Kilimanjaro Awaits
Many hikers and outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Tanzania because of Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5,895 meters high, it holds the title of the highest mountain in Africa and is recognized as the tallest free-standing mountain of the world. Kilimanjaro is also one of the renowned Seven Summits.
Aside from the challenging ascent to Kilimanjaro's summit, Tanzania also offers a variety of worthwhile hiking tours at lower altitudes to explore.

CLIMBING KILIMANJARO
As you set out to climb Kilimanjaro, you will pass through diverse vegetation zones before reaching the snow-capped peak. Your expedition begins in the lush rainforest, with a gradual transition of flora and fauna as you ascend. The landscape changes from alpine meadows to barren deserts that almost seem like lunar landscapes. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not only a physical, but also a mental challenge that promotes a sense of community between the hikers and with the hiking crew. Reaching the summit is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience that creates lasting memories.

THE BEST ROUTE
Mount Kilimanjaro offers several routes to the summit, each presenting its own conditions and advantages. Whether opting for the popular Marangu or Machame routes or the more demanding Umbwe route, you will encounter stunning landscapes and breathtaking views along the way. The Lemosho Route provides a remote, less-traveled option, allowing you to experience nature with fewer hikers. The Rongai route is also less crowded, offering a peaceful alternative with a gradual ascent.

THE PLANNING
Begin by selecting the Kilimanjaro route that aligns with your preferences, fitness level and budget. Ensure you have the necessary equipment and physical readiness for the climb. Familiarize yourself with the suitable time of year, insurance and health regulations for your adventure. Ultimately, you can entrust us as your tour operator and your hiking crew, guiding you all the way up the mountain and providing unforgettable moments.

“An amazing safari with family.”
We had a very good experience and were able to see the big five. Our guide Soloman/Souleymane was very good.

July 2023“Awesome experience made easy.”
Amazing trip, highly recommended. Ole was a fantastic safari guide, and even though we went when it "wasn't so good" because of the long rains, we still saw many of the animals Mikumi had to offer.

My family and I went on a four day safari with Fahamu Safari and had the best time of our lives. We really experienced memories for a lifetime. This was due to the fact that we had the best guide and driver we could ever hope for.
