Kilimanjaro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And it's not without reason! During its ascent, you walk through incredibly beautiful and varied landscapes. You walk a moment on a grassy field, then you find yourself in a tropical forest with monkeys and birds. 

And higher up, you will find yourself on "the roof of Africa" ​​where you will find glaciers, snow and ice. The view from above, on the African landscape, is simply magnificent. 

And this moment when you put your foot on top of Kilimanjaro will probably be the highlight of your trip and will remain etched forever in your memories. That's why climbing Kilimanjaro is so popular.

Help the bearers of Kilimanjaro!

Tanzania Specialist is the only Dutch company member of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP). We are also a member of the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC). 

They check and make sure that the bearers with whom you climb Kilimanjaro are treated properly and work in good conditions.

The Kilimanjaro bearers often work in poor conditions and are paid very little for their hard work by guiding a climb. These porters ensure that your trip is always enjoyable and safe, this is very important for us. 

We are fighting for the rights of these porters. Our support for the Kilimanjaro Carrier Assistance Project not only improves the working conditions of porters, but also makes your trip much more enjoyable, with porters helping you with a smile on their faces.

By booking an expedition with Tanzania Specialist, you automatically support the Kilimanjaro Carrier Support Project and you are assured of the best experience!
