Adventure Alternative - Kilimanjaro Brochure

Adventure Alternative - Kilimanjaro is an East African expedition designed to take trekkers from the hot plains to the glaciated summit of one of the world's most iconic mountains. Adventure Alternative highlights a strong record of safety and summit success, supported by its own operation on the ground in the region.

The Kilimanjaro Climb

The climb is a non-technical trek, yet it remains genuinely challenging and offers a full mountaineering experience. Trekkers pass through a remarkable variety of landscapes during the expedition:

• The hot plains at the foot of the mountain
• Cultivated farmland and forests
• High Alpine meadows
• The glaciated summit

Kilimanjaro's unique position just below the equator allows trekkers to experience an extraordinary range of environments within a single expedition.

Operating in East Africa

Adventure Alternative operates its own company in East Africa to look after travellers' needs, spanning mountains, safaris and overland 4x4 trucks. Its sister company, Africampers, maintains large stores of equipment on site, together with a full complement of staff and vehicles.

The company never outsources, drawing instead on a wealth of experience and an established team to support the expedition from start to finish.

Beyond the Mountain

In addition to the Kilimanjaro trek, the East African operation extends to safaris and overland journeys by 4x4 truck, making it possible to combine the mountain challenge with wider exploration of the region.
