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 Lemosho route is considered a quiet and exciting 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.
