Barafu Camp is where Kilimanjaro gets serious: the rocky, exposed high camp at roughly 15,300 feet where the Machame and Lemosho routes converge for the final night. Climbers arrive by early afternoon, eat early, and sleep in stages, because the summit push to Uhuru Peak via Stella Point leaves around midnight to reach the crater rim at dawn. Barafu means "ice" in Swahili, and the name is honest about the temperatures. There is nothing luxurious here and that is the point; it is the place where preparation, acclimatization, and the strength of your crew pay off. See how the camp fits into our Kilimanjaro climbs, route by route.

Kassandra understood what we were looking for right from the beginning! She gave us two perfect choices (destinations) that made it hard for us to decide, only because both met our needs and wants. Quick replies, detailed itineraries, flexibility to add or remove activities. This is our second time vacationing with Adventure Life and I am sure there will be more!

Wow, where does one start. This will be our fourth trip through Adventure Life. The first three where flawless, perfectly organized trips. I love the system with this company, you have a travel planner Franny who is simply the best. She listens to exactly what you want, makes suggestions if we are off, and then delivers a fabulous itinerary. After that is done you have a travel planner assistant who knocks out all the details up until you leave for your trip. Phen is my idea of wonder woman. All questions/concerns were always answered the same day and updates were often. Thank you Franny and Phen for all your hard and thorough work!!!

Adventure Life put together an amazing trip for our families’s first trip to Africa! We loved our safari experience in southern Tanzania, which were off the beaten path from the more traveled parks in northern Tanzania. The logistics were smooth, all of the details were attended to, and they really listened to what our family wanted from this trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Everyone at Adventure Life was amazing to work with! They organized a family trip for 17 to go on Safari and it was a trip of a lifetime! Every detail was covered and they had some amazing local partners that provided wonderful service! Would highly recommend Adventure Life for any trip!
