Tanzania:
An African Dream

The Full Shebang

Embark on the journey of a lifetime in this fifteen day trip through the very best of Tanzania. We begin our adventure at the base of Kilimanjaro, where we’ll harness the power of pranayama (breath exercises) and therapeutic yoga to empower us on our incredible summit. After our eight day climb, we’ll indulge in luxurious accommodations, healing yoga & magnificent landscape in the heart of the Sergengeti, where we’ll spend three days exploring African wildlife and nature. Our trip will finish on Zanzibar’s idyllic coast, where we’ll spend three days discovering the blue waters of the Indian Ocean for some well deserved R&R.

How fit do I need to be to climb Kilimanjaro?

A reasonable level of fitness is encouraged to embark on this trek. The walking itself, however, is not so strenuous—we'll be averaging about 6-8 miles a day. However, combined with the altitude and cold, summiting the mountain is a challenge. By giving us more time on the trek, we'll improve our chances of reaching the top by having more time to acclimatize. In short, you don't need to be super fit to join this trek but you cannot be "out of shape."

Do I need any special equipment for the trek?

No, the trek is a walk, not a climb, so you will not need any special equipment such as axes, ropes, etc.

There is no special clothing required, but you will want to have warm clothing and decent boots.
