Climb to the roof of Africa and take on one of the world's most iconic trekking challenges, Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895 metres.
This extraordinary adventure takes you through five distinct vegetation zones, from lush rainforest to alpine desert and glaciers as you climb Africa’s highest mountain. You will trek the Machame Route, widely regarded as one of the most scenic and successful routes to the summit.
You will be supported throughout the journey by experienced local guides and a dedicated porter team, allowing you to focus on the challenge ahead.
This is not an easy trek. The trails are steep, the distances demanding and the altitude significant. However, the gradual acclimatisation approach of walking high and sleeping low greatly improves your chances of reaching the summit at Uhuru Peak (5,895m).
Standing at the top of Africa is a life-changing experience and one that few people will ever forget.
