Meet The Heroes Behind Your Climb
Kilimanjaro Porters
Climbing Kilimanjaro relies heavily on porters. These vital team members carry your camping gear and rush ahead to set up camp before you arrive each day. While you focus on reaching the next camp, Kilimanjaro Porters prepare your sleeping area and communal spaces, ensuring that everything is ready for your recovery after a long day’s hike.
“Behind every successful Kilimanjaro Climb, there's a dedicated porter.”
KILI VIKINGS
At Kilimanjaro’s summit, while you celebrate, remember the porters who helped you get there. They do more than carry supplies; they encourage when the climb gets tough. Their strength and spirit are crucial, helping every climber push forward to the peak. Their commitment is what allows so many to experience the joy of reaching the top.
Porters on Kilimanjaro have several important jobs to carry on the mountain:
- They transport all the essential supplies, from tents and sleeping bags to food and cooking equipment.
- They efficiently prepare your tent and dining areas long before you arrive.
- They ensure the water used for drinking and cooking is clean and safe.
The importance of these tasks can’t be ignored for a successful climb, thus making porters an indispensable part of the mountain.
Respect
Promote Fair Treatment for Porters
Porters face significant challenges, such as carrying heavy loads over steep terrains and often under harsh weather conditions. Despite these difficulties, their work is crucial for the success of each expedition.
Unfortunately, some porters suffer due to inadequate gear, insufficient food, or unfair employment practices. It's important to choose a tour operator that adheres to ethical standards, ensuring porters are well-treated and properly equipped.

Great experience with Kilimanjaro Vikings, amazing flexibility and professionality
Me and my girlfriend wanted to combine climbing Kilimanjaro with the Migration Safari. I contacted few different companies to have an idea of what possibilities i could chose from, Charlie was very fast responding and he took the time to answer all my questions and clarify all my doubts.

Amazing adventure, everything was organized perfectly, from airport pickoff to drop off. Communication before and after was 10/10, guides, cook and porters beyond words and expectations. Highly recommended

WOW!! Amazing experience!
We did a 5 day safari trip and a 5 day cultural tribal tour. The Safari was great, we saw every animal we wanted to see and the itinerary was well planned. The cultural and tribal tour was awesome! It’s an experience I would recommend to everyone! We got to know the local villages and different activities with the tribes!

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Climb & 5 day Safari
We combined a 7-day Kilimanjaro Climb with a 5-day camping safari afterwards. Charlie answered all our questions fast and made a very reasonable offer. The organization was all over very good.Our guides on Kilimanjaro Michael and Protas are the very best! Caring, motivating, and just great people! Also, our cook Thomas and the porters were just amazing and so nice. The food was fantastic and fresh every day. We couldn’t have a better Kilimanjaro experience 🙂

8 days Kilimanjaro Lemosho route
We were a group of 8 friends from Germany and we did 8 days Lemosho route with Kili Vikings. It was absolutely amazing! All of us successfully reached the top, but we wouldn’t have made it without the whole team around our guides Michael, Juma and Protas.
