Mount Kilimanjaro is the iconic crown of Tanzania and the highest peak in Africa. As the world's tallest freestanding mountain, it rises majestically from the savanna, offering a dream-like silhouette that has inspired explorers for centuries.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a journey through five distinct ecological zones, ranging from tropical rainforest and alpine meadows to the lunar-like landscapes of the desert and finally the snow-capped arctic summit. It is a literal trek across the world in a single mountain ascent.
Unlike many high peaks, Uhuru Peak can be reached without technical climbing equipment, making it a "walk-up" mountain accessible to determined trekkers.
From the lush rainforest at the base to the glaciers at the top, experiencing the dramatic changes in flora and fauna is a highlight of the trek.
The ultimate goal—standing at the highest point in Africa at 5,895 meters above sea level.
