Mountain Trekking

Climb Africa's highest mountains with our expertly guided treks. Mount Kilimanjaro — the Roof of Africa at 5,895 metres — is the centrepiece, but we also lead treks on Mount Meru, in the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands and in the Usambara Mountains, for every level of fitness and ambition.

Kilimanjaro has several established routes, each with its own character: the scenic Lemosho, the steep Umbwe, the popular Machame, the hut-based Marangu, the remote Northern Circuit and the Rongai route from the drier northern side. Every climb is led by licensed mountain guides, with daily pulse oximetry checks, emergency oxygen and clear safety procedures.

Beyond Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru (4,566 m) is a superb four-day trek with wildlife on its lower slopes and excellent acclimatisation for a Kilimanjaro climb. Treks in the Crater Highlands and to Ol Doinyo Lengai, the active volcano above Lake Natron, combine walking with Maasai culture and dramatic Rift Valley scenery.
