    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

    You will be able to stand on the roof of Africa, watching the sun rise in the sky.

    After your climb you can explore the northern section of the Serengeti on safari, tracking the great array of game and wildlife that this vast area offers.

    Retire to a luxury safari lodge in the  Singita Grumeti where you can experience absolute privacy.

    Combine your climb with a trip to Zanzibar, where you can experience a mix of culture and landscape with pristine beaches and crystal clear waters.

    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

    The best time of the year to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is July to October, due to the little amount of rainfall making the climb more comfortable. 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.
