Mt. Kilimanjaro
Mt. Kilimanjaro
10 Days
Climb the highest mountain in Africa!
Join the Chilkoot High Adventure Base for an unforgettable adventure on Mt Kilimanjaro, one of the “Seven Summits!” We climb the mountain via the Machame Route. This is a fantastic route with incredible scenery and gives scouts an opportunity to join a non-technical climb at altitude. Chilkoot High Adventure takes the Machame Route to the summit and descends via the normal route.
This is an amazing way to see all that Kilimanjaro has to offer, and to miss the crowds. Our itineraries are designed to give scouts a positive high altitude experience. We have found that this makes a big difference in being well acclimatized and feeling strong for summit day!
We are proud to have a 97% success rate on Kilimanjaro!
SAFETY:
CHAB has a perfect safety record. We have had no major injuries or accidents in nearly 20 years of operation. This is not happenstance; your safety is our highest priority. We were the first guide service to carry satellite phones on all of our trips and continue to use them on every trip. We also carry pulse oximeters, stethoscopes, and expedition first aid kits on all treks and climbs that go to altitude. We also carry portable hyperbaric chambers on all Kili trips for your safety. No other company exceeds our level of safety!
TRIP LENGTH:
All of our trips spend 7 or 8 days on the mountain. This includes a rest/acclimatization day. We have found that this extra day spent around 14,000 feet, is critical for success on the final summit day.
PORTERS:
We provide local porters for all of our climbs. Scouts only carry a light day pack containing water, extra layers, camera and snacks. This makes the hiking that much more enjoyable and summit day that much easier.
MOSHI:
This is where our trip begins and ends. Moshi is an interesting town located near the flanks of Kilimanjaro. It is a great spot to relax before and after the trip.
KILIMANJARO’S CRATER:
On our way to the summit we will hike right along the crater rim. This is definitely a highlight of the climb. There are awesome views of the glaciers both inside the crater, and down the Machame/Shira routes!
