Mount Kilimanjaro
Africa's highest peak — and the world's tallest free-standing mountain.
Why Mount Kilimanjaro
At 5,895 m Uhuru Peak is Africa's roof, and a non-technical climb that takes trekkers through five climatic zones — from rainforest to glaciated summit — in under a week.
Seven routes lead to the crater rim. The choice of route determines difficulty, scenery and your acclimatisation profile.
