Mountains of East Africa

Mountains of East Africa

Most mountains in East Africa are doable by anybody with a reasonable fitness and good health. Other’s like Batian route on Mt Kenya require some experience in rock climbing, ropes, helmets and harnesses. The vast majority of guests want to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya or Mt Meru. Those who want to climb Oldonyo Lengai, the holy mountain of the Maasai, need to be quite strong and completely free of vertigo. The last eruption of this active volcano has carved its flanks even steeper than before.

High altitude

If you want to experience what it means to get higher than in Colorado or the Alps, take your time. The more days you spend on your way into high altitude, the better is your chance to acclimatize properly. Kilimanjaro should be climbed in no less than 7 days to give yourself the best chance to fulfil your dream of standing on the top of Africa. We have years of experience in organizing ethical, safe and professional expeditions on Kilimanjaro and other East African mountains.
