JOURNEY AROUND
MOUNT KILIMANJARO CLIMB
Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcanic mountain in Tanzania. It is the largest free-standing mountain in the world and the highest peak in the continent of Africa which is also knows as “the Rooftop of Africa”. It gives you an awe-inspiring experience of snow-capped mountains. Whether you are an experienced trekker or not, you could climb Kilimanjaro with some technical skills and proper support.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an unforgettable personal achievement that is coveted by hikers worldwide. The mountain is pure majesty to behold, with spectacular views and world-renowned wildlife around you. Our Kilimanjaro adventure also includes an optional wildlife safari on our last day in Tanzania.
Kilimanjaro stretches to 5,895 meters or 19,340 feet above sea level. The mountain is located within Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania. The goal of the expedition is summiting the highest point, Uhuru Peak.
On this expedition, we will climb the Machame Route, also known as the Whiskey Route. It is a most scenic and beautiful route, offering a moderate pitch for good acclimation. We will start at Machame Gate, which is located at the southern base of the mountain, featuring a lush, fertile rainforest. The route goes from savannah and tropical rainforest up to alpine deserts and finally across glaciers, culminating at the summit of Kilimanjaro.
It takes time to summit the Rooftop of Africa because the human body needs to adjust to the high altitude. Therefore, a successful ascent requires slowly acclimatizing to the altitude.
In Swahili, the saying is “Pole Pole,” meaning take it slowly. Most people are able to reach the top when they have enough time to adjust to the altitude. Together, we will prepare, walk, and climb with safety as our important priority.
The African says that the key to the Machame route’s success is its topography, which allows hikers to scale high and sleep low to properly acclimatize the body. It is absolutely the key to reach the summit.
You will be in good hands with our Africa Rooftop expert team member. They will be leading you to the top and sharing insights about the region along the way.
Our lead guide is experienced and supremely qualified to help you reach to the Rooftop of Africa. The porters will carry your bags and camping equipment. Our chefs will feed you tasty, nourishing high energy food during our expedition. Everything will be set up for success on our journey up this mountain.
