Take on the sacred Maasai mountain on a 2-day adventure; Mt. Longido is located in the western parts of the Kilimanjaro Region and reaches a height of 2637m. You’ll spend the night under the starry skies. A challenging, 8-hour hike that ascends over 1300m and offers amazing views on both Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro.
Over the next two days, we will be climbing Mt. Longido (2637m), the sacred mountain of the Maasai people. Located in the western region of Kilimanjaro, near the town of Longido and close to the borders of Kenya. A truly unique off-the-beaten-path experience.
You’ll be accompanied by a local guide who will take you to the summit. While the trek is relatively short at just 6.5 kilometers, it comes with its challenges due to a significant 1300-meter ascent. The climb to the top takes around 5 hours and brings you to the summit around 5 p.m., just in time for sunset! Once we’ve set up camp, we’ll have dinner and a night spent under the starry mountain sky.
The following morning, the descent is a more relaxed 2-3 hours, with a photo break at the Leopard Rock viewpoint before returning back to the starting point where our driver will be waiting.
*It is possible to climb Mount Longido in one day, but it’s definitely worth spending the night on the mountain.
*Please note that this experience is exclusively available as part of our complete safari package. Due to the remote location, we are unable to offer it as a separate group or private excursion.
