Do you have what it takes to tackle the Highest Free-Standing Mountain in the World?
Since 2015, we've helped 98% of our adventurers SAFELY summit Kilimanjaro and we'd love to help you do the same. With sheer cliff faces, giant towering glaciers and endless panoramic views, Kilimanjaro is a trekkers holy grail. Reaching Kilimanjaro’s highest point is an extreme challenge. Battling multiple long days trekking, freezing conditions and high altitudes, trekkers must leave their comfort zones and push themselves to the limit.
There may be blisters and tears, but as you stand on top of the “Roof of Africa”, watching the sun rise over Africa’s endless savannahs, you’ll feel a sense of “Freedom”, at one with yourself and with nature, and the euphoria of success.
With challenging treks, stunning scenery and 5 different ecosystems, it is no wonder Kilimanjaro has been voted “Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction” for the past 3 consecutive years. Here's a sneak peak of what you can expect...
During this adventure, you will be trekking the Lemosho Route over 8 days to give you the best chance to acclimatise and reach the summit. More details can be found in the day by day itinerary.
A note about fitness:
Most people who can comfortably complete 1 hour of continuous, high-intensity exercise will be fit enough to trek Kilimanjaro. The track itself is not extremely difficult, what makes it challenging is when it is combined with high altitudes. If this track was at sea level, most people would comfortably finish it. Given you reach altitudes of almost 6,000m, no matter how fit you are, you will find this trek challenging and we highly recommend you physically and mentally prepare for this adventure - more in our info pack under training.
The far bigger challenge on Kilimanjaro is giving your body enough time to acclimatise so you can safely continue to ascend. This is where our team of high-altitude experts make a huge difference. We will push you to the absolute limit and our team will go above and beyond to reach your goal, we will not however risk your life to summit a mountain. That is why we monitor your key stats 2 - 3 times a day, we carry an emergency oxygen tank, we only offer 7 or more day treks and we have an absolute safety over summit policy.
Kilimanjaro will be one of the hardest but most rewarding experiences of your life. Take the first step to standing on the Roof of Africa by EXPRESSING INTEREST below.
The Masai Mara is Africa's premier safari destination and you’ll be living on the border of the National Park. This will give you the best chance to spot all of Africa’s exotic safari animals, including the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino & buffalo). You may even hear these animals as you relax around an open fire, eat dinner under the stars or from the safety of your safari tent. Here is a sneak peak at your tented safari camp.

NOTES:
Need more adventure? Why not add trekking with giant mountain gorillas!
Mountain gorillas live in forests at elevations of 2,000 - 4,000m. They have thicker fur than other great apes which helps them to survive in a habitat where temperatures often drop below freezing. There are approximately 1,000 of these fascinating creatures left in the world and Bwindi National Park in Uganda is home to about 400 of them. This 5 day adventure is your chance to trek with one of the most unique animals on the planet.
