What is The Pathway? The Pathway is an incredibly challenging, unique in-the-world opportunity and journey of self-discovery and continuous self-improvement. I’ve been all over this beautiful planet, from top to bottom and multitudes of points in between. I’ve done a myriad of fantastical endurance events in some very remote and spectacular places. There’s simply nothing else like it. Want to find out what you’re truly made of? The Pathway. Want to go far beyond what you are today? The Pathway. Want to experience life in ways you can’t possibly currently imagine? The Pathway. There’s simply nothing else like it. Nothing.

Every year, thousands of people attempt Kilimanjaro. And every year, many turn back – not because they lacked the strength,
but because they lacked the preparation. The Pathway will ensure you have everything you need
The Pathway are willing to do SO MUCH MORE… it really is that simple!

The most amazing and emotional experience so far! This experience will stay with me forever

Support That Starts Before the Climb
Why Choose The Pathway
The majority of Kilimanjaro treks offer a basic service: a route, a guide, and logistics. What they don’t offer is what matters most – comprehensive preparation, coaching, and support before you ever set foot in Tanzania.
Climbing Kilimanjaro isn’t just a physical feat. It’s a test of mindset, endurance, planning, and belief.
You don’t just need a booking.
You need a blueprint.
We’ve partnered with one of Tanzania’s most trusted local expedition companies to offer a complete referral and booking service – backed by everything The Pathway has learned from years of leading successful summits.
This is not your typical “click and go” trip. It’s a carefully supported process designed to give you everything you need to succeed

Why This Matters
You can find cheaper treks. You can book online in five minutes.
But ask yourself this:
What’s the cost of being unprepared on Africa’s highest mountain?
This isn’t a sightseeing walk. It’s a demanding journey through five climate zones, culminating at 5,895 metres above sea level. Without the right support, altitude can beat you. Fatigue can beat you. Doubt can beat you.
The Pathway gives you the structure, coaching, and accountability to make sure none of that happens.
Frequently Asked Questions
None, but previous hiking or climbing experience will help. You need to be fit and healthy and have a good pair of worn-in hiking boots. The fitter you are the more you are likely to enjoy it.
There are at least six routes to the top, Uhuru peak. You will hike between 53 and 73km depending on which route you choose. The shortest and toughest is the 5-day Umbwe route. Allowing extra days will help you to acclimatize better and improve your chances of reaching the summit. The easiest and most popular route is Marangu (which can be done in five), but we use six days for this route.
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. Its highest point is Uhuru Peak on the Kibo crater at 5895m above sea level.
Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed anytime throughout the year. Most travelers prefer climbing during the dry seasons: December to March, June to October. Many consider the best months to climb Kilimanjaro to be January, February, and September.
On most routes, you’ll trek 4-7 hours most days. On certain routes you’ll trek as many as 10-15 hours on the longest days.
Prior to the climb, you’ll enjoy an acclimatization day with wildlife viewing and nature walks. Trekking through the rain forest, you’re likely to spot black-and-white Colobus monkeys, tropical birds and more.
Highly-trained chefs prepare three hot nutritious meals daily, as well as trail snacks and afternoon tea each day. You’ll eat all your meals in a solar-lit dining tent with your fellow trekkers and head guide. Delicious vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other specialty meals can be provided (with advance request). We’re happy to send you a sample menu—just ask!
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, celiac, lactose-free, or if you have any allergies, just give us a heads up and you will be catered to
Your mountain camps are set up and broken down each day by expert camp porters. You’ll stay in double occupancy all-weather tents with full-ground pads to keep you and your gear dry. Private toilet tents, solar-lit dining tents with tables and chairs, and basins of hot water for washing are provided in every camp. Grand Traverse treks include upgraded solar-lit walk-in-height sleeping tents with mountaineering beds and mattresses for additional comfort.Your mountain camps are set up and broken down each day by expert camp porters.
