Trek through a variety of landscapes
As the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain on the planet, Mount Kilimanjaro boasts breath-taking views. Surrounded by large stretches of dry Savannah, yet covered in lush forest on its lower slopes, Kilimanjaro possesses an array of unique traits.
While reaching the dormant volcano’s snow-capped peak may be a remarkable challenge, we can add ease to the climb by giving you more acclimatisation time during the expedition. Alongside professional guides and quality equipment of weatherproof, custom-made sleeping and dining tents, you will be taken through a thorough briefing before the trek begins in order to ensure your climb is both safe and awe-inspiring.
After trekking through varying landscapes, witness the spectacular sweeping sights as you reach the summit during this awesome lifetime experience. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro pairs beautifully with an adventure through more of the beautiful land that makes up Tanzania, such as exploring the lush tropical island of Zanzibar, or heading to the Serengeti National Park to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration.
Highlights

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an amazing accomplishment, no matter if you're a beginner or an experienced climber. Reaching Africa's roof and seeing the beautiful views at the top of the mountain gives you a sensation of fulfilment like no other. I'd highly recommend trekking Mount Kilimanjaro alongside visiting the Serengeti to see the wildlife this part of Tanzania has to offer.

When to Visit

However, temperatures can get below freezing and snow on the high passes is common. January to March are also good months to climb, as rainfall is moderate and temperatures are a little warmer.
