Experience the thrill of actually climbing 5,895 metres to Africa’s highest point. Kilimanjaro is the world’s highest, free–standing mountain and one of the largest volcanoes. This snow–covered equatorial mountain provides a dramatic view from the surrounding plains. All adventurers of good health can climb the high peak without any mountaineering experience, although it remains a considerable feat of endurance.

Team Kilimanjaro has pioneered unique ascent strategies carefully conceived to maximise climber’s personal safety and summit chances on the world’s largest non–massif mountain. Each team of porters, camp crew, guides and cook is led by a chief guide who reports daily from the mighty mountain, directly to the expedition coordinator. Successful trekkers reaching the summit will be rewarded with a spectacular view of dawn breaking across the Serengeti.
