Optional five/six day safari after trek"The Roof of Africa"
‘‘As wide as all the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the Sun" - Hemmingway
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest freestanding mountains in the world. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a challenge to say the least and is one of the mountains almost every trekker and mountaineer in the world wants to conquer.
"An almost perfectly shaped volcano rising sheer from Tanzania's far north-east plains, Mt Kilimanjaro is one of Africa's most magnificent sights. Snow-capped and not yet extinct, at 5895m (19,335ft) it's the highest peak on the continent. From cultivated farmlands on the lower levels, the mountain rises through lush rainforest to alpine meadow and finally across a barren lunar landscape to the twin summits. The rainforest is home to animals including elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard and monkey. You may also stumble across herds of eland on the saddle between the summits of Mawenzi and Kibo. It's a traveller's dream to scale the summit, watch dawn break and gaze out over a truly great expanse of bushland -but scaling a 5895m monolith is no Sunday school picnic." Lonely Planet Tanzania
