Description
When it comes to climbing Kilimanjaro (5,895m), the challenge isn’t technical, but physical. The challenge that comes with the iconic mountain in Tanzania, and highest peak in all of Africa, comes from having the endurance to make it to the top. And, one of the biggest factors that comes with scaling the peak is proper acclimatization. That is why we are happy to offer this 13-day expedition that will not only take you to the summit of Kilimanjaro, but will firstly take you to the summit of Mount Kenya (5,199m). And, as a result of that first climb, you will get all of the acclimatization you need for the second one.
While smaller and much less popular with climbers than Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya is nonetheless a fantastic peak that is well worth climbing. The experience of the climb, along with the tremendous views of the surrounding landscape you’ll get to enjoy from the summit make the journey unforgettable. Furthermore, after you’ve climbed the peak, you’ll only get more excited about the climb of Kilimanjaro to come.
While neither of the two climbs on this trip are technically difficult, it is absolutely imperative that participants on this trip are in good physical condition.
If you would like to enjoy a nearly 2-week adventure that includes climbing Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro, this is the trip for you. To join us on this expedition, please send a request. We look forward to guiding you.
Would you like to only climb Kilimanjaro? Then come and join us on this week long adventure that will take you to the top of the great mountain along the Rongai Route.

Tremendous team-effort , highly professional attitude & coordination , mind-blowing guides & their game-drives , neat arrangements even in very adverse situations , superb hospitality from each & every employee..... Claudious Tours & Safaris made us feel at home from the very moment we stepped in Africa. Thank you for everything you did to us. Our trip wouldn't be so pleasant & successful without you guys.
In June, 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya, with Trekking Mount Kenya. I spent 4 days on the mountain and experienced the wonderful challenge and the friendly helpfulness and knowledge of my guides and porters. Everything was provided for my comfort and enjoyment so that it was a thoroughly fabulous and memorable trek! I recommend this company whole-heartedly.
Very organized, very friendly and professional staff. The tour was great, everything was as planned.

The Climbing Guides and service in both Kenya and Tanzania were super (5+ stars) Kenya Shem, Joxhu, Joseph & Agustin super and thanks. For Kilimanjaro, Deus and Goodlucky were fantastic. However Claudios needs to update the schedule (Lake Nakuru day 7 was canceled) and make available lunches (they were missing on 3 days to and from Nairobi) and make clear when travel will be alone. Finally the Nairobi service agent pushes additional add on Nairobi packages. These are of poor value and should be avoided. These additional package coverage was misleading and I should have avoided completely. This was a Nairobi issue only. Everyone else was above board and super to work with. in summary, the climbs are great and highly recommended. Note the published schedule is not exact and deal with the Nairobi service agent with caution. (Don't take the additional offerings.) Overall it was a very good experience where I met with many great people. Thanks to all.
