Venture into Tanzania’s towering giants with Simba Safaris where climbing is not merely a physical feat but an ascent straight to the top and centre of Tanzania’s natural wonders. We offer a journey where peaks touch the sky and where every climbing step is a reflection of the human spirit. Our passion for exploration and safety ensures that you conquer two iconic summits – Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Greet a world where the air is thin, the views are something else, and the experience is perfectly splendid.
The heart of Tanzania beats atop the summit of Kilimanjaro, a world-renowned icon of adventure. But the draw of this journey is not simply of conquering a peak. Rather, it is more about witnessing the magic of a diverse landscape. At Simba Safaris, we lead climbers from all over to tread upon the rooftop of Africa.
Mount Kilimanjaro stands alone as the highest freestanding mountain on the planet. Every step of a Kilimanjaro Climb leads to new revelations as the climate zones transition from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, and finally, to a glaciated summit.
Kilimanjaro offers a variety of routes, each with its own attraction and challenge. Simba Safaris guides you along legendary trails like the Machame, Marangu, or Lemosho routes. It’s done so that we can tailor ascents to match the skills and preferences of climbers.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is not just about reaching the summit – it's about the adventures undertaken along the way. You’ll get to form bonds with fellow trekkers, share stories around campfires, and be humbled by the power of nature. In this regard, we at Simba Safaris ensure that every aspect the Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro experience is memorable.
In our hearts beats a deep love for Tanzania, a place we hold in the highest regard. Our mission is to share the warmth and friendly spirit of the Tanzanian communities with every guest who goes on this incredible journey. To achieve this, we've assembled a team of expert hosts, guides, and excursion managers who share our passion for this country. It's our dream and privilege to open its entrances to people from around the world. We eagerly anticipate the day we welcome you to Tanzania, to share the special gift that is this extraordinary land.
Hidden within the Tanzanian wilderness, Mount Meu stands as a treasure house of adventures. While it may be overshadowed by Kilimanjaro, it holds a special charm as well. This dormant volcano serves as an ideal stepping stone, as it’s often considered the perfect training ground for conquering Kilimanjaro.
With Simba Safaris, climbers will get to fully delight in its spirit. Our expert guides, chosen for their local knowledge and love of the mountains, ensure you reveal the layers of each secret and safely reach the summit.
The dry months of January to March and June to October are considered the best times for climbing Kilimanjaro. These months offer clear skies and good trekking conditions. Avoid the long-rain period from April to May.
Climbers must be at least 10 years old to ascend Mount Meru and 12 years old for Kilimanjaro.
While both mountains require a good level of fitness, Mount Meru can serve as a preparatory climb for Kilimanjaro. It helps making it accessible to a wider range of hikers. Note that Altitude is a main problem at Kilimanjaro, and thus the Clients should actively prepare for the Climb.
Mount Kilimanjaro is generally considered more challenging due to its higher altitude and longer duration. Mount Meru is an excellent choice for those looking for a slightly less demanding climb.
Simba Safaris provides essential climbing equipment, including tents and sleeping bags. Though, personal items like clothing and footwear must be brought by climbers.
