KILIMANJARO TRAILS FESTIVAL

Kili Trails Fest is a four-day celebration of the outdoors at Simba Farm, on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Join us for trail running, mountain biking, camping, food and live music.

In 2027, the Kilimanjaro Trail Run ultramarathons join the festival, bringing three high-altitude races into Kilimanjaro National Park.

You don’t have to race to join us. Bring your family and friends, cheer on the runners and riders, grab a bite from one of our food vendors and catch live music from local artists. Come for the day or pitch a tent and stay for the whole festival.
