Ascent and Safari

After 3 expeditions here we are again targeting the top of Africa. It's a complete trip between the equatorial jungle and the everlasting snows on the top.
You must be fit but the best preparation is to do regular walks in the previous 6 months. During the ascent we will have relaxing journey of 2 to 6 hours per day. The last day to the top will be more demanding but without major technical difficulties.
We will sleep in tents, since there are no refuges but the walking will be eased by carriers and cookers.

Note

Unfortunatly is is not (yet) possible, even for tourism animation companies like Trilhos licensed by DGT (License nº66/3), to offer "tour packets". We are sorry that the prices of the several services are discriminated but we cannot charge the full amount and only the Trilhos service. The refered prices may be influenced by variations that, if they occur, we will make our best to inform our clients.
