7 Days / 6 Nights Tanzania Mid Range Safari Mt. Kilimanjaro

7-Day Machame Route The Scenic Kilimanjaro Adventure

An Unforgettable 7-Day Mid Range Safari Experience in Tanzania

Safari Overview & Highlights

Mount Kilimanjaro lies just three degrees south of the equator in northeastern Tanzania. Standing at 5,895 meters, it is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. This iconic peak is formed by three volcanic cones Shira, Mawenzi, and the highest, Kibo which is home to the summit  Uhuru Peak.

The 7-Day Machame Route  often called the Whiskey Route  is one of the most scenic and popular paths to the summit. This route offers a gradual ascent that allows for better acclimatization while taking climbers through a variety of breathtaking landscapes  from lush rainforest and moorland to alpine desert and glacial summit zones.

At Colours African Tours and Safaris  we organize expertly guided climbs throughout the year with daily departures available. Our experienced mountain guides and dedicated support team ensure a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable journey as you trek through Kilimanjaro’s diverse ecosystems toward the Roof of Africa.
