Mount Kilimanjaro

The Roof of Africa - a free-standing, snow-capped giant rising above the plains.
About the Park

Welcome to Mount Kilimanjaro

**Mount Kilimanjaro** is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain on earth, rising 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above the northern Tanzanian plains. Its snow-capped summit, Uhuru Peak, is one of the world’s great trekking prizes - and remarkably, it can be reached by determined walkers with no technical climbing experience.

A climb passes through five distinct climate zones, from lush rainforest to arctic summit, in the space of a few days. Several routes lead to the top - Machame, Lemosho, Marangu, Rongai and Umbwe among them - each with its own character and success rate. With good preparation, the right number of days for acclimatisation and an experienced local crew, reaching the Roof of Africa is an unforgettable achievement.
