Each game drive is an adventure, balancing along narrow wooden bridges and splashing through shallow crossings in a rugged open safari vehicle.

The accommodations will be at Richard Branson's Mahali Mzuri, a tented camp that perfectly combines tradition with luxury. The camp is renowned for offering guests authentic safari experiences, warm hospitality, and fine dining.

The team will spend the next 4 days on safaris to see some of the most spectacular wildlife Africa has to offer. Guests may get the chance to witness the Great Migration of wildebeest moving into the Maasai Mara from the Serengeti, which occurs between June and September each year. The lack of rain at this time of year also means that the bush is thinning, making it easier to see the wildlife. Guests will also have the option of heading off in a hot air balloon for a bird's eye view of the reserve.

Guests will take an early morning charter flight back to Nairobi.

Accommodations will be at the Fairmont Norfolk, a hidden gem with alluring old-world charm and elegant contemporary design. 

Guests will spend the day in Kawangware visiting RHYCO in order to see the new Safe House Compound, as well as get the chance to meet the children that the RHYCO team works tirelessly to support. 

RHYCO (Real Hope Youth Community Organization) works with vulnerable street children from extreme situations of neglect, violence, crime, and substance abuse, and the new safe house will enfold them in a safe, family-like atmosphere.

Guests will fly from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro for the final leg of the journey.

Guests will stop at three different huts up and down the mountain - the Mandara Hut, the Horombo Hut, and the Kibo Hut. After completing the climb, guests will stay at the Arusha Coffee Lodge, a perfect haven for relaxation after the gruelling trek.

Flights will arrive at the Kilimanjaro Airport. From there, guests will begin the 6 day climb up Mount Kilimanjaro on the Marangu Route. Africa’s highest mountain lies just three degrees south of the equator and is permanently snow-capped. It offers one of the best opportunities in the world to climb a peak at high altitude without the need for technical climbing ability.

The trek will take guests through well-defined altitudinal vegetation zones, from semi-arid scrub to dense cloud forest. Walking approximately 60 kilometres, guests start from Marangu Gate (1,860m) and gradually ascend to reach Gillman’s Point (5,680m) and finally Uhuru Peak (5,896m), the actual summit.

After enjoying a last breakfast at the Arusha Coffee Lodge, the team will head back to the airport to catch flights back home. Sadly, the 2022 Africa Umoja Journey must come to an end, but we hope guests will cherish this trip for the rest of their lives and join us on many more!
