6 ROUTES — 6 TO 9 DAYS — LOCAL EXPERTS

Choose your route

Lemosho and the Northern Circuit offer longer, quieter acclimatisation. Machame brings dramatic scenery, while Marangu offers hut accommodation. We will match the route to your pace, experience and dates.

Best time to climb

January–March and June–October are our favourite climbing seasons. Tanzania's mountain weather can change quickly, so our guides choose the safest pace and camps every day.

Climb with confidence

Park fees, an experienced local mountain crew, quality meals, camping equipment, emergency oxygen and careful daily health checks are included on every Ascent Wild Safaris departure.
