kilimanjaro mountain

Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Northeast Tanzania, is the highest walkable mountain in the world, the largest free-standing mountain in the world, the highest mountain in Africa and has the only snowfields on the equator.
So long as you are sufficiently fit, well prepared and well guided, then Mount Kilimanjaro should reward you with an experience of genuinely life-punctuating magnitude. It is the closest many of us will ever come to experiencing a true expedition, the deep and powerful camaraderie of a team working together in adverse circumstances to reach an extraordinary goal. People who know the mountain understand the level of achievement that it represents. People who have successfully climbed Kilimanjaro tend to remain proud of the fact for the rest of their lives.

Remarkably, selecting the right operator, route and time of year actually has a much greater impact on your chances of success than how you perform on the mountain. So long as you are reasonably fit and sufficiently focussed, it should be possible for you to give yourself as high as a 90% chance of getting to the crater rim of Kilimanjaro just by getting the plan properly formulated. The following sections, together with the information on the pages for each specific trek, should provide you with everything you need to know to get you to the top of the mountain
