Kilimanjaro Climb & Serengeti

Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport with your travel liaison and meet your private transportation to your luxury accommodation. In the evening, your lead climbing guide will go over all preparations before we kick back and relax with drinks and an amazing local welcome dinner with the team.

After a hearty breakfast, we set out fully packed to the start of the trail. Enjoy the fantastic views of Kilimanjaro in the distance to guide your way along our first day on the mountain. Keep your eyes peeled for rare wildlife sightings, and settle into your luxury camp for the evening.

Our first full day of trekking begins through the last section of rainforest path before entering the low alpine moorland zone which follows up onto the Shira Plateau. The trek is relatively short and gradual, allowing us to take our time and properly acclimate to the higher elevation.

We cross the Shira Plateau today, continuing on and passing through the ‘Garden of the Senecios’, entering into the high alpine desert zone. Another full day of trekking, we keep the pace slow and focus on acclimating to the altitude, finishing our day with a fantastic meal.

A strenuous hike gives way to great vistas out across the plains that lie north of Kilimanjaro and stretch out to the Kenyan / Tanzanian border. You will arrive at Buffalo Camp just after midday, where you will have lunch and have time to rest and enjoy camp before a gourmet dinner.

Today starts with a climb up Buffalo Ridge and down into Porfu Camp for lunch. Continuing east around the northern slopes, the trek today is our shortest yet, allowing our body to build energy and properly acclimatize for the summit.

Getting an early start today, we make basecamp just after midday. Tonight marks our summit attempt of Kilimanjaro, so plenty of time to rest and gather your energy is given. After an early dinner, it’s time to relax and get some sleep before we start our ascent to the roof of Africa.

Dawn your headlamp and layer up as we begin our ascent up to Uhuru Peak, 5,895 meters above sea level. The dark and the cold constantly challenge us, but our persistence pays off with a magnificent sunrise over the African plains. Toast to your success and document the moment before we begin our euphoric decent back down to our final camp for the evening.

Our final day is a short one, leading us out of Kilimanjaro National Park and back to civilization. Enjoy some time at the spa, a hot shower and a fresh pair of clothes before we delight in an authentic Tanzania BBQ celebration, capping off an incredible journey of mind, spirit and body.

It would be a shame to fly all the way to Africa and not make a quick stop to enjoy the splendor of the Serengeti. Take a chartered flight to an incredible luxury tented camp, where you will enjoy a guided safari and balloon ride before dinner with an unbelievable view.

 Enjoy waking up to elephants grazing in view of your luxury camp before a hearty breakfast and a final morning safari. A private charter is waiting to return you to the International Airport for your flight home.
