WHAT TO EXPECT
Combining breathtaking landscapes and a variety of trekking and wildlife experiences, Africa is home to a range of magnificent mountains catering to the serious mountaineer, adventure enthusiast or families.
MOUNT KILIMANJARO
Challenge yourself to scale the world’s highest free standing mountain and highest peak of Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. With seven route options, be rewarded with spectacular views of varying terrains at different climatic zones. Take time to acclimatise, pace yourself with a well balanced itinerary and increase your chances of success in reaching the summit.
MOUNT KENYA
It is believed by geologists that Mount Kenya might have been higher than Everest. After fierce volcanic activity, several millennia past, the mountain has lost much its height. Ranked as Africa’s second highest peak at 4895m, Mount Kenya, while not as high as neighbouring Mount Kilimanjaro, is far more difficult to summit. The rocky trails are often steep but climbers are rewarded with amazing views and an enormous feeling of accomplishment.
SIMIEN MOUNTAINS
Melding Ethiopia’s rich cultural heritage with the spectacular ranges of the Great Rift Valley, Simien Mountains’ Ras Dashen peaks at 4553m, the highest point in Ethiopia. Hour walks along steep valleys and cliffs or multi-day hikes through different geological terrain and climates can be arranged. Be rewarded with sightings of rare endemic wildlife such as the elusive endangered Simien Fox (Ethiopian Wolf) and Waila Ibex or come face to face with families of Gelada baboons.
