Do you want to make Kilimanjaro Trek More than a challenge? Tanzania Pursuit Adventures provide Ironman & Ironwoman Packages.

Climbing the Magnificent Mountain Kilimanjaro is quite a challenge to most people but if you want to make it more harder and if you don't want to be surrounded by group of crew members, Then Tanzania Pursuit Adventures got something that will cover your desire,

We offer Ironman & Ironwoman climbs where you have to trek from the entrance to the summit with just a guide, The second thing to say is that the park authorities, KINAPA, insist that all treks are led by a minimum of two guides. They also demand that there must one guide for every two trekkers on every trek. So your trek must always have at least one guide on it. There won't be any porters or cooks to assist you, Ironman & Ironwoman treks require you to be self-reliant throughout the entire journey since you will have to shoulder the responsibility of carrying all your essential equipment, including tents and food. Additionally, at the conclusion of each day's trek, you will be expected to undertake the extra tasks that are necessary, However, the sense of accomplishment and the breathtaking views awaiting you make it all worthwhile. So, if you are up for a unique and demanding experience, the Ironman trek is perfect for you.

The extra work involved at the end of each day’s trek are;

• At the end of each day’s walking, you need to put up your own tent. There are no porters to help you.

• You need to fetch water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Again, there will be no porters to help you.

• You will be responsible for preparing your own meals each day. They will be no chef to help you.

• You will need to clean the cutlery, crockery, pots and pans each day.

• In the morning, after breakfast, you need to help break camp, pack everything, including litter, and make sure the campsite is spotless for those coming after you.

• You will carry your own clothing, equipment, camping gear, cooking gear and water. Your guides are responsible for carrying his stuff, but you will need to carry yours.

In order to keep the weight down, we equip Ironman treks with dehydrated food. This also means, of course, that you don’t need a cook. After all, you don’t really need a chef if you’re just adding hot water to desiccated meals.

As for porters, well it’s possible to climb without them. And on an Ironman climb, that is exactly what you’ll have: none.

But if you are worried that climbing up to 5895m while carrying around 15kg, well then hiring a porter or two to help share the load is a good idea.

Also we recommend an Ironman trek only for seasoned, experienced trekkers. You also need to have a lot of experience of surviving at high altitude.

Does it sound too hardcore? Well the best thing is Tanzania Pursuit offers also Hybrid climbs whereby you have to decide the size of the crew and how much help you will need us to provide.

How much does it cost an Ironman Trek on Kilimanjaro ?

We should clarify that choosing an Ironman trek solely for the purpose of saving money may not be a wise decision. While an Ironman trek is generally cheaper due to the absence of a large crew expense, the savings might not be as substantial as expected. It is important to note that even though we pay competitive wages to our porters, their salaries do not contribute significantly to the overall cost. On the other hand, park fees remain consistent regardless of the type of trek you choose. Additionally, transportation to and from the mountain, food expenses, gas, the wages of accompanying guides, and administrative costs/insurance all contribute to the overall expenses. Therefore, taking into consideration these factors, it is crucial to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an Ironman trek before making a decision.
