Welcome to Your Group’s Kilimanjaro Climb Updates
This page is dedicated to sharing updates from the mountain as our climbers take on the incredible adventure of summiting Kilimanjaro.
We’ll be posting highlights, including photos and key milestones, so family and friends can follow along from wherever you are. Thanks for supporting your climber—karibu to the journey!
I’ll do my best to provide updates as often as possible, but please keep in mind that communication can be limited over the weekends or in areas with spotty reception. Additionally, our office staff in Tanzania is unavailable on Sundays, so formal updates may be delayed.
A quick note about the updates:
While some messages may seem brief, this is usually a good sign! Most days won't include detailed personal notes simply because the team is doing well and steadily making their way to the next camp. Rest assured, if there are any health concerns, major weather developments, or schedule changes, we will notify you right away.
If you need anything along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out — we're always here to help.

Summit Update: Uhuru Peak Success! 🌄🏆
Warm greetings from the Roof of Africa!
We are thrilled to share that the group has successfully stood at the summit of Kilimanjaro — Uhuru Peak (19,340’ / 5,895m)! After a challenging but unforgettable climb, they celebrated at Africa’s highest point before descending safely to Mweka Camp. Tonight, they’re resting, reflecting on their accomplishment, and sharing the joy of this once-in-a-lifetime achievement. Everyone is safe, happy, and proud of what they’ve accomplished.
Update from Kilimanjaro: Kosovo Camp ⛺
Hello from high on Kilimanjaro!
The climbers are now at Kosovo Camp (16,000’ / 4,876m), perched high above Barafu on a quiet ridge. From here, the glaciers seem close enough to touch, and the views stretch endlessly into the horizon. This is their final stop before the summit attempt. The team is resting, eating well, and preparing for the big push to the top later tonight. Spirits are steady, and anticipation is in the air as they prepare for the challenge that awaits.
Update from Kilimanjaro: Karanga Camp 🏞️
Greetings from Karanga Camp!
The group has reached Karanga Camp (13,100’ / 3,992m). Perched on the southern slopes of Kilimanjaro, this camp offers incredible views of both the summit above and the sprawling valleys below. The air is cooler and thinner here, but the team is adjusting well. Tonight, they’ll share stories over a warm meal and prepare for the days ahead. Everyone is doing wonderfully, and there’s a sense of excitement building as they look toward the summit. .
Update from Kilimanjaro: Barranco Camp 🏔️
Hello from Barranco!
The climbers have made it to Barranco Camp (13,000’ / 3,962m), one of the most iconic stops on Kilimanjaro. Nestled at the base of the mighty Barranco Wall, this camp is surrounded by towering cliffs, whimsical giant groundsels, and clouds that drift through the valley. It’s a dramatic and beautiful place to spend the night. The team is healthy, strong, and enjoying the camaraderie that comes from sharing this journey together.
Update from Kilimanjaro: Machame Camp 🏕️
Hello from the slopes of Kilimanjaro!
The group has safely reached Machame Camp (9,300’ / 2,835m). This first camp sits at the edge of the lush rainforest, where giant trees tower overhead and the sounds of the forest fade into the evening air. Tents are set, a warm meal is waiting, and the team is settling in for their first night on the mountain. Spirits are high, and everyone is adjusting well to the adventure ahead. Tonight, they’ll fall asleep beneath a canopy of stars, ready to continue upward tomorrow.
