Mount Kilimanjaro & Mount Kenya treks
Standing on the roof of Africa at sunrise is a moment you never forget. We organise private treks on Africa's two highest mountains: Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest mountain in Africa, and Mount Kenya, the second highest.
Neither summit needs technical climbing skills. A good level of fitness, a steady pace and enough time to acclimatise are what get you to the top – which is why our itineraries build in time to adjust to the altitude.
Every trek is private, with your own experienced guide, cook and porters. Park fees, meals on the mountain and transfers are included. Choose a route below, or ask us to help you find the one that fits your time, fitness and budget.
Africa's second-highest mountain rises just a few hours' drive from Nairobi. Trek through bamboo forest, giant heather and moorland to the jagged peaks and a sunrise on Point Lenana, choosing between the Sirimon, Naro Moru and Chogoria routes.
