A landscape that will infect imagination for a lifetime Kilimanjaro With the Crème de la Crème of GuidesNearly 25 years since the first article came out praising “ the way Alpine Ascents does Kilimanjaro” we have to say the expedition is better than ever. Our African guides like Jonas are fantastic, but the experience of travelling with professional guides and Kilimanjaro experts such as Eric Murphy and Ben Jones (both just off of guiding our successful Everest expedition), is not an option for most companies. Our climb is simply a different experience to travel with this level of expertise. “Of all the great guide services on Kilimanjaro, Alpine Ascents might be the best. Its success rate is close to 90 percent, and though its treks are longer and pricier, they avoid the jam-packed Marangu Route”. – Outside Magazine Great routes and many departures at: Alpine Ascents Blog
