Trekking in Tanzania
From the forests above Arusha to the ice of Uhuru Peak, climb the mountain that watches over our home.
Our Mountain
The Roof
of Africa
On a clear morning in Arusha it fills the horizon. Mount Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 m, the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain on earth, and a climb that needs no ropes, only preparation, patience and the right route.
We run the eight-day Lemosho route, which approaches from the quiet western side and gives you the days on the mountain that acclimatisation really needs. Expect cloud forest, open moorland, alpine desert and a sunrise from the crater rim that stays with you long after you are home.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain on Earth, a vast volcano whose summit, Uhuru Peak, stands 5,895 m above the sea. No ropes or technical skills are needed, just good preparation, patience and the right route.
Over five to nine days you climb from farmland and rainforest through heather, moorland and alpine desert to the glaciers of the crater rim. Standing beside the summit sign as the sun comes up is a moment few climbers ever forget.

Packing List
Warm layers, broken-in boots, a trusty headlamp. Our checklist covers everything you need from the rainforest gate to the frozen summit.
“Pole pole, slowly, slowly. It is the first Swahili every climber learns, and the best advice anyone can give you on the mountain.”
