Mountain Trekking Adventures
Challenge Yourself. Conquer the Heights of Africa.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is the experience of a lifetime. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at a staggering 5,895 metres (19,341”), and the world’s highest free-standing mountain. Though many of the mountain’s routes are not for the faint-hearted, with an experienced guide at your side, you certainly don’t need to be an experienced climber to reach its summit.

Exceptional Safety Standards
We carry first aid kits, oxygen tanks, pulse oximeters, and conduct daily health checks. Your safety is our top priority from gate to summit.
Well-Trained Porters & Camp Crew
From setting up your tent to cooking hot, hearty meals, our support team goes above and beyond. We adhere to fair porter treatment (KPAP-aligned) and ensure every trekker is well-cared for on and off the trail.
No prior climbing experience is required for Kilimanjaro or Meru. However, good physical fitness and preparation are essential. We recommend regular hiking and cardio exercises before your trip.
The climb typically takes 5 to 9 days, depending on the route:
Marangu: 5–6 days
Machame: 6–7 days
Lemosho: 7–8 days
Northern Circuit: 9 days
Longer treks increase your success rate by allowing more time for acclimatization.
January–March: Clear skies, less crowded, slightly cooler
June–October: Best weather, peak season
April–May & November: Rainy season, fewer climbers, but challenging conditions
