About this destination
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of Tanzania’s most iconic adventure destinations and the ultimate hiking experience for travellers who dream of standing on the roof of Africa. Rising above the plains of northern Tanzania, Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the world’s most remarkable free-standing peaks.
A Kilimanjaro trek is more than a mountain climb. It is a journey through changing landscapes, from lush rainforest and moorland to alpine desert and the dramatic summit zone near Uhuru Peak. Each day on the trail reveals a different side of the mountain, making the experience both physically rewarding and deeply memorable.

Reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro is a powerful achievement. The final ascent usually begins before dawn, allowing hikers to reach the summit area as the sun rises over Tanzania. From the top, the views stretch across glaciers, volcanic ridges and the vast East African landscape below.
Mount Kilimanjaro is ideal for adventure travellers, hikers, photographers, groups, solo travellers and visitors who want to combine trekking with a Tanzania safari. After your climb, you can extend your journey to nearby safari destinations such as Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater or Serengeti National Park.
