Mount Kilimanjaro

Climb the Roof of Africa, Your Way

Choose a route suited to your timeframe, experience, and preferred pace. Fahamu's local team will help you prepare for every stage of the climb.

The classic "Coca-Cola" route and the only trail with mountain-hut accommodation. A steady, well-trodden path to Uhuru Peak. Karibu Sana

Discover Route

A quiet, scenic western approach across the Shira Plateau, with more time to acclimatise and one of the highest summit success rates.

Discover Route

The famous "Whiskey" route β€” a varied, dramatic climb over the Barranco Wall for trekkers who want scenery and challenge in equal measure.

Discover Route

The Rongai Route starts in quiet pine and rainforest, crosses open moorland with wide views over the plains, and camps beneath the jagged spires of Mawenzi

Discover Route

The Umbwe Route is the steepest and most direct way up Kilimanjaro. It gains height fast, climbing more than 2,300 m in the first two days, so it suits fit, experienced hikers

Safari in Tanzania

What Does a Tanzania Safari Actually Look Like?

Tanzania is home to some of Africa's most famous national parks; the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and more. Each protected area has its own character, its own wildlife density, and its own reason to visit.

A safari here is not one thing. It can be the Great Migration crossing a river at dawn, a walking safari through silence broken only by birdsong, or a hot air balloon drifting over the plains as the light turns gold. What it always is: unlike anything else.

With Tanzania's impressive biodiversity, no two days look the same, from epic wildlife events to intimate encounters with nature on foot. Your expert guide handles the rest, tracking wildlife and making sure every detail runs smoothly. All you have to do is soak it in. This is safari life in Tanzania. Are you ready?

  • The Great Migration

    Millions of wildebeest and zebras traversing the Serengeti plains in search of water and food.

  • Ngorongoro Crater

    One of Africa's natural wonders, dense wildlife within a single volcanic caldera.

  • Walking Safari

    Led by experienced guides, on foot through the wilderness, intimate and unhurried.

  • Hot Air Balloon

    A tranquil sunrise flight over Tanzania's wildlife, often ending with a champagne breakfast.

  • Camping Safari

    Spend the night inside the parks under canvas, under stars, surrounded by nature.

  • Chimpanzee Trekking

    Mahale and Gombe Stream offer rare encounters with wild chimpanzees in forest habitat.
