“High on a mountain it immediately becomes clear whether you reinforce each other or whether you get in each other’s way. In the end, it’s all about the common interest, just like in a company.’

(Katja Staartjes, the first Dutch woman to climb Mount Everest in 1999)

Climbing Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain in Africa, 5895 meters) with your team, in combination with inspiring training, team formations and coaching, all in the context of team development. This is the experience of a lifetime and an ultimate learning experience when it comes to leadership and teamwork.

There are uncertainties and setbacks during the climb of Kilimanjaro and also during major changes in your company even guaranteed. Climbing a mountain is like a project, with a head and a tail. You work together intensively for a period of time and you have to achieve the intended result in a short time.

Are you able to remain positive under pressure and to boost each other and to continue working together?

And how do you push your limits without going over them?

What do you want to achieve together?

Can you discuss with each other what it is really about, even if it is very difficult for a while?

Is everyone willing to take on the tedious and heavy jobs?

Will you walk through fire for each other?

Do you dare and can you confront each other? “Not to emphasize differences, but to bridge and utilize them. And so to move forward together. That’s team development”

The Marangu route is the shortest and most chosen route. The only route with accommodation in mountain huts instead of tents. This route has very large elevation gains per day, so it is important that you are fit (this means that you should be able to run about 5 kilometers).
