✨ It seems like stars shine brighter in Africa?! ⭐️

That is correct! Most places here in Africa are less polluted with light. The darkness in these places enables the Milky Way to shine and sparkle in a phenomenal way 😍

Why is the Lemosho Route one of our favorites? 👇❤️

🏔 It is low crowded; perfect if you want to enjoy the remoteness of the mountain.
🏔 One of the most scenic routes; stunning panoramic views on various sides of the mountain.
🏔 Very high success rate; the more days of the route, the more time to acclimate and some short walking days before summit attempt.
🏔 Higher high camp for sleep; which gives you a heads up for summit night.

Which one is your favorite route up to Mount Kilimanjaro and why? Let us know in the comments!

What our clients say 💭

🙌 Absolutely fantastic. Kilimanjaro and the 6-day Safari were excellently organized and well executed!
🦁 For the safari we were first in Ndutu where the migration was, then in Serengeti and then in Ngorongoro. The company planned the locations (we had no clue), but I think it could not have been better. Our guide, Jackson, did an incredible job of being in the right place at the right time. Of course there is a lot of luck involved when trying to watch wild animals, but Jackson certainly pushed luck our way.
🧑‍🍳 Charles (the chef) prepared lovely food for dinner, lunch, and breakfast.
🥰 If you can, don’t be part of a group but do it as a couple or a family. You will see more.

Thanks for your great feedback, Claudia & Jakob! For more feedback, look us up on TripAdvisor or Google Reviews.

Have you ever seen one of these?! 🌪

You might be able to see one of these so called “Dust Devils” on your safari! 🙃

It is a weather phenomenon which normally occurs under sunny weather conditions. They are a bit different than tornadoes, which occur due to a thunderstorm. Dust devils are usually harmless and pose no threat!

Every bird is special 👇

In the Serengeti you can observe more than 500 bird species; the perfect place for bird lovers!

Let’s have a look at some of the most colorful ones:
Pic 1: Lilac Breasted Roller – “Kambu” in Swahili. The lilac-breasted roller is not a dimorphic animal. Both females and males are equally as stunning and it’s hard to tell them apart. It is also the National bird of Kenya!

Pic 2: Brown Hooded Kingfisher – This bird eats mainly insects but due to a specially adapted bill, it also goes for dives to hunt fish and crabs. They have even been recorded to eat snakes and little birds sometimes.

Pics 3 & 4: Superb Starling – They are easy to spot. Adults have a black head and a blue-to-greenish back and wings. Their belly is red-orange and separated from the blue breast by a white bar.

Pic 5: Martial Eagle – They are Africa’s largest eagle and can actually break your arm. They are perfect hunters and can spot prey from up to 5 kilometers away!

One of the most Frequently Asked Questions we get when it comes to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is: What luggage should I pack?! 🧳

It is important to keep luggage to the bare minimum when on trek, as this will ease the burden of the drivers, vehicles, and porters. The baggage should be more of the round squishy type rather than hard suitcases that are difficult to fit into jeeps. Try to use something that is both lockable and waterproof as luggage can often end up sitting on the roof of a vehicle for transport.

It is a good idea to bring another smaller bag for unwanted clothes that can be kept at the hotel when you go on trek. This also helps to keep city clothes clean and free from dust. You should also bring a small day pack which can be carried while hiking/riding or can be readily accessible when you are traveling in the vehicles on long drives.
