Overview
Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, rises majestically above the clouds at 5,895 meters. Known as the ‘Roof of Africa,’ it attracts trekkers and adventurers from around the world. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a bucket-list journey, taking hikers through five ecological zones—from tropical rainforest to alpine desert to icy summit. The view at Uhuru Peak is unlike any other, a triumph of endurance and beauty. Even for non-climbers, the mountain’s foothills offer scenic treks, waterfalls, and cultural experiences with the Chagga people.
