Climbing safaris

East Africa is a recreational climber's paradise.  From Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, to the Ruwenzoris in Uganda, East Africa has what you are looking for in a challenging climb.

Like every safari at Black Mamba, all our climbs are custom tailored to your desires.  We will engage you in a dialogue to understand what you want to experience, and it is our pleasure to make it happen.

Climbs

• Kilimanjaro Climbs
• Mt. Meru Climb

Porters

All our climbs include porters to carry your packs, sleeping bags (if needed), food and anything else that is needed.

Cooking

Our cooks will prepare for you 3 hot meals per day, because when you are climbing at altitude, nothing replenishes the body's energy like a bowl of hot soup or a hearty meal.

A typical breakfast will include tea, coffee or hot cocoa, some fruit, eggs and toast.

Lunch will be sandwiches, fruit, hot soup, and tea, coffee or cocoa.

By dinnertime, it will get quite chilly on the mountain.  Your cook will prepare some soup and hot beverages to start, followed by a hot main course, which will vary from day to day.  A typical meal may be spaghetti in meat sauce or chicken in a savory peanut sauce.
