About the Trip
Coordinated by WHOA Travel
An all-women Kilimanjaro climb? Yes please! Kilimanjaro isn’t just Africa’s highest peak; for many, it is a place of personal transformation and their first foray into the rarefied are of trekking to a (sometimes) snow-capped summit at almost 20,000ft above sea level. Rising from the border of Tanzania and Kenya, Kilimanjaro is a free-standing dormant volcano that stands as one of the legendary Seven Summits. The experience of climbing Kilimanjaro is nothing short of extraordinary: over seven days, we’ll move through five distinct ecological zones from the sun-drenched savannas of East Africa to alpine meadows, cloud forests, and finally, the glacier-capped summit that feels like the top of the world.
This is a physically demanding expedition, but you do not need to be a seasoned mountaineer; just someone with the heart and grit to push beyond comfort and into awe. If you have ever felt the call to test your limits surrounded by staggering beauty, this is your invitation.
You’ll ascend via the Machame Route, widely considered the most scenic path to the summit, with a thoughtfully paced itinerary designed to support your acclimatization and increase your chances of standing at Uhuru Peak, 19,341 feet above sea level.
Let this be your mountain.
