The rooftop of Africa awaits! Yes, you can climb one of the "Seven Summits!" Bio Bio Expeditions has a 90% success rate of guests reaching the top of Kilimanjaro. All ages and abilities have had the honor of summiting this beautiful mountain. Rising up out of the African savannah, snow capped Kilimanjaro is a wonder to behold. We combine the climb with game viewing safaris in some of Africa's most famous parks and can also arrange for a visit to the white sand beaches of Zanzibar. Nothing compares to standing on the summit of Africa's highest peak!
Our team comes together in the town of Arusha with the alpenglow of the mountain in the distance. The route we've chosen is the Modified Shira Route which takes us through many different climate zones, offers fabulous views, has fewer crowds and provides better acclimatization! Porters carry all of our gear (under strict weight regulations for their health and safety). You only need a day pack, your hiking shoes and of course, a camera. Our days are spent trekking at a comfortable pace with frequent rest stops. We arrive at camp after it's already set up with your 4 season North Face tents and we dine in a sturdy Mountain Hardware "Space Station." Professional mountain guides well trained in emergencies and the signs and symptoms of altitude sickness accompany the team the entire way. Depending on the pace of the group, we arrive at the summit, Uhuru Peak, 19,340 feet, just after sunrise. What a spectacular moment! Over the next 2 days we descend all the way back to the cloud forest and go on to explore the incredible wildlife of Africa.
