Kilimanjaro Expedition
INFINITY

When was the last time you did something that seemed impossible?

Climb to Uhuru Peak, the summit of Kilimanjaro and the highest point in Africa, at 5,895 metres altitude. Watch the sunrise over an entire continent, with glaciers shining all around you. A moment etched forever.

The expedition is designed and led by Pedro Queirós, who has stood at the top of the world and returned to share what he learned. We've chosen the Lemosho Route, one of the most scenic and least crowded on the mountain, with more days of ascent for gradual and safe acclimatisation.

"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."

Frequently asked questions

Do I need mountaineering experience?

No technical experience is needed: the Lemosho Route is a trek. The toughest day is summit day, with 12 to 16 hours of walking.

How does acclimatisation work?

We start with two days in Moshi and follow the Lemosho Route, which climbs gradually: we pass the Lava Tower (4,600 m) and sleep lower down, at Barranco (3,900 m).

What are the camps like?

Every camp has a dining tent and a private toilet. Meals are prepared by our local team of cooks.

Are insurance and visa included?

Yes. The price includes the visa and insurance with high-altitude rescue cover. International flights are not included.

Can I add a safari?

Yes, as an optional 3-day extension in Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Social commitment: 3% of your trip supports local communities in Tanzania.
