Trailblazer Guide Books

           TRAILBLAZER             Route guides for the     adventurous traveller

Welcome to Trailblazer

We believe in the joy of travel and we aim to provide readers with the inspiration to make their travelling experience enriching not only for themselves but also for the people whose community or country they are visiting.

We think travel should be more than lying on a beach or ticking off sights in a travel brochure; we also believe it should be more than following a herd of jaded backpackers from one backpacker dive to the next.

In our guides we try to give readers information that will help them interact positively with local people and the local environment.

Look at our booklist and be inspired!  You can buy the books direct from this website and from all good booksellers.

Kilimanjaro - The trekking guide to Africa's highest mountain

At 5895 metres (19,341ft) Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain.

Yet with no mountaineering skills necessary to reach the summit, even non-climbers can experience the thrill of climbing one of the world’s greatest peaks.

Taking you from the dusty plains of East Africa through jungle and moorland to the glacier-clad summit, this is one of the most beautiful and challenging treks there is.

New Website

We hope you like the new look of the website. There are still a few gremlins — if you find something that seems to be broken, please be patient, it will probably be fixed very soon. Or let the webmaster know.
