Why Choose

Advisors

Genius Kilimanjaro Climbing

Genius Kilimanjaro has been 100% owned by Patrick Makere since 2015. Patrick used to be a porter and trained to be a mountain guide, working as a contractor for big outfitters. Building his own company that truly respects the porters' needs has always been his dream. It is not easy, it has to be done between climbs and in the low season. In 2022, Steven and Lisette climbed with Patrick and his team and were impressed with Patrick’s vision and drive to improve Porter Live. They are happy to support Patrick in further developing Genius Kilimanjaro as advisors and non-executive directors. They receive no reimbursements.

Our team (G-fighters)

You can’t climb Kilimanjaro without porters. We, the porters “the Genius Kilimanjaro Fighters” carry your gear while hiking Kilimanjaro. On a longer trek, expect a team of over 10 porters for just two climbers! Being a porter is a heavy job. We work with a mostly fixed team of porters, people we trust and care about. The G-Fighters give their best years, so Genius Kilimanjaro gives them the best in return. A team feeling, personal development, education, and a good salary. If you climb with Genius Kilimanjaro, you climb with a team of friends! Below you can read some of our life stories. At the mountain, we welcome you for a talk about your life, our life, and our shared passion for the beauty of nature and Africa. Karibu Sana!

Patrick was extremely helpful. Helped us from the time we landed in tanzania, showed us around. We are out of shape and his guide helped us and was really patient with us, we could clear the first summit to mandara huts (8km one way hike) because of them. I noted an almost immediate resolution of my queries and doubts. Overall fantastic . Will return for full week total mountin summit next time. Keep up the good work.
