Conquer the Roof of Africa with Safari 56 Limited
Have you ever dreamed of standing on the Roof of Africa, looking out over the endless plains of Tanzania, surrounded by clouds and snow-capped peaks? That dream can become reality on Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, rising to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) in northern Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro Region, near the vibrant town of Moshi.
Kilimanjaro is not just a mountain; it’s a journey through five distinct ecological zones, from lush rainforest and heath to alpine desert and icy summit terrain. Its three volcanic cones — Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira — make it one of the most spectacular trekking destinations in the world.
At Safari56 Limited, we offer carefully curated trekking packages, expert guidance, and the knowledge to help you reach the summit safely while enjoying every step of your journey.
