our exceptional guide Kanti. Our wonderful itinerary included: hiking to Materuni Waterfalls and making traditional coffee with the Chagga tribe, staying with the Maasai, visiting 5 splendid national parks (Mkomazi, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara), and discovering Zanzibar island. Needless to say, every day was a thrilling adventure. I still have goosebumps just thinking about all the memorable places we visited and the lovely people we met. Everything was so perfectly organized! Peter and Kanti were so professional, cooperative, flexible, efficient, and most importantly, welcoming and friendly. We felt like we were part of their family during the whole trip. They made sure that we had a perfect time and they paid attention to every single detail (including the romantic ones). To be honest, the trip was beyond my - already very high - expectations! I recommend them 150% as a trusted agency for local tourism and authentic adventures in Tanzania! From the bottom of my heart, a thousand thanks for making our honeymoon a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We cannot wait to come back to Tanzania and do another trip with you (sooner rather than later). Warmest regards, Jade JDuan2022-01-21 Professional ,Super friendly Unforgettable experience!

I traveled to Dar Es Salam from the US and took a trip to Zanzibarwhile I was there. When I got back to Dar I wanted to go see Kilimanjaro while I was out there and so close to it from US. I only had 3 days left in TZ so I did not want to risk driving so I asked the concierge at my hotel if she could assist me in getting to Kilimanjaro and back before my flight left and she said yes. She called Peter (The owner of Boking Adventures) and that same night he came to my hotel, asked some questions about what I wanted to see, what was my time frame there and back, and what kind of hotel I wanted to stay in. I answered his questions and he put together a package for me that night and had my flight and hotel booked that night. The next morning he arrived at my hotel at 7am to take me to the airport and when I arrived at Kilimanjaro airport there was a driver waiting for me who took me to my hotel to drop bags, asked if i needed time to relax for a bit or if I wanted to go sight seeing asap. I wanted to go sight seeing. We dropped my bags and he took me around town, to a great BBQ restaurant, and several other places that day and back to my hotel. The next morning he picked me up at 9am and took me all over Moshi. We went to Kilimanjaro national park, Madango waterfall, a coffee tour, and lunch. It was an AWESOME time. Bill and David, my guides while I was in Kilimanjaro were AWESOME. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Bill took me to fly my drone and get the best food in Moshi. David gave me the history of the Chaga people (I hope I'm not butchering their tribe name) and David is very knowledgeable about the mountain and the history of the people in that region. The coffee tour was unbelievable. At one point I was like nah, I think Ill skip the coffee tour but I'm sooo glad I didn't. That was AWESOME. I got the biggest bag of coffee I could fit in my pack to bring back, along with two bacs of Coco. The experience of the temperature change from the base of the mountain to the starting point of the mountain climb was unbelievable, Its like going from 100 degrees to 45ish Fahrenheit, and your ears pop like you're on an airplane. I will never forget it. I did this last minute trip in September of 2021 and Ill be back in January 2022. I will definitely be contacting Peter again for a Serengeti trip and to see Arusha while I'm out that way. Thank you Peter, Bill, and last but definitely not least David. charlsedon2021-08-19 Good service and hospitality Me, my beloved wife Jessica and our son James decide climb Mt Kilimanjaro via Lemosho route and 4 days safari with Boker Adventures Company this month August and manage to make it to the Uhuru Summit. This has been possible without the best time organized by Boker Adventures Company. The guides were very friendly and cooperative all time since we started climbing. They checked our health every morning and evening before we slept to make sure me and my families are healthy well. They pushed us to the limit and courage us especially on the night before summit. We were almost about to given up at Stella point but Juma, Rashid and Mudi (Guides) inspired us to kept trying. Uhuru peak it’s was the best and beautiful place to be as the zone was covered with ice with amazing view, so we took photos with my family for best memories. The cook was so nice and knows to cook varieties of healthy food and on time, we never climbed empty stomach, he make sure we get warm and fresh food everyday though I was so surprised how faster he is to make food at every point. Thank you for the Abbas the cook. Also porters were really strong and powerful, they were walking very fast as all the time we reached at the camp we found them already there waiting for us with all big duffle bags. They were doing a great job. After descending back we overnight in moshi and next day travel to tarangire national park, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National park. We were so happy to see animals close on their natural nature. We managed to see all big fives and birds. The guide English was brilliant and had a big knowledge about animals and birds. After safari we went straight to the airport with our guide. Thanks you so much Erasto ( tour Guide) On behalf of my family I wish to acknowledge the effort and hospitality Peter the director and your team for endless updates you shared with us from booking our flight, hotels and all tour until the last day. Your hard working team is the result of your success. I will always recommend you as a trusted company for tourism in Tanzania. Thanks Charlse Donald. Dottry M2020-11-15 Excellent tour organiser and the guide, highly recommended We had the best trip ever after Climbing. Communication with Peter was great, he replies immediately and answers every question. That makes planning your safari very easy, thank you! As we arrived in Arusha, Peter met up with us at the hotel to arrange all the details. We had a look at the car the day before the safari, so we knew that everything was fine and we had a reliable car. Everything, from the very first contact to our last day on safari was simply amazing. We are so glad we chose Boker Adventures, the driver Mudi was such a nice guy, a very good driver who is very patient and knows a lot about safaris. We would always choose Boker Adventures for our next trip, it is a very reliable company, we would always support again. Thank you Peter & Mudi for making our safari a real authentic experience!! abigal M2020-10-01 Epic moment with Boker Adventures. Kilimanjaro climbing is one of our best adventures we did this year 2020. It was so challenging because of the COVID breakdown but we truly appreciate Boker Adventure team for their courage and make us fulfill our dream. They took all precautions to COVID since Airport by checking our temperature and provide us with the mask though after that day we opt to stay without a mask as we saw everyone around town without a mask so we did not want to be different from others. This has been like born again on the other universe since we did not think this was true but finally it is. We did Machame 7 days and it went very well, the food was fine and delicious, the guides were brilliant, kind, and very supportive including the porters who were there to assist with our backpack every time. we truly appreciate that as well and without you guys, we couldn't reach our dream. We highly recommend people visit Tanzania as it is a safe place in the world to visit. Thanks, Peter and your team for good work. See you soon.
