Intrepid Travel Kilimanjaro Reviews

Towering over the plains of Tanzania, Mt Kilimanjaro reaches up to 5896m and is an epic destination for travellers looking for the challenge of a lifetime. It’s a big draw card for trekkers travelling in East Africa, since the climb itself doesn’t require any technical equipment. However, the altitude can cause complications, and many who attempt the summit are forced to turn around before reaching the ultimate lookout point across Africa. A Kilimanjaro holiday will most likely prove the adventure of a lifetime, but be ready for an extraordinary physical challenge.

Kilimanjaro: Machame Route

Joseph · Traveled August 2024
Joshua was the best guide I have ever had. He made the trip so so enjoyable and I have never felt safer in the hands of Joshua. The extra day to acclimatise was so important and made sure everyone in the group summited.

Kilimanjaro: Machame Route

We were looked after so well by the Intrepid team, I couldn't believe how much they did to make us comfortable on the mountain - well above expectations. Some days were tough, but it was a very rewarding experience. The food was surprisingly good for being so remote, the sunsets and starry nights were picturesque and our group leader was never short of a sense of humour while still looking out for our safety. I love Intrepid for adventure and active travel and highly recommend them for this trip.

Kilimanjaro: Marangu Route

Anne Therese · Traveled August 2024
Excellent trip although tough physically and mentally, it’s a steep climb! The full crew of guides ( Rocky, Venti & Walter) and cook ( Nixon) and all the porters made this an amazing experience. If you are thinking of doing it then do it! Be prepared for it. Thank you
