Our first leopard sighting about 5 minutes after safari began. You can't miss. (Photo by Adam Angel).
There is more to a Kilimanjaro climb than simply standing on the roof of Africa.  No doubt the mountain is impressive, but there is also a vibrant and organic quality to the whole experience. In 2012 we are furthering the experience by hosting our own Private Safari Camps. There are many huge benefits to this unique bush experience. Settle in at night to the sound of distant wildlife, and wake up to birdsong. No noisy lodges! A great reward after a tough climb.
We choose the best places to set up our camps, and our support vehicles travel ahead of us to ready the site. When we arrive you’ll find a deluxe camp with comfortable beds, good linens, and en suite toilets. Hot showers are provided by the crew and all meals are freshly prepared by our chef.
We’ll experience the landscape as we journey through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our safari drivers really know the game habits and how to find the best viewing. We will continue to include of a beautiful one-way Serengeti flight. It is far easier and allows more time to see animals with less time wasted on rough roads.

It’s incredibly rewarding to start the climb in a lush rainforest and climb into the Arctic conditions on the summit of Kili. Every day is a new experience and a dramatic contrast from the day before. Â That’s what we like so much about Kilimanjaro.
