Ringo
Expeditions is unique. Rather than a company of business
people, Ringo Expeditions is a guide's company. It exists
for the profit of the guides and porters who will take you
to the top of the mountain - not for those sitting at sea
level in an office. Ringo
Expeditions promises you a great trip up the mountain (read
our client testimonials)
and fair treatment to our employees. Allow
us to share more about our mission with you:
|
|
To
maximize the chance of success and safety of our clients
through our years of experience

Ringo Expeditions is wholly owned and operated by me, Adam Ringo. I've been leading Kili climbs for over 5 years and climb the mountain at least 20 times per year. My co-guides and porters are similarly experienced with Kilimanjaro. Climbing Kilimanjaro is no small feat but certainly achievable and our experience allows us to mimimize the risks and maximize your change of success. Let us guard your health and safety as we take you to the peak. |

offer top-notch service in the way we care for our clients

You
cannot reach the 'roof of Africa' without proper nourishment.
Your dedicated cook will ensure you are continually fed a high-calorie
diet prepared right on the mountain. You can look forward to warm
soup and popcorn awaiting you at the day's end and multi-course
meals that will surely make you wonder how we can do this on the
mountain!

To
ensure our prices are always competitive with other local
operators
|
|
|
We
know the price of your trip is important. We also want to share
the wonder that is Kilimanjaro. To that end, we aspire to price
our trips in-line with other local operators. In other words,
you don't need to worry about if you're getting the best deal
when you climb with Ringo Expeditions.

Ringo
Expeditions exists to uplift the people that will take you to
the top. Tanzania is the 7th poorest nation in the world with
a per capita annual income of only 700 USD.
|
|
| Guides and porters are some of the least paid workers in our society. Many other trekking operators take advantage of this and pay their guides and porters very minimal wages (as little as 2 USD per day). We however exist to empower each other. Trust that we pay at least twice the average local salary from the fees you pay us without charging you more. Let us take you to the top and at the same time feel great about providing for those in need. |
