Caspar in the elements as a Lead Guide on Mount Kilimanjaro

Caspars Bio

Tanzania's mountains are my home. For the past 15 years, I've led countless treks as a lead guide with various Tanzanian trekking companies. With over 200 successful Kilimanjaro summits across all routes, I know these mountains like the back of my hand.

Safety is my top priority. I'm certified in emergency medicine and have extensive experience leading teams of up to 150 people, including porters, cooks, assistant guides, and support staff, ensuring every client reaches the summit safely. I have taken corporate groups, dignitaries, VIPs, and women only trekking groups of up to 40 trekkers at the same time.

​

Beyond the climb, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. On countless treks, I've provided expert advice on health, nutrition, altitude sickness, gear – everything you need to prepare for your unforgettable Kilimanjaro adventure.

​

Let me help you make your dream of conquering Kilimanjaro a reality!

Ahmeds Bio

Adventure is in my blood. I've summited Kilimanjaro three times, and spent countless days camping, hiking, biking, and trekking with groups of all skill levels during my many years hiking in Virginias Shenandoah Mountains including Old Rag and others.  I have also conquered the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim over 2 days, Mt. Washington, Whiteface Mountain, and many others on the East Coast. I am also a member of the American Mountain Guides Association.

​

But I also understand the pull of the everyday grind. My experience working for professional companies like Verizon, Deloitte, and Google opened my eyes to the need for escape – a chance to clear your head and reconnect with nature and reflect on the greatness of the Cosmos and the Earth.

​
