We Know Tanzania Because Tanzania Is Home

Kili Altitude Adventures is a locally owned adventure company based in Moshi, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. We were born here, we grew up here, and every trail, every viewpoint, every cultural rhythm of this land is part of who we are.

Founded by Selestini Emmanuel Mtui, a Moshi local with deep roots in the mountain community, our company was created from a simple belief: that every traveler deserves an authentic, safe, and deeply personal Tanzanian experience — guided by people who truly know this land.

We specialize in Kilimanjaro climbing expeditions, wildlife safaris across Tanzania's legendary parks, day trips to waterfalls, hot springs and cultural villages, and tailor-made adventures designed around you. Every journey we create reflects our passion for Tanzania and our commitment to genuine hospitality.

"We don't just guide you up a mountain — we share our home, our culture, and our passion with every step of the journey." — Selestini Emmanuel Mtui, Founder

Born on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in Marangu Village. My journey began as a porter — through saving, training and years of guiding, I built this company with a team of local guides, porters and cooks.

Today I have personally summited Kilimanjaro more than 200 times. In 2018, we founded Kili Altitude Adventures to give people from around the world the life-changing opportunity to stand on the Roof of Africa — while creating real opportunities for local Tanzanians.
