Kilimanjaro · Safari
Kilimanjaro & The Wild
Climb above Africa, then descend into its extraordinary wilderness.
A privately guided ascent with a strong summit-success profile, followed by the recovery you have earned: unhurried days on safari with nothing at all to climb.
Journey highlights
- Private climb with an experienced mountain team
- Routes chosen for acclimatisation, not speed
- Safari recovery in the Serengeti or Tarangire
- Extendable with a few nights on Zanzibar

Questions
How fit do we need to be?
Good general fitness and time to acclimatise matter more than athletic ability. We advise honestly during planning.
Which route do you use?
Usually Lemosho or Machame over eight days, because success rates rise significantly with the extra night.
*Starting prices are indicative and depend on season, accommodation level, number of travellers and final itinerary.
Inclusions and exclusions are confirmed in your personal proposal, once the itinerary, camps and dates are agreed.
