Mount Kilimanjaro
The Roof of Africa
Known as the Roof of Africa, at 5895m (19,341ft), Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain. It is also said to be the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the Seven Summits and although it is considered to be one of the easier ones, climbing it is by no means a walk in the park.
To climb Kilimanjaro is a great challenge and entirely feasible for the active traveler or keen walker looking for something new. In a matter of days, you’ll climb Kilimanjaro from the hot plains of Africa through grasslands, tropical rain forest, alpine meadows, moorlands, and desert uplands onto snow and ice, experiencing a diverse range of environments and landscapes. The mountain offers an incredible journey with both physical and mental challenges.

TAST is the guide team for you
The team, led by Musa, Chid, and Penda, made my experience life-changing. I didn’t expect to summit but with their support, encouragement, and expertise, this 62 year old made it to the top. The whole team was kind, generous and professional. Would highly recommend them to lead your group.

Incredible team
My family and I summited Mount Kilimanjaro with TAST and the team. In short, they were incredible and I have so many positive things I could say. Our guide Lucia looked after us like we were family. Climbing Kilimanjaro isn’t an easy challenge, especially on summit day, and we couldn’t have made it up there without her optimism and guidance. There are many hats that Lucia had to wear throughout our 8 day trip and she could not have been a better guide for us. Pandaeli, our assistant guide, was great fun and their balance allowed some us to enjoy the mountain and hiking at our own pace as well as staying safe on the mountain. We couldn’t have done it without all the porters and as my mum said on our last day, “when you travel you find family all across the world, thank you for being our second family.” The team was nothing short of family and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to climb Kilimanjaro. I thoroughly support the ethics of the TAST and their support of equity between women and men, our team had 4 amazing women and supporting companies like this was very important to us.

Lemosho Route, Kilimanjaro Journey to the the roof top of Africa
Favourite part of my trip - the beautiful Tanzanian people who were my family for 8 incredible days. From the bottom of the world to the roof top of Africa. A once in a life time adventure only possible because of you. An altitude climb and an inward journey

Kilimanjaro Trek
We are an Australian couple who booked through World Expeditions who engaged the services of TAST on the ground in Tanzania. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted at the airport by our driver from TAST, who also assisted us throughout our program. Always punctual and flexible in our arrangements. We completed a Kilimanjaro trek via the Rongai route, which was an amazing experience we will never forget. We highly recommend travelling with TAST, and at all times, our guides and their team were friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and communication was clear. We felt in safe hands and were treated like close friends from day one. My only tip would be if not booking directly through TAST and via a third part as we did, is to ensure that all trip notes and expectations align and are up to date. We think it may be better to book direct with TAST.
