About our Trekking safaris
We offer an outstanding trekking experience.
Tanzania presents an incredible opportunity for travelers seeking an invigorating adventure holiday. This destination boasts outstanding natural features such as waterfalls, wildlife, and breathtaking scenery that can be experienced within its impressive national parks, towns, and villages. All of which are set against a backdrop of towering mountains, vast savannahs, calderas, craters, and the extraordinary Rift Valley.
One of the most preferred options is climbing Africa’s highest peak, Uhuru Peak – Mount Kilimanjaro, which crowns at an astounding 5,895 meters or 19,341 feet. However, there are various other possibilities available, including off-the-beaten-track locations that are just as fascinating to explore. Tanzania is an ideal choice for travelers seeking to experience Africa’s incredible natural beauty.

Are you planning a trek?
To plan a safe and enjoyable trek, consider your fitness, weather, permits, equipment, and guides. Our professional team can provide tailored guidance and assistance.
January, February, July, August, September, October. Within our predicted dry season, these months generally have dry conditions and good mountain weather making the trek more achievable. These are also the busiest months and you may find all routes are busy in this period.
March, June, November, December: These months generally are between our dry season and wet season where conditions are generally dry on the mountain however you may still experience some rain. These are generally great months for those looking to avoid the crowds as most will travel in the excellent time above.
April, May: Our predicted ‘long rain’ season in Tanzania where the chances of rain are high and downpours can be heavy (tropical!) and make trekking very difficult. For a seasoned mountaineer this can be a great time to avoid all of the crowds who usually skip these months.
Some options, tailored to suit the needs of all types of adventurers.
