The walk up Kilimanjaro was absolutely amazing – a real personal challenge. I was fortunate enough to make it to the top and I have to say, the view from the top has to be the best view I have ever experienced. From Kili the safari was really stunning.

ADVENTURE DETAILS
Inn to Inn Walking
Through our UTracks brand, we offer a range of "Inn to Inn" guided and self guided walking tours. Whilst we call it our "Inn to Inn" program, you may find yourself walking from "hut to hut" in the Alps or from "hotel to hotel" in Provence, or experiencing a "centre based" trip such as our Douro Valley Walk. During your walk we look after all the logistics. Your luggage is transferred to the next nights accommodation, and we provide a set of maps and route instructions to get you there. Our accommodation - whether it be a charming country inn, pension, mountain hut, guesthouse, atmospheric hotel or B&B - is selected for the local atmosphere it offers
