Kilimanjaro | June 2025

INFORMATION

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Situated in the Northern part of Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano with three volcanic cones, “Kibo”, “Mawenzi” and “Shira”. The summit is called Uhuru Peak and stands at 5,895m above sea level.

The Machame route, also referred to as the Whiskey route, is one of the most popular routes on Kilimanjaro. It is a very scenic route with incredible views and varying landscapes. It is known to be a tough climb compared to other routes, however, the Machame route has a higher summit success rate. There are no parts on the route that require any technical climbing skill. The topography of the route allows climbers to ‘trek high and sleep low’, making it more favourable.

This Ultra Adventure will take you 8 days from start to finish. You will reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, making memories and friends that will last a life time.
