After working as a porter for many years, George Mtaki decided to make it his priority to establish a company that would treat porters fairly and respectfully. with this in mind, we had to establish a demonstration company “ Kilimanjaro Brothers” that will treat well our porters and guides and better care for our clients. We know how hard porters work to make your trips safe and enjoyable. We take care of our crew and allows other companies to learn best practices.
