Choose your own date for your Expedition Kilimanjaro

If you're traveling alone or with your own group,
you can choose your own date for the 11-day Expedition Kilimanjaro.

You can choose to travel with a scheduled expedition group. Then you'll hike together with other travelers (or on some dates with international travelers).

The current group dates can be found in the calendar on the homepage.

You can also choose your own date for your own group or for a private expedition. The price stays the same.

When planning your trip, it's important that your flight aligns with the expedition dates. Always maintain a travel duration of 11 days: arrival on day 1, departure on day 11.
