Kilimanjaro Machame Route

MOUNT KILIMANJARO

Mount Kilimanjaro is the world’s highest freestanding mountain and also Africa’s highest peak, at 5985m. Climbing Kilimanjaro is justifiably considered a once in a lifetime experience.

PANGANI BEACH

Pangani beach stretches as far as you can see in each direction and because it faces due east you’ll see some beautiful sunrises. This is a laid-back, relaxing place and one of the few spots in Tanzania where you can enjoy the bush and the beach at the same time.
