Imagine welcoming the New Year at 5,895 metres above sea level, standing on Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. Instead of celebrating midnight at home, begin 2027 with an extraordinary achievement on the Roof of Africa! As 2026 comes to an end, Lindo Travel & Tours invites adventurous travellers from around the world to experience something truly unforgettable: a special New Year Kilimanjaro climbing adventure, with the opportunity to reach Uhuru Peak on 1 January 2027.
This festive season, we are organizing three special fixed group departures via the famous Machame and scenic Lemosho routes. Whether you prefer a shorter expedition or a longer climb with additional acclimatization time, there is an adventure waiting for you.

There are many ways to celebrate the New Year, but few experiences compare to watching the first sunrise of 2027 from the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Your journey will take you through some of the mountain's most spectacular landscapes, from lush tropical rainforest and beautiful moorlands to dramatic alpine deserts and magnificent glaciers.
As midnight approaches on 31 December, you will begin your final ascent towards the summit under a sky filled with stars. Guided by our experienced mountain crew, you will gradually make your way towards Stella Point before continuing to Uhuru Peak (5,895m).
Reaching the summit on New Year's Day is a remarkable way to welcome a new chapter in life. Celebrate your achievement, take unforgettable photographs and enjoy the incredible feeling of standing on top of Africa.

At Lindo Travel & Tours, we believe climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is about much more than reaching the summit. It is about the entire journey, the people you meet, the landscapes you discover and the memories you create along the way.

When you climb with us, you benefit from:
Experienced mountain guides: Knowledgeable local guides who understand the mountain and its challenges.
Professional mountain crew: Dedicated cooks and porters who support your expedition throughout the climb.
Carefully planned itineraries: Routes designed with attention to acclimatization, trekking pace and mountain safety.
Freshly prepared mountain meals: Nutritious meals to keep you energized throughout your journey.
Quality camping equipment: Comfortable mountain camping arrangements for your expedition.
Small group experience: An opportunity to meet fellow travellers and share the adventure.
Your safety and well-being remain our priority throughout the climb. Our guides monitor climbers' conditions, conduct regular health checks and make decisions based on mountain conditions and individual fitness.
Our New Year Kilimanjaro group departures welcome solo travellers, couples, friends and small groups looking to share an unforgettable mountain adventure.
You do not need previous mountaineering experience to climb Kilimanjaro. However, good physical preparation, determination and a positive attitude are important.
We recommend beginning your fitness preparation well in advance, with regular hiking, walking, stair climbing and cardiovascular exercises.
Choosing a suitable itinerary is equally important. Trekkers should consider the additional acclimatization opportunities offered by longer routes when selecting their climb.
How would you like to tell your story of welcoming 2027 on top of Africa?
While others celebrate the New Year at home, you could be standing at Uhuru Peak, surrounded by the glaciers of Kilimanjaro and watching the first sunrise of the year.
Spaces are limited for these special festive-season group departures, and early booking is recommended to secure your place.
