It is beautiful and impressive to watch a full moon at home, but a very special experience awaits you on the "Roof of Africa". Together with your guide and without a headlamp, you climb one of the most beautiful mountains in the world around midnight and when the glaciers glitter in the moonlight, it is absolutely breathtaking. The moon, the sea of lights of Moshi and not far away the last ice giants of Kibo. Everything seems close enough to touch! When you arrive at Stella Point, you experience another highlight. The sun slowly moves over the African continent in dark red - orange - yellow colors. You are just before the summit of "Uhuru Peak". A very impressive moment!

This is what your trip could look like!

InfoTo get in the mood and acclimatize, you can optionally climb Mt. Meru (4,566 m) beforehand and thus be well prepared and adapted to the height of the summit regions of Kilimanjaro. Climbing Kilimanjaro on the Machame route is considered the most beautiful and impressive ascent option. Dense rainforest is followed by moorland, heathland and rocky alpine desert until you reach the glacier zone. You will enjoy the incomparable mountain experience with many breathtaking views over the vastness of Africa! An optional but highly recommended safari or a relaxing stay on Zanzibar rounds off the trip. We are also happy to receive your inquiry about a safari in the northern safari parks of Tanzania (Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara National Park) or a safari in the southern national parks. We can also highly recommend a trip to Zanzibar for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on snow-white sandy beaches. Safari Njema!
