Kilimanjaro trekking
Stand on Africa's highest peak at 5,895 metres, on a journey through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and the snow-covered summit of Uhuru Peak.
Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain, standing at 5,895 metres (19,341 feet) above sea level. Located in northern Tanzania, it is famously known as the Roof of Africa and offers an unforgettable trek through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and on to the snow-covered summit of Uhuru Peak.
From rainforest trails to alpine deserts, Kilimanjaro takes you through multiple climates and landscapes. You don't need mountaineering experience, but you do need good fitness, the right gear and time to adjust to the altitude.
Celebrate your summit the classic Tanzanian way, with a safari in the Serengeti or a few days on the beach in Zanzibar.
The Whisky Route
One of the most scenic and popular ways to the top, through lush rainforest, dramatic moorland and volcanic landscapes. Physically challenging but highly rewarding, with excellent acclimatisation as you "climb high, sleep low".
Scenic and beautiful
Widely considered one of the most beautiful routes, starting in rainforest on the western side of the mountain. The longer itinerary gives you more time to adjust to the altitude and a well-paced, less crowded climb.
The northern route
A peaceful way up from the northern side of the mountain, with quieter trails and a gradual ascent through wilderness, moorland and volcanic scenery. A great choice for trekkers who want to escape the busier routes.
We can also arrange the Marangu Route, the only route with mountain-hut accommodation, and the Northern Circuit, the longest route. Ask us for details.

It depends on you. Lemosho offers the best mix of scenery and acclimatisation, Machame is the classic scenic route, and Rongai is the quietest. Tell us about your fitness and experience and we will advise you.
It is not a technical climb, but it is physically demanding and altitude is the real challenge. More days on the mountain gives your body more time to adjust, which improves your chance of reaching the summit.
January to March and June to October are generally the best periods, with the most stable weather.
Let us help you plan your unforgettable Kilimanjaro journey, and add a safari or Zanzibar afterwards.
