Enjoy hiking in a geothermal wonderland surrounded by colorful mountains, rhyolite hills and steaming fumaroles. After each day we have a prime opportunity to relax in the hot spring pool of Landmannalaugar. Our three day hiking tour to one of the most geothermally active areas of Iceland is ideal for all hikers and lovers of nature.

Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Eum eu sumo albucius perfecto, commodo torquatos consequuntur pro ut, id posse splendide ius. Cu nisl putent omittantur usu, mutat atomorum ex pro, ius nibh nonumy id. Nam at eius dissentias disputando, molestie mnesarchum complectitur per te. In commune pericula mediocritatem per. Cu audiam dolorum appareat per, id habeo suavitate argumentum vel. Te his eros ludus tibique.

Day 2

Aenean eu leo quam pellentesque ornare. Sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo.

Day 3

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Day 4

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, utinam munere antiopam vel ad. Qui eros iusto te. Nec ad feugiat honestatis. Quo illum detraxit an. Ius eius quodsi molestiae at, nostrum definitiones his cu. Discere referrentur mea id, an pri novum possim deterruisset.

Questions & Answers

Who are your operators in Tanzania?

We are. We are not agents for anybody, but run the treks ourselves through our own Tanzanian company. So you can rest assured that whoever you speak to in our company has climbed Kilimanjaro, and probably many times.

What kind of food will I eat on Kilimanjaro?

Highly-trained chefs prepare three hot nutritious meals daily, as well as trail snacks and afternoon tea each day. You’ll eat all your meals in a solar-lit dining tent with your fellow trekkers and head guide. Delicious vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other specialty meals can be provided (with advance request). We’re happy to send you a sample menu—just ask!

What kind of hiking experience do I need?

None, but previous hiking or climbing experience will help. You need to be fit and healthy and have a good pair of worn-in hiking boots. The fitter you are the more you are likely to enjoy it.

What if I have special dietary requirements?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, celiac, lactose-free, or if you have any allergies, just give us a heads up and you will be catered to.

What are the accommodations like on Mount Kilimanjaro?

Accommodation on Mount Kilimanjaro is comfortable and well-supported. Our experienced camp porters set up and break down camp daily. You’ll stay in spacious, all-weather tents on a double-occupancy basis, using three-person tents for extra space, complete with ground pads to keep you warm and dry. Each camp includes private toilet tents, solar-lit dining tents with tables and chairs, and warm water for washing. On the Marangu Route, accommodation is in mountain huts or cabins instead of tents.

I would like to book but I have group is large group, is this a problem?

We aim to keep the size of the public groups to a minimum, as we feel that a group that is much larger than ten trekkers is cumbersome and trekkers lose the sense that they are in a wilderness if there are too many people. That said, if you are a single, private group, then there is no problem accommodating you whatever the size of the group, as, of course, you will be aware before arriving in Tanzania of the number of people you will be trekking with.

How many hours will I trek each day?

On most routes, you’ll trek 4-7 hours most days. On certain routes you’ll trek as many as 10-15 hours on the longest days.

How long is the Kilimanjaro hike?

There are at least six routes to the top, of Uhuru peak. You will hike between 53 and 73km depending on which route you choose. The shortest and toughest is the 5-day Umbwe route. Allowing extra days will help you to acclimatize better and improve your chances of reaching the summit. The easiest and most popular route is Marangu (which can be done in five), but we use six days for this route.

How high is Kilimanjaro?

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. Its highest point is Uhuru Peak on the Kibo crater at 5895m above sea level.

Do You Offer Private and Fully Customizable Climbs For Kilimanjaro

Your Kilimanjaro dream climb is entirely your own to design. We will work with you to customize exactly the triumphant Tanzanian mountainous quest experience you want. You go with the people you choose. You leave on whatever day you wish. You decide on your preferred route option, pace, and the number of days you will take.

When is the best time to climb Kilimanjaro?

Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed anytime throughout the year. Most travelers prefer climbing during the dry seasons: December to March, June to October. Many consider the best months to climb Kilimanjaro to be January, February, and September.

Do we tip the Kilimanjaro hiking crew?

Yes. Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated. The recommended amount typically ranges from USD 150–450 per hiker, depending on the number of trekking days and group size. Tips are pooled and fairly shared among the entire crew. Please bring US dollar bills.

Are there charging stations on Mount Kilimanjaro?

There are no charging stations on Mount Kilimanjaro. We recommend bringing Power Banks and spare batteries.

What travel documents do I need?

You will need a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond your dates of travel with an entry or re-entry visa, duly endorsed.
