KILIMANJARO - CONQUERING THE ROOF OF AFRICA
ABOUT THIS TRIP
Take on one of the Seven Summits as you journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m), the highest peak in Africa. This is a slow and purposeful climb through changing landscapes, from lush rainforest and alpine heath to stark volcanic terrain and icy glaciers near the top. Along the way, you will share the trail with a close-knit team of guides, porters, and fellow climbers, forming bonds that often last beyond the mountain. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise is a powerful moment of achievement, reflection, and perspective. Kilimanjaro is not just a climb, it is a journey that challenges you physically, grounds you mentally, and stays with you long after you descend.
BEST TIME TO GO
The best periods to climb Kilimanjaro are during the dry seasons from Jan-Mar and Jun-Oct. These months offer more stable weather, clearer skies, and better trail conditions. Jan to Mar is slightly quieter with colder nights but fewer crowds, while Jun to Oct is the most popular window with excellent visibility and cooler daytime temperatures. These periods give you the best chance of a safe, enjoyable climb and clear summit views.

This year, we’re teaming up with Goliath, Singapore's trusted outdoor apparel and gear experts, to take on one of the world’s most iconic challenges. This co-branded expedition to the Roof of Africa brings together two brands driven by the same core belief: taking action. Jambo Journeys exists to inspire people to chase big adventures, while Goliath stands for facing your giants and going the distance.
Join us on this challenge where Kilimanjaro becomes a true test of preparation, resilience, and mindset. This climb is as much about the journey, the people you share it with, and the commitment you make to yourself, as it is about standing on the summit.

• Exclusive Shopping Day at Goliath’s warehouse, where you'll get properly fitted, and gear up with expert advice
• Pre-departure hike briefing in Singapore to walk through the climb, expectations, and preparation together as a group

We did a private tour in Tanzania in Dec 2024, and to date it’s still one of our most memorable experiences :) we spent a week hiking up Mt Kilimanjaro and another week in the Safari. Perfect for our honeymoon as we didn’t have to do any research, we simply booked our flight tickets and turned up in our gear. We were so well taken care of by the local guide we didn’t have to worry about anything. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking for a unique experience!

The Jambo team ensured that everything was smooth and well planned, allowing my pals and I to indulge in the epic beauty that Tanzania and its iconic mountain offers.
The Jambo experience felt like a unique personalised trip planned by buddies who truly looked out for my welfare and comfort. I am extremely impressed with Jambo's excellent offering and I am excited to participate in the next adventure with them!

It was our first time in Africa, and the team made us feel at home away from home. We were very well-supported every step of the way, and had the experience of a lifetime at the summit.
Love the energy, love the thoughtfulness, and I'm glad to have had the Jambo experience. Definitely looking to my next Big Adventure with Jambo! 😄
