Overview

Mount Kilimanjaro, known as the “Crown of Tanzania” and the “Roof of Africa,” is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing peak in the world. Its summit stands at an elevation of 5,875 meters above sea level. Kilimanjaro is unique due to its proximity to the equator, just 330 kilometers away.

The mountain comprises three volcanic summits: Shira, which reaches 3,962 meters; Mawenzi, at 5,149 meters; and Kibo, the youngest summit, at 5,895 meters. While Shira is extinct, Kibo is considered a dormant volcano that could become active.

What to Expect

Compared to other peaks in the region, such as Mount Meru, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is relatively more straightforward regarding difficulty and physical demands. It is accessible to professional climbers and those with a good fitness level who follow the guidance of experienced climbing experts. With the support of our knowledgeable guide team, you can reach the summit of Kilimanjaro and enjoy breathtaking views across Africa from its highest point.

 

Our mountain climbing guides and all the necessary equipment will ensure that your trek to the summit is as safe and comfortable as possible. Our experienced guides possess years of knowledge and experience on various routes and are well-acquainted with changing climate conditions. This expertise allows them to anticipate changes and make route recommendations or adjustments, minimizing the risk of potential accidents.

– Mwalimu J.K. Nyerere, Tanzania’s father of the nation, said on 22nd October 1959. We quote, “We, the people of Tanganyika, would like to light a candle and put it on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro which would shine beyond our borders giving hope where there was despair, love where there was hate and dignity where there was before only humiliation.”
