Rising 5,895 metres above the plains, Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak and one of the world's great trekking challenges.
This seven-day Machame ('whiskey') route climbs through rainforest, heather and alpine desert to the summit glaciers, with proper acclimatisation days that maximise your chances of success.
You'll be supported by an experienced crew of guides, porters and cooks, camp in comfortable mountain tents, and finish with the sense of standing on the roof of Africa.
Route difficulty
A serious high-altitude trek for experienced walkers.
Register at the gate and climb through rainforest to the first camp.
Emerging into heather and moorland, a steady climb onto the Shira plateau.
Climb high to Lava Tower then descend to Barranco, the key acclimatisation day.
Scale the 'Barranco wall' and cross the alpine desert to the high base camp.
Depart around midnight for the summit, reaching Uhuru Peak at 5,895m at dawn, then descend to Mweka camp.
Descend through the rainforest to the Mweka gate, receive your certificates and return to Arusha.
Confident hikers comfortable with very high altitude and longer, tougher days on the trail.
Travellers who want a complete, in-depth journey across Ethiopia and beyond.

It is a high-altitude endurance trek, not a climb. Regular cardio training ahead of travel and good general fitness give you the best chance.
The seven-day Machame route has one of the highest success rates of any Kilimanjaro route, thanks to its extra acclimatisation day.
Mara, Serengeti and the crater
The classic East African safari in one seamless journey — the Masai Mara, the Serengeti plains, the Ngorongoro crater and Africa's greatest wildlife spectacles.
Stone Town, spice and white sand
Wind down from safari or summit with the perfect island finish — Stone Town's lanes, spice tours and the powder-white beaches of the east coast.
Safari's greatest stage set — the endless plains of Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater, Kilimanjaro's crown and the beaches of Zanzibar.
