Mount Kilimanjaro Hike & Safari (Land Cost: $5,795) Includes Park Entrance Fees and All Suggested Tips.
($2,200 of the Land Cost Fee supports three children and adults with disabilities from a five State region to attend a special needs 6-day session during the summertime at Easter Seals Camp Kysoc and can be written off as a charitable donation, the remaining amount is the at cost fee necessary to operate the trip.)

Alpenglow Adventures is the very first in the world to offer hiking trail access to the summit of the 19,340 foot high Mount Kilimanjaro summit to anyone with a disability who cannot walk, or not walk very well, by using the Kili-kart and the Trailrider. Everyone is welcomed to join our trips. Over $2,200 from each African trip land cost fee of $5,795 is going to support three children and adults with disabilities to attend a six-day special needs session at Camp Kysoc during the summertime from a five State region.

We will ascend the Marunga Route that offers the only hut system on the mountain. We feel that no other route is easier, safer or offers a more comfortable or safer acclimatization ascent. We can evacuate a participant from the summit rim to the Park Entrance and to a hospital in 8 hours or less. Eight porters will do the transporting of each participant who needs assistance on the safest hiking trail on the mountain, clear to the summit. If the porters can get a participant to the summit by pushing and pulling them in the Trailrider and the Kili-kart, all accompanying trip participants should surely make it to the summit by hiking just as slowly.

Jim Ebert has personally guided over 250 people to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro since 1967 and he has taken over 580 people to Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. This was before the first American mountain guide services and before the first American Travel Adventure companies first started taking people to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, or on game safari, or to either Uganda or Kenya. No one has more mountaineering experience taking more people to more of the world’s most famous mountain summits in seventeen Alpine countries nor has anyone else offered a better African game safari than has Jim. Jim is a professional 16 mm movie photographer. He has shown his African wild-life adventure film of the earliest American mountain ascents of 14 mountains in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania including spectacular wildlife sequences from all of Uganda’s, Kenya’s and Tanzania’s National Parks and Game Reserves filmed while on game safari with his own groups while on 12 different trips to Africa. He has shown his African film to millions of people throughout North America for as many as 30 years.
