Quick answers to what people ask most before booking.
No: the Machame route has no ice or ropes — it is a high-altitude trek. Kilimanjaro is often people's first big mountain. What you need is endurance: summit night means 6–8 hours up and a long descent.
Machame is the most scenic line: rainforest, the Shira plateau, Lava Tower and the Barranco Wall in one route. Its 'climb high — sleep low' profile gives better acclimatization than the short routes — and a higher summit success rate.
By national-park rules the group is supported by local guides and porters: they carry the camp, food and main loads — you walk with a daypack only. Nights are in tents; the crew cooks hot meals.
Flights to Kilimanjaro airport, the 50 $ Tanzanian visa, insurance with a helicopter-evacuation option and tips for the guides and porters — 400 $ per person, customary and effectively obligatory. Plus gear rental if needed.
An optional extension: the Ngorongoro crater with the Big Five and a Maasai village visit, staying in a 5* hotel. From 1,500 $ depending on group size — the perfect way to see the whole of Africa in one trip.
The dry seasons: January to early March and June to October. Our February departure brings warm nights, clear sunrises and snow on the summit for spectacular photos.

Review on Yandex Maps →I met the guys back in 2020 and we have been going to the mountains together ever since. Elbrus, Kazbek, Ararat, Kilimanjaro, Lenin Peak, the trek in Nepal, Ama Dablam... If you want to fill your life with adventure, you have come to the right place. Tried and tested.
Review on Yandex Maps →Hi everyone! Many thanks to Ilya for organising a wonderful climb! It was hard, but it became possible thanks to the shared effort and teamwork. The weather was not kind, but nobody had promised us a party and a stroll over the hills. The most important thing is that we got what we came for. Thanks to everyone in the group!
Hi everyone! I want to share how good these guys are — you are awesome and you know your job.
I joined a group back in 2023 and I still remember those summit days as if they were yesterday. Do you know why? Because we even became friends and are still in touch! For me this team has become part of my sporting family. I also want to thank Ilya Sidelnikov for his help both in preparing for the summit push and on the climb itself — I made it thanks to him. The next peak is Lenin Peak, and I will definitely take that step with him. Thank you for being so responsive, I'm with you!
And to you, friends — I recommend them. Try it once and it turns into many, many times. Good luck to everyone, and new summits!
