MOUNT KILIMANJARO

The highest mountain in Africa

Mount Kilimanjaro

At 5895m, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak, rising above the East African plains. It is also the highest free-standing mountain in the world and one of the highest peaks you can scale without technical expertise. As a high altitude mountain close to the equator, Kilimanjaro kicks up plenty of surprises. Few other treks in the world offer rainforests with primates and game, alpine pastures, high moolands of giant eerie plantlife and snow fields at the summit. 

 It is one of the world’s highest volcanoes, the highest mountain on the African continent, and the highest free-standing mountain on earth; making it an international destination attracting trekkers and mountaineers from around the globe. Set within the Kilimanjaro National Park, Kilimanjaro emerges from the sprawling plains of Tanzania and boasts dense tropical rainforests, glacial ice fields, moorlands, and mystical moonscapes. Take on the colossal challenge of climbing this majestic mountain, explore the lush forested foothills, soak up the breathtaking views or take a wildlife safari and spot some of Africa’s diverse wildlife including: elephant, buffalo, leopard, duiker, eland, hyrax, blue monkeys and more.

We offer several Kilimanjaro trekkings on request, before or after your (group) safari or Zanzibar extension!

Best time to travel to climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The best time to visit this national park, see the mountain, or climb it varies. It is said that that the dry seasons between January and February and June to August are the target times to go to Mount Kilimanjaro. Temperatures are warmer and clear skies are most likely. These can also be the most busy months. Climbing in March or October, just before each of two rainy seasons, is the best hedge to avoid both crowds and foul weather.
