Guides you can trust
When you’re scaling one of the Seven Summits, you need to trust your Kilimanjaro guide’s training.
That’s why African Scenery goes further than other companies: all mountain guides are certified by internationally-recognized Sentinel Outdoor Institute (SOI) as Wilderness First Responders. That’s more than an in-house training program: it’s the highest level of guide training on Kilimanjaro.
African Scenery certifies ALL guides, pairing trekkers with the mountain’s most-capable personnel at all times.
