Step into the new year with an experience you'll remember forever: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with your closest friends. This private expedition follows the iconic Marangu Route — known as the Silver Mangaru Route — often described as one of the most accessible and popular paths to the summit. With nearly 40% of climbers choosing this route, it's the perfect balance of comfort and adventure, featuring cozy mountain huts powered by solar lighting.
Perfect for adventurous spirits with little mountain experience, this moderate trek combines challenge with comfort. You'll stay in mountain huts with solar lighting, and each day reveals a new landscape — from lush rainforests to barren alpine plateaus, all leading to the awe-inspiring summit.
But the true highlight? Reaching Uhuru Peak just as the sun rises on New Year’s Day. Watch the first light of 2026 spill across glaciers, the Rift Valley, and the endless African plains nearly three miles below. It’s an unforgettable way to mark a new beginning — high above the world, with panoramic views and lifelong memories.
This isn’t just a trek — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime journey to celebrate a new year in the most extraordinary way possible.
