I always dreamed of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and the team has been a great partner in fulfilling this dream. I chose the Machame Route because it's a little more challenging but offers a lot of beautiful scenery. The sunsets of Shira and walking through the mist of the Barranco Wall - all in one word, it was a wonderful experience. Guides and porters were always on hand; they handled everything from the pitch of the tent to the cooking of the food perfectly. I'm grateful to this team.
Take on Kilimanjaro on an eight-day trekking adventure. This is the most popular and direct of the mountain routes and the only one serviced by mountain huts to provide protection from the elements. With one guide for every two passengers and a team of porters, all you have to do is focus on the incredible views and keep your footing, while the crew keeps you safe and sound. Hike through forests and alpine meadows, over rocky ravines and past lunar landscapes to the spectacular summit of Africa's highest peak – the panoramic views from the top of Mt Kilimanjaro must be seen to be believed.

Setting out from the mountain’s western flank, the trek covers nearly every breathtaking angle of Kilimanjaro.

Embark on a 4-day Mount Meru climbing expedition in Tanzania, ascending one of Africa’s most beautiful volcanic mountains, rising to 4,566 meters above sea level. Less crowded than Kilimanjaro yet more technical in places, Mount Meru offers a rewarding challenge for adventurous trekkers.
The ascent is steep and varied, crossing streams and passing through open parkland, dense mountain forest, and high-altitude moorland before reaching a rugged volcanic landscape. The route demands more technical effort than most Kilimanjaro routes, making it an excellent climb for those seeking a tougher mountain experience.
Mount Meru is also unique for its wildlife encounters, with chances to spot giraffes, buffalo, antelope, and other animals along the lower slopes. The final ascent follows a narrow, exposed ridge to the summit, delivering dramatic views down into the ash cone far below and across to Mount Kilimanjaro rising in the distance.
Embark on a 5-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu Route, often known as the “Coca-Cola Route.” This is the only route offering overnight stays in mountain huts equipped with solar-powered lighting and is used by nearly half of all Kilimanjaro climbers.
The trek offers beautiful scenery, with each day passing through a different climate zone, from lush rainforest to alpine landscapes. The standout moment is summit day, when you walk from Gillman’s Point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing impressive glaciers and ice cliffs along the way.
On clear mornings, the views are exceptional, stretching across the Rift Valley, Mount Meru, and the Maasai Steppe. Join this classic route for a memorable ascent to Africa’s highest mountain.
