Trekking Adventures

The Call of the Mountain

Some of the most profound journeys aren’t measured in miles, but in moments the crunch of earth beneath your boots, the hush of ancient forests, the rising heartbeat as you round a bend and lock eyes with something wild and free.

At Lion’s Trail Adventure, our trekking experiences are designed to connect you to East Africa in its rawest, most authentic form. These are not ordinary hikes. These are pathways into the soul of the land.

Tanzania, From Alpine Peaks to Flamingo Lakes

Tanzania is a trekker’s dream, with landscapes that rise from sun-baked savannahs to snow-capped peaks.

Mount Kilimanjaro

The highest point in Africa and one of the Seven Summits, Kilimanjaro is both a physical and spiritual ascent.

Choose from classic routes like Machame or quieter trails like Rongai, and trek through five ecological zones from rainforest to alpine desert before summiting at Uhuru Peak, 5,895 meters above sea level.

Mount Kenya

The country’s highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mount Kenya is a striking climb through moorlands, glacial valleys, and alpine meadows.

Known as the “Mountains of the Moon,” this is one of Africa’s most demanding and rewarding treks. Cross glacial streams, climb past giant lobelias, and reach snow-capped Margherita Peak—Africa’s third-highest summit.
