Our Kilimanjaro Guides

I am 29 years old and have been climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro since 1996.
After finishing primary school I couldn’t afford to continue with my secondary education because my parents didn’t have enough money to support my education and as a village native it was very hard to get opportunity for further education.
I started climbing mountain as a way of earning extra cash from his village, As a native of Mount Kilimanjaro region we had few options of what to do, it was either becoming a farmer or building mud houses for food.
A friend of mine introduces me to Mt. Kilimanjaro and started as a porter in 1996.
I worked as a porter for four years and then was recruited by Kilimanjaro National park Authority and sponsored by the Government through Ministry of Tourism and Natural resources to join a course in Mountain Guiding.
After an intensive course I was awarded by a Mountain guiding license, which enabled me to guide in all routes to Kilimanjaro.
From 2000 I started working as a Head guide; I had successfully lead groups of Tourists to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro for more than 206 times. I attended several courses in First Aid and Outdoor Leadership. Kilimanjaro has given me a lot and am always happy to assist or guide people to the top Africa.
I am a hard working individual and can work under heavy stress; I am well motivated and looking forward to new challenges. I enjoy company of other like to meet new people and exchanging ideas and sharing experiences.
I believe Kilimanjaro is always a challenge to anyone including myself and it’s always a pleasure to share that with new and energetic people all the time.
If given a chance I will be cooperative and committed to my job and provide the best experience to our esteemed clients.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
Deogratius Francis.
