Thanks to the tour operator flexibility, we actually did a 12-day tour of Kenya and Tanzania and it was fabulous. Our two guides, Brian and Elly, were fun, friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. We shared a lot of laughs and developed a strong bond in our short time together, and we saw every animal we'd hoped to see (plus some) thanks to them. Customer service was excellent. They responded to emails in a timely manner, changed the schedule around a bit so that we could fly into and out of Nairobi, booked a hotel for the night we arrived without even being asked, and upgraded our accommodations.

Mt Kilimanjaro Summit Climb (Machame Route) - 8 days

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Are you ready to conquer Africa’s highest summit? The 8-Day Mt Kilimanjaro Summit Climb (Machame Route) is tailor-made for adventurous travelers with a passion for pushing their limits. Known as the 'Whiskey' route, Machame is favored by trekkers seeking a physically demanding but highly rewarding ascent. Over eight days, you will traverse diverse landscapes—from lush rainforest and moorland to the stark alpine desert—each offering its own set of breathtaking vistas and challenges. The journey begins with an approach from Kilimanjaro’s southwest, ascending through rich vegetation before opening onto the expansive Shira Plateau. The path is steeper and the days longer than on the Marangu route, ensuring the trek rewards those with some prior hiking or backpacking experience. High elevation and shifting terrain test both endurance and determination, making every step towards the summit a true accomplishment. A highlight of this tour package is the descent via the scenic Mweka route, offering climbers new perspectives of the mountain’s varied habitats. Along the way, you’ll witness dramatic transitions in flora and fauna, with each camp bringing you closer to the ultimate goal: Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa. What makes this trip unique is its combination of challenging adventure and awe-inspiring scenery—ideal for those who crave both physical achievement and natural beauty. Join fellow climbers on this unforgettable journey, and experience firsthand why Machame is considered one of the mountain’s most spectacular routes.

Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek (Rongai Route) - 8 days

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Venture off the well-trodden path with the 8 Day Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek via the Rongai Route, a unique journey that approaches Africa’s tallest peak from its remote northeastern flank bordering Kenya. This route, prized for its sense of unspoiled wilderness, offers trekkers a rare perspective of Kilimanjaro. While the Rongai ascent doesn’t allow for the typical ‘climb high, sleep low’ principle (making an extra acclimatization day advisable), it rewards with solitude and stunning vistas. The trek culminates on the classic Kibo summit path to Gilman’s Point before descending via the Marangu Route. This tour is ideal for hikers seeking a quieter, distinctive Kilimanjaro experience and for those eager to witness diverse landscapes and wildlife. Its USP: The Rongai Route’s tranquil trails, allowing for a more intimate connection with the mountain’s raw beauty.
