If you've been dreaming of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro but don’t want to do it alone—or you're trying to avoid the high costs of a private trek—then joining a small group Kilimanjaro climb might be the perfect solution for you. Small group treks offer the ideal balance of affordability, support, and camaraderie, giving you the opportunity to summit Africa’s tallest mountain while making unforgettable connections along the way.
At Lindo Travel & Tours, we specialize in organizing high-quality small group departures for climbers from around the world. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or part of a group of friends, our scheduled departures are open to everyone looking for an amazing shared experience on the mountain. We keep our group sizes intimate and manageable, with no more than 12 climbers per group, so you’ll never feel lost in the crowd.
Joining a small group trek means you get to enjoy the company of fellow adventurers while still receiving individual attention from our professional guides and crew. You'll meet people from different walks of life, share stories over meals, encourage each other through the tough spots, and celebrate summit success as a team. It’s not uncommon for lifelong friendships to be born on these climbs.
From a cost perspective, small group climbs are also more affordable. By sharing resources such as guides, porters, chefs, and equipment transport, you significantly reduce your overall climbing expenses without compromising on comfort or safety. And because our groups are small, you won’t deal with the delays and logistical headaches that sometimes come with large commercial trekking operations.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Lindo Travel is that we offer multiple confirmed departure dates throughout the year. We understand that every traveler has their own schedule, so we’ve created a flexible calendar of climbs that covers the best trekking seasons on Mount Kilimanjaro—especially during the dry months when summit conditions are at their best.

Whether you're looking to climb in January, July, September, or December—we’ve got departures running throughout the year, and we’re always adding new ones based on client demand.
While we offer group climbs on several Kilimanjaro routes, the most popular option for small group trekkers is the 7 Days Machame Route, also known as the “Whiskey Route.” This route is famous for its stunning scenery, gradual acclimatization profile, and higher success rates. From misty rainforests to alpine deserts and glacial zones, every day brings a new and unforgettable landscape.
Lemosho Route – perfect for those who want a longer, quieter trek
Marangu Route – the only route with hut accommodation
Rongai Route – great for those who prefer a drier, less crowded route from the north
Each route is led by experienced mountain guides, supported by a full team of porters and chefs who are trained to ensure your comfort, safety, and success.
When you join one of our group departures, you’ll receive a full package that covers everything you need for a successful Kilimanjaro climb. Our small group packages include:
Over the years, we’ve guided hundreds of climbers to Uhuru Peak, and many of them have joined as complete strangers only to descend as family. Here’s what some of our past small group climbers had to say:
“As a solo traveler, joining a group made everything easier. The team was amazing, the group felt like a tribe, and reaching the summit together was something I’ll never forget.”
– Anna R., Germany
“We chose Lindo because of the small group size and local reputation. Best decision we made. Every day was organized, the food was incredible, and the guides were absolute pros.”
– James & Lara, UK
