Trek & Hide Adventures is dedicated to engaging, empowering, and fairly compensating local guides, cooks and porters. Our mission revolves around uplifting the individuals who accompany you on your journey to the summit. In Tanzania, a country among the world’s poorest, the average annual income per person is merely $700. Guides and porters often fall among the most underpaid workers in our society. While many trekking operators exploit this situation by offering minimal wages, we are committed to mutual empowerment. Rest assured, we allocate at least double the average local salary from the fees you pay us, without increasing costs for you. Allow us to lead you to the Roof of Africa while also contributing to the well-being of those in need.
