Highlights

Arusha to Londorossi Gate to Mti Mkubwa\n\nKilimanjaro National Park - Your driver and guide will pick you up at your accommodation right after breakfast and drive you towards Lemosho Gate.\n\nOn your way to Londorossi Gate you will have a great opportunity to stop along the way and grab lunch in a nearby local village, and purchase last minute supplies. You will then link up with your crew and begin hiking through the thick rainforest that covers the lower base of Kilimanjaro.\nOn your short 3 to four-hour hike to Mti Mkubwa (big tree) Camp, you will come across local wildlife such as the Colobus Monkey so keep your peepers peeled for more along the way.\n\n This is a great option if you want a longer trek for acclimatization. It meets up with the Machame Route, Shira route and Umbwe route at Barranco Camp

Most wonderful travel partner you can ask for in a remote land - Our adventure would have never been completed successfully if not for incredible mountain guides John and Chris from African Polecat. One of the primary reasons I reached out to APT (African Polecat Travel) is because of their membership in KPAP (Kili porter assistance program) which assures porters are treated ethically and paid their well-deserved wages. Our experience with APT is top notch from my first contact enquiring about the trip. James, who is the CEO of the company was in direct contact, answered all our questions and provided the best quote for the combination of Kili, safari and Zanzibar trip we asked him to put together. Always, prompt with his WhatsApp communication. When we got down, his person was at the JRO airport to pick us up, upgraded us to Forest Hill carnival hotel and made sure that we are comfortable before calling the first day. Mountain guides John and Chris showed up early next morning, did the equipment check, took us to the hiking rental place to collect missing equipment and we are on our way to the mountain. The incredible support, motivation provided by the guides, the friendliest porter group with professional attitude, AFT has the best crew you can ask for in a remote country when you set out to do your life time dream adventure. The last day climbing summit was brutal and John and Chris are the ONLY reason we were able to make it to the summit. If you need a professional team taking care of your adventure and keep your mind peaceful in a new place, use this firm. By the way, once we completed the climb, James taking us to a spa for a well needed massage is like an icing on the cake. Thank you, James!!!
