Tanzania is home to the best and most exciting trekking adventure of Africa, the fascinating Mount Kilimanjaro, rising to a height of 5,895 meters. The mountain is the tallest in the continent and is also known as the rooftop of Africa. This tour takes you along the Machame Route, arguably the most scenic route to the top fo the mountain. The trek starts in a dense rainforest, makes way through giant heather zoons, continues onto moorlands and finally culminates in highland deserts. As a result, you get to see a vast variety of sights and attractions, unique wildlife and exotic birds, and some of the most beautiful scenes on the planet.
Each night we will stay in mountain dome tents where you will enjoy meals prepared by our mountain camp chefs. You will be led by a local Tanzanian guide whose expertise and vast knowledge of the mountain you will notice as he explains fascinating details about the route, flora and fauna. He will also attend to the endless details that make a climb successful and will look out for your safety.
One day before your climb, you will meet and greet with your mountain guide from Kanuth Adventure Safari for a breefing about the climb.
