On Top of Africa: The Kilimanjaro Climbing Handbook
Standing majestically at 5,895 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak and one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders. Known as the ‘Roof of Africa,’ this dormant volcano offers adventurers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to trek through diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to arid alpine deserts, all the way to its snow-capped summit, Uhuru Peak.
At MyTrip2Tanzania, we tailor every step of your Kilimanjaro experience, ensuring you have expert guides, personalised itineraries, and the best chance to conquer the ‘Roof of Africa.’ Whether you’re an experienced climber or a first-timer, our team is here to guide you safely to the top while you take in the unforgettable beauty and life-changing views.
The adventure begins here.
1 Day-Trip: A Taste of Kilimanjaro
Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut day hike, this shorter trek allows you to experience some of the beauty of Kilimanjaro without attempting the full summit.
The oldest route on Kilimanjaro, the Marangu route or ‘Coca Cola route’ is the shortest (in days) and therefore cheapest way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s also considered the easiest Kilimanjaro route.

The Rongai Route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north, near the Kenyan border, this route has low crowds and passes through remote wilderness areas. It is probably the only route were seeing wildlife in the first days is possible

Awesome experience: Kilimandscharo & Safari.
We did a 6-day Kilmandscharo hike (Machame route) and a 5-day Safari.Both our activities were extremely well organised by my MyTrip2Tanzania, including personal pick-up from the airport and all other necessary shuttles during the time.When I had to descent early from the mountain due to altitude sickness, MyTrip2Tanzania was not only looking for my well-being but also filling my spare time with other activities: showing me the town of Arusha, taking me to an art gallery and the hot springs for relaxing. All of this was free of charge!On top of this, Philbert invited us to his home for dinner. He is a genuinely nice person, who is interested to provide the best service for his customers.All in all we had an extraordinary experience in Tanzania, getting to experience the Kilimandscharo mountain and being on an amazing Safari while seeing the Big Five.Thank you very much, MyTrip2Tanzania, especially Philbert for making this happen.P.S.: the food on the hike and the safari was extremely fresh and well prepared – what a tasty treat!

Great Hiking Experience
Thank you Philbert, Amany and Dream Team for this amazing experience! We Just have finished our Kilimandscharo Tour and can just recommend MyTrip2Tanzania. First there is Philbert, who did a great job organizing a tour just one day after we get his number from a group of students that recommends him. Than there is Amany our guide who did great job guiding us up to the summit and also providing us lots of interessting facts about the Kili. Last but not least there is the crew, that calls it self the Dream-Team. And what should I say, they really are! One thing I want to point out about the team is that it really seemed like that have fun together and enjoy their Job, even if it is really hard work. Seeing them laughing and smiling makes us feel very welcome!What else to say, the food at the mountain was great, the service of the crew was an eleven out of ten, the equipment (tent, sleeping bag etc.) was more than sufficient, and the price ist fair.At the end I just want to say thank you to all that make that experience possible!

Perfect time in Tanzania!
We traveled together with a friend to Tanzania in September. Philbert was extremely nice, starting from organizing everything to the last detail and finishing with being very flexible and accustoming to all our wishes. He made our safari experience unforgettable, we also learned A LOT about all the animals, since he was always sharing interesting facts about them. The places he picked out for living were also nice. Basically he took care of everything and we felt very safe and comfortable the whole trip. Generally he is a very nice, trustworthy, had working person who prioritizes his clients and is genuinely trying to make them happy- and this you can definitely feel throughout the whole trip.We would definitely recommend him to everyone who is looking for an unforgettable experience in Afrika’s safaris.
