Capturing sunrise from Uhuru Peak

Discover the Majestic Sunrise from Uhuru Peak with Safari Multiways

Embark on a journey of a lifetime and witness the dramatic spectacle of the sun rising from Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, standing proudly at 5,895 meters above sea level. Located on the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Uhuru Peak is not just a summit but a symbol of challenge, endurance, and achievement. Join us at Safari Multiways, a leading tour operator in Tanzania, as we guide you through the enthralling experience of capturing the sunrise from this iconic peak.

Why Uhuru Peak Offers the Ultimate Sunrise Experience

Imagine standing above the clouds, watching the horizon change hues, as the first rays of the sun light up the vast African landscape. Uhuru Peak provides a unique vantage point from which to view the sunrise, offering panoramic views that stretch across the plains below and even into neighboring countries. The journey through different climatic zones—from tropical rainforests to alpine deserts—adds to the dramatic sense of adventure that culminates in this breathtaking moment.

Your Journey to the Roof of Africa

The trek to Uhuru Peak is thrilling and challenging, making the final view of the sunrise even more rewarding. Safari Multiways offers various routes to the summit, each with its own unique attractions:

  1. Marangu Route: Known as the "Coca-Cola" route, this is the most established and easiest path, featuring comfortable sleeping huts. It typically takes 5-6 days to complete.

  2. Machame Route: Popularly called the "Whiskey" route, this is slightly more challenging than Marangu but offers stunning scenery. It usually takes about 6-7 days.

  3. Lemosho Route: A longer option that allows for better acclimatization and higher success rates, taking 7-8 days.

  4. Rongai Route: This less-traveled path offers a more remote and serene hiking experience, taking about 6-7 days.

Each of these routes has been carefully selected and tested by our experienced team to ensure you have the safest and most memorable experience. Your journey will be supported by professional guides, porters, and cooks who are all committed to making your Kilimanjaro trek a success.
