KILIMANJARO MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

"8 Days Kilimanjaro Mountain Climbing"

A freestanding, snow-covered dormant volcano, majestic Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. Located in northeast Tanzania, it can be seen from far into Kenya and Amboseli National Park. 75,000 mountaineering enthusiasts climb Kilimanjaro every year so it is not the most untouched mountain, nor is it the most arduous. However, it is certainly a test of one’s endurance, with altitude sickness the main reason for hikers not getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Although it has become a very popular challenge and the experience slightly crowded with other climbers, we still highly recommend it for anyone with an interest in mountaineering.

Mt Kilimanjaro is located in North Tanzania next to some of the top safari parks in Africa, so while making an ascent it would be a shame not visit the northern parks and experience the Serengeti, Ngorongoro or Tarangire. There are hundreds of operators that work on Mount Kilimanjaro but over the years, we have decided to work some companies based on their safety record of accomplishment, guides and cost. Climbing Kilimanjaro is potentially very dangerous so it is important to be with the right company.
