Machame Route
A varied trail known for striking landscapes and a camping experience.
The roof of Africa
Meet the mountain.
A Kilimanjaro trek moves through changing landscapes, from forest to alpine terrain, on the way to an unforgettable summit.
The experience
Every step tells a story.
Mount Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 metres, the highest point in Africa. The journey is as memorable as the summit: mornings on the trail, wide skies, cool high-altitude air and the steady progress of your group.
Route choice, pace, acclimatisation and preparation all matter. We can discuss your travel dates, fitness and expectations before suggesting the next steps for your climb.
