1. Climb Kilimanjaro


One of the Seven Summits

The five climates of Kilimanjaro

I climbed Kilimanjaro last year with Follow Alice and it was an unforgettable experience!! All the planning was made at their side and I just enjoyed the beautiful climb – so simple and well delivered.
Follow Alice's favourite Kilimanjaro routes
Lemosho route , which takes 7 or 8 days and is the most beautiful route Northern Circuit route , which takes 9 days and is one of the least crowded routes Machame route , which takes 6 or 7 days and is the most popular route
The Machame, Lemosho and Northern Circuit routes are great for acclimatisation because of the many ‘climb high, sleep low’ opportunities they offer.
