Summit trek

About this experience

Climb through five distinct climate zones — from rainforest to arctic summit — on the roof of Africa. A Kilimanjaro summit trek is a genuine expedition: multi-day, guided and supported, ending with a pre-dawn push to Uhuru Peak and a sunrise above the clouds.

Routes are paced for acclimatisation, with porters and cooks handling camp so you can focus on the walking and the altitude. Reaching the summit is one of the great personal achievements a traveller can bring home.
