We're once again pleased to partner with Dave Ashley and DASH Adventures for another international adventure !
Kilimanjaro stands at an impressive 5,895 m/19,340 ft above sea level, making it the highest free-standing mountain globally and earning it the title of the "Roof of Africa." Mount Kilimanjaro is a top travel destination on the continent, attracting over 40,000 visitors annually. Its popularity is due to its stunning beauty and the fact that climbers do not need advanced technical skills to conquer it. A good level of fitness is all that is required to reach the summit, which is why many choose to start their Seven Summits journey with this iconic mountain.
The Machame Route, also known as the "Whiskey Route," is the most popular path up the mountain. It offers spectacular views and excellent acclimatization. Starting at Machame Gate on the southern slope of Mount Kilimanjaro, this route takes trekkers through various climatic zones, from tropical forest to the Arctic desert zone at the summit.
Dave Ashley, Mount Everest and 7 summits climber will be the trip leader for this adventure. He's summited Kilimanjaro 5 times before, so you're in great hands!
Once you've conquered Kili, join us on an optional 4-day Safari, exploring Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater National Park. This optional add-on requires a separate booking. To book, visit the DASH booking site.
