Food on our climbs

We have lost count of the climbers whose trips ended early because the food they ate made them sick. Great food is Essential... You will find it on all of our trips.


We love good food - it will make or break your trip!

Whether it's enjoying a traditional African dinner on the Serengeti… or eating the proper nutrition at high altitude, we love eating good food.

Our menus are designed to actually help our clients deal with eating at altitude… And everything tastes great too.

And because we are climbers first... we know how to eat at altitude. We understand how a body feels. We have 'done the research' for you -- and our advice in this department is invaluable. There is nothing worse than missing your summit shot because your food made you sick.

On the mountain... we eat like mountain climbers

On the mountain, our chefs work from high altitude specific menus that we have designed after years of testing. The food tastes great - and is easy to stomach at high camp.

Our mountain chefs use only the best FRESH ingredients. We feel it is essential to avoid the dehydrated soups and stale crackers that many other climbing groups eat every night. Fresh fruit and vegetables are served through our entire climb, and you will enjoy at least two hot meals a day, along with a sit down lunch at the side of the trail. Soups are hot and wholesome, filled with veggies. All of our chefs have trained in Arusha under the eye of our head chef Nzari before climbing with our clients. We are happy to accommodate any type of diet.

At our lodges and on Safari... we eat like foodies

From the fine  five star dining rooms at our have hand selected lodges, to our camp kitchens on Safari... Expect to be blown away by what our chefs prepare.

For dinner... it's mouth watering five course meals form locally grown ingredients. As you watch the sun set to the sounds of Africa, you can enjoy your Tanzanian coffee with homemade ice cream if you like.
