Kilimanjaro Summit Push

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, is one of the world’s great trekking challenges. Over 6 days, you will ascend through dramatically shifting landscapes — from lush rainforest to alpine desert, and finally to the icy summit. This trek is physically demanding but requires no technical climbing skills, making it accessible to fit adventurers with determination. Each day brings new scenery, from giant heather plants to barren volcanic ridges, and every step prepares you for the final push to the summit. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise is a life-changing moment: the world spreads beneath you in endless plains, and the sense of accomplishment is unforgettable.

From $1,600 per person (based on double occupancy; single supplement available).

Expect long trekking days at altitude, with 4–8 hours of walking on most days and a demanding 10–14 hours on summit night. The pace is deliberately slow to help with acclimatization. The climb passes through multiple ecosystems: lush jungle, moorlands, alpine desert, and finally the glacial zone. Nights are spent camping under the stars with the support of guides and porters who prepare meals and set up camp. The physical challenge is significant, but with strong willpower and steady guidance, most trekkers reach the top. The reward is extraordinary: standing at 5,895m on Africa’s roof as the sun rises over the endless plains.
