• Cultural Experiences Available:  Kilimanjaro Porter's Assistance Project

Trip Overview

At 19,340 feet (5,890 meters), the great massif of Kilimanjaro looms above the cloud forest, crowned with snow.  It is an imposing sight and a challenging trek, but a trek that anyone in good condition can complete when the pace is adjusted responsibly to accommodate increasing altitude.  We limit our treks to the western side of the mountain, far away from the tourist crowds.  The Machame Route is breathtaking and scenic.   Those of you who have seen the "IMAX" film on Kilimanjaro will recognize parts of this route, particularly the stunning Barranco Valley. 

Our Machame Route is seven days on the mountain with two days before the trek for acclimatization.  Your climb is carefully paced and our guide's wisdom and experience assist you each day in reaching your goal.  (Our guide, Kambona Ole Tirra, has achieved over 112 summits but who's counting?)  It's a combination of Kambona's expertise plus careful acclimatization that give our guests a 98% summit success rate.  Talk to us about adding on a safari extension, exploring the hidden world of Ngorongoro Crater or the vast Serengeti.
