My name is Elly Thomas Kimaro; an experienced Mount Kilimanjaro Local Tour Guide and Managing director of Kilimanjaro Lifetime Adventures and Safaris.
I was born and raised in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro and I spend my lifetime guiding hikers on Mount Kilimanjaro. I studied wildlife management and mountain guiding. My environmental interest along with my love of life and my curiosity for meeting people from all over the world led me to become both a Safari and a Mountain Guide. I have climbed Kilimanjaro as a chief guide more than 100 times. I have participated in an equal number of walking and camping safaris at national parks in East Africa. My vision was to create a company that would combine my respect for nature with traveling and creating work opportunities for the local people. In 2022 Kilimanjaro Lifetime Adventures has built a knowledgeable and experienced working team, leading groups from all over the world.
