THE SUMMIT EXTENSION
A once-in-a-lifetime ascent to Africa’s highest peak, a climb that tests your limits and leaves you feeling transformed.
The Kilimanjaro Summit Extension invites you to push beyond the familiar, timed in the best season to climb, when conditions are clear, skies calm, and views breathtaking.
Over 7–8 days, you’ll trek from lush rainforest to alpine deserts and glaciered peaks, following carefully designed routes that promote altitude acclimatization, giving both first-time trekkers and seasoned climbers the best chance of reaching the summit.
With expert guides, full expedition support, and every detail taken care of, each step is safe, steady, and spectacular. When you stand atop Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the Roof of Africa, you’ll see the world and yourself from a new perspective.
