Who we are:
Kilimanjaro’s Wild Adventure is a locally-owned and locally-based tour company in Moshi, Tanzania, home to Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Our owner and Executive Director, Laurent Kinabo, was born and raised in Moshi and is a member of the local Chaga Tribe. Mr. Kinabo obtained his Tourism degree in ____ from ____________. He has worked in the Tanzanian tourism industry for over a decade, climbing Kilimanjaro numerous times, leading dozens of safaris and other trips, and developing relationships with local guides, restaurants, hotel operators, and other providers.
Why us?
Local Ownership and Operation
Foreign companies own a lot of tour companies, but Kilimanjaro’s Wild Adventures operates out of a local office. When you book, arrive, and go on your outings, it is ONLY with locals, including Mr. Kinabo himself!
Full Concierge Services
Most tour companies handle your itinerary and book your outings. Kilimanjaro Wild picks you up at the airport, brings you to Moshi or Arusha, and gets you to and from your hotel ourselves.
Safety and Local Guides
We have talked to a lot of tourists about things that they wondered about before visiting Tanzania. The answers tend to center on shopping, safety, and food.
Our Promises To You:
We will go shopping with you to be sure that you get what you need at the right price.
We know local hospitals, policemen and emergency providers, so if something unexpected happens, we will help ensure you get the professional assistance you need.
We know all of the local restaurants, so we will take you to the best places for an authentic African meal. In addition, if you're craving pizza, Indian take-out, or another cuisine, we know where you should go for that, too. And since we provide local transport, we'll get you there, too.
An Emergency Contact
We want you to come to Tanzania with confidence, not worries. As an extra measure of assurance, we provide you with an emergency phone with our pre-programmed number for emergency calls or texts.
Our Bigger Mission
As noted above, Kilimanjaro’s Wild Adventures is locally owned and operated, so your fees stay local and help the Moshi economy. In addition, Kilimanjaro Wild supports a local youth sports center, Kilimanjaro Wonders, by donating 10% of our revenues to provide opportunities to play competitive sports to local youth.

Guidance and Suggestions.
Coming to Tanzania will bring exciting adventure, but being in a new and unfamiliar place can also bring lots of questions and an understandable level of anxiety or nervousness. We want to ease these concerns by assuring you that:
When you have questions or requests, we will be there to provide answers and guidance, both while you are planning your trip and during your stay.
This includes recommendations for restaurants that speak English or another preferred language, and restaurant referrals based on types of food (African, American, European, Indian, and others), all available if you know where to go.

Our owners and guides have handled innumerable safaris and dozens of treks up Kilimanjaro. We not only know our way around, but we also know how to pick the best locations, attractions, and adventures for your time of year, interests, and fitness level.
While you will likely arrange your Tanzanian adventure around a grand outing like a safari or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, we have assembled a number of other adventures for day or half-day outings.

As your local host during your Tanzanian adventure, we want to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable visit. To help ensure this happens, we offer special benefits for our guests:
We provide our adventure guests with an emergency phone during their stay with a pre-programmed contact for Laurent Kinabo and other hosts to help you. This will ensure that, even if your personal cell phone dies or you cannot find our number, you will always have a way to reach us.
We have connections with the local hospital (Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC)), the local police, and other local emergency professionals. This will ensure that, should an emergency arise, we will be able to provide you the help and assistance that you need.
-
We invest in our community, with a special interest in helping our young people.
Our owners two years ago launched Kilimanjaro Wonders Sports Center (KWSC), a licensed youth sports center offering boys and girls with few to no resources the opportunity to play competitive football (soccer).
To help support these efforts, 10% of your Kilimanjaro Wild fees go to KWSC.
