At 5,895 metres (19,341 ft), Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain but reaching the summit is about much more than fitness. Good preparation, proper acclimatization and the right support team can make all the difference.

🥾 You don’t need technical climbing skills Kilimanjaro is a trekking mountain, but the altitude makes it a serious challenge.

📅 Give yourself enough time longer routes allow your body more time to acclimatize and can improve your chances of reaching the summit.

🎒 Pack for changing conditions during one climb, you’ll experience everything from warm lower slopes to freezing temperatures near the summit.

🐢 “Pole pole” slowly, slowly maintaining a steady pace and staying hydrated are important parts of acclimatizing.

👣 Your mountain crew matters experienced guides monitor your progress, help manage altitude and support you throughout the journey.

Planning a Tanzania safari? 🇹🇿 Here are 5 things to know before you book. 🦁

1️⃣ Wildlife sightings are never staged.
That lion sitting beside our safari vehicle? That’s the beauty of a real safari — every encounter happens naturally and every game drive is different.

2️⃣ Your guide makes a huge difference.
A knowledgeable local guide knows how to read animal behaviour, find wildlife and turn a sighting into an experience you’ll remember.

3️⃣ Don’t rush your itinerary.
Tanzania has so much to see. Allow enough time to enjoy the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and other incredible areas rather than simply ticking parks off a list.

4️⃣ The “best time” depends on what you want to see.
Tanzania offers fantastic safari experiences throughout the year, but wildlife movements, landscapes and experiences change with the seasons.

5️⃣ Sometimes the best safari moments happen when you simply stop and watch.
Like our guests here — engine off, cameras ready and a lion just metres away. 🦁📸

🏔️ KILIMANJARO CLIMBING ESSENTIALS

Thinking of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro? Here are a few essentials to know before taking on Africa’s highest mountain.

🥾 The right footwear
Good, waterproof hiking boots that are already broken in are essential. Trekking poles are also very useful, particularly on steep or loose terrain.

🧥 Dress in layers
Conditions change considerably as you gain altitude. Lightweight trekking clothes at lower elevations give way to warm layers, gloves, hats and insulated jackets as you approach the summit.

💧 Hydration matters
Drink regularly throughout the day. Staying well hydrated is an important part of looking after yourself at altitude.

🐢 Pole Pole
“Pole Pole” means slowly, slowly in Swahili and it’s one of the most important lessons on Kilimanjaro. A slow, steady pace gives your body more time to adjust to the altitude.

⛰️ Acclimatisation is important
Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895m at Uhuru Peak. Choosing an appropriate route and allowing enough days on the mountain can improve acclimatisation and make the climb more manageable.

🎒 Be prepared for changing conditions
Sun, wind, cold and rain can all be part of the Kilimanjaro experience, so having the correct clothing and equipment makes a big difference.

👣 And don't underestimate the importance of your mountain crew.
Experienced guides and a strong support team are an essential part of a safe, well-organised Kilimanjaro climb.

📸 A few moments from our Shah Tours climbers on their journey from the trail to Uhuru Peak – 5,895m, the Roof of Africa.

June is officially here, which means prime safari season in Tanzania is underway! While the wildlife viewing is at its peak, the crisp June breeze can catch first-time travelers off guard.

​If you're heading out with us soon, here is how to master safari layering:

​🥶 The Morning Chill: Dawn game drives are surprisingly cold. You will absolutely want a warm fleece, a windproof jacket, and long pants for those early hours.

​☀️ The Midday Warmth: By noon, the African sun is out in full force. Layering ensures you can easily transition down to a light shirt.

​🌿 The Safari Palette: Stick to neutral, earthy tones. Khakis and tans keep you cool, effortlessly camouflage the safari dust, and help keep insects away.

​Ready to pack your bags and experience scenes like this in person?

​Step into one of our custom vehicles and experience the unforgettable magic of spotting a leopard lounging high in the treetops. 🐆
