FAQ

Kilimanjaro & adventure — straight answers.

At 5,895 m, Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa — a non-technical trek (no ropes or climbing skills needed) but a serious high-altitude challenge. Success depends mostly on acclimatisation, so choosing a longer route (7–8 days) dramatically improves your summit chances. Reasonable fitness and mental determination are the main requirements. See our Tanzania travel guide.
The most popular routes are Machame ("Whiskey", scenic, 6–7 days), Lemosho (remote, high success, 7–8 days) and Marangu ("Coca-Cola", huts not tents, 5–6 days but lower success). Longer routes mean better acclimatisation and higher summit rates. Cooee uses reputable operators with strong safety records and fair porter treatment.
The clearest, driest windows are January–March and June–October. June–October is busiest (and coincides with East African safari season, so many combine the two); January–March is quieter and often clear. Avoid the long rains (April–May) and short rains (November).
Plenty — white-water rafting and bungy at Victoria Falls, hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town, trekking the High Atlas in Morocco, quad-biking and sandboarding the dunes of Namibia and Swakopmund, and canoeing the Zambezi. See our Africa activities.
Yes — it's the classic Tanzania pairing. Most climbers add a Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari and often a Zanzibar beach finale to recover afterwards. It makes a superb, well-rounded two-to-three-week trip. See our East Africa safari guide.
