View ItineraryKilimanjaro
Three routes up Africa's highest peak, each with its own approach, scenery, and acclimatization profile — choose the one that fits your pace and time on the mountain.
6 Days
Machame
Known as the "Whiskey Route" for its steeper, more demanding path — a scenic approach through rainforest and moorland with strong acclimatization built into the schedule.
View Itinerary
7 Days
Lemosho
An extra day on the mountain for better acclimatization, approaching from the quieter west side through untouched forest before joining the main summit path.

6 Days
Rongai
The only route approaching from the north, near the Kenyan border — drier terrain, fewer climbers, and a gentler gradient than the southern approaches.
View ItineraryMount Meru
Tanzania's second-highest peak, and a proven acclimatization climb ahead of Kilimanjaro — set within Arusha National Park, with wildlife on the lower slopes.
A shorter, steep climb through Arusha National Park's forest and moorland, passing giraffe, buffalo, and colobus monkeys on the lower slopes before a night ascent to Socialist Peak. Well suited on its own or as preparation for Kilimanjaro.
