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.

“The trip organization by A2T was just wonderful. The safari expercience was fantastic. Our guide Said is a great guy, very professional and experienced.
We want to thank a lot Access2Tanzania team, specially Casey and Said, who made the experience even better. Thank A2T for all the attention and suggestions.
Ngorongoro/Manyara/Nudtu/Serengeti were absolutely great! The tips regarding money exchange, tipping, clothes, schedules etc. were also very accurate. Said exceeded our expectations. He was very patient and careful with Pedro (our 3yr old son), who liked him a lot, too.”
