You can’t always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes, you have to dare to do it because life is too short to wonder what could have been.

IS THIS YOU?

Tell me:  Is your life a little too "clean" and boring for your liking?  Too stressful?  Feel like you're going nowhere quickly?  Do you crave adventure?  Got some stuff in your bucket list that you want to check off?

That was me in April of 2016.  I cured my ailment by coming to Africa and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.  You can, too.

Our

Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple:  Life is a safari.  It has its ups and downs.  Accept all of it, but don't waste another minute doing the same damn thing if you're not satisfied.  Come to Africa, get dirty, and find freedom!

Africa is a beautiful and mystical place.  When you come, you will leave your "normal" life behind you, at least temporarily, whether you like it or not. Turn off your cell phone (or at least the part that receives a signal) and use it only to take pictures and videos of your surroundings here in Tanzania.  Forget stress, unhappiness, illness, strife, politics, war, grief, or anything else that doesn't serve you.  FORGET COVID-19. Empty all negativity from your soul, leaving it wide open and prepared for the adventure that you are about to embark upon. You will need lots of room for the joy and fulfillment that is about to fill that space. 

Our philosophy is different from other companies in that we believe your journey doesn't start when you reach your park gate.  Rather, it starts the minute you sign up for your journey.  We will work with you to ensure that you get the most out of the time leading up to the climb so you can enjoy it to the fullest, both mentally and physically.  As you will read elsewhere, most of the effort to get you to the summit is mental, not physical.  Without the mental tenacity, even the strongest person can fail.  We want to help you build up that mental fortitude so that you can increase your odds of success, not only in summiting, but in what you take home with you from your experience afterwards.

We don't know what your "dirty freedom" will look like.  We can't even promise that you will summit, because high altitude is an equal opportunity discriminator.  But we do know that your life will never be the same after you return home from Africa.  And it will be for the better.

Finally, although your safety is our absolute highest priority, we want you to crave more.  The magic of Kilimanjaro and Meru don't lie in simply an athletic endeavor; it is a journey that will change your views--about yourself, others, and the world.  Not only will your life not be the same:  YOU won't be the same.  People will wonder what changed.  And they will want to have what you're having.

Send them to us.

Onward and upward!

The name "Dirty Freedom" is not a new concept, but it was new to me as I prepared for and climbed Kilimanjaro in September 2016.  Click the button below to learn about our story.
