The Year That Will Change Your Life Forever
Welcome to the Outdoorer Blueprint 2025, an eight-month hiking and mountaineering journey that will transform your outlook on life and remind you of your untapped power within. Combining the structured approach of the Rookie to Advanced Hiker Program, the intensity of the Mount Kenya Crash Program, and the grandeur of the Roadmap to Kilimanjaro, this program is for you if you are ready to take control of your narrative and embark on a challenge you will remember for years to come.
Whether you're a complete beginner, a busy professional looking to reconnect with yourself and expand your networks, or just another person seeking to overcome life's hurdles and start over, the Outdoorer Blueprint is your path to self-discovery and triumph. With every climb, every breath at high altitude, and every moment of triumph on the trails, you will unlock the strongest, most resilient version of yourself.
Step Into a New Year. Step Into a New You.
We get it: life’s big tasks and the silent mountains of self-doubt, stress, and stagnation can clutter our lives. The Outdoorer Blueprint is your first step to decluttering your life–inside and out. It’s more than a hiking program; it’s a journey that will teach you to conquer both the physical peaks and the intangible mountains in your everyday life.
Why the Outdoorer Blueprint?
- Progress You Can See and Feel: From your first hike on beginner trails of Kilimambogo and Ngong Hills to standing on top of Africa in 8 months, you’ll witness your growth in stamina, strength, and self-belief.
- A Community of Dreamers and Doers: Share the trail with people who, like you, are on a mission to redefine their limits. Guided by our expert hands, you’ll create memories and connections and embrace triumphs like never before.
- Tools for Life: The confidence, resilience, and discipline you gain on the mountains will ripple into every part of your life—career, relationships, and personal goals. You will not only unlock your mountain, but also rise to the top of all your life’s mountains.
The Journey: A Step-by-Step Transformation
Introduction to Hiking
- 3 beginner hikes
Master the High Altitudes
- 7 high-altitude hikes
Build Endurance

Bag the Peaks

Before and during the course of the program, we will combine the hiking activities with progressive virtual sessions, group discussions in a WhatsApp forum, and interactive remedial physical sessions for a holistic approach.
Phase 1
Learn to Hike (Jan-Mar)
An unshakable house starts with an unshakable foundation, and the first phase is where transformation begins. Tailored for beginners, your first three months in the Outdoorer Blueprint focus on building foundational hiking skills, fitness, and a sense of camaraderie through the time-tested Rookie Program.
- Find your rhythm and fall in love with the trails at Kilimambogo and Ngong Hills.
- Tackle steeper climbs like Mount Longonot and Elephant Hill, experiencing the thrill of high-altitude hiking for the first time.
- Catch a glimpse of the big mountains at the Teleki Valley Mackinders Quest and end with the breathtaking Dragon’s Teeth Hike, where you’ll celebrate your growth as a confident hiker.
Phase 2
Climb Mt. Kenya (May-Jun)
Having laid a solid foundation, the next stop, as you build strength and endurance, is completing a monumental challenge: attempting to scale Mount Kenya. This second phase will push you physically and mentally, preparing you for the adventure ahead.
- Practice high-altitude endurance on Mount Kipipiri and achieve altitude acclimatization on Table Mountain.
- Next, embark on a 4-day expedition up Mount Kenya’s Sirimon Route, aiming for Point Lenana.
Phase 3
Climb Kilimanjaro (Jul-Aug)
The grand finale of the Outdoorer Blueprint is a personal revolution. From your early days as a novice hiker to conquering yourself on Mount Kenya within a few months, this last phase prepares you for the ultimate goal: climbing to the Roof of Africa.
- The two advanced high-altitude trails of Mount Kinangop and Satima Wandare will give you a last kick of endurance in preparation for the high-altitude demands of Kilimanjaro.
- The 6-day expedition on the Kilimanjaro Marangu Route will test your grit, endurance, and determination, and with each step, you’ll inch closer to the Roof of Africa.
As you ascend Kilimanjaro, you’ll look back at how far you’ve come—not just on this trail and the Outdoorer Blueprint, but in life. And by the time you descend Kilimanjaro, we hope you’ll have done more than conquer mountains. We hope you’ll have discovered strength, resilience, and clarity that will stay with you long after this last climb.
