About us
Get to know who we are
At Kili Highlands, we’re more than a tour company. We’re mountain guides, safari experts, cooks, porters, planners—and proud locals who live and breathe Tanzania.
Founded in 2017 and fully registered with Tanzania’s Department of Tourism, Kili Highlands Explorer is your trusted local partner for unforgettable adventures. With our headquarters in Moshi, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, we’re perfectly positioned to launch your ascent of Africa’s rooftop, explore the rugged beauty of Mount Meru, or take you on thrilling safaris to any part in Tanzania.
Our goal? To make Kilimanjaro climbs and Tanzania safaris affordable, customizable, and unforgettable—while creating jobs, protecting nature, and sharing the heart of our home with the world.
We’ve welcomed adventurers from across the globe – North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, Africa, South America, and Australia – each seeking the unique magic of Tanzania.
From the moment you arrive, you’re not just a tourist, you’re part of our family. Our guides, raised in the very villages that dot the slopes of Kilimanjaro, will share stories passed down through generations, reveal hidden waterfalls known only to locals, and teach you the meaning of ‘pole pole’ as you ascend Kilimanjaro. We believe in more than just reaching the summit; we believe in connecting with the soul of this land.
Every trip you take with us supports a local crew, empowers rural communities, and leaves a positive footprint. When you travel with us, you’re not a customer—you’re part of our story.
