Overview
Conquer Africa’s highest peak with this 9-day, 8-night Kilimanjaro trekking adventure via the Machame Route.

With carefully paced ascents and acclimatization days, you’ll be well-prepared for the final midnight push to Uhuru Peak (5,895m), where a breathtaking sunrise awaits at the “Roof of Africa.” Along the way, enjoy nutritious meals, quality camping equipment, and the guidance of experienced mountain crew. After your successful summit, celebrate with a well-deserved certificate before returning to Moshi.
