Kilimanjaro is the least technical high-elevation climb in the world, so it gets a lot of traffic. Roughly 20,000 people start up the mountain every year. However, those who think it is a walk in the park should not be fooled. The altitude is no joke. Taking your time along the way is the key to a successful summit. This is one reason we climb the mountain the way we do — the way the vast majority of guides don’t.

Between the thin air and altitude to slip risks to the adverse weather conditions, there is a lot of risk associated with this climb. We’re pros and we have an incredibly high summit rate, but that’s because we expect a certain level of behavior and conduct from our clients while on the mountain and in the surrounding area.
The customer service on our trip was absolutely outstanding. I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in October, 2023. It was a remarkable experience. Absolutely difficult and challenging but the team was amazing. Kind, attentive, caring, compassionate, energetic, hard-working, flat-out amazing.
I went on the ausangate camping trek this summer with people I met from Kilimanjaro AND an ebc trek. It was amazing! Once we started our trek, officially at rainbow mountain, we rarely saw people other than indigenous – so cool! Gorgeous peaks, waters and amazing food from the Embark Team.
I’ve worked with Embark on two treks to Kilimanjaro and both have been absolutely phenomenal. Not only does Embark employ the best local guides, porters, and support staff, they go above and beyond to make the treks comfortable, safe, and fun.
What an amazing trip and experience. Embark does a top notch job in making sure that everything is prepared, planned and ready to just be able to enjoy the expedition.
We had a truly a magical trip up Kilimanjaro. It was unbelievable seeing how hard Embark porters, staff, and guides work. Even though we went up the hardest route on Kilimanjaro “The Western Breach” I felt safe and well looked out for. Shout out to our guides for helping us every step to the summit.
