Tanzania is home to Africa’s most vast and unique wilderness
areas, the highest mountain in the continent, unique wildlife
and vibrant culture. It is a land for expanding lenses,
and shifting perspectives. The oldest evidence of human
life has been discovered here, and it has been coined by
archaeologists “The cradle of humankind.” On this expedition
in Tanzania, you will immerse yourself in the adventure,
the culture and the wilderness of Tanzania. You’ll visit a
traditional Maasai Village and connect with communities in
need. You will take a week long expedition to the Roof of
Africa and climb the 19,341-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro. You’ll
also get to explore Serengeti National park, the Ngorongoro
Crater, and see wildlife that only exists in this part of
the world. This trip combines richness of adventure travel
with the depth of experience that comes with giving back.

“My favorite moment of the trip was standing at the summit
of Kilimanjaro with my 14 brothers and sisters. Never felt so proud, happy, relieved, and exhausted at the same time.”

Fly to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

group. Once you have all

on East African time and

schools for rural communities. You’ll orient yourself to your African
experience by getting to know and working with these students at
their school, and touring their homes and villages. Past projects

garden to playing soccer with primary and secondary school
children. You’ll get to know the students who will invite you to join
them on afternoon hikes and games. These days will be packed with
adventure and immersion as you give back to the communities you’ll
be learning about. There’s no better way to experience a place then

Travel from the Lake Manyara region to the base
of Mt. Kilimanjaro, where you’ll prepare yourself
for an entire week of mountaineering to the
roof of Africa. You’ll spend a day meeting your
expedition team which will include six guides and
thirty porters. Towering over the landscape for
miles and miles, you’ll be able to finally get up
close and personal with this iconic mountain.
You’ll begin climbing on the Machame Route
which will take you through five entirely different
ecosystems. You’ll pass through the foothills to
a tropical montane forest, through moorland,
to alpine desert and finally to the arctic ice cap
summit. You’ll camp on the slopes, and spend your
days cruising through incredible landscapes and
changing flora and fauna as you increase altitude.
On day 5 of your climb, you’ll
awaken in the early morning for a
summit bid of Uhuru peak as the
sun rises at a staggering 19,341
feet. Standing on the roof of this
spectacular continent, you’ll see
the expanse of Tanzania below you
from the rim of a glaciated arctic
crater. Kilimanjaro is a lifetime
climb, and this experience will be
an unforgettable accomplishment
for you and your team. After your
summit celebration, spend the next
two days descending down the
mountain from above the clouds,
and enjoying the view.
You and your group will hop in
the Land Cruisers and set out for
the Ngorongoro Crater, which
Tanzanians like to refer to as the
eighth wonder of the world. Here
you will visit a Maasai village. These
semi nomadic people are known for
their rich traditions, colorful dress,
livestock practices, and for their
commitment to maintaining their
cultural heritage. An afternoon in
a Maasai manyatta will widen your
lens on ways to live on and with
the planet, and give you a deeper
appreciation for the diversity of
the human experience.

and professional guides will take you to see
the majestic creatures of Tanzania in their
natural wild habitat.
Travel to Arusha and celebrate this incredible
journey at a f inal banquet before going your
separate ways. Recount and relive all the
