About Mount Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. Reaching Uhuru Peak needs no technical climbing — just fitness, a steady pace and time to acclimatise.

The trek passes through rainforest, moorland and alpine desert to the glaciers of the summit. We offer the Marangu and Rongai routes in five days, and Machame and Lemosho on request.
