You do not need to climb it to feel it
Many of our northern Tanzania safaris have Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, even without doing the full climb.
Can be combined with a classic safari or the full trek.
Plan your tripThe roof of Africa: the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, visible from several of our safaris.
June to October and January to March, the most stable windows for the climb.
Six to eight-day Machame and Lemosho routes, with Tanzanian porters and guides, and acclimatisation designed to get you to the top, not to get there fast.
High-altitude camps along the route, and a resting lodge before and after the climb.

Can be combined with a classic safari or the full trek.
Plan your tripKilimanjaro is the world’s tallest free-standing mountain (it isn’t part of any mountain range) and a dormant volcano with five distinct climate zones, from rainforest to snow at its summit, Uhuru Peak. Most of our travellers experience it as a backdrop: it’s a common sight from several of our northern Tanzania safari routes, especially around Arusha, and many of our itineraries start or end at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), right at the mountain’s foot.
A full ascent is a different experience from a safari — several days of high-altitude trekking, with no guarantee of reaching the summit and specific physical preparation required — and it is not currently part of our standard safari routes. If you’re interested in combining a safari with a climb, get in touch and we’ll explain how we can arrange it on request.
