    Kilimanjaro & Himalaya

    A trip that begins in the Himalaya with a trek to view the world's highest mountain followed by a trek up Kilimanjaro in Africa.

    What turned out to be a very successful trip in 2005 was a journey where we trekked in the Himalaya with views of the world's highest mountains and combined this with a trek to Kilimanjaro in Africa.

    We begin this trip with a flight drive to Darjeeling in the foot hills of the Himalaya. We explore this charming town, with walks to the Tibetan Centre and Dali monastery before heading off to trek along the Singalila ridge for views of the world;s highest mountains including Mt. Everest and Kangchenjunga. You get to see four of the five highest mountains on this trek. After the trek you travel to Moshi, which will be our base for our tours to the wild life national parks and walks through Masai villages. From here we also head off to climb Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro.

    After the trek we drive back to Moshi, before beginning our journey home.
