Mountain Climbing

Conquer the Roof of Africa

Overview

Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world and one of the Seven Summits. Climbing this dormant volcano is a bucket-list adventure that takes you through five distinct climate zones, from rainforest to arctic ice. For those seeking a shorter but equally rewarding challenge, Mount Meru offers stunning views and excellent acclimatization opportunities.

What to Expect

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a multi-day trek (typically 5-9 days) that requires physical endurance and mental fortitude. You will sleep in tents (or huts on the Marangu route) and be supported by a team of porters and cooks. The final ascent to the summit usually begins at midnight to reach the peak by sunrise.
