We’ve created this mountain summit with a Serengeti safari for the best combination of African experiences. Journey with us to the highest mountain in Africa! Climbing Kilimanjaro with us is a travel experience that will never be forgotten. Then set off on a Serengeti safari. This area is home to one of the highest concentrations of African wildlife where millions of animal species roam in search of grassland. Time spent in this area is both intriguing and exciting, created by the fascinating balance between the wildlife, the landscapes and its people.

No technical ability is required to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, though a good level of fitness will give you a much better chance and allow you to enjoy the experience more.

Our first day of trekking takes 6 hours and gains 700 meters of altitude. We will hike through giant heather to moorlands and our first good view of snowcapped Kibo and Mawenzi. Our summit day is long and rewarding! We will walk up to 16 hours. Rising just after midnight, we climb Kibo for about 6 hours to Oilman’s point (5680m) on the rim of the volcanic crater for sunrise. If the day is clear there are spectacular views over the savannah plains with the possibility of seeing Mt Kenya some 360km away. final push to Uhuru Peak (5895m) - Africa’s highest point. Transport will be waiting at Marangu gate for the journey back to our hotel or for out bound flight. Those staying for the safari will spend 2 days in the Serengeti. People of the Maasai Tribe called it Siringitu - ‘the place where the land moves on forever.’ The park covers 14,763 sq km of endless rolling plains, which reach up to the Kenyan border and extends almost to Lake Victoria. The park is flourishing with magnificent wildlife, perfect for a safari. An estimated 3 million large animals roam the plains.
