Overview
Lava Expeditions is run by mountain people for people who enjoy the mountains. Through experience gained from many expeditions Lava Expeditions is able to offer clients a safe and unique mountain experience in Africa, Asia and Europe. Lava Expeditions was started in 2003 offering treks on Kilimanjaro but it has since grown to offer treks and technical climbs on many mountains spread over three continents.
Safety for their clients and members of staff is of key importance on all expeditions. All guides are trained in first aid at altitude; they have many years of mountain experience and a vast knowledge of the environments in which they work. Short wave radios are carried for communication on the mountain while a member of staff always carries a satellite phone for communication with the outside world. All climbing and safety critical equipment is sourced from Europe and is replaced on a regular basis.
Lava Expeditions understands that the environments in which they operate are among some of the most delicate on the planet. Each mountain has its own unique eco system and through the continual training of staff they are able to understand and lessen the ecological footprint on the environments in which they operate.
Where possible Lave Expeditions makes sure that their mountain staff are supplied with the correct protective clothing for the environment they will be operating in. All permanent staff have access to health care and education through Lava Expeditions and the good working relationship they have with the local staff is passed on to their clients through the service they receive while on any of their expeditions.
The overall ethos at Lava Expeditions is to support the local populations and environments through training and to offer their clients safe and affordable adventures at altitude.
