Mount Kilimanjaro

Overview

About Kilimanjaro

Standing alone on the Tanzanian plains, Mount Kilimanjaro is a sight that stops people in their tracks. Africa's highest peak — and the world's highest free-standing mountain — rises from 750 metres at its base to 5,895 metres at Uhuru Peak, the summit of Kibo crater.

The mountain passes through six ecological zones on the way up: cultivated farmland, montane forest alive with colobus monkeys and hornbills, heathland of giant heathers and lobelias, high alpine moorland, a barren alpine desert, and finally the glaciated arctic zone of the summit itself. Few experiences compress so much variety into a single walk.

Our certified guides have led hundreds of successful ascents across all major routes. We provide full equipment, a dedicated cook team, and an acclimatisation schedule designed for the best possible summit success rate — typically above 90% for our climbers.
