Hear what Gideon says about Kilibound… “I have worked with many different companies, I did not like how they treat the porters. Many companies make porters carry a lot and they don’t provide porter tents. With no tent, the porters have to sleep in the mess tent, so they stay behind the rocks in the cold and in the wind and rain until the clients finish dinner. Sometimes the clients stay up and play cards, and the porters need to wake up so early in the morning but they are left to wait behind the rocks. Also, other companies I have worked with do not provide transport to the mountain for the porters, so the porters have to spend a lot out of their small salary to pay for their own transport. Other companies do not give lunch to porters, only dinner, and porters have to buy their lunch. After all of these expenses, porters go home with very little money left from their salary. Kilibound hires extra porters so nobody ever carries too much, provides lunch and dinner for no cost, provides transport to the mountain from Arusha, and provides porter tents and blankets.” – Gideon, Kilibound co-founder, head guide & manager. We cannot even list here the many amazing Tanzanian porters, assistant guides, and cooks that we have enlisted throughout the climbs that we have hosted. We cannot wait for you to meet the rest of team, and we know that they will make you fall in the love with the Tanzanian people and truly enhance your climbing experience. It is very important to Kilibound Adventures to treat its employees fairly, and we follow all rules and regulations set forth by the Tanzanian Park Authority (TPA) regarding treatment of mountain personnel. In addition, we offer incentives for exceptional service – no other outfitter can say that! As one of our porters, Juma, describes ‚”I’ve been climbing Kilimanjaro since 2003, and made to the summit over 100 times as a porter, camp crew and as a waiter. I love to work with Kilibound, my ambition is to be a Kilibound guide! The difference between Kilibound Adventures and other companies, I saw at the first moment! It is the relationship between senior staff and porters, the relationship is awesome compared to other companies, and this relationship makes the climb easier for everyone! I love to climb with Kilibound.” Contact Kilibound Adventures by calling We at Kilibound are so grateful for the many indescribable and life changing gifts that the world has bestowed upon us in the course of our travels! As the world has slowly broadened our perspective and humbled us, we have continually felt the need to give back. Climbers For A Cause was developed to provide a meaningful way to give back to the universe at large using the same approach we take to conquering the mountain – as they say in Swahili ‚”pole pole” slowly slowly! A little goes a long way, and there is no gift or effort too small. Each climb at Kilibound Adventures is dedicated to a cause, charity, or non-profit organization.. Can’t think of a cause? Don’t worry- we are familiar with many causes and organizations locally and abroad and can help you pick something that will be meaningful to you.
