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.

“My overall experience with Access 2 Tanzania was excellent. Karen was great from the start until the end of the safari trip. She was prompt in responding to all emails and phone calls. She was able to answer every question we had and was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the trip. The itinerary of the safari was planned perfectly around everything that we wanted to see and do. In addition, I cannot say enough good things about our guide, Noel. Noel was also very knowledgeable of all of the wildlife and navigating the areas of the safari that we went on. He was also a pleasure to be around for the entire week and made us feel very comfortable with everything, including checking in with the lodges, the hot air balloon, and our flight out of the Serengeti. Noel made it a point to make us happy and satisfied with all aspects of the safari. I would absolutely recommend anyone taking a trip to Tanzania to use Access 2 Tanzania and to also specifically request Noel as their guide!”
