I am interested in climbing Kilimanjaro on the machame route in the beginning of June. Since I am traveling alone, is it possible to join a group? Also I Wonder why there is such a big discount on the tour. What are the reasons for the discount?

Regarding your question, while we do not currently have any group departures scheduled specifically for the beginning of June, if other individuals book the same tour during that time, you will have the opportunity to join them. This way, you can still experience the camaraderie of a group trek. Alternatively, if there are no group departures available, you have the option to book the tour as a solo traveler. This would provide you with a more personalized experience, tailored to your preferences and pace.

The guide and tour was extremely professional, very flexible and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had six great days there, which obviously added up to the tour experience. Across Africa Tours & Travel is the ultimate partner in Africa tours. We look forward to the next trip.
