KILIMANJARO
Although this is our shortest expedition we have included extra days for the ascent of Kilimanjaro both to improve your enjoyment through acclimatisation and also for your safety. We spend 7 days on the ascent, check this out - very few other companies offer this extra level of altitude safety! It adds a small cost, but helps retain our success levels of 99.9% for clients to the actual summit of Kilimanjaro. Flights are to Kilimanjaro airport avoiding the journey to and from Nairobi.

We offer two original additions to the normal shorter standard routes, the: Rongai+, perhaps the easiest and most remote of all the routes. Although longer it has a gentle gradient and shorter daily stages linked with a rest and acclimatisation day at the idyllic Mawenzi Tarn, beneath dramatic rock spires. This gives 7 days walking. Machame+ variation, we extend the normal route by adding an extra camp in the Karanga Valley (4200m) to our itinerary, again giving 7 days walking. Description on page 30.
