Climbing Kilimanjaro is the experience of a lifetime and we aim to deliver you an unforgettable adventure. Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. Climbing it is an amazing challenge - one that will remain in your memories for a lifetime. Seeing the sunrise from Uhuru Peak as you stand on the 'roof of Africa' is breathtaking and traversing the numerous climatic zones and meeting the warm Chagga people an inspiring experience.

The Machame route is a popular route on Kilimanjaro as it doesn’t involve a long drive, ascends and descends by different routes, enjoys beautiful campsites, passes many of Kilimanjaro’s finest features and the overall success rate is excellent.
