Kilimanjaro & Mt Meru Climbing & Trekking

Scaling the mountain can be a daunting prospect, but no technical climbing skills are needed, so most people can succeed. It is far from easy and should not be undertaken lightly; but with good guiding, correct preparation, a suitable choice of route and staying aware of your body’s needs, there is no reaon why you should not make it to the top.
Mama Africa safaris offers guided groups and private climbs on a selection of the best of Kilimanjaro's routes during your time in Tanzania.

When to climb Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro can be climbed all year round but some months are inevitably better than others, so the climb season runs from mid-December to the end of February and from mid-June to the end of October. Climbing at other times can be pretty tough in terms of weather and logistics.
We pride ourselves on offering routes away from the main, overcrowded climbs, focusing on routes that give you the full wilderness experience that a Kilimanjaro climb should offer.

Climbing Mt Meru
We also arrange climbs on Mt Meru, which - though dwarfed by its imposing neighbour 50kms to the east - is one of Africa’s most elegant peaks.
It can also be used as a good acclimatization climb before ascending Kilimanjaro. With Kilimanjaro firmly in the limelight, Mt Meru is largely forgotten and offers the opportunity to climb in an almost pristine mountain environment.
