Tanzania

The home of the mighty Kilimanjaro, Tanzania is the perfect introduction to Africa for those visiting the continent for the first time. Home to the Serengeti and the Ngororo crater and its rich abundance of spectacular wildlife but also the highest mountain in Africa. My advice for those attempting to climb the 5893m peak is to train properly and give yourself enough time to summit safely. Don’t underestimate Kilimanjaro, but respect it and you will have an experience you will never forget. Take a raincoat and plenty of warm clothes and don’t forget those immortal words, ‘pole, pole’, meaning slowly slowly and repeated by the porters and guides like a mantra. An experience you will never forget as you look out over the roof of Africa.
