Safari summary

This 6-day Marangu Route climb lets you reach the highest point in Africa while travelling with a friendly joining group in 2026–2027. After a relaxed arrival day in Moshi for gear checks and briefing, the trail begins in thick rainforest alive with birds and colobus monkeys. You continue through flowered moorland and giant lobelias, then cross a wide, dry alpine desert where the air grows thin and the sky feels close. Nights are spent in sturdy mountain huts where you enjoy hot meals and warm drinks. Guides and porters carry supplies, prepare nourishing food, and monitor your health so you can focus on the climb. The midnight trek to Uhuru Peak rewards you with a breathtaking sunrise and sweeping views over the plains before you descend through the green forest to celebrate at the park gate.
