Trekking in Tanzania

Stand on the Roof of Africa

Kilimanjaro treks, Mount Meru and forest hikes with professional Tanzanian guides.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Five climate zones, one summit

Kilimanjaro rises from farmland and rainforest through heath and moorland and alpine desert to the arctic summit of Uhuru Peak at 5,895 metres. No technical climbing is needed — but the altitude deserves respect, which is why longer routes with good acclimatisation give the best chance of reaching the top.

Join one of our fixed-date group departures or ask us to plan a private climb on your own dates.
