– unforgettable trekking adventures on Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most iconic trekking adventures in the world. Rising to 5,895 meters, Africa’s highest mountain attracts travelers who dream of standing on the famous summit, Uhuru Peak.
Our guided Kilimanjaro trekking tours are designed to maximise safety, acclimatisation and summit success. With experienced local guides and a professional mountain crew, every climb is carefully planned to give you the best possible experience on the mountain.
There are several routes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, each offering different scenery, duration and difficulty levels. Some routes provide a quieter and more scenic trekking experience, while others are shorter and more direct.
Popular options include the Machame Route, known for its high success rate, and the scenic Lemosho Route, which offers excellent acclimatisation. The Northern Circuit Route is the longest route and provides one of the highest summit success rates on the mountain.
Many travelers choose to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as part of a larger journey through Tanzania. After reaching the summit, it is common to continue the adventure with a Tanzania safari or a relaxing stay on the beaches of Zanzibar.
Combining Kilimanjaro climbing tours with safari experiences creates the ultimate East African itinerary — from the roof of Africa to the wildlife plains of the Serengeti.
It is important for your body to acclimatize, and to achieve this, is to proceed slowly giving your body time to acclimatize to the increasing altitude.
There is plenty of time for each days trek even for those who will like to go very slowly.

Yasin is an excellent driver and a very experienced guide, who dicovers even the ear of a lion hiding in the grass in a distance of 50 meters. So we have been lucky to see a lot of animals. Therefore our Safari was an awesome experience. We also received lots of information about the animals, the National Parks, the country of Tansania and the people living there. Since he is very humorous guy, we had a lot of fun, too. Thanks Yasin for a very special and fantastic time.
Can’t recommend Yasin highly enough. Endlessly informative with an almost sixth sense of where the animals are likely to be. Also a funny and ever positive travelling companion who contributed much to a family holiday of a lifetime.
We had a three-day safari with Yasin. Yasin gave us a very warm welcome right from the start and made us feel very familiar and friendly. It didn’t feel like a tour with a guide. We felt that we were in good hands and were able to enjoy the safari. We particularly liked the fact that Yasin always involved us in everything. For example, we were able to decide when our day began or ended. Yasin was able to tell us a lot about the wildlife, but also about the culture and the country. He was in constant contact with his colleagues, which gave us a good opportunity to see the BIG5. The moment of our engagement was very special for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again, dear Yasin. Thank you for your support and the great picnic spot. You were so well prepared, always took care of everything and made our dream come true. We will never forget these moments and we will never forget you. Stay healthy and as cheerful as we got to know you. Kind regards from Bremen (Germany) Jessica & Brian
Wir waren vom 26.7. bis zum 05.8. mit Yassin auf Safari. Alles klappte wunderbar, von der Abholung am Flughafen bis zum Ende der Reise. Wir erfuhren von ihm unglaublich viel über Land und Menschen und Tierwelt. Er kannte sich in allen Themen, zu denen wir neugierig waren, aus. Die Gamedrives in den Naturparks waren perfekt. Wir entdeckten unendlich viele Tiere und er zeigte uns nicht nur die Tiere, die viele Touristen ausschließlich sehen wollen, sondern die so unendlich artenreiche Tierwelt. Die Serengeti war natürlich extrem eindrucksvoll. Vor allem die große Tiermigration, bei der wir Dank Yassin einen Platz in der ersten Reihe hatten. Eindrucksvoll auch die Unterkünfte dort, so nah an der Natur und voller perfekten Service. Das ist wahrer Luxus. Das Auto und auch der Transport in ihm war komfortabel. Kurz zusammengefasst: eine unglaublich eindrucksvolle, sichere, individuelle, sehr inhaltsreiche und unvergessliche Reise. Vielen vielen Dank
My family and I were so lucky that we had Hussein as our guide! He were really passionate about his work, which resulted in us learning so much about the nature we went to, seeing a lot of different animals meanwhile having a truly comfy trip where you felt safe all the timeâ˜ºï¸ I will truly recommend Hussein as a guide for your wildlife adventure ðŸ€
We spend ten days with Yasin in the Serengeti, Taranguire and Ngorongoro Crater. Yasin, our guide, was always optimally prepared and also discovered the animals that were well hidden. He kept the necessary distance and always showed consideration for the animals. We felt safe and in good hands. Thanks to Yasin we experienced a unique Safaritour that we will never forget.
