Our trips are truly comfortable
Our expedition planning team always goes an extra mile to deliver the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience.
Quality Tents
For our standard expeditions, we only use four-season tents from The North Face and Mountain Hardwear.
Our premium trips feature our custom-ordered walkable Altezza Kilimanjaro tents with camp cots.
Well-trained guides
Kilimanjaro is not just a hike - it is also a social and cultural experience. Our guides are excellent companions to spend seven days with. While having outstanding guiding skills, they are also well-mannered, unobtrusive and great story-tellers.
Branded gear store
Mapaka Safaris has the largest (and the only) gear store in Kilimanjaro where clients may hire top-tier branded gear for the climb. We regularly change our inventory to make sure that all the gear and clothing are in excellent condition. We order from the North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Black Diamond, and Red Fox.
Extended meal plans
We hired a professional nutritionist from France to design our delicious and energy-rich meal plans. Using only fresh local ingredients, our mountain chefs offer a range of classic, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menus for clients to choose from.
We Take Safety Seriously
At Mapaka Safaris we are particularly concerned about safety of our Kilimanjaro expeditions. We are proud to have never had a serious incident on the Mount Kilimanjaro since day one of our work. The linchpin of our safety policy are:
Medical Check-Ups Twice Per Day
The guiding crew performs two medical check-ups for the clients and the crew members every day. This is done to make sure that the acclimatization process goes as planned, and, if necessary - to adjust the climb plan accordingly.
Detailed Health Records
Before the start of each trip a client completes a digital medical form to assess general physical condition. During the medical check-ups on the adventure all medical information is carefully recorded
Why do we do health information?
If, in a very unlikely scenario, a hospitalization becomes necessary, our records will arm the doctors with right information to plan the treatment in a most effective manner. We are one of the few Kilimanjaro companies to follow this protocol. and kept with utmost confidentiality.
