Tour Overview
THE SHORT HISTORY OF MT.KILIMANJARO Mount Kilimanjaro is located three degrees south of the equator in Northeastern Tanzania. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. This immense mountain is made up of three volcanoes: Shira, M awenzi, and our goal, Kibo, the tallest one in the middle. Of the famous highest seven peaks in the world, this is the easiest to get to and the easiest to climb. It requires no technical climbing experience, and any moderately fit person can summit the mountain. African Holiday Safari takes climbers up Mt. Kilimanjaro every day of the year. Safety is our highest priority! Climb Kilimanjaro on any of the routes at a reasonable price. Our local guides are licensed, trained, friendly, and with years of experience. Porters will also go on the trip to carry your luggage, food, and other equipment. You will only have to carry a day pack with your daily essentials. We use professional, quality mountain equipment and food is plentiful and delicious. Groups are limited to 10 people. We will combine groups up to this limit if they are starting the same route on the same day. However, we can also arrange for private groups at no extra cost. We will try to add single travelers to a group if at all possible but will also do groups with just one climber. We can also accommodate large groups of any size. African Holiday Safari provides currently we have guides that speak English, by then the Spanish, French and German speaking guides are hired at a reasonable cost.
