Our Story

More Than a Travel Company

Climb2Kili Adventures was not created only to guide travelers to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro or across the wildlife plains of Tanzania. It was built to create opportunity, dignity, and hope for local people living around Moshi and nearby communities beneath Africa’s highest mountain.

Behind every expedition is a family depending on tourism for survival. Every guide, porter, chef, driver, and coordinator represents a real story, a real struggle, and a real dream.

That is why Climb2Kili exists — not only to show travelers the beauty of Tanzania, but to create sustainable jobs that help local families survive and grow through honest work and shared opportunity.

The Founder’s Journey

Meet Francis

Founder of Climb2Kili Adventures standing with clients on Mount Kilimanjaro

Growing up beneath the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Francis witnessed both the beauty of Tanzania and the struggles many local families face every day. His father worked as a mountain guide, leaving home before sunrise carrying heavy expedition bags — a lifelong lesson in tourism, hard work, and service.

When he was old enough, Francis started as a porter on Kilimanjaro. Carrying equipment along difficult mountain trails taught him resilience, discipline, teamwork, and respect for the hardworking crews behind every successful summit.

He became a professional mountain guide and spent more than ten years leading climbers from around the world to Uhuru Peak across the Machame, Lemosho, Marangu, Rongai, Umbwe, and Northern Circuit routes.

But his dream became bigger than guiding. He wanted a company that would create employment for local people, honor his father’s legacy, and support communities facing hardship — helping families pay school fees, afford healthcare, and survive difficult seasons of life.

That dream became Climb2Kili Adventures.

Our Local Crew

The People Behind Every Summit

Behind every traveler reaching Stella Point or Uhuru Peak is a dedicated local crew working tirelessly on the mountain — guides leading with safety and encouragement, porters carrying equipment through changing conditions, and mountain chefs preparing warm meals in difficult environments.

For many of these team members, tourism is more than work. It supports entire families, pays school fees, covers medical expenses, and creates hope for a better future. At Climb2Kili Adventures, every traveler becomes part of this story.

Yes. Our guides, porters, mountain chefs, safari drivers, and office coordinators are all local Tanzanians, most from Moshi and the communities around Mount Kilimanjaro.

Tourism income helps families pay school fees, afford healthcare, build homes, support elderly relatives, and get through difficult seasons. For many young people around Kilimanjaro, tourism is one of the few paths to a stable, long-term career.

We are based in Moshi, Tanzania, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro — close to the routes, parks, and communities behind every journey we plan.
