Trekking Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and the tallest free standing mountain in the world. It is one of the Seven Summits - the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.
This is a fantastic trekking experience that offers a diverse landscape that varies from trekking through lush Afromontane forest to hiking alongside ancient glaciers on a volcanic crater rim.
We offer a number of different trekking options which vary in scenery and duration. You can read more about these routes below.
