Where TAF Travel is strongest
Mount Ararat and Kilimanjaro are the journeys at the heart of TAF Travel’s mountain work. Start with the route shape, the acclimatization plan, and the practical team around you.
Mount Ararat
The 6-day route follows the permitted two-camp ascent with local guiding, horse support for main luggage, and full-board mountain logistics. The 7-day option adds an acclimatization day before the summit attempt and a cultural visit to İshak Paşa Palace.
Kilimanjaro
Marangu and Lemosho use different approaches to the mountain. We organize the route around gradual acclimatization, camp logistics, transfers, and the local team, then confirm the practical plan with each group.
