I’m Vladimira, though most people call me Vivi. Originally from Eastern Europe and a traveler at heart, I fell in love with Tanzania when I first climbed Kilimanjaro. Since then, I’ve made it my mission together with Dickson to help
others experience this journey in a personal and unforgettable way.
I work hand-in-hand with Dickson and our trusted local team. We share the same values of safety, authenticity, and care. Together we ensure your adventure runs smoothly from start to finish.
At Kilimanjaro Climbing Club I will be your personal connection. From our first chat on WhatsApp or video call, I take the time to know you personally – you’re never just a number here. I care about every detail and support you from the moment you reach out until the moment you leave Tanzania.
Our Porters – The Heart of Your Kilimanjaro Experience
At Kilimanjaro Climbing Club, we recognize that our porters are the backbone of every successful climb. They carry your gear, set up camp, and ensure your journey is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
We treat our porters with respect and make sure they receive fair wages, good gear, and nutritious meals.
At Kilimanjaro Climbing Club, founder Dickson Lyimo believes that just as he guides climbers to the summit with passion, our porters are the heart and strength behind every successful journey, ensuring that each trek is safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable.
Many other tour companies unfortunately don’t share these principles. By choosing us, you’re helping to stop the exploitation of poor people.
