Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent and one of the Seven Summits. The highest peaks on the seven continents of the World. It is situated in the Northern part of Tanzania easily accessible from Kilimanjaro international Airport (JRO). 

Moshi, our base for the trekking phase of the expedition is right at the base of the mountain and caters well to tourists with lively bars and a comfortable hotel for us. This trip is a 7-day Machame route and includes a 2-day Safari to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

This price for this iconic trip is £2850 per person including food whilst trekking and on safari. 

The 7-day Machame route is a beautiful route that comes highly recommended. Due to its ascent profile and longer duration it offers plenty of opportunity for acclimatisation. It has a high summit success rate and get’s you off the well-trodden routes. We will be fully catered in our camps by a team of chefs who will prepare all our food in a cook tent and serve us in a dining tent. 

We will be camping for six nights on the mountain. You will be given two-person 4-season mountain tents by our local suppliers in Tanzania. All our equipment including your tents, sleeping bag, mat and spare clothes will be carried by a team of well-motivated porters.
