THERE’S A BETTER WAY TO CLIMB KILIMANJARO
A Journey That Will Make a Difference
On Every Level
Kilimanjaro Responsible Tourism
Only when climbing Kilimanjaro can you experience unforgettable adventure and the chance to help those who made your climb possible.
How? When you climb with Barking Zebra, we guarantee a decent wage and working conditions for the expert guides and porters who make your climb safe, enjoyable and fun.
Think all climbing companies do this? Think again. Only a fraction of us provide a proper livelihood for our hard-working porters and guides. So, you get the best of the best – folks who create a fantastic climb for you. And you’ll know you’re doing your best for the mountain, the environment and your crew.
Best Crew on Kili
We love our crew and you will too! They are the hardest working and best trained porters, guides and cooks on the mountain. Their warm smiles and expertise will support your climb right to the summit.
Best Food on Kili
Food fuels the body and we offer the best food on the mountain – delicious, nutritious and fresh! How? We resupply during your climb to guarantee you three fresh meals a day. Gluten Free? Vegetarian? Other food allergies? No problem! We want you happy, healthy and well fed.
Best Gear on Kili
On the mountain you need to stay warm, dry, and with a good night’s sleep. Our mountaineering four season tents are top-of-the-line. And you’ll appreciate the generous head room in our spacious dining tents. All our gear is specially rated to tame Kili’s elements, so you can enjoy climbing Kilimanjaro with confidence.
