Climb
Mount Kilimanjaro
and make a difference
Welcome to Kilimanjaro Wanderwomen Tours!
We are the only fully female owned and guided local tour agency at Mount Kilimanjaro and one of the very few across all of Southern Africa.
Our professional women´s team is specialized in trekking, biking, cultural encounters, wildlife safaris and more unforgettable tours - designed for truly meaningful, responsible and ethical travel.
Through our work, we create opportunities for young local women and contribute to improving their livelihoods through fair and reliable employment.
We are happy to welcome clients of all genders and ages to our tours!
What Makes Us Special
We prioritise empowering local women by providing a fair income to them and their families (learn more about Women in Tanzania). Our female porters get paid double of the usual wage. At the same time we limit the weight our porters carry up the mountain to max. 18kg instead of the usual standardized 20kg. And we make sure our staff gets at least three nutritious adequate meals a day, which unfortunatly is not always a matter of course in the local tourism business.
We are breaking ground by challenging societal norms and gender stereotypes. Our Wanderwomen are blazing a trail by taking Africa´s highest summit by storm as a mountain team. We want to be role models for girls and women around the world. We proof that women are able to do the same jobs on the mountain as their male counterparts. They do it with endurance, willpower, joy and pride at work. Come and experience the warm hearted way our team cares for you.
We create unforgettable memories and offer you a unique way to connect with local people in a very personal way behind the curtain of traditional tourism. By sharing stories and experiences, enjoying honest and respectful conversations across cultural divides we will learn from each other. You are welcome to visit one of our Wanderwomen´s home, get to know her family and emerge into their authentic local life (read more here).
We create a "safe space" in case you might feel unsettled or face obstacles as a women - for personal or cultural reasons. In our "ladies only tours" you will be able to "let your hair down" when surrounded by the same gender. We make our female costumers feel comfortable and facilitate their Kilimanjaro climb also in the "little things", because we are women ourselves. You can feel free to ask us anything (read more about advices for women).
We enable you to reveal your full potential and stretch yourself to new heights with the support of our mountain guides - all highly experienced, English speaking and trained as Wilderness First Responder. We will take care of you and make sure you feel absolutly safe with us (read more here).
We are here to remind you that you are a superhero just like us. We know that you are capable of anything you put your heart and mind to and we are here to be a helping hand in making your dream come true - to stand on Africa´s roof.
We check your wellbeing and measure your oxygen level every day (oximeter) on your Kilimanjaro trek and carry an oxygen bottle for you on all routes so we can provide maximum help in the unlikely event that you suffer severe altitude sickness on the mountain (learn about altitude sickness here).
