Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro

Climb the Roof of Africa on a fully supported private trek.

Africa's highest mountain (5,895 m) is a dormant volcano that can be climbed without technical skills, passing through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and arctic summit zones.

Longer routes give better acclimatisation and a higher chance of reaching the summit. Our crews follow strict park rules on porter loads and camp hygiene.

Kilimanjaro combines naturally with a safari afterwards — your legs will thank you for the rest.
