The highest peak in Africa and the tallest free standing mountain on earth! Beginning and experienced trekkers alike are welcome on our non-technical guided climb to the summit of this magnificent peak. Our wonderful local African staff allows you to fully enjoy the trip because you need only carry a light pack while someone else sets up camp and cleans the dishes. Unlike many companies, experienced American mountain guides lead all our Kilimanjaro climbs. Also, we fly in and out of Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania, giving you more time to explore and relax while avoiding long transit times.
Our trip combines an ascent of “Kili” with one of the most outstanding safaris in all of Africa, making this trip an adventure of a lifetime. You will discover Africa is an exciting and diverse continent which will enchant and delight the adventurer in everyone.
We offer two exciting routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro The Classic Machame and The Umbwe. Although these routes require no technical experience, a healthy physical condition and a strong desire to stand on one of the world’s seven summits are required. You can feel at ease with Africa Action leading the way; we have been providing guided adventures on Kilimanjaro since 1993 and have built a strong reputation in the guiding industry with over 27 years experience worldwide.
