Highlights: Climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa!
Experience stunning panoramic views on one of the world’s most renowned treks when you join us on this iconic climb of Africa's tallest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro.
This trek takes you on the popular Marangu route, which uses comfortable trekking lodges for the overnight accommodation. You'll be climbing for six hard and breathless days to reach the summit, so its a strenous and challenging hike. We recommend you do plenty of training before undertaking this trek, but when you reach the summit the spectacular views out across the African landscape will make all the hard work and pain so worthwhile. Truly a once in a lifetime achievement!
The itinerary below adds an extra acclimatisation day into the standard route. This gives you more time on the mountain and a better chance of reaching the summit. Private departures are also available for any number of travellers on any date on this route and we also offer various different routes up the mountain as well. Please contact us for further details and ideas.
