Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Expedition

Challenge yourself with our 10-day Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Expedition via the Machame Route. Known as the “Whiskey Route,” this trail offers stunning scenic views and a higher summit success rate, all while providing an unforgettable journey through diverse climatic zones.

Standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), Mount Kilimanjaro is not just Africa’s highest peak but an iconic symbol of raw and natural grandeur. Known to the Chagga people as ‘Kibo’ – meaning “snow” – this dormant volcano requires no technical climbing gear, making it achievable for most adventurous souls. The Machame Route, also known as the “Whiskey Route,” offers a moderate challenge while providing some of the most breathtaking views, with a higher success rate than other trails.

From lush rainforests to moorlands and alpine deserts, every day on Kilimanjaro introduces you to new and awe-inspiring environments.
