Some info of the Kilimanjaro Tour...
Our Kilimanjaro tour for mountaineers! If you want to climb all alone on the roof of Africa you are right here!
Almost pathless and without footprints, the route leads through scree, short climbs on the "Moonlight Wall" and over the ice of the mighty Credner Glacier into the Reusch Crater and to the smoking "Ashpit" on the Kilimanjaro Tour. Definitely the most magnificent and creative route on the mountains of Africa! The mightiness and size of the glacier masses of the Northern Ice Field will surely surprise you when you climb Kilimanjaro with us. The descent from the glacier is exciting: a short rappel brings you to the bottom of the Reusch Crater. Our acclimatization concept with guide Hermann Berie is perfect on the Kilimanjaro tour. We hike slowly ascending through rainforests, moorlands and rocky lava formations across the Shira Plateau. From the last camp of the Kilimanjaro Tour at the "Lava Tower" the loneliness of this remote north side overwhelms you and you may enjoy this peace and exclusivity for yourself. Only on the descent via the Umbwe Route and Machame Route do we encounter other people again. This route definitely still has pioneer character and you will look at Kilimanjaro trekking with completely different eyes after the Kilimanjaro tour. The trip to Tanzania is worth it.
After the strenuous summit tour, we have prepared for you another compact, exciting safari. This is also part of the Kilimanjaro tour. The foot safari with a ranger in Meru National Park and two nights in the paradisiacal Tarangire Park will inspire you and round off your trip harmoniously!
