Kilimanjaro
Climb Kilimanjaro
Standing on the Roof of Africa is a profound achievement. Success depends heavily on route choice, pacing and preparation.
Choosing a route
Routes differ in scenery, crowds, accommodation and acclimatisation profile. Longer itineraries generally give your body more time to adjust to altitude.
Safety first
Altitude affects everyone differently. We will share the operating standards of any climbing partner before you book — only once verified.
Compare time on the mountain
Ask practical questions before booking
Request the daily route, sleeping elevations, equipment list, crew arrangements and emergency plan in writing. Medical advice and insurance covering your intended altitude are essential parts of preparation. Start with the Kilimanjaro planning guide, then consider a short northern safari after the trek.
