Climbing Kilimanjaro is the ultimate hiking holiday in Africa! As well as being Africa's highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro is also the world's largest free standing volcano. The 5895 Uhuru Peak towers over the vast African plains (which are at around 2000m). The rich diversity of culture and wildlife Tanzania has to offer complement the stark natural beauty you will see all around you as you climb. This climb is a truly rewarding experience that you will never forget.
Can I climb Mt Kilimanjaro?
No technical ability is required to climb Kilimanjaro though a good level of fitness will give you a better chance and allow you to enjoy the experience more. Any reasonably fit person over the age of 12 can reach the summit. The oldest person to successfully climb Mt Kilimanjaro was 87 year old.
Our experts will advise you on various routes up the mountain providing a choice of climbs from the popular Machame and Marangu to the less frequently-climbed and more challenging Shira,Rongai and Lemosho routes.
Contact us if you would like to book a private Kilimanjaro climb for yourself, or with your friends and family.
Traveling alone, and would like to join a group? We offer special set departure hikes, planned to coincide the summit night with Full Moon to give you the most dramatic views.
Mountain Kingdom Safaris provides you with the opportunity to design your ideal Tanzanian holiday. Climb Mt Kilimanjaro and combine the unforgettable experience with a game viewing safari in the world-famous Serengeti and Ngorongoro, or a visit to romantic Zanzibar Island to lie on idyllic white sandy beaches and walk through the unique Jozani Forest. Whatever you decide on, our experienced staff can help you design your holiday and ensure an unforgettable experience.
For more challenging and adventurous travelers, leave the tourist trail and choose to climb Kilimanjaro privately by a lesser used route or visit the active volcano Oldonyo Lengai (the Masai 'Mountain of god'), Tanzania's only active volcano and the world's only carbonate volcano. If you feel like a break from climbing, go for a big game safari to find the rare black rhino and prides of lions, or take a sunrise balloon safari across the Serengeti for unforgettable views of the vast herds of gazelles and wildebeest stretching across the plains. Choose from tented camps, luxury lodges or the adventure of wilderness camping.
Contact us directly and our field staff will help you design personal Kilimanjaro treks or a Tanzania safari.
