Travel Style

Treks

On foot, at altitude and in the forest. Some of the most memorable hours in Africa are spent walking.

With Africa Keys

Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world, and the Marangu route takes you from rainforest to the summit zone in stages. In Uganda, a limited number of permits each day let small groups walk into Bwindi to spend time with a family of mountain gorillas.

We plan treks around your fitness and your time, and we are straightforward about what each one asks of you.
