We Are Officially Certified: Responsible Climbing on Kilimanjaro

Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is more than just an adventure – it’s a life-changing experience. Standing on the ‘Roof of Africa’ is a moment you’ll never forget. But the journey to get there matters just as much as the summit itself. Every step you take should leave a positive footprint, and that’s exactly what we at Serengeti Landmark Tours are committed to achieving.

We’re proud to share that Serengeti Landmark Tours is now officially certified by the Kilimanjaro Responsible Trekking Organization (KRTO), recognizing our dedication to fair treatment, ethical practices, and environmental care on every trek. This certification highlights our dedication to ethical practices, fair porter treatment, and environmental responsibility.

What Does a ‘Responsible Climbing’ Certification Mean?

Earning the KRTO certification is more than just a title – it’s a commitment to doing things the right way.

Here’s what it means for every trek we organize:

Fair Wages & Ethical Treatment: Our porters, guides, and crew are fairly compensated and work under proper conditions.
Top-Notch Equipment & Training: Every team member is equipped with quality gear and receives ongoing training.
Environmental Responsibility: We follow Leave No Trace principles, ensuring minimal impact on Kilimanjaro’s fragile ecosystem.

The Role of KRTO, KPAP, and IMEC

The Kilimanjaro Responsible Trekking Organization (KRTO) evolved from the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP), an initiative dedicated to improving the working conditions of porters on Kilimanjaro. KPAP ensures fair wages, proper gear, and humane treatment for the hardworking crews who make every climb possible. The hard climb couldn’t be achieved without the crew guiding us!

The International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC) oversees these efforts on a global scale, ensuring transparency and accountability in responsible trekking practices. Together, these organizations set the gold standard for ethical mountain tourism, guaranteeing that every certified operator prioritizes both social and environmental responsibility.

More Than Just a Badge

This certification isn’t just an accolade – it’s a promise. A promise to care for our team, respect our environment, and provide our climbers with an experience that’s not only unforgettable but also responsible.

When you choose Serengeti Landmark Tours, you’re not just booking a trek; you’re joining a movement. Every climb is carefully planned, every detail is considered, and every step is taken with respect for the mountain and its people.
