🏆 EXTRAORDINARY PORTERS 🏆

Every trek up Mount Kilimanjaro is a testament to teamwork, determination, and skill. Yet, the true heroes behind these journeys are often those who work quietly in the background—the porters.

We take immense pride in our porters and mountain crew, whose dedication and professionalism are the foundation of every successful expedition.

🇹🇿 HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY 🇹🇿

Today, we proudly celebrate Tanzania’s Republic Day, marking the nation's rich history, unity, and progress.

This day reminds us of the strength, resilience, and diverse culture that make Tanzania a beacon of pride in Africa. From the majestic Kilimanjaro to the stunning Serengeti, and the vibrant spirit of our people, we honor the journey that has brought us here and look forward to a bright future together.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the values of peace, unity (umoja), and development that unite us all.

🐆 INTERNATIONAL CHEETAH DAY 🐆

Let’s celebrate and raise awareness for these magnificent big cats, the fastest animals on land! Cheetahs are incredible creatures, but they face numerous challenges in the wild.

Here are 3 fascinating facts about cheetahs you might not know:

1️⃣ Cheetahs can accelerate from 0 to 96.56 km/h (60 mph) in just 3 seconds! Their slender bodies, lightweight frames, and long tails help them maintain balance during high-speed chases.

2️⃣ Their distinctive black tear marks under their eyes aren’t just for looks. These marks reduce glare and help them focus on prey even during the bright daylight.

3️⃣ With fewer than 7,000 cheetahs left in the wild, they are classified as vulnerable. Habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal trade are their biggest threats.

Together, we can protect cheetahs and ensure their future. Support conservation efforts, spread awareness, and help make a difference.

❄️ GLACIERS ❄️

The four notable Glaciers of Kilimanjaro include Furtwängler Glacier, Rebmann Glacier, Credner Glacier, and Arrow Glacier.

The glaciers on Kilimanjaro are estimated to be around 11,700 years old. However, some areas are vulnerable to weather and sunlight, which has led to melting and refreezing, and are estimated to be around 800 years old.

☀ DAY TREKS ☀

For a unique experience, the Meru Crater and Kilimanjaro day hikes provide unforgettable journeys through stunning scenery and diverse wildlife.

🐍 NATIONAL REPTILE AWARENESS DAY🐢

Did you know that despite their reputation, the vast majority of East Africa’s 650 reptile species pose no threat to humans? Their ecological value cannot be overstated!

Snakes play a vital role in keeping rodent populations under control.

Lizards and frogs are nature's pest controllers, devouring mosquitoes and other pesky insects.

And crocodiles act like the aquatic version of vultures, cleaning up the lakes and rivers by disposing of carrion that could otherwise clutter these waters.

🎉 CELEBRATION CEREMONY 🎉 “The trip was off the charts. Exceeded my hopes and expectations.” The season is in full swing and we're thrilled to share that every group has reached the summit with a 100% success rate! Our celebrations are just as exciting as the climbs. On the last night on the mountain, we come together for a Celebration Ceremony to honour our safe summits, safe returns, and the amazing new friendships we've formed along the way.

The annual migration is still in Northern Serengeti where Nelvin our Nature Discovery guide together with his clients had the good fortune of getting front row seats to watch thousands of Wildebeest crossing the Mara River. Isn't it time for you to book your safari to witness this annual spectacle? Contact us on [email protected]

CELEBRATION CEREMONY On the last night of your Kilimanjaro climb, just after summitting and trekking down to either Millennium or Mweka camp, the staff gather around to celebrate a successful trip, making it to the summit and back down safely, and making new friends. We sing and dance and many guests join in, all with big smiles on their faces. Thanks to Edward Seth and his team for this video

World’s Highest Football Match in Kilimanjaro’s Crater

The FIFA Women's World Cup starts today! We love the game. Sports can inspire. It can bring people together. In 2017, an all-female soccer team set a world record for the highest elevation FIFA-rules soccer game. The match took place at nearly 19,000 feet in the Crater of Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the Equal Playing Field (EPF) project aimed at supporting women’s participation in sport. Want to know more? https://www.naturediscovery.com/worlds-highest-football-match-kilimanjaros-crater/

Market day in Longido is a joyous occasion! Here Sambeke, shares the vibrant culture of the Maasai with our guests. Everyone is encouraged to join in! https://www.naturediscovery.com/trekking/seasonal-camp-in-maasailand/

Guests arriving at their camp on Kilimanjaro are greeted by the singing and dancing of the Nature Discovery team, led by head guide Polite. What a welcome that the guests thoroughly enjoyed.

What is the rest-step method? When the altitude is high, the air is thin and breathing becomes difficult, so a slower pace is needed, and we use a staccato rhythm while walking. Step, rest, step, rest, step, rest – walking in time with your breathing, which helps you hike at a slow but steady pace. Walk too fast and you will be out of breath and need to rest more often.

Happy World Wildlife Day from the largest 4 legged mammal. What a majestic beast we spotted in Tarangire recently. I wonder what stories he can tell and how old he is. What a privilege to be so near

“The greatest show on Earth” or one of “The Ten Wonders of The Natural World”, as some describe it perfectly, has already started. Massive river crossings are occurring each day in the north of Serengeti National Park. This year, the circular Great Wildebeest Migration was a little unpredictable. The reason behind this is the low average rainfall we had during the long rainy season (March to May). We usually expect the numerous crossings from South to North when the herds head towards the Maasai Mara from mid-August to mid-September. But who said that Mother Nature is as regular as clockwork every year?!?! Since early July, guides and clients are reporting huge crossings at the Mara River on a daily basis.
