Kilimanjaro

Standing at 5,895m, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and one of the most iconic trekking challenges on the planet. Elite Adventures’ Kilimanjaro event is designed for those who want more than just a tick-box expedition. This is a fully supported journey, built around preparation, teamwork, and earning the summit the right way. Over the course of the trek, you’ll pass through dramatically changing landscapes, from tropical rainforest and alpine desert to snow-covered summit slopes. Each day brings new physical and mental challenges, all guided by experienced professionals who prioritise safety, acclimatisation, and group success.

Reaching Uhuru Peak is an emotional and unforgettable moment, not just because of the altitude, but because of the journey it takes to get there.
