Mount kilimanjaro
Conquer Africa’s highest peak.
The mountain rises through five climate zones, from rainforest to arctic summit, to 5,895 metres at Uhuru Peak.
No ropes or technical equipment required, but the altitude is serious and preparation matters.
We offer multiple routes at different durations and difficulty levels, and we’ll tell you honestly which one gives you the best chance of reaching the top.
Kilimanjaro is a serious undertaking. The altitude affects everyone differently, and the difference between a successful summit and turning back early usually comes down to how well the climb is paced and how many days are taken for acclimatisation. We plan every route with that in mind.
Your guide knows this mountain in every season. The porters we work with are treated as the professionals they are: fairly paid, properly equipped, and central to how the climb runs. You’ll notice the difference.
The five climate zones on the ascent make Kilimanjaro unlike any other walk you’ve done. Rainforest on the lower slopes gives way to heath and moorland, then the wide open alpine desert, and finally the summit ridge above the clouds. Each zone has its own character. The summit at dawn, with the glacier behind you and the plains of Tanzania far below, is worth every early start.

Kilimanjaro can be climbed by several routes, each with its own terrain, duration, and acclimatisation profile. The right one depends on your fitness, your schedule, and how much time you want on the mountain. We are very happy to tell you honestly which route suits you best before you decide anything.
