Kilimanjaro Joining Groups
Kilimanjaro Joining Groups : Introduction
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a big dream and you don’t have to do it alone. With our Kilimanjaro Joining Groups, you can hike with other travelers from around the world, share the journey, and enjoy the support of a friendly team.
Joining a group is a great way to save money, meet new people, and feel motivated every step of the way. Whether you’re traveling alone, with a friend, or with a small group, you’ll be part of a planned climb where everything is taken care of for you; transfers, hotels before and after the climb, experienced guides, mountain crew, meals, park fees, and more.
You can join us on one of the following group itineraries:
- 7-Day & 6-Day Machame Itinerary – popular and scenic
- 6-Day Marangu Itinerary – the “Coca-Cola” route with hut accommodation
- 7-Day and 8-Day Lemosho Itinerary – quieter and very beautiful
- 9-Day Northern Circuit Itinerary– the longest and best for acclimatization
All these climbs have guaranteed group departures with set dates. You’ll hike with others who share with you the same goal of reaching Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.
If you’re looking for adventure, support, and new friendships on the mountain, our Kilimanjaro Joining Groups are the perfect way to experience this life-changing journey.
Why Climbing Kilimanjaro in a Group Just Makes Sense
You Save Money
Sharing costs like guides, transport, and mountain crew means the price per person is lower without cutting down on quality.
You Get Instant Motivation
It’s easier to keep going when you’re not alone. Your team becomes your cheer squad. You help each other, laugh together, and push through tough moments as one.
You’re Never Alone
From your first step to the summit, you’re surrounded by others who share the same dream. Many people even make lifelong friends on the mountain.
Everything is Organized for You
No stress! Airport pickups, hotel stays, guides, meals, permits, and gear checks, it’s all arranged. You just focus on climbing.
More Safety & Support
Our trained guides and support team are always with you, and in a group, there’s always someone nearby. You’ll feel safer and more confident every day.

FAQs- Your Questions Answered
What are Kilimanjaro Joining Groups?
Kilimanjaro Joining Groups are shared climbs where individual travelers come together for a scheduled trek. You join other climbers on a specific date, share the cost of the climb, and experience the mountain as a team.
Why should I choose a Kilimanjaro Joining Group instead of a private climb?
A Kilimanjaro Joining Group gives you all the benefits of a full-service climb: professional guides, porters, meals, accommodation, but at a lower cost, thanks to shared logistics. Plus, climbing with others means more motivation, shared laughter, and sometimes even lifelong friendships.
Do I need to be very fit to join the group?
You don’t need to be an athlete, but good fitness helps. Most people on Kilimanjaro Joining Groups are everyday adventurers who train by walking, hiking, and doing cardio a few times a week.
Can I join a group if I’m traveling alone?
Absolutely! In fact, many people who book Kilimanjaro Joining Groups are solo travelers. You’ll instantly connect with other climbers, and by the time you summit together, you’ll feel like a team.
What’s included in a Kilimanjaro group climb?
Kilimanjaro Joining Groups usually include airport transfers, pre- and post-climb accommodation, park fees, professional guides, porters, 3 meals a day on the mountain, tents, and safety gear.
Which routes are available for Kilimanjaro Joining Groups?
We offer Kilimanjaro Joining Groups on the most popular and scenic routes:
7-Day and 6-Day Machame Route
6-Day Marangu Route
7-Day and 8-Day Lemosho Route
9-Day Northern Circuit Route
Each one has its own beauty and benefits, ask us if you need help choosing the best for you!
What kind of gear and equipment will I need for the trek?
You will need proper mountaineering gear including warm layers (base, middle, outer), waterproof and windproof jackets and pants, a sleeping bag rated for cold temperatures, sturdy hiking boots, a daypack, and a duffel bag for porters. A detailed packing list will be provided upon booking to help you prepare.
Is it possible to arrange a private trek if the group departure dates don't work for me?
Yes, absolutely! We specialize in both group and private treks. If our scheduled group departure dates don’t align with your travel plans, or if you prefer a more exclusive experience, we can arrange a private climb tailored to your specific dates, route preference, and group size. Contact us for a customized itinerary and quote.
How big are the Kilimanjaro Joining Groups?
Our group sizes are small and friendly, usually between 7 and 12 climbers. This keeps the experience personal and allows our guides to give everyone the attention and care they need.
What if I can’t keep up with the group?
No problem! Kilimanjaro climbs are not races. In our Kilimanjaro Joining Groups, guides ensure everyone goes at a safe and steady pace, “pole pole”, as we say in Swahili. If needed, support staff are always available to walk with slower climbers.
