Description
The challenge of a lifetime, this Kilimanjaro trek takes the famous Machame Route. This means you can make the summit of Africa’s highest mountain in seven days, but with a fairly rapid ascent you’ll need a good level of fitness and endurance to complete the challenge. The view from the top of 5,894m Uhuru Peak and sense of achievement more than repays the effort to get there. Before starting the trek you’ll spend a night in Moshi then drive to the park gates to start the climb, rising through rainforest and staying at mountain huts before climbing above the treeline to a lunar, semi-desert landscape. You’ll rise just after midnight to make the final ascent before making the summit for a mountain sunrise to remember. Return for a final night on Kili, then spend a night in your hotel in Moshi for a well-earned rest.
