Kilimanjaro: Tanzania

Summit Africa’s highest peak on a 9-day Kilimanjaro trek. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime as we embark on a multi-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro—one of the famed Seven Summits and Africa’s tallest peak at 19,341 feet. Our gradual route allows time to acclimate and fully appreciate the changing landscapes, from lush rainforest filled with wildlife to alpine deserts and glaciers. On summit day, we’ll reach Uhuru Peak (“freedom” in Swahili), taking in breathtaking sunrise views from the roof of Africa before descending to celebrate our accomplishment.

Return to Materuni for reflection and deeper cultural connection. After returning from the mountain we’ll spend another day contributing to local projects and reconnecting with our friends in Materuni. This experience gives us a chance to reflect on our journey, deepen our understanding of Kilimanjaro: Tanzanian culture, and appreciate the hospitality of the communities that welcomed us.

Safari the Serengeti and witness Africa’s legendary wildlife migration. We’ll travel west to the legendary Tarangire National Park, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife reserves. Known as the “endless plains,” this UNESCO World Heritage Site teems with life—from herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles to lions, cheetahs, and elephants. On safari drives through the park, we’ll witness the incredible diversity of animals that call the Serengeti home and experience Africa’s wilderness up close.

To wrap up our journey, we’ll unwind on the tranquil shores of Pangani, a serene coastal town on the Indian Ocean. Beneath the surface, these protected waters teem with over 425 species of fish, 35 types of coral, and vibrant sea life including the island’s endemic shrimp species. We’ll snorkel among the reefs where endangered green sea turtles still swim, then move through winding mangrove channels to learn about these vital coastal ecosystems. We’ll end our trip celebrating our unforgettable time together in Tanzania.
