The 7-day Mount Kilimanjaro Trek plus an optional 5-day African safari offers the perfect blend of challenging adventure and exploration

Climb Kilimanjaro and safari through Africa’s untamed wilderness

A 7-day trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa, offers an unforgettable combination of physical challenge, awe-inspiring landscapes, and personal achievement. Ascending through diverse ecosystems—from lush rainforests to alpine deserts and icy summit zones—climbers experience the raw beauty of nature while pushing their limits to stand atop the “Roof of Africa.” Guided by experienced local teams, trekkers navigate trails that reveal panoramic views, unique flora and fauna, and the remarkable resilience of Tanzania’s mountain culture. The sense of accomplishment at Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, is unparalleled, offering breathtaking vistas and a profound connection to the continent's natural splendor.

 

After conquering Kilimanjaro, the adventure continues with a 5-day safari through Tanzania’s world-renowned wildlife reserves. Explore the Serengeti’s endless plains, witness the incredible biodiversity of Ngorongoro Crater, and marvel at the herds of elephants in Tarangire National Park. Guided game drives provide opportunities to spot the Big Five and immerse yourself in Africa’s wild beauty.  

The combination of Kilimanjaro and safari is not just a journey of physical endurance and exploration but also a deeply rewarding experience that celebrates Africa’s diverse landscapes and rich natural heritage. This adventure leaves every traveller with memories to treasure for a lifetime.​
