PARE MOUNTAIN AND LAKE JIPE

Pare Mountains And Lake Jipe


Welcome

About 2 hours driving distance from Moshi, the remote and wild Northern Pare Mountains offer a great opportunity for hiking off-the-beaten-path. The drive is very bumpy in places but offers many lovely views of the surrounding countryside, and you’ll pass through many small villages along the way.

Lake Jipe offers a great spectacle for wildlife wonderers. Hippos and crocodiles can be seen crossing the lake. On the Kenyan side, herds of zebras and elephant can be observed grassing at the plains of Tsavo National Park. A very special experience is to watch the elephants swim across the lake in the dry season (from late June to October). This lake offers a quintessentially off beaten path experience for adventurers looking to be in contact with local people and experience their life style.

Enjoy a wooden canoe tour with the local fishermen at Lake Jipe.

A perfect combination is to hike the Pare Mountains on the first day and to enjoy a canoe tour during the second day.

KILI QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Image
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. HOW DO I GET TO THE MOUNTAIN? The mountain has it’s own airport (Kilimanjaro International Airport, IATA airport code JRO). Currently around seven airlines fly into JRO, including KLM, Kenya Airways, Turkish Airlines, Ethiopian, Qatar Airways, Flydubai (partners with Emirates) and Rwandair. Your trekking company will then transfer you to a hotel in Moshi or Arusha, and from there (usually the next day) will take you to the mountain to begin your trek. (If you arrive without booking your trek, then a taxi from the airport to Moshi/Arusha is US$50.)You can also arrive overland, of course, with the mountain town of Arusha connected by bus to Kampala in Uganda and Nairobi in Kenya, as well as Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam (from where buses travel to/from other neighbouring countries).2. How many people climb each year?The latest figures that have been released by the park authorities show that, in 2016, there were 47,232 people who tried to climb Afri...

SAFARI FAQ

Image
How many travellers are in a group safari? If you opt to join an open group safari, there could be up to 6 or 7 travellers in one vehicle (depending on the accommodation plan of individuals within the group). On a private wildlife safari, no other guests will join the group other than those in your party. What is the age limit for wildlife safaris in Tanzania? There is no minimum or maximum age limit on safaris, and we are happy to organise itineraries suitable for family safaris. However, generally we advise that the best age for children is 8 years and above due to the long drives. Parents should also be aware that most campsites, and some lodges, are unfenced, and the responsibility of each child lies with you at all times. Where will I stay overnight? We offer a variety of accommodation for travellers, from basic camping in portable tents to lodges and luxury tented camps. To find out more about what packages are ava...

KILIMANJARO SAFE TREKS

SAFE TREKKING Altitude sickness on Kilimanjaro and other health problems Acute mountain sickness, more commonly known as altitude sickness, is the single biggest killer on Kilimanjaro. This may surprise a few people who, given the large number of trekkers who climb Kilimanjaro each year, are under the mistaken impression that Africa’s highest mountain is also a safe mountain. Unfortunately, as any mountaineer will tell you, there’s no such thing as a safe mountain, particularly one nearly 6000m tall with extremes of climate near the summit and ferociously carnivorous animals roaming the lower slopes.Your biggest enemy on Kilimanjaro, however, is likely to be neither the weather nor the wildlife but the altitude. Unsurprisingly, KINAPA are shy about revealing how many trekkers perish on Kili each year but what is known is that, during the millennium celebrations, when the mountain was swamped by more than a thousand trekkers on New Year’s Eve alone, three died and thirty-three more had ...
