TRIP INFO:

The most adventurous, but technical, climbing skills required. This trip is popular - a bit more expensive but worth it for frequent climbers. The climb crossing the rain forest gives you an open view of the glacier when you reach the Shira Plateau situated in the middle of the moorlands.

We have extremely qualified, knowledgeable and competent mountain guides/porters with whom the success of your climb will be greatly enhanced.

There are standard to luxurious lodges in Zanzibar. We have chosen the Serena Inn in Stone Town on Zanzibar and Breezes Beach on the East Coast of Zanzibar where we are sure you will enjoy and experience the natural surroundings.
