This New 12-day Expedition Takes You From a Stunning National Park to the Top of Mount Kilimanjaro
"Located in southern Kenya, this national park serves as the starting point for a new 12-day expedition running over the Labor Day holiday (Aug. 24–Sept. 4, 2025) that brings guests from its plains to the summit of a neighboring peak. The trip is organized by Deeper Africa, a travel company with nearly 20 years of experience and recognition in Travel + Leisure’s 2024 World’s Best Awards within the safari outfitter category, and combines safari wildlife viewing, camping, and mountain summiting while providing access to 4x4 vehicles before the hike. A spokesperson for Deeper Africa told T+L, “Travelers can discover the unparalleled beauty of [the park]’s vast landscapes and [the mountain]’s majestic peaks on this unforgettable journey.” The company describes the itinerary as a "first-class climb" and includes upgraded accommodations, hot meals, and even a private shower with hot water." - Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta is a travel writer with over 10 years of experience in journalism and television news.
