MOUNTAIN TREKKING |
Mount Kilimanjaro Treks |
|
|
We outfit climbs for all routes on Kilimanjaro though we prefer the more
scenic and less tourist routes such as Lemosho Glades (also known as the
Shira route), and the Umbwe route.
For those with time to acclimatize properly, we ascend via the Western
Breach Route. This trek is a truly first-class mountaineering experience!
Scheduled and tailor-made treks are available. Prices vary by group size.

On routes other than Marangu
(which has mountain huts), we provide modern
mountaineering tents with ground sheets & cold-weather
sleeping mats. Large mess tents with floors hold
aluminum tables and chairs with backs arm-rests. We also provide sanitary portable flush toilets inside enclosed
tents. We have an extensive choice of rental gear, including special mountain
sleeping bags, warm outer layers, and everything you'll need for a safe and
comfortable ascent to the top of Africa. Last but not least, our professionally trained cooks serve up the best
cuisine on Kilimanjaro, using the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

Our mountain guides are experienced Tanzanians fluent in English. They are
also knowledgeable on the flora and fauna of the mountain as well as on Kilimanjaro's geology.
We carry all the requisite safety gear for emergencies, such as
oxygen, hyperbaric chambers, stretcher & litter, as well as a WFR First-Aid
kit (for our climbers and our porters). Moreover, our guides are trained to be
proactive about altitude illness, and prevention of injuries. Should climbers
require a French speaking mountain guide, we can provide a tour leader fluent
in French. We are known for providing not only excellent services on our
treks, but also for ensuring that we leave no traces behind.

OLDONYO LENGAI MOUNTAIN
The landscape of Ngorongoro Conservation Area has
been shaped by Volcanic activity
caused by the formation of the Gregory Rift and
the Eyasi Rift, the main geological
features of the Region. During a process which
ran its cause over a period of four
Million years, seven volcanoes were created by
the lava flows. Some of them Oldonyo
Lengai the Masai Mountain of God, just outside
borders of Ngorongoro Conservation
Area is still active. Energetic visitors can
climber the steep slopes to gain a
spectacular view at the top. At times this
Crater is deep but in recent years the
Ash has bubbled over the lower rim leaving trail
of shimmering white which can be
see from the surrounding areas. Over many
millennia the Ash of many eruptions has
been deposited by the prevailing easterly winds
to from the fertile plains of Serengeti.
