Mount Kilimanjaro

The roof of Africa, no ropes required

Known ForStanding on Africa's highest summit without technical climbing
Best Time to VisitJanuary to mid-March and June to October
Size5,895 m (Uhuru Peak)
Getting ThereKilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), close to Moshi and Arusha

Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 meters, making it the highest point in Africa and the tallest mountain in the world that stands alone rather than as part of a range.

None of the main routes (Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, Shira and Umbwe) needs technical climbing skills, so it is one of the most achievable great summits on earth. The real challenge is altitude. Longer itineraries give your body more time to adjust and greatly improve your chance of reaching the top. Our mountain crews have been guiding climbers up Kilimanjaro for more than 13 years.
