2-week expedition to the Kilimanjaro summit

Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m) is the highest mountain in Africa and also a major climbing destination. In this amazing 2-week tour you will reach its summit with an expert mountain guide, via the beautiful Machame Route.

Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano located in northern Tanzania, Africa. First climbed in 1889, this mountain is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park, a protected area which includes the Mawenzi, Shira Plateau and Kibo peaks.

There are seven official trekking routes leading to the top of Kilimanjaro. Machame is widely proclaimed as the most scenic and successful one. It crosses savannahs, rainforests and glaciers. While climbing this mountain we will enjoy some fabulous panoramic views.

Though the climb is not technically as hard as Andes or Himalayas, the high altitudes, strong winds and low temperatures make Kilimanjaro’s Machame a physically demanding and difficult trek.

Before attempting the summit of Kilimanjaro we need a good acclimatization. The first few days we will climb Mount Meru (4,566m), the second highest peak of Tanzania, as a practice for the ultimate goal.

Furthermore, Kilimanjaro has a rich wildlife, especially in the forests that cover the lower slopes. In several parts of the tour we will be accompanied by a ranger of the National Park, necessarily equipped to respond to any buffalo or elephant attack.

So, if you are up for a once-in-a-lifetime mountaineering adventure, contact me! I’ll be glad to lead you to the top of the majestic Kilimanjaro.
