kilimanjaro TREKKING PACKAGE

Discover Mount Kilimanjaro A Trekking Adventure Like No Other

Kilimanjaro is one of the world’s most accessible summits at 5,895 meters high, a beacon for visitors from around the world. But there is more to Kilimanjaro than her summit. The ascent of the slopes is a virtual climatic world tour, from the Tropics to the Arctic. Even before you cross the National Park Boundary (at 2700m Contour), the cultivated foot slopes give way to lush montane forest, inhabited by elusive elephants, leopards. Buffalos, the endangered Abbotis Duiker and other small antelope and primates.
Higher still lies the moorland zone, where a cover of giant heather is studded with other worldly giant lobelias. Above 4000m, a surreal alpine desert supports little life other than a few hardy mosses and lichen. Then, finally, the last vestigial vegetation gives way to a winter wonderland of ice and snow – and the magnificent beauty of the roof top of the continent.

Not to be left behind, we offer climbing trips to the incredible Mt. Meru. Nestled at 4,562m/14,967ft, Mt. Meru stands as Tanzania’s second-highest summit and Africa’s fifth-highest peak.
