Safari Tours & Trips in Mount Kilimanjaro

Take the Machame Route, or 'Whiskey Route,' up Mount Kilimanjaro and walk through lush rainforests that turn into alpine deserts as you climb higher. You'll tackle the challenging Barranco Wall at Barranco Camp, then push through a midnight summit attempt from Barafu Camp at 4,640m to reach Uhuru Peak at 5,895m, Africa's highest point, before heading down through Mweka Camp with experienced guides and hearty meals from the camp chefs.

Take the quieter Rongai Route up Kilimanjaro, camping at scenic spots like Mawenzi Tarn beneath jagged Mawenzi Peak and Kibo Hut on the alpine saddle. Around midnight, push for Uhuru Peak at 19,341ft—Africa's highest point—with views across Kenya's plains and Kibo's glaciers. Head down through heath and rainforest zones where you might spot wildlife, finishing with your summit certificate at Marangu Gate.

Safari vehicles take you through UNESCO-listed Serengeti National Park, where you'll track lions, leopards, cheetahs and witness the annual wildebeest migration across the plains. You'll also descend into Ngorongoro Crater to spot nearly every major African animal except giraffes, then camp at unfenced sites.

This 6-day trek up Mount Kilimanjaro follows the Marangu Route, sometimes called the 'Coca-Cola Route,' and it's different from other climbs because you'll sleep in mountain huts instead of tents—staying at Mandara Hut, Horombo Hut, and Kibo Hut along the way.
