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 6-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.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on this scenic 7-day Lemosho Route, approaching the mountain from the remote western side along a lightly used trail. Widely regarded by experienced guides and past trekkers as one of the most beautiful—and most rewarding—routes, Lemosho offers a true sense of wilderness from the very first day. The trail crosses the expansive Shira Plateau, skirts the ancient Shira volcanic caldera, and traverses beneath Kibo’s dramatic southern ice fields.
Thanks to its gradual ascent profile, the route allows excellent acclimatization and plenty of time to enjoy the changing landscapes before joining other routes later in the climb. This itinerary also includes a rare overnight camp at the crater, adding an unforgettable highlight to the journey. The final summit push follows the Barafu Route, known for its striking views of Kibo as you climb toward the roof of Africa.

Embark on a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Rongai Route, approaching the mountain from the north near the Kenya–Tanzania border. This lesser-used route remained largely untouched for many years due to its sensitive location, making it one of the quietest approaches to the summit.
Now fully open for trekking, the Rongai Route is considered by experienced guides to be easier than the popular Marangu Trail, with a high summit success rate and scenic, gradual ascent. The trek begins through cultivated farmland and forest, offering occasional wildlife sightings, before continuing through multiple climate zones on the way to Africa’s highest peak.

I have climbed so many mountains but Kilimanjaro trip was the best.
We were a private group consisting of my wife, kids and i, and we felt incredibly safe and supported throughout the trek, especially on summit night. The twice-daily medical check-ins were reassuring, especially for my kids, who had never been on a high-altitude hike. Our lead guide, with extensive mountain medical training, kept everyone calm and comfortable.
The way the guides made our kids feel special, accomplished, acknowledged them as young adults and bonded with them meant so much & definitely make this a wonderful experience they will remember forever.
I highly recommend this travel operator. They know the mountain inside out, they will take care about you giving you the support where you need and will organize the journey with extreme attention to details.

The Kilimanjaro Machame route is one of the most popular routes for climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. The reason for its popularity is due to it being a very scenic route.
This is a long and hard trek, which reaches an altitude of 5895m. Even if you consider yourself fit, you might still find the climb very hard, depending on how well your body acclimatises to high altitude. There is no scientific way to determine how easily you acclimatise, and be aware that the acclimatisation process also differ from climb to climb.
Most of the trails on the Kilimanjaro trek are well defined and of good quality but some forest sections are often slippery and moorland paths can be very wet in poor weather conditions.
The final ascent to Uhuru peak is almost exclusively on loose rock without permanent footpaths. However, no technical skills are required. During the course of the trip we shall spend time at both high and low altitude, experiencing both extremely cold and quite hot conditions.
We will prepare for an early start every day on Kilimanjaro.
Visiting Tanzania in April and choosing Habari Adventure was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I landed to the final goodbye, everything was smooth, professional, and deeply heartfelt.
I took on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and though the mountain tested every part of me, the Habari team was great at every step. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and caring, always checking in and keeping the team spirit alive with their encouragement. The porters were heroes-cheerful, strong, and full of heart. And the meals! Every bite gave me energy and comfort, especially when the altitude and cold got tough.
Summit night was the hardest and most emotional part of the journey, but also the most magical. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise, with the sky painted in gold, was a moment of pure triumph. I couldn't have done it without the love and support of the Habari crew.
Beyond the mountain, I also went on a short safari-and again, Habari delivered a soul-stirring experience. From spotting elephants and lions to peaceful sunsets over the savannah, I felt connected to nature in a way I never imagined possible. The guide was passionate and deeply knowledgeable, and the camping setup made me feel both adventurous and safe.
Thank you, Habari Adventure, for making April one of the most meaningful months of my life. I came for a challenge and left with strength, gratitude, and a heart full of memories.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route—often dubbed the “Coca-Cola Route”—the only trail offering overnight stays in comfortable mountain huts with solar lighting. Popular and well-established, this route accounts for nearly half of all Kilimanjaro ascents and is ideal for trekkers who prefer hut accommodation over tents.
The journey unfolds through distinct climate zones, from lush rainforest to open moorland and stark alpine landscapes, with each day revealing a new side of the mountain. The standout moment comes on summit day, when you walk from Gilman’s Point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing dramatic glaciers and towering ice cliffs. On clear mornings, the views stretch endlessly across the Rift Valley, with Mount Meru rising in the distance—a fitting reward for the effort.
This is a classic Kilimanjaro experience and a powerful way to stand on the roof of Africa.
Tackle Mount Kilimanjaro via the iconic Machame Route on this well-paced 7-day climb designed to boost acclimatization and summit success.

Clear days reward you with sweeping views of Mount Meru floating above the clouds—an image that tends to stick for life. The final push follows the Barafu Route, a demanding yet spectacular ascent that leads you to Uhuru Peak just as dawn breaks over Africa. With an extra day built in, this itinerary strikes the sweet spot between challenge and comfort, giving you time to acclimatise properly while soaking up Kilimanjaro’s ever-changing scenery.
