ESSENTIAL INFO

All you need to know

The challenge

  • Summit the world's highest freestanding mountain
  • Get off the beaten track on our uncrowded route to the peak
  • Trek through five different unspoilt eco-systems
  • Gaze at star-studded Tanzanian skies
  • Walk above an endless ocean of clouds

At a colossal 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes to ever break through the Earth’s crust. Our challenge is to clamber above the sea of clouds to its summit.  We begin in the lush rainforests of the Lemosho Glades, climbing towards the Shira Plateau – is the perfect spot to acclimatise. From here we can see our goal: the ice-capped peak of Kibo. We follow the impressive Southern Flank, Barranco Wall and Barafu Route to the summit. Our groups have excellent success rates (96%) for reaching the summit, however Kilimanjaro – with its 1,000m ascent and 2,000m descent – is not to be underestimated. This is one of the toughest but most exhilarating adventures you will ever embark on.

Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater Safari (For Lemosho) - £749.00

Day 11: Lake Manyara

Elephants feed off fallen fruit while bushbuck, waterbuck, baboons, aardvark, civet, the shy pangolin and leopard, all make their home in the forest. Lake Manyara is a magnet for birdlife and a kaleidoscope of different species can be found around its shores, including huge flocks of flamingos. The large variety of mammals, reptiles, birds and the different types of vegetation, all within a small area make Lake Manyara a diverse and particularly memorable place to visit.

Before its collapse two million years ago, the volcano is believed to have been higher than Mount Kilimanjaro. Its grassland covered plains and forested rim is the habitat of herds of elephant. The grassy crater floor is home to buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and hartebeest as well as the endangered black rhino. Hippos wallow in the marshes and ponds.
