Trek Mt. Kilimanjaro

At 5,895 meters/19,340 feet, Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free standing mountain in the world. The mountain lies within Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. What is so amazing about that is it’s one of the few places on earth that hosts every ecological life zone — tropical jungle, savannah, desert, and various plants and forest life.

There are many routes up Kilimanjaro — it is up to you to decide which route best fits your needs. We are happy to guide you in this decision, make a recommendation, or answer any questions you have along the way. 

At times, certain routes are closed — usually due to the weather — but if this happens, we can suggest an alternate route.

  • Marangu Route (popularly known as the Coca Cola Route) is one of the easier routes.
  • Machame Route (popularly known as the Whiskey Route) is a mid-range to hard route.
  • Rongai Route is an easy route as there are no steep areas. You’ll descend via Marangu Route.
  • Umbwe Route is a very steep and difficult route. You’ll descend via Mweka Route.
  • Lemosho Route is steep after the second day. You’ll descend via Mweka Route. 
  • The Northern Circuit Trail starts from either Machame, Umbwe, or Lemosho Route. The climb traverses to the northwest from Moir Hut and then proceeds east. You’ll summit the peak from Kibo or School Hut. You’ll descend via Mweka Route. The steepness varies from day to day. It’s the best acclimatization route.
  • Shira Route is a difficult route.

Take a Safari

Tanzania’s game viewing is one of the best in Africa. Endless herds of wildebeest and zebra cross the plains on their annual migration. Predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas follow in their trails. Giraffes, rhino, elephant, and many different birds also live in the parks.

Many parks in Tanzania are geographically close to each other. Therefore, we are able to offer several trips that include two, three, or even four parks. The animals that you see will depend on the time of year you visit.
