Founded in 2023 by Dismass Mariki and ASB Mauritius Limited, Dismass Kilimanjaro Experience (DKE) was born from a decade of passion, perseverance, and a deep-rooted love for Tanzania’s natural wonders. With over 18 years of hands-on guiding experience, Dismass has led thousands of climbers from around the globe to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro — transforming ordinary treks into life-changing journeys.
At DKE, our mission goes far beyond reaching Uhuru Peak. We believe that mountaineering and safari travel can break personal barriers, unlock new perspectives, and inspire a sense of deep achievement and wonder. Every trek is an opportunity to connect—with nature, with culture, and with oneself.
At the heart of DKE is Dismass Mariki — a respected Kilimanjaro expert often referred to as a “Mountain Guru” by those who’ve climbed with him. His exceptional knowledge of Kilimanjaro’s many routes, ecosystems, and hidden stories is matched only by his genuine care for people.
Dismass has guided guests from over 2,600 different backgrounds, with ages ranging from 7 to 87, and has supported groups as intimate as 2 climbers to teams of up to 72 people. Whether you’re trekking solo or with a cause-driven organization, Dismass has the skill, patience, and experience to make your climb both successful and meaningful.
From raising awareness for breast cancer, clean water initiatives, and Cystic Fibrosis, to mentoring first-time hikers and veteran climbers alike, Dismass approaches each expedition with purpose and integrity.
DKE is committed to responsible tourism and environmental stewardship. Our guides are trained not only to ensure your safety and success but also to protect and preserve the fragile ecosystems of Mount Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s national parks. Sustainability isn’t a side note — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Each climb or safari is an immersive experience, blending local culture, natural history, and environmental awareness. With a strong emphasis on community and conservation, we aim to leave every place better than we found it — and every traveler transformed.
Climbing mountains and experiencing safaris can be a transformative and life-changing experience that breaks down personal limitations and inspires a sense of achievement and wonder.
