Safari summary

Welcome on an extraordinary 6-day climbing odyssey with our exclusive group expedition to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This meticulously crafted adventure offers an unparalleled experience, blending the camaraderie of group trekking with the thrill of conquering Africa's highest peak.

Your journey begins at the renowned Marangu Gate (1,860m), the starting point of the iconic Marangu Route. From here, you'll traverse through lush rainforests, where the air is thick with the scent of exotic flora and the melodies of native birdlife. As you ascend to Mandara Hut (2,700m), the first leg of your adventure provides a gentle introduction to the wonders of Kilimanjaro.

Continuing your ascent, you'll transition into the expansive moorlands, leaving behind the dense foliage of the rainforest. Trekking to Horombo Hut (3,720m), you'll be captivated by sweeping panoramas of Kilimanjaro's rugged slopes and the vast African plains below. Here, a dedicated day of acclimatization ensures your readiness for the challenges ahead, allowing your body to adjust to the increasing altitude.

As the journey progresses, you'll ascend further towards the summit, trekking through barren alpine deserts and past towering volcanic formations. Arriving at Kibo Hut (4,700m), situated at the base of Kilimanjaro's crater rim, you'll be filled with anticipation for the ultimate challenge that lies ahead.

Summit day dawns with an exhilarating ascent under the cover of darkness. Setting out from Kibo Hut in the early hours, you'll navigate steep switchbacks and rocky terrain, guided by the soft glow of your headlamp. As the first light of dawn illuminates the horizon, you'll reach Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point on Kilimanjaro, and stand triumphantly atop the Roof of Africa.

With the summit conquered and memories etched forever, your descent begins. Returning to Horombo Hut, you'll reflect on your extraordinary achievement amidst the camaraderie of your fellow climbers. Descending through the rainforest to the Marangu Gate, you'll receive your hard-earned summit certificates, a testament to your remarkable feat.
