About Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain on Earth and the highest point in Africa.

Reaching Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) is a bucket-list trek that takes climbers through five distinct ecological zones, rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and glacial summit, with no technical climbing required, only endurance and altitude preparation.
