About this experience

Tanzania is home to Africa's highest mountain — and climbing it is one of the most rewarding challenges you'll ever take on. But Kilimanjaro isn't the only option. Mount Meru, Africa's fifth-highest peak, offers an equally stunning climb with far fewer crowds.

Our mountain climbing experiences are led by KINAPA-certified guides who prioritise your safety and enjoyment. With proper acclimatisation, good equipment, and encouraging support, we'll help you reach the top.

What you'll experience

Kilimanjaro offers four well-established routes: Marangu (5–6 days, hut-based), Machame (6–7 days, most scenic), Lemosho (7–8 days, best acclimatization) and Rongai (6–7 days, quiet, north approach). We match the route to your fitness, schedule, and season.
Sleeping bags rated to -18°C, four-season tents, dining and mess tents, oxygen tanks, pulse oximeters, cooking gear, tables, and chairs — everything except personal clothing is included. Boots, down jackets, and trekking poles can be rented on request.
Longer routes (7+ days) follow the "climb high, sleep low" principle with built-in acclimatization days. Daily oxygen-saturation checks with pulse oximeters catch altitude issues early. Our summit-success rate on Lemosho and Machame is above 90%.
Every trekker who reaches Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) or Stella Point (5,756 m) receives the official Kilimanjaro National Park certificate — signed, stamped, and dated on the mountain. A keepsake for a lifetime achievement.
