At Emmaventure, Kilimanjaro is close to the heart. Emmanuel, our founder, began his mountain career as a porter and has summited Kilimanjaro more times than he can count. With years of first hand experience, he knows exactly what it takes to run a success ful climb and now, he puts that knowledge into organizing unforget table treks for others. Today, Emmanuel leads from the ground, working closely with a fixed, experienced crew many of whom are family or lifelong friends . Our team is fully licensed, professionally trained, and deeply connected. This close-knit community ensures every climb is not only safe and well-organized, but also personal, authentic, and filled with the spirit of the mountain.
Known as the “ Whiskey Route, ” the 7- day Machame Route is one of Kilimanjaro’s most popular and for good reason. It’s a route that offers striking scenery from day one, moving through lush rainforest , high moorland, alpine desert , and finally to the glacier- capped summit . Compared to other routes, Machame is more physically demanding, but allows for excellent acclimatization thanks to its “climb high, sleep low ” profile.

The 8- day Lemosho Route is often described as Kilimanjaro’s most beautiful and it’s easy to see why. Starting on the quieter western side of the mountain, this route offers a more remote and less- traveled approach, with breathtaking views and a peaceful start through untouched rainforest. With a full 8- day itinerary, Lemosho allows for a slower, more gradual ascent, giving your body time to adjust and increasing your chances of a successful summit. It’s a perfect
balance of scenic beauty, solid acclimatization, and real wilderness experience.
