For the adventurous, a mountain trek to the "Roof of Africa" before the Safari:
These treks do not require specialist rock or ice climbing expertise. Coping with the altitude and thinner air provides the biggest challenge at Mount Kilimanjaro and can affect climbers regardless of their fitness capabilities. Our preferred routes are ones with the better acclimatisation profiles.
