Each route up Kilimanjaro has its own character, scenery and rhythm of acclimatisation. Here are the climbs we run most often.
We started on the mountain and grew into a local team who now guide your whole Tanzania adventure - from summit to Serengeti to sea. Here is what that means for you.
Our guides were born and raised in Tanzania. This is their home, and it shows in every sighting, story and shortcut.
Meticulous about safety - well-maintained 4x4 vehicles, careful acclimatisation planning and clear emergency protocols on every climb and safari.
No two travellers are the same. Every itinerary is built by hand around your pace, interests and budget.
We employ local teams, support conservation, and tread lightly so these places endure for generations.
Over 5,000 travellers have explored Tanzania with us since 2012 - many coming back again, or sending friends and family our way.
Direct contact with the people planning your trip, no call centres, no middlemen, no surprises.
From the endless Serengeti to the coral shores of Zanzibar, Tanzania holds Africa's greatest concentration of wild places. These are the destinations our travellers love most.

Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar
Weather and wildlife patterns vary naturally, but this guide helps you choose the right season for your travel style.
From your first message to your final sunset on Zanzibar, planning a Kilimanjaro climb or Tanzania safari with us stays personal, honest and refreshingly human. Here's how it unfolds.
Share your dates, interests and budget. There is no obligation and no pressure, just a friendly conversation with a specialist.
We design a bespoke itinerary, hand-pick lodges and guides, and refine every detail with you until it feels perfect.
Land in Tanzania and simply enjoy it. We handle logistics, transfers and guiding, with 24/7 support throughout.
Return with memories that last a lifetime, and join the family of travellers who come back to us year after year.
We measure success one journey at a time. Here is what a few of our guests had to say.
The long dry season from June to October is the classic game-viewing window, when wildlife concentrates around water and the Great Migration crosses the northern Serengeti. January to February is superb for the calving season in the southern Serengeti. We tailor timing to what you most want to see.
For peak months (July-September and December) we recommend booking six to twelve months ahead to secure the best camps and guides. Shorter lead times are often possible in the low season, talk to us and we will advise honestly.
Almost all of our journeys are private and tailor-made, your own vehicle, guide and pace. We also arrange small-group departures and honeymoon or family specials on request.
Kilimanjaro is a non-technical trek, but altitude is the real challenge. We build in generous acclimatisation days, carry emergency oxygen and pulse oximeters, and our experienced local guides know how to keep you safe and comfortable all the way to Uhuru Peak.
Absolutely it is our most popular style of trip. A short flight links the safari circuit to the islands, so you can pair Big Five game drives with days on the beach. Our Safari & Zanzibar Combination is a perfect example.
Typically: park and conservation fees, expert guiding, 4×4 safari vehicle, accommodation, most meals, and airport transfers. International flights, visas, travel insurance and tips are usually excluded. Every itinerary lists exactly what is and is not included.
