Tanzania, Africa: Kilimanjaro Climb-Only Option

The Adventure:

No place in Africa captures the imagination quite like Tanzania.  From the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 19,340 feet, to the wildlife-filled plains of the Serengeti to the coral reefs and beaches of Zanzibar.  Tanzania is a fascinating country situated in East Africa and bordering the Indian Ocean. It has great natural beauty and extensive protected land whose unique ecosystems are unparalleled.

In addition to its wildlife and stunning scenery, Tanzania is a melting pot of cultures and religion, with over 100 ethnic groups living peacefully together.  If the land doesn’t call you back again and again, then, certainly, the people will. 

Climb to the "roof of Africa" on Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet/5,861 meters).  The highest peak in Africa and one of the "Seven Summits".  We will climb the Western Breach via the non-technical Shira Plateau Route.  This route has a near 100% success rate!  

Trip Summary:

• Climb to the highest point in Africa on the Shira Plateau
• Eight days of challenging hiking at high altitude
• Climb in luxury with first-class cuisine and full support staff
• Optional game drive in Arusha National park
• Experience Maasai culture first-hand
