While Cheli & Peacock are world-renowned as safari specialists, they can also help you reach the top of Africa’s highest mountain — a nine-day Mount Kilimanjaro Conquest climbing safari — a gradual and breathtakingly beautiful trek to the roof of Africa.
Highlights:
- A more leisurely route that allows for acclimatization.
- Ascend through afro-montane forest to the edge of the remnants of Shira volcano and avoid the crowds.
- Circumnavigate Kibo (the main peak) passing some spectacular features such as giant steps and glacial valleys.
- Final night-time ascent of the Uhuru Peak via Stella Point.
- Descent via the Mweka Route
- Professional, experienced mountain guides with first-class safety objectives including the latest technology, training, tools, communication and support
- Available year-round
More Information:
- After the climb, trekkers transfer to East Africa’s soft white beaches and historic coastal towns, a safari destination, or depart for home.
- This is a private itinerary, but please feel to contact us if you would prefer a scheduled departure.
