Kilimanjaro Safari

Go on a Kilimanjaro Safari and visit the world's largest free standing mountain - measuring in at a whopping 5000 metres. Those who have been on safari to Kilimanjaro can really say they have stood on the Roof of Africa!

According to legend, the first person to ascend Kilimanjaro was King Menelik 1, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.The first Europeans to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro were Dr Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller. Today, more than 20,000 people a year attempt the climb, and efforts are being made to stop the erosion on the most popular routes.

There are several ways of conquering this giant, and although no experience is required, the effects of altitude and the cold put anyone's physical and mental stamina to the test. If this all seems a little bit too strenuous for you, one of our safari tours focuses on viewing the mountain from below.

The best months to climb the mountain are January, February and September. July and August are also fine, but somewhat colder

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a great adventure and you’ll experience an enormous sense of achievement looking down at Africa from the top.
