Discover The Wonders Of Climbing

Mount Kilimanjaro Standing as the tallest free-standing mountain in the world and Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro is a symbol of East Africa's grandeur. Located in Tanzania, this dormant stratovolcano invites adventurers from across the globe to conquer its Uhuru Peak, sitting at an impressive 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. The climb offers a journey through diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, culminating in a dramatic summit at Uhuru Peak.

Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest mountain, standing at 4,562 meters (14,968 feet). Located in Arusha National Park, Meru offers a less crowded alternative to Kilimanjaro. The climb is steep and requires good physical fitness, but rewards climbers with stunning views of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding landscapes.

Oldoinyo Lengai, also known as the "Mountain of God," is an active volcano located in the Great Rift Valley. Rising to 2,962 meters (9,718 feet), it offers a unique climbing experience with its stark, lunar-like landscape and the chance to see recent volcanic activity.

Amazing Safari experience

Originally I wanted to join a group for Safari. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic I didn't find any other tourists who wanted to do a trip at my dates for ten days. Sumbi-Extra-Miles arranged a wonderful program for me for a good price which made my experience unforgettable!

Amazing Safari with fantastic guide!!

In preparation for our safari, we shared our ideas and wishes already with our guide whom we found on a French forum. His name is Juma and he is working as a safari guide since 2007 with some companies. Now he has founded his own company.

An incredible experience

I found this safari company on the recommendation of several people on the backpacker and I was not disappointed! We did a Safari of just 3 days with our great guide Hamisi who explained lots of things to us about the fauna and flora as well as the history of Tanzania.
