Trip description

Climb with us to the highest mountain in Tanzania and the entire African continent - Mt. Kilimanjaro, 5895 m above sea level

Sunrise awaits you at the top of Uhuru, as Kilimanjaro is also known in Swahili. Uhuru means freedom, and you will definitely feel free on the roof of Africa.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is one of the most beautiful treks in the world and you will take the Machame route, which promises the most beautiful panoramas and the best acclimatization, which is one of the most important conditions for success. Overnight in camps.

Trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro is a more challenging climb and is suitable for active people who are in good health and fit. The Machame route is one of the routes with the highest probability of success in reaching the summit thanks to the excellent acclimatization where "you walk high but sleep low". The route leads through 5 climate zones and promises the most beautiful views and panoramas.
