With over 25 years of experience specializing in one country and one mountain, Thomson Safaris sets the standards for safety, success, and ethical trekking practices on Kilimanjaro.
We offer you expert advice and prevent important details from falling through the cracks because our attention is focused solely on travel to Tanzania, and no other destination.
Thomson offices are located in the U.S. and Tanzania, which allows us to keep our fingers on the pulse of Kilimanjaro at all times.
Tanzania is Our Only Business
We are passionate about this awesome mountain and our team of Kilimanjaro specialists is dedicated both to helping you prepare for this challenge before you depart, and to safely guiding you on an unforgettable adventure to the summit of Kilimanjaro.
No Middleman
Thomson Safaris is a US-based operator who works directly with Thomson Safaris, Ltd in Arusha, Tanzania. Both companies, owned by Rick Thomson and Judi Wineland, are under the same umbrella of quality control.
Rick and Judi have both climbed Kilimanjaro with their teenage daughters on separate occasions. They understand that being committed to the well being of the trekkers as well as to the guides and porters is crucial for the success of every trek.
Booking a trek through an unknown third party operator can compromise your safety, the safety of the mountain staff, and allows room for important details to fall through the cracks.
We Know Safety
Our mountain staff has years of experience and is medically trained to ensure your safety. We outfit our treks with modern, reliable safety equipment and our guides maintain contact with our base office in Arusha throughout your trek.
We Live And Breathe Kilimanjaro! Our Goal Is To Assist You
From the moment you book your trip, our U.S. Kilimanjaro Specialists will ensure that you are well prepared.
Our Tanzania Kilimanjaro Specialists are dedicated to providing you a seamless experience throughout your stay in Tanzania.
Thomson Kilimanjaro Guides will dazzle you with their dedication to safety, experience, professionalism, and kindness.
Our Porters and Cooks provide an unparalleled camp experience that allows you to sit back, relax, and focus on the challenge ahead.
David Breashears, 5-time Everest Climber, Understands Quality & Safety
The famed mountaineer and film-maker who directed the epic IMAX film, "Everest," and more recently "Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa" recommends Thomson Safaris as the best company to take trekkers to the Roof of Africa.
Let Us Take Care Of Your Flights
Our relationship with Northwest/KLM gives us access to competitive, unpublished rates for flights from the U.S. to Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania.
No Hidden Costs
Our land packages are all-inclusive. We do not separate park fees or any other component of your trip. Virtually the only extra money you will need in Tanzania is for gratuities and souvenirs.
