The itinerary on this trip has been improved! View the new itinerary.
At 5,895 m (19,340 ft), Mt Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak and this adventure along the Marangu Route will get you to the top safely, quickly, and with your budget in mind. Overnight in mountain huts and awake ready to conquer the slopes. As a leader in Kili treks, we'll take you to new heights in adventure on your way to the roof of Africa. Affectionately known as the "Coca-Cola Route" due to its popularity, Marangu covers forests, moorlands, and "the Saddle" (a high-altitude desert), on its way to Kibo Hut. This is the quickest route to summit – with a catch. The trail is well maintained but because of the quick ascent, the success rate is not as high as other routes. Local guides, cooks, and porters will provide support during your trek and at campsites along the way.

Please be aware that walking shoes suitable for rough terrain will be required for this excursion.

Tour of cosmopolitan Malaga - From $None
Visit Picasso’s birthplace, the attractive and cosmopolitan city of Malaga. Situated on a sweeping bay on the beautiful Andalucian coast, here you will find wide boulevards, swaying palm trees, interesting museums and inviting tapas bars. Sit back and relax as you enjoy a panoramic tour, taking in the beautiful Malagueño architecture, avenues lined by palm trees and the city’s main shopping area. You will also head to the hilltop Gibralfaro Castle and admire fabulous panoramic views of the Mediterranean. During free time, you could perhaps enjoy a glass of locally produced Malaga wine in a bodega-style bar or visit the Picasso Museum – one of Malaga’s premier attractions.
Ronda Guide - From $None
Marvel at the spectacular scenery as we drive through the majestic Andalucian mountains to the clifftop town of Ronda. Said to be equal in art, history and beauty, in its heyday, Ronda was an impregnable fortress town. Situated high on a plateau, it is dominated by El Tajo, a 100-metre-deep gorge. Admire the Royal Maestranza Bullring, one of the oldest in Spain, and other iconic landmarks including the Moorish baths and Mondragon Palace, home to the fascinating museum of Ronda. Our scenic drive back to the hotel takes us through sweeping landscapes and a citrus-fruit growing area of southern Spain. Full-day tour – Moderate walking – Bestseller
