Our Safari Overview
This is the go-to Kilimanjaro package for most hikers that doubt themselves and their ability to reach the top. The route takes a different path and different stops and compared to the stella point route it more direct and focusses more on ascending. There is no point where you will descend a little to acclimatize.
The total number of days for the package is 10 days (8 days hiking 1 day of arrival 1 day for departure). The arrival and departure days include airport transfers and a night at a hotel. If you are already in the country then the arrival and departure days should be disregarded. We’ve also provided two sets of prices for the full package 10 days and prices for just the 8 days of the climb.
