Do you dream of climbing Africa's highest mountain? With Expedition Kilimanjaro you'll trek in 7 days via the Machame Route to the legendary summit. You'll start in the green rainforest of northeastern Tanzania and steadily ascend to a world of glaciers and eternal snow all the way to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).
Each stage reveals new landscapes – from tropical green to moon-like high plains – and gives you that indescribable feeling of freedom on the roof of Africa.
Whether you're an experienced trekker or planning your first major mountain journey, we ensure a safe, enjoyable and unforgettable experience: professional (English-speaking) guides, personal preparation and a complete package at a transparent price.
5,895 meters. The roof of Africa. Your achievement.
Mount Kilimanjaro is not an ordinary hike, it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. From green rainforests you walk to a world of glaciers and eternal snow, all the way to the mythical summit at 5,895 meters, the roof of Africa!
"Can you already see yourself standing here?"
Since 2008 Ramon Stoppelenburg has organized a fully arranged 11-day program: 7 days Machame Route + 4 hotel nights in Arusha (two days before and after the climb). We work with small groups (max. 12) for personal attention and safety. Our certified Tanzanian guides have years of experience and guide you with calm, knowledge and enthusiastic humor to the summit.
Maximum 10 participants for focus and safety
Certified, first aid and rescue training
Permits, meals, porters and transfers included
No surprises afterwards
The Machame Route offers an ideal mix of challenge, good acclimatization and views. You walk through dense jungle, across the Shira plateau and along the Barranco valley. On the night of day 6 to 7 you undertake the walk to the summit, so that you stand on Uhuru Peak around sunrise.

The best option is to fly directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport for maximum convenience. Round-trip flights from Amsterdam often cost around €750. Alternative: fly to Nairobi (Kenya) and take a shuttle bus to Arusha (approx. $70 round trip). Turkish Airlines also offers competitive rates with a direct route Istanbul → Kilimanjaro.

"What an incredible week we had. We suffered, laughed, got emotional, ate well, saw beautiful things, complained, and had tremendous respect for our guides Joseph, John and Robert and the rest of the support team. A week we'll never forget!"
