Mount Kilimanjaro trekking

Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m / 19,341 ft), Africa’s highest peak, through five distinct climate zones—rainforest, heather & moorland, alpine desert, and the arctic summit. Treks are fully supported with professional guides, cooks, and porters. Best seasons are January–early March and June–October (short rains in November, long rains March–May). We strongly recommend itineraries with extra acclimatization days for safety and success.

Marangu Route (“Coca-Cola” Route)
