Join Across the Divide on the Roof of Africa!

At 5,895 metres, Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peak is one of the most magnificent sights in Africa. Our trek takes you to the remote north-eastern side of Kilimanjaro and follows the Rongai Route to the summit.

Rongai retains a true sense of wilderness: there are few fewer trekkers than on other trails (usually one-tenth of the number that take the Marangu Route) and it is generally considered to offer some of the best opportunities for acclimatisation.

A wonderful trek into the heart of the Sahara: the second largest desert in the world and one of the last great areas of wilderness. One of the hottest, driest (and sandiest!) places on Earth, the Sahara Desert covers an area larger than the entire United States, and trekking through this vast sea of sand is a truly unique experience.

Our trek follows an old trade route still used by nomadic Berber tribesmen and their camel caravans, and takes us over vast sand dunes, along dried-up riverbeds, across rocky plateaux and through idyllic oases. We will camp in traditional Berber tents in this remarkable vast and varied landscape, and have the opportunity for some star-gazing at night.
