MOUNT KILIMANJARO TOUR – FULL DAY

Overview

Standing majestically at 5,895m (19,340ft), Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and one of the world’s tallest freestanding mountains. Known as the “Roof of Africa,” it attracts climbers from across the globe to conquer its snow-capped summit.

The trek offers more than just altitude — it is a journey through five ecological zones, from fertile farmland and lush rainforest, to heather and moorland, the stark alpine desert, and finally the icy glaciers of Kibo’s summit.

Climbing Kilimanjaro requires no technical mountaineering experience, making it accessible to any determined and physically fit traveler.
