About Team Toubkal
Team Toubkal began in 2023 as a sister company of Team Kilimanjaro. Team Kilimanjaro has assisted more than 12,000 trekkers over 20 years to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Our founder John, decided to bring his expertise to Toubkal after hearing from a past TK climber that they were not able to summit Toubkal when they booked with a local operator, due to poor acclimatisation.
We often get asked by past climbers ‘What's next?’ Or by climbers wanting to prepare for their Kilimanjaro climb ‘what can they do now to prepare?’ Now we have options for our climbers whilst providing them the best service available.
John, Founder
John has led various expeditions throughout the world. Complementary to his role with TK he served as a mountain safety consultant to Kilimanjaro National Park and was responsible for determining the cause of the tragic accident of 4th January 2006 which resulted in the Western Breach assault route being closed.
He holds the verified British speed record for Kilimanjaro, has created a completely new route on the north side of Kilimanjaro that ascends the Credner Glacier and traverses the Crater, and has advised the National Parks authorities on environmental impact reduction.
