Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant stratovolcano located in Tanzania. Standing at 5,985 meters (19,341 feet), it is the highest point in Africa and is known locally as ‘The Roof of Africa’ as a result. It is also the tallest free-standing mountain in the world – meaning it is not part of a mountain range. Kilimanjaro is also unique as it is located just 330km from the equator. The mountain is composed of three distinct volcanic cones – Kibo (5,895m), Shira (3,962m), and Mawenzi (5,149m), with Kibo being the highest at Uhuru Peak. While Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, Kibo is dormant and could erupt again in the future.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is done only by one of the officially established routes. We recommend choosing between 6 to 8-day itineraries, because the more time you spend on the Mount – the better will your body acclimate to the high altitudes of Kilimanjaro, rising your chances for successful summiting.
