Kilimanjaro Trek

The highest freestanding mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro is also the highest mountain on the African continent at 5896m.

Its snow-capped summit rises high above the dusty plains and huge permanent glaciers flow down from the summit. These views are the reward for pushing your limits both physically and mentally.

The trek takes the less-trodden Machame route, allowing us to camp and fully appreciate the splendour of our surroundings and the clear night skies. We pass through thick forest, moorland and scree enroute to the highest point, Uhuru Peak.

This is a challenging trek at altitude, climbing one of the most impressive and well-known mountains in the world.
