Trek Mount Kilimanjaro via the scenic 7-day Machame Route, meet inspiring women from different countries, and share the challenge of reaching Africa’s highest peak together. You can choose the Kilimanjaro climb only or extend your journey with a Tanzania safari to Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park.

Why Join a Women-Only Kilimanjaro Group?

Joining a women-only Kilimanjaro group gives you the opportunity to experience the mountain in a supportive, encouraging, and social environment.

For solo female travelers, it offers the freedom of traveling independently while still having a group waiting for you in Tanzania.

A women-only Kilimanjaro group gives you the opportunity to:

• Meet women from different countries and backgrounds.
• Share the challenge of Kilimanjaro with a supportive team.
• Build friendships during the climb.
• Travel independently without having to organize your own group.
• Feel comfortable discussing personal trekking concerns.
• Continue the adventure together on an optional Tanzania safari.

Why We Use the 7-Day Machame Route

Our WomenClimbKili groups use the 7-day Machame Route, one of the most scenic and popular trekking routes on Mount Kilimanjaro.

The route passes through several different environments, including rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and the high-altitude summit zone.

The seven-day itinerary also provides more acclimatization time than shorter Machame itineraries and includes famous locations such as Shira Plateau, Lava Tower, Barranco Wall, Karanga Camp, and Barafu Camp before the final summit attempt to Uhuru Peak.

Perfect for Solo Female Travelers

You do not need a friend, partner, or travel companion to join WomenClimbKili. Solo female travelers are welcome on every scheduled departure.

Many women arrive in Tanzania independently and meet the rest of their group in Moshi before the climb. You attend the pre-climb briefing and equipment check together before beginning the Kilimanjaro journey as one team.

This gives you the freedom of solo travel while still having the companionship and support of other women throughout your Kilimanjaro adventure.

What Is Included in the WomenClimbKili Package?

The WomenClimbKili package covers the main services needed before, during, and after your Kilimanjaro climb.

• 7-day Kilimanjaro trek via the Machame Route.
• Four hotel nights in Moshi for the climb-only package.
• Two hotel nights before the climb.
• Two hotel nights after the climb.

Optional 4-Day Tanzania Safari

After climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, you can extend your WomenClimbKili experience with a four-day Tanzania safari.

This option is ideal for women who want to experience both Africa’s highest mountain and Tanzania’s world-famous wildlife during the same journey.

Serengeti National Park

Explore the vast Serengeti ecosystem, famous for its open plains and incredible wildlife including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many other species.

Ngorongoro Crater

Descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife destinations and one of the best places to experience a large concentration of animals in a relatively small area.

Tarangire National Park

Visit Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant population, beautiful baobab trees, and diverse wildlife.

Maximum Group Size: 12 Women

Each WomenClimbKili departure is limited to a maximum of 12 women.

Keeping the group small creates a more personal experience and makes it easier for climbers to get to know one another and communicate with the mountain team throughout the trek.

You can join alone or with a friend. You do not need to organize your own group before booking.

Kilimanjaro Safety and Mountain Support

Safety is one of our priorities throughout every Kilimanjaro climb.

Our WomenClimbKili groups are supported by experienced mountain guides, porters, and cooks who work together throughout the expedition.

Our mountain team carries emergency oxygen, a first-aid kit, and a pulse oximeter for daily health checks. Guides monitor how each climber is adjusting to altitude and can take appropriate action if someone develops symptoms of altitude sickness or another medical problem.

We strongly recommend that every participant travels with suitable travel insurance covering trekking up to Kilimanjaro’s altitude and emergency evacuation.

Ethical Kilimanjaro Climbing

WomenClimbKili is operated by Eco-Africa Climbing, a local Tanzanian Kilimanjaro operator committed to responsible and ethical trekking.

Fair treatment of our guides, porters, cooks, and other mountain crew members is an important part of how we operate our Kilimanjaro expeditions.

Eco-Africa Climbing is a partner company of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP), which promotes fair and ethical treatment of Kilimanjaro porters.
