2026 KILIMANJARO MARATHON TRIP – NEW MONTH!
Get Ready to “Travel – Run – Give Back” in March!
After years of mounting the Kilimanjaro Marathon on the last Sunday of February, organizers have decided to move the event to March 22, 2026. The benefit of this shift is that the event no longer conflicts with the peak safari season and prices to combine your run with a wildlife safari adventure offer better value.
Picture yourself traveling to Tanzania for a unique and very fun Marathon (or Half Marathon or 5K) in the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Before the run, enjoy 3 nights in Nyamuswa Village to participate in the Fourth Annual Chamriho 5k, a community fun run that raises funds locally to support school meals for students. Then, enjoy an amazing 5-day wildlife safari (through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park) enroute to Moshi where you will enjoy the weekend festivities of the Kilimanjaro Marathon.
During the village visit, you will tour a school and learn about the innovative ways that PZ is empowering local communities, teachers, and schools. Special for 2026, PZ is celebrating its 25 Year Anniversary, and the village will be buzzing with fun activities including a tour to learn about the history and culture of the area.

“Access 2 Tanzania was absolutely amazing from day 1 of planning to our bittersweet “see you later” wave to Tanzania on our plane ride home. Casey helped my husband and I plan and execute our dream honeymoon. All we came to Access 2 Tanzania with was a rough idea of dates, a budget, and a dream of going on a safari – Casey took it from there! He worked with us to plan a great itinerary and handled every logistical detail from booking us puddle jumper flights out of the middle of the Serengeti to making sure our favorite soft drinks were stocked in our safari vehicle. Even after our itinerary was finalized, he checked in with us multiple times to answer any and every question we had and to make sure we were all set with visas, vaccinations, etc. We had the best experience ever and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to East Africa!”
