As our mantra suggests, TrekkingHQ believes our staff are our number one priority. It's really simple, if we look after the welfare of our staff then they will look after our guests. A simply philosophy that resonates through our team and experienced by our guests. At TrekkingHQ we realise the importance of providing an ethical and responsible trekking service. As a result, TrekkingHQ has partnered with KPAP which stands for Kilimanjaro Porter Assistance Project, a non profit organisation founded in 2003 in conjunction with the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC), to ensure that we support Responsible Kilimanjaro Trekking. TrekkingHQ is one of a few certified KPAP member companies in Arusha.
