Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, rises to a height of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), making it the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. The enormous mountain’s base has a diameter of almost 70 kilometres. This spectacular formation is visible from more than 160 kilometres away on clear days, and although being only three degrees south of the equator, its peak is always covered in snow and ice.
The majority of the year, with the exception of the rainy season from April to May, is suitable for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro’s summit is undoubtedly challenging and dangerous, but anyone who is physically fit, has a positive outlook, and adheres to a skilled guide’s instructions can successfully climb it. Everyone who sets out on this majestic mountain hike hopes to reach the summit because it is a once-in-a-lifetime event!
The Marangu route, the Machame route, the Lemosho route, the Ubwe route, the Rongai route, and the Shira route are the six alternative ways to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro. All paths diverge in their starting and finishing positions, but they all lead to Uhuru’s summit. However, for our package options, we advise against taking the Shira and Umbwe routes in favour of the others.
