Overview
- Elevation (ft): 7,800ft to 9,500ft
- Distance: 6 km
- Hiking Time:3-4 hours
- Habitat: Rain Forest
- Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast you will be picked up at the lodge and taken to the Londorossi Gate at the height of 2,250 m. After the necessary registration has been completed, a bumpy drive will take you into the dense rainforest, from where your adventure commences. The moderately steep track makes its way through an unspoilt natural forest to the Big Tree Camp (2,780 m). You will be accompanied by an armed ranger for the first 2 days of your trek as wild game can be found in the area.
You will spend the night in tents at Big Tree Camp.
Please Note: This will be your first day at this altitude, so it is strongly recommended the following:
- Abstain from consuming alcohol and caffee
- Drink over 4 liters of bottled water daily (little by little, frequently)
- Take a Diamox pill to help alleviate symptoms of altitude sickness. Most mountain climbers take Diamox in the morning,
before they start their ascent, in order to reduce discomfort associated with altitude sickness. We recommend you consult your physician
prior to the trip in case of potential allergies
At night you may experience discomfort associated with acclimatization to the high altitude: because of a reduction in your waking breathing pattern, your body gets less oxygen than during the day. Taking altitude into account, you may therefore start feeling sick and have a headache. Pay attention to your own body and tell your guide
if you start feeling any symptoms of altitude sickness.

Day :2
A few months have passed, and I am still immersed in a happy and wonderful safari trip, with beautiful grasslands, lazy lions, and clever zebras... I am very grateful to the enthusiastic Marko, who planned based on my needs
