TOUR OVERVIEW

Into Tanzania's wild heart.

This is the classic four-day Momella Route, without the safari. Walk past giraffe and buffalo with an armed ranger, follow the exposed crater rim and watch the sun rise behind Kilimanjaro. Many climbers do it just before Kilimanjaro to prepare for the altitude.

The full climb to Socialist Peak and nothing else, and one of the best ways to prepare for Kilimanjaro. This sample itinerary is a strong starting point and can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred accommodation level.
