Tanzania is the African wilderness we all imagine. The endless plains, still and peaceful as can be, until the low drumroll of hoof on ground grows louder, and a herd of wildebeest surge onto the scene, performing the next act of their Great Migration. Here, you are a spectator in the theatre of life in one of the most vibrant auditoriums of the natural world.
All metaphors aside, it is no secret that Tanzania is home to some of the most spectacular natural scenery on the planet. From the fascinating crowds of zebras, giraffes, elephants and more, to the imposing beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro, the cup of nature is overflowing and waiting to be drunk by the hand of adventure. (Ok, maybe we weren’t quite done with the metaphors.)
Indeed, Tanzania is a veritable hotbed if adventure travel. Climb to the summit of the highest peak in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest freestanding mountain and an icon of adventure. Along the way, you will pass through jungle, plains, alpine desert and snowy passes, glimpsing Colobus monkeys, or perhaps meeting passing Maasai tribespeople.
That’s another thing that Tanzania is famous for – it’s people. The culture here is warm, friendly and open; you will be welcomed with open arms whether navigating the markets of Moshi or dancing with your guides on the way up Kili. Tanzania is a must on any bucket list, and – with our MD having climbed Kili eleven times and counting – we are the people to take you!

This is by far the best experience I will ever have. If it wasn’t for Keith and his bucket list company, I would be sitting here saying “I wonder whatit’ss like to stand on the roof of Africa. Instead, I’m telling my children how daddy climbed a mountain.

“2013 was the year I decided that I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro. It was going to be the trip of a lifetime, and I wanted to make sure I chose the right company to help me achieve my goal.
I’d had several recommendations from friends, so I contacted Keith and his team. From that moment to my first step on the summit, I could not have asked for a better company to have made my dream come true. Keith and his team provided the highest attention to detail, and there was always someone to pick up the phone during the run up to the trip to answer any questions I had – no matter how silly!
During the expedition, Keith was with us every step of the way, offering encouragement and support through some of the toughest hours of my life! I could not recommend The Bucket List Company enough on my return. Unfortunately, this did not work out so well for me, because in 2015 my sister decided she wanted to undertake the same challenge… with me!
So in September 2015 I summited Africa’s highest peak for the second time – a proud moment. Again, we were supported by The Bucket List Company.
My sister and I are planning more adventures over the next few years, and the flexible payment options that The Bucket List Company offer mean we can turn those dreams into some more fantastic memories to add to our collection. I would never consider another company to organise my expeditions now, and I would happily put my life in their hands. I cannot thank them enough for opening up a world of possibility.”

Wow… what can I say? This was one of the hardest but most enjoyable trips of my life. The Bucket List Company were a pleasure to deal with from the word go, and the support Keith offered on the trip was just amazing, backed up by Whitey and his merry band of porters.
Booking with The Bucket List Company was easy – the only thing you have to think about is packing and turning up, they organise everything, leaving you to enjoy your trip without the hassle.
I cannot thank The Bucket List Company enough, and look forward to booking my next adventure to Peru shortly.

Fantastic trip to Kilimanjaro with the Bucket List company. It was a thoroughly professional and well thought out travel experience, that attracts an eclectic group of like minded individuals. They take all of the complexity of travel out of your hands to enable you to truly focus on the challenge you are undertaking. Great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

“Kilimanjaro has always been high up on my bucket list, and when I saw that The Bucket List Company were running another trip, I knew it was time to get myself booked on.
Keith and his team were always at the end of the phone to answer questions and Keith’s Guide to Kilimanjaro just answered all of my queries. I attended the pre-expedition training weekend, which enabled me to meet the other people I would be travelling with. It also gave me chance to meet Keith and the Bucket List team and put faces to names. The training weekends are certainly a must.
On the expedition, Keith was very aware of his whole group’s needs and made sure everyone was coping well. The team’s in-country guides and porters were also amazing. They cooked for and looked after us amazingly. Summiting Kilimanjaro was a dream of mine and the Bucket List Company made that a reality. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with The Bucket List Company, and would urge anyone considering a trip to just book and start training!”

I have just returned from the most epic trip to Kilimanjaro organised by The bucket list company. They are there to answer any questions before you travel and a representative is with you and your group every step of the way.
We enjoyed the hustle of the local markets, the 6 day trek to the summit, and finally a visit to a local school. We had an amazing group of trekkers, we laughed, cried and sang together and got each other through. If your thinking of booking a life changing adventure with like minded people then your with the right company 😊.
