Our climbers will already know that in many respects our organisation and procedures
are unique from all other Kilimanjaro tour operators. When booking a climb with Team
Kilimanjaro climbers are choosing to bypass agents and middlemen, enabling both the
climbers, and our coordinators alike, to ensure that all information relating to
the climbing group’s needs, preferences and special aspirations, is received and
retained by the very people who will be responsible for you when you’re on the mountain.
Enhanced services available to families and friends of our Kilimanjaro climbers
Since the structure of our climb operation minimises breaks in communication we are
able to provide more information, updates, and feedback to the families and friends
of those climbing with us than might otherwise be expected when booking through a
travel agent. As a part of this enhanced service we aim to make available the daily
situation reports (SITREPS) that we receive from our mountain guides, as and when
we ourselves receive them.
How to find your friends’ climb reports
The primary objective of this blog is therefore to make our mountain guides’ SITREPS
available to the friends and families of our climbers, enabling them to follow their
progress up the mountain. Groups are referred to by referencing the first two letters
of the first name and surname of the the person who was responsible for corresponding
with us on the behalf of the rest of the climbing group, during the planning phase
of the climb. For example, if John Doe and his five friends climb with us, his group
will be known as JODO x 6. We therefore recommend that climbers inform their families
and friends of the name of their principal correspondent before flying out to Kilimanjaro.
Contributing to the Kilimanjaro climbers’ blog
Traditionally, when a friend or relative flew out to climb Kilimanjaro, they effectively
disappeared off the radar, with loved ones at home not knowing how they were getting
on. We find however, that our climbers are very keen to stay in touch with the people
back home and draw great morale from just a few words of encouragement. With this
in mind we therefore invite anyone who has an interest in any of our climbers to
please contribute to the forum.
