Tanzania's northern regions, spanning the border with neighboring Kenya, are home to Mount Kilimanjaro and the adjacent Kilimanjaro National Park. Mount Kilimanjaro, which stands at 5,895 meters (19,336 feet), is the highest peak in Africa and also claims to be the "highest free standing mountain" in the world. This behemoth is unique because it is not a mountain range, as is typically the case. The mountain, which is exceptional in that it has a permanent snow-cap year-round while being so close to the equator, is only 3 degrees south of the equator. With climbers travelling through cultivated slopes, wild terrain, and glaciers, Mount Kilimanjaro depicts all of the climate types on earth, from the tropics to the arctics.
the entire wilderness of Africa is at your feet! The Seven Summits are the highest points on all seven continents, and Kilimanjaro is the only one of them that can be climbed on foot. As long as you are reasonably fit and have some willpower, you may reach the summit without any prior technical knowledge or experience. There are currently six routes up the mountain, ranging from the well-traveled and secure Marangu route to the physically demanding Umbwe route. Each has advantages of its own, so the decision comes down to personal preference (some are more picturesque, some have higher success rates, or different approach strategies), as well as the availability of trips. Since 1990, our guides have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and the Rwenzori Mountains.
Six usual trekking routes to the summit and other more-demanding mountaineering routes. Day or overnight hikes on the Shira plateau. Nature trails on the lower reaches. Trout fishing. Visit the beautiful Chala crater lake on the mountain’s southeastern slopes.
