Day 7-14: Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro
For these 8 days of your 15 days safari, you will be on your quest to conquer the great Mt. Kilimanjaro. 8 days on Kilimanjaro gives your body enough time to adapt to the high altitude and conditions on the mountain providing higher chances of summit success.
For this trip we highly recommend Lemosho route and or the Northern Circuit route. Both routes ascend from the West and descend at Mweka gate in the South.
Both have great sceneries; they are among the most beautiful routes on Kilimanjaro and with high summit success rates because of their high possibilities of acclimatization.
On day 14, you will drive back to your hotel in Moshi, have that long awaited shower and continue with the celebrations, you summited the tallest mountain on the African continent.
Day 15: End of Safari
Your 15 days safari comes to an end today with a drop off at the airport for your flight back home. Asante (Thank you).
