Learn the secrets of our 100% summit success rate and why you should put this 19,341 foot climb on your calendar
I’m recently back from trekking to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania and can confidently say this bucket-list adventure lived up to the hype and more!
Mt. Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s tallest peak but it’s the world’s tallest free-standing peak at 19,341 feet! We passed through five climate zones where the temperature dramatically drops the closer you get to the summit. (It’s the equivalent of traveling from the equator to Antarctica). The average summit success rate is about 60% but our group of 18 enjoyed a 100% summit success rate!
The secret of our 100% success rate…great partners are everything! MOJO vets the best guides and logistical operation partners so we can fully support our clients on the ground.
